I got free samples from my dermatologist. I gave up after about a week because my skin started to peel off. It was severe, too--like I had gotten major sunburn.

I have seen a mild improvement. The medication is really drying and irritating, though I have roseacea also. I have been using it for 2.5 months and expected better results.

IT works great for me... But my acne was like less to none. Just preventative really. It dried my skin out but only for a week till I got used to it. I like the gel better though. Because the cream wasnt really strong enough and left white residue... It works great with clyndamiasin cream and it did a way better job of preventing breakouts then Differen gel did.

Tazorac works well for me. I use a thin film on my skin for about 30 minutes, then I wash it off. This keeps my skin from burning or peeling too much. Additionally, i started getting bi monthly facials. I have fewer breakouts. Prior to this I tried Acutane and had no luck with that - actually it was hell for 6-7 months.

Tozorac dried my skin out and provided no clearing of scars. I used the product for 4 weeks.

Dried out my skin, but barely did anything for my cysts and pustules. This stuff really dries out your skin at first.
