For all you frustrated users: listen up. I started tazorac many years ago and it worked but it dried me out I stopped. Big mistake. I should have kept on it and used it properly. Years later at 22 years old, desperate and depressed about my decade occurring acne, I decided to go back on it. Thanks to this website I realized I was applying it all wrong. Don't do what I did!! I know it's hard not to apply gobs and gobs of product when you're staring at all of those red cysts and wanting them to disappear immediately but it isn't the solution. It will only make it worse I PROMISE. If you're looking for a quick fix this is not your product. I started in October and two months later I still feel like I want to cry when looking at my face. But in just one night of Using it properly I can feel and see a difference. Instead of slathering it on and then spot treating the major ones, apply a good lotion (I use cetaphil or cerave) and let it sit for 15-20 minutes. After that, apply a pea sized amount of tazorac over your entire face. I know this s so hard when you feel like you need a dump truck size amount but it'll be worth it when you wake up in the morning. I did the correct way just last night for the first time and I already feel better. Yes I have zits and red marks still, but I don't have a million new ones popping up among a sea of dry flaky skin otherwise known as my face. I have about 5 weeks to go in the 12 week process and im praying that the new proper application will be what I needed to see the results I wanted. Be patient and understand that this product does not just keep zits from forming like some other weaker products. No, this product does exactly the opposite. It brings everything to the surface and starts fresh. If you dnt want this to happen don't use this. Hope this helped someone. I will post an update after my 12 week marker hits. Wish me luck.....

Pros:
  • Clears deep
  • Helps wrinkles over time
  • Hopefully going to clear up skin entirely
Cons:
  • Takes forever
  • Super expensive
  • Greasy
  • Drying
