I have been on tazorac for almost a week and a half now. I think I was on it when I was younger, but did not stick with it since I was so young!
Pretty much I have had acne since I was in 3rd grade. I am now 21 and still suffer from it. Have tried different kinds of birth control, changing my diet, and I have even done accutane twice. The accutane cleared my acne both times but only for a few months afterwards, then it came back but it definitely is not as bad as it was before the accutane. I also eat completely dairy free ( I miss pizza 
) and when I can gluten free. I also limit my surgar.
Has anyone else done accutane, it not worked, then had results from tazorac?
I am now breaking out in places I don't usually break out and my skin is SO dry around my mouth.
I am just curious to how long the initial breakout lasts and if this breakout is going to get much worse as time goes on? Right now I have about 6 new pimples on my face that appeared today.
How long should I stick with the tazorac? I'm also taking doxycycline and using cerave moisturizer.
Does anyone have any tips if tazorac worked for them? I have been reading up and currently I wash my face, wait 20 minutes, apply tazorac, wait 10, then wash it off with water. Then I wait about 10 more minutes and put moisturizer on and I only do the taz at night.
I have been facing acne for over 10 years now and I just want to feel good about myself and I have no self confidence because of it. And after accutane twice..I just don't know what to do anymore
Im in a very similar situation as you. Im also 21 and have been on Accutane just to have my breakout return a few months after. About 3 months ago I started using Differin and Im now starting to see pretty good results. I know this isnt what you are wanting to hear but your going to have to stick with it for 3 months to see good results. But I wish you the best of luck! and dont give up right away.
Thanks! I've been on differin the past before too but like taz, not for long cause I was so young and didn't stick with it. I guess if this doesn't work, that is what I'll try next, but really, it is so stressful. Why do we have to work so hard for clear skin when most people have it naturally? But glad to know you are on the same boat as me. Good luck to you too
I also have a question I forgot to ask..I have been using Neutragena Acne Free Wash cause that is what I've always used but is it too harsh with taz? I only use it in the morning, then at night I use an organic soap from the dead sea. Is there a better face wash that I should be using? Or should I try something with bp in morning?
