I've been on Tazorac for 5 months now. In the 5th month, I've determined it's a very powerful medication for moderate acne. I've battled acne for 22 years, transitioning from adolescent to adult acne. After having gone through courses of Accutane and Antibiotics over the years, I wanted to try a less-severe, topical medication. In trying Tazorac, the first few months were difficult; with the initial acne surge and ebbs and flows of breakouts. But Ive had some consistent results in the last month, having stayed patient. I definitely recommend a try!
