I used to use tazorac many years back, i used it for a long time, and although my skin did improve, i found it WAY too drying. My whole face was always dry and flakey. Although back then I wasn't really good at moisturizing my face either, i'd stay away from anything moisturizing and just reach for products with ingredient that would dry out my pimples/skin.

So perhaps it well help you out, and if you could find a good, natural, non pore clogging moisturizer-i would recommend you use it along with it!

My skin was the opposite with it. It made me feel like a had a layer of oil on my forehead and nose. My dermatologist prescribed it to cut down on the oil but it didn't work...
