Tazarotene is a vitamin A derivative called a topical retinoid. It helps clear acne by promoting skin cell turnover and reducing inflammation in the skin.
Tazarotene is usually applied once a day around bedtime.

The flaking and burning. It lasts a long time. For me the first time (i stopped using for a while for all natural, needless to say i broke out horrible) around 2 months. This time only a month. Its embarrasing but so worth it. Flaking stops when the bumps go away
Also I experienced a rough initial breakout
Works but takes a while
Dries out face...Dont go in sun with it...you WILL get a reaction
Stopped little pimples from becoming bigger pimples. Reduced swelling from pimples that I shouldn't have picked, but did pick. Face is clearer.
You have to give your self time to apply. First wash your face, let it dry. Then my doctor told me to apply a mosturizer BEFORE applying the tazorac, so I did, then had to let that dry (15-20 minutes) then lightly apply tazorac.
