unhappy09Can I use tazorac more than once a day to get improvements? My face is always oily, do I have to use the moisturizer before applying taz? My breakouts have gotten worse and they are very painful. I'm breaking out all over my face when I never used to. Why is it so important to just use a pea-sized amount?

How to start and stick with Tazorac
Think 1-2-3 once daily
1 Wash your face with warm, not hot, water and a mild cleanser. No astringents or alcohol-based products
2 Apply moisturizer before using Tazorac (tazarotene) Cream or Gel 0.1% to minimize drying and irritation by restoring the skin's protective barrier
3 Spread one pea-size drop of Tazorac over your entire face. Using more will not make your skin better faster and could cause irritation.
You will need to use Tazorac for 12 weeks.
