Fabior (tazarotene) for Acne "I have not found an acne product that works and keeps me clear, until Fabior. I used Retin A micro for years and was constantly breaking out then peeling, breaking out then peeling. And it burned when I applied it. I have been using Fabior for the past year and finally found something that works. I got dry after using it for two weeks but not crazy peeling. It only lasted a weekend and wasn’t noticeable to anyone but me. I only use Fabior Monday Wed Friday and I use cerave moisturizer with it which I think helps. If I am breaking out (which is rare now) I may use two days in row but don’t need to often. It’s been life changing for my skin and has helped even out my skin and the leftover color that lingers from breakouts . I refilled for the first time a few months ago, so it lasted me a couple months but maybe because I only use a few times a week. ONLY USE A SMALL AMOUNT~seriously! Don’t irritate your skin with too much and plus it last longer that way!!"

Tazorac (tazarotene) for Acne "I have been using it now for about a month. I have had acne since I was 11 and I'm now 50. Nothing has ever worked, ever! My dermotologist asked me to try first every other day and now I'm using it every day...about the side of a pea and I mix it with my Neutrogena face lotion with SPF sunscreen. I place it on my face and declote'. It has removed so many sun spots! My face looks 5 years younger...and my acne is healing much faster. It use to take a blemish, sometimes months to heal! Now I can see my skin is recuperating faster from blemishes. Even my best friend keeps saying, "you look so good today, what are you doing?" Ha, I finally told her and she has an appt with my dermatologist now. I am still using samples, don't know $$"

Arazlo (tazarotene) for Acne "This was awful. My skin would peel so bad and got to the point where my skin starting getting red and itchy. It started to scab and got really painful. Tried to stick it out but I can’t anymore. Too painful. It helped with the bumps I have on my forehead, but didn’t really help with the rest of my acne. Not worth it."

Tazorac (tazarotene) for Acne "I am really impressed I just start using Tazorac 0.05 but definitely can see an improvement it does purge your skin and it is drying at first but the pimples go away fast and my skin texture looks more even and firm hopefully in 3 months I will be acne free I was on epiduo but it stop working and my skin really was oily"

Fabior (tazarotene) for Acne "I have used this product for over a month now , and I have used a lot of acne products, but this is by far the best I have ever used.

Tazorac (tazarotene) for Acne "Love love love Tazorac. Been using this for almost 2 years and I went from having horrendous cystic acne to having none! After trying so many oral medications, they did nothing but fix my skin in the short term(acne came back right after oral medications stopped) and caused long term digestive issues. Tazorac is the only thing that keeps my skin clear and has minimal side effects! The only side effect I've experienced is dry skin but just put extra moisturizer on and you’ll be fine!"

Tazorac (tazarotene) "I’ve been using Tazorac for Keratosis pilaris for years, commonly known as “chicken skin,” is the most common cause of bumps on your arms. This condition is characterized by small red or brown bumps that develop on the backs of your upper arms. It’s the only thing that worked, it’s strong so I used it for maybe a few days and the skin got raw but after that it was clear. I use it once a year now as needed and exfoliate with a salt scrub 3 times a week."

Tazorac (tazarotene) for Psoriasis "I apply it all over my face after washing and patting dry. I keep it on overnight, don't wash it off, and keep it on until the next night I shower. I do this three days in a row, and then I do this routine every other day for about 2 months. This clears up my dermatitis for 2-3 months, at which point, I start my routine all over. Winter months are a battle with the irritation, peeling, and redness, but that's when I have to be most aggressive with treatment. When my skin gets to the point where its super itchy, raw and red, I use benedryl lotion and it works like a charm. I love this product. My skin looks fantastic. Not only is it really great at clearing up my skin, it's also great at diminishing fine lines."

Tazorac (tazarotene) for Psoriasis "Applied to my plaque psoriasis daily . At first my skin got super irritated raw and started to crack open . After this initial bad reaction it started to heal and progressively clear . The amazing part is that the plaque psoriasis did not immediately return at that location like it does when you discontinue the use of other topicals . To me the pain is worth the gain. It is by no means a pleasant treatment but it's effective."

Fabior (tazarotene) for Acne "I've had moderate to almost severe acne for at least 4 years prior to using Fabior. Now let me tell you this medicine will probably worsen your acne or dryness or redness the first couple of months you are on it but once you've used it for a long time the results are amazing. My advice would be to use a morning and evening moisturizer because Fabior and any retinoid will dry you out. This product should last a long time for one bottle and never overuse it ever."

Tazorac (tazarotene) for Acne "HAVE BEEN ON FOR 9 WEEKS!!!!! So amazed by my results I am shocked and I hardly breakout now. Before I used to get bad breakouts and now I just get a few tiny ones and this is helping with my scarring also. 10/10 would recommend this product to anyone with acne."

For Acne "The product isn't super effective for acne when using it by itself (still the best retinoid though) but when you combine it with the use of Benzoyl Peroxide it works like magic. It makes my skin look great when it comes to texture and it works really well for cystic acne and getting rid of hyperpigmentation, I literally depend on this medication. It's not like other products where you use it for a month and your skin gets used to it and then you stop seeing results, I've been using it for 2 years straight and it ALWAYS works and continues to work. It will make your skin look leathery if you use it for too long but stopping for a a few days is the simple fix, overall I can't ask for a better product because I don't think one exists."

Tazorac (tazarotene) for Acne "Using this product was the best thing I could have ever done for my skin when my doctor prescribe this for me. I didn't have any side effects as long as I used it as the doctor prescribed the only thing was that when I went to get my prescriptions refilled it cost almost $400 and I could not afford it. If I could afford this cream I would use it forever my skin was so beautiful and smooth the color was awesome. The only reason I stopped using this product is because I couldn't afford it any longer. I went back to the doctor and she had to give me a lower version of this cream this time it's not worth my time but to anybody needing to use this product please use it ,it's a good product. Take my advice!!!! You only need to use a small amount at night and it worked great. The cream lasted for at least 6 months"

Fabior (tazarotene) for Acne "I used Fabior foam after years of using Tazorac Cream for cystic acne & scarring. I noticed after using this product for 3 months that my scars looks worse. The scars look deeper and my skin is constantly dry. The foam was just as effective as the cream with controlling my cystic acne I’m going back to using the cream. Just wanted to share my experience in case someone else may be experiencing the same thing. I won’t refill the prescription and wish I’d never switched from the Tazorac cream."

Tazorac (tazarotene) "Started this 11 weeks ago. I am so so sad right now. I have been having horrible hair loss the past couple weeks and couldn't figure out why. Just figured out it is the Tazorac! Read up on the side effect of hair loss. It's really bad. My hair was so healthy and nice. I literally have almost bald areas with sparse hairs over my ears and my front hairline. It feels thin everywhere but I can't see it. Stay away from Tazorac."

For Acne "Last year, I was on accutane for 6 months. It completely cleared my acne for all of summer. Around when college started, I noticed my acne sprung up a bit. I worried of my acne coming back, so I was prescribe tazarotene. The first few weeks of it are ROUGH. My face would burn, flake, and was red. Added on top, my face purged pretty badly. However, around 6 weeks in, the medicine really kicked in. The purge really cleared up and now my face is almost back to how it was coming off accutane. This cream really does test your patience, but it is very much worth it."

Fabior (tazarotene) for Acne "I used this medication for over 9 weeks, and all it did was make my acne worse. I went from having a few spots on my back to having it all over my back, chest, and my face (my face and chest did not have acne before). It was really disappointing, and I do not recommend."

For Acne "I have struggled with acne including Cystic acne since puberty. I am now 50, I still have moderate acne. Deeply embedded around my mouth/chin, blackheads, scars from the cystic acne and always have several pimples. I have used EVERYTHING over the years, prescription and otc treatments. I have spent thousands of dollars for treatments. NOTHING worked until Now! I have been using Fabior for 2 weeks, but already see a difference. No more blackheads at all. My scars and fine lines are faded. I still get pimples, but that's part of the process, pulling them out. They dry up quickly though, into 1 to 2 days. I started out using it every night. It burned, peeling and itching was out of control. I changed my face wash, gentle is the way to go. I also use a moisturizing lotion and have changed to every other day. The peeling and itching are less and my skin less red. Remember to use sunscreen every day and a hat when possible to protect yourself, you are very sensitive to the sun."

For Facial Wrinkles "I love tazorac. I use it for skin rejuvenation not acne but it's cleared blackheads, evened skin tone, Greatly closed pores. I've used tretinoin and that was much harsher on my skin. This has been mildly effective. Meaning no bad side effects. I use 0.05%. One thing, I have combo skin which being in my late 30s, the oil and acne decreased. My acne scars were around mouth from my younger years. Something I'd like to point out is, I notice in some areas on my face it doesn't decrease pores size, particular each side of cheeks near nose. However comparing this to tretinoin this wins by far for me! Now my mother whom has non complicated skin responds excellent to tretinoin so it depends. Cost is outrageous!!! Find coupon."

Tazorac (tazarotene) for Acne "I was a given a very small sample of this, but when compared to another expensive medication for acne, this Tazorac I find to be 3 times more effective. I’ve been able to use the little tube several times and each blemish dies off quickly, almost overnight. There is a little dryness and sometimes peeling, but no more blemish so this works wonderfully. I give it two thumbs up!!! Great job to whomever invented it!"

Arazlo (tazarotene) for Acne "I had a bad breakout that wouldn't clear up for nothing. This particular breakout, I never experienced before. I was prescribed 2% salicylic face wash, Arazlo, spironolactone and purchased some Burt's Bees face moisturizer. Now prior, nothing seemed to keep my breakouts at bay except my Neutrogena microdermabrasion kit but they stopped selling the pads. I used all ingredients daily and took the pills for the whole duration (30 days, no side effects besides frequent urination). You must not lather Arazlo on your face as if it's moisturizer, a thin layer is all that's needed spread out evenly. It will burn your skin if you apply too much. Mine peeled, it's troublesome but a good thing. The T-zone is where I use it most. After about a month in, I was able to stop using the pills. It does help with lines and wrinkles although that's not what I got it for. I'm now using my face wash and Arazlo sparingly. My skin gets oily so this stuff keeps it in check. I have sensitive skin but everyone's different."

Tazorac (tazarotene) for Acne "if i could rate this a 0 I would. I have struggled with acne for 5-6 years now. At the end of October I FINALLY went to a dermatologist. She prescribed Tazorac along with Acticlate. However, Tazorac DOES NOTHING. It is a topical treatment meant to be used at night, it is supposed to help clear acne and scarring. I would use it every night after washing my face. It didn't work...AT ALL. I still get acne and I have been using this stuff for 6 months. I highly DO NOT recommend."

For Acne "I am 22 years old and have struggled with acne since middle school. Most of it is hormonal acne on my chin and jaw line and occasionally on my cheeks too. I tried Epiduo for a long time and all it would do is dry my skin out so bad. I finally went back to my dermatologist and she switched me to tazarotene medication, I use it at night and after just three weeks my acne is completely gone and my skin tone is sooo even. It makes my face so smooth and I can tell it is preventing me from new pimples. It is a little drying at first but nothing like Epiduo was and if you just put a little extra moisturizer on you will be fine."

Tazorac (tazarotene) "I used this Tazorac on my arms for Keratosis pilaris (KP). I didn't see anywhere online about PURGING and yes purging on my arms. I thought my KP was getting worse but the dead skin cells were just coming to the surface and it looked like pimples on my arms. I think it took a month before that all went away. So yes, your arms will purge. There is still some discoloration but there are no bumps so stick with it! I use this still periodically to maintain smooth arms."

Tazorac (tazarotene) for Acne "I’m 28 and have dealt with moderate to severe acne since age 16. I’ve done two rounds of Accutane and was put on Tazorac after other retinoids (adapalene, trentinoin) stopped working for me. I was seriously considering a third round of Accutane two and a half months into treatment with Tazorac when I had by far the worst breakout I’ve had since I started using it. Miraculously, I’m now almost at the 3.5 month mark and have barely had any acne in 2-3 weeks, even after stopping the antibiotics I was also taking. If you’re struggling, stick with it at least until the 3 month mark because you might finally get the results you’ve been looking for! Wishing you all the best of luck"
