Tazarotene topical for Acne "Tazorac completely changed my life when it came to my acne issues. I didn't get acne until my early 20s, and by the time I went to the dermatologist, it was completely out of control. I felt so hopeless, like nothing could be done to combat my skin issues. I was started on Benzaclin and Tazorac, and the combination completely improved my skin. Best of all, the Tazorac helps prevent scars and dark marks. Now I just turned 30, and the Tazorac is even helping with fine lines. Thank you, Tazorac <3."

Tazarotene topical 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, Wednesday, and Friday, and I use CeraVe moisturizer with it, which I think helps. If I am breaking out (which is rare now), I may use it two days in a 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 of months, but maybe because I only use it a few times a week. ONLY USE A SMALL AMOUNT-seriously! Don’t irritate your skin with too much, and plus it lasts longer that way!!"

Tazarotene topical for Acne "I am really impressed. I just started 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 stopped working, and my skin really was oily."

Tazarotene topical 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!"

Tazarotene topical for Acne "This was awful. My skin would peel so badly and got to the point where my skin started 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."

Tazarotene topical "I’ve been using Tazorac for keratosis pilaris for years, commonly known as “chicken skin.” It 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 three times a week."

Tazarotene topical 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. My face has never looked this good before. I am very pleased with this product and would recommend that you at least try it, you won't be disappointed."

Tazarotene topical for Acne "This might work for some people, but I did not have a good experience with this topical. I was told to mix a pea-sized amount with a heavy moisturizer and spread it all over my skin. Initially, this was okay, but then my body broke out into a small bumpy, irritated-looking rash almost a week in. I immediately went to the doctor, who told me that I had a mild case of eczema due to how aggressive this cream is and how sensitive my skin is. She recommended discontinuing it until my skin improved and then only using this once a week until my skin 'acclimated.' Well, kids, the rash went away, but my skin never adjusted to even weekly use. This would make my skin dry, red, stretched, and irritated. Consequently, my acne did not improve at all. In fact, I think it may have exacerbated the problem."

Tazarotene topical 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 it's super itchy, raw, and red, I use Benadryl 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."

Tazarotene topical for Acne "I've had moderate to almost severe acne for at least four 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."

Tazarotene topical 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."

Tazarotene topical for Acne "Have been on for 9 weeks! So amazed by my results, I am shocked, and I hardly break out 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."

Tazarotene topical for Acne "I used Fabior foam after years of using Tazorac cream for cystic acne and scarring. I noticed after using this product for 3 months that my scars look 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."

Tazarotene topical 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."

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 about my acne coming back, so I was prescribed 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."

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 on treatments. Nothing worked until now! I have been using Fabior for 2 weeks, but I 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, in 1 to 2 days. I started out using it every night. It burned, peeling and itching were 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 is less red. Remember to use sunscreen every day and a hat when possible to protect yourself, you are very sensitive to the sun."

Tazarotene topical for Acne "Using this product was the best thing I could have ever done for my skin when my doctor prescribed 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."

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 few days is the simple fix. Overall, I can't ask for a better product because I don't think one exists."

Tazarotene topical for Acne "I used this to help with my acne that would not go away. This helped pretty well in clearing it up, but my doctor prescribed Accutane anyways. After treatment, my doctor had me on this medication again as a “preventative measure”. The first time I got back on it, I forgot that my skin was not used to it anymore, so it got painful, dry, and flaky for a week. When you use this, really use a small amount in the beginning and mix it in your hand with a moisturizer, or you will not have a good experience. Anyways, I avoided using it for a couple of days to help my skin recuperate, and my acne began showing up here and there. Right now, I use a very small amount of Arazlo every night, and it keeps my skin clear. Really just be careful with how much you apply and be aware that you might have to push through purging (personally, I didn’t)."

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 my 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 pore size, particularly each side of my cheeks near my nose. However, comparing this to tretinoin, this wins by far for me! Now, my mother, who has non-complicated skin, responds excellently to tretinoin, so it depends. Cost is outrageous!!! Find coupon."

Tazarotene topical "My fine lines are gone. My skin is way softer, and my pigment is almost completely gone in only 9 weeks after starting this. I only use it 2 times a week. I had no crazy peeling like when I tried on Tretinoin."

Tazarotene topical "Started this 11 weeks ago. I am so, so sad right now. I have been having horrible hair loss the past couple of 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 "I am 22 years old and have struggled with acne since middle school. Most of it is hormonal acne on my chin and jawline 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 so 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."

Tazarotene topical "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."

Tazarotene topical for Acne "I was given a very small sample of this, but when compared to another expensive medication for acne, this Tazorac I find to be three 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!"
