Tazarotene topical 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."

Tazarotene topical for Acne "I have battled cystic acne my entire life. I have tried every topical medication - both prescription and over the counter - and nothing worked for me. I was always dry, red, flaky, and continued to break out. Arazlo is the only medication that works! It actually cured my acne. Within 4-6 weeks, my acne was completely gone. I now have occasional hormonal breakouts, but my skin has completely changed. This was life-changing!! Best topical medication!"

For Acne "Let me set the scene: Before Arazlo, I had mild to moderate acne, mostly around my mouth, chin, and sides of my face. I would get painful red cysts, and the only thing that seemed to help was Dapsone gel 5%, but my skincare routine set by my dermatologist wasn't preventing my acne as much as desired. After starting Arazlo and slowly incorporating it into my nightly routine (use a pea-sized amount for the entire face every 3-4 nights and build up to every night), I got the results I had been desperately seeking for almost three years. After about three months, my acne scars faded, I didn’t get any more of those pesky cysts, and a pimple in general showed up only around my period. If you notice irritation when starting use, apply a gentle moisturizer first, then the Arazlo - that was some of the best advice I have ever received from a YouTube dermatologist. Most importantly, stick with the nightly routine, and you will get great results. Be patient, folks."

For Acne "This is an actual miracle cream. My skin has never been this clear in my life! I get compliments all the time and don’t ever wear skin makeup anymore except for my under eyes. My acne wasn’t terrible to begin with, I had just gone off birth control, and I had started to get some acne. So after I read online about the cystic acne some people experience after getting off BC, I decided to go to my dermatologist and get something to help before it got too intense. Seriously, can’t recommend this enough. I know everyone’s skin is different, but in my opinion, it’s definitely worth a try."

For Acne "Honestly, probably the best topical for acne. You obviously have to work through all the other topicals first to get your insurance to pay for it. Without insurance, it’s extremely hard to get, but if you’re willing to spend money, it is amazing. It will make your acne worse at first, as all vitamin A derivatives will, but this makes Retin-A seem wimpy! Do not overuse, your skin will literally peel so bad. I recommend using benzoyl peroxide in the morning, as well as salicylic acid in the PM (both as face washes)."

For Acne "I was really excited about trying this since I was wanting something a bit stronger than the tretinoin I had been using, but it quickly backfired. After a few uses, I developed skin blisters on both cheeks. I followed all the directions: used every other day, moisturized BEFORE, let the moisturizer dry for an hour before applying the tazarotene, and I only used a very small pea-sized amount. I guess this is just not meant for my skin. Back to tretinoin I go after these blisters clear up. Please listen to your skin if you notice something off-putting. I didn't at the first sign, and now the blisters are worse after another couple of uses. This is great for many people, but also not so great for others."

Tazarotene topical "I was prescribed this to lighten hyperpigmentation, and after only one use, following instructions to the letter, I had a severe enough reaction that I needed to see a doctor. Severe itching, redness, burning, inflammation, and bumps all over my face. Won't ever touch this stuff again."

For Acne "This medication works differently on people's skin. My experience with this was not a good one. I went to my dermatologist for a totally different reason, and so while I was there, I might as well ask her for any advice on these dark marks I was getting on my forehead, and she prescribed me this lotion. After using it for about a week, my face got even worse than before. My face was peeling, burning, and flaking like crazy. I developed a rash on my cheeks as well. The dark marks were becoming to appear on my cheeks. I have never had problems with my cheeks, it was always just my forehead. I followed all the directions for this medication. Nonetheless, I completely stopped using it after those side effects. I guess my skin is too sensitive for it."

Tazarotene topical for Acne "I've tried a lot of different acne medications, and some have worked for a while and then quit working, Tazorac is no different. When I first started using Tazorac, my face was the clearest it's ever been. Then, about 3 months later, my acne came back worse. Tazorac is the best treatment I've used so far, but in the end, it did not work out for me. :("

Tazarotene topical 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, tretinoin) 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."

For Acne "Went from having large cystic pimples that took more than a month to heal (then a new one would pop up) to having darn near clear skin. Just a small whitehead once or twice in the 3 months I've used it. My skin likes it better than tretinoin and the arazlo brand is easily spread and glides on smoothly. My skin can get a little stingy to other products if I use too much or too often, but heals quickly with a couple days of TLC. Love it."

For Acne "I've been using 0.1% cream for about a month and a half for moderate but stubborn hormonal acne that I've had for over a decade. I've noticed flaking and peeling, but there's been no irritation or pain since the first week. I also haven't seen many results, though my skin will peel, but the acne is still there. I also have perioral dermatitis and was hoping this would help, but again, it sheds skin off of my face every day, but my skin still looks just as bad as before. I'm hoping by month three there will be a noticeable difference and maybe I will up my dosage to a higher percentage if nothing changes next month."

For Acne "Dryness is a huge side effect. I couldn't tolerate the drug for more than 3 days. The itching, burning, dry skin, and rash were NOT worth its supposed benefits. Everyone is different, but I personally would not recommend it. With how painful it is, I'm actually surprised by the higher end rating. Maybe some people can tolerate it better than others."

Tazarotene topical for Acne "BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL! I developed a year's worth of huge and uncontrollable rashes and pimples all over my forearms from use. My dermatologist had written incorrect instructions for application, which led me to get completely obliterated with cystic acne that I am still recovering from today. It was no purge, something absolutely went wrong with the medication. I doubt it was ever meant to be intended for use on the body. The condition that I have been left with changed the last year of my life for the worse. This stuff is extremely potent. Use the smallest amount you can and be very careful. It did clear up my facial acne very well. Ask your derma for the most detailed step-by-step they've ever written in their lives."

Tazarotene topical for Plaque Psoriasis "I just started using Tazorac for my plaque psoriasis and for mild acne on my face. I have heard about people losing hair because of it. I am concerned because I have many areas on my body I'll be using it on for psoriasis. Anyone experiencing balding? Has this worked well for you?"

Tazarotene topical 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."

Tazarotene topical for Acne "Tazorac made my acne worse. Once I stopped using it, my acne got better. It was in use with another topical cream. It’s very expensive."
