"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."

"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."

"Most amazing medication ever for acne - it feels like it's renewing skin while you sleep and helps to clear up skin immediately - highly recommend!"

"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."
