For Acne "This did not work for me. I used it religiously for 8 weeks, and it only made my acne worse. I woke up every morning with new whiteheads, it gave me larger, more painful pimples than I had before starting this cream."

For Acne "I am 65. Because of thyroid supplements, I started getting very oily with lots of blackheads on my nose, lips, and chin, and a few small pimples. Went to my derm after an 18-year lapse; she prescribed Tazorac; I really wanted Accutane, which I had taken in my 40s, really good stuff, but she insisted that I try Tazorac at 0.1%; I love it. It set my face on fire for about 2 weeks; I used Epionce medical barrier cream to cool it and help with the sting. My face was very red too. After 2 weeks, the burn lessened, and now I can put it on several days in a row without the cream. Been using for 2 months, and my skin is looking fantastic and brighter; I have a few acne scars and they are looking much smaller too. I am getting compliments from family members."

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."

For Acne "This medication actually works! After trying too many topicals to count, Tazorac is definitely the best. For those starting Tazorac reading this review right now, I know how much it sucks in the beginning. The initial breakout can be so horrible-trust me, I've been there. I've cried and not wanted to go out in public, but in the long run-I promise it's worth it. Give it about 3 months to officially work, and you'll be grateful."
