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."

"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 "I've been using Tazorac since March 2012. My dermatologist put me on Aczone to use in the morning, and Tazorac in the evening. There were some burning and itching in the beginning, but it went away. During my office visits, I receive chemical peels also. Over a month, I've noticed the dark spots have lightened up and my skin is evened out. Now I'm getting my face back."
