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!"

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."

For Acne "I love this stuff. Only been using for a few weeks and already getting good results. Acne marks are fading, pimples shrinking. It definitely does dry my face out, but if you exfoliate and moisturize, you'll be fine."
