For Acne "HOLY COW! OK, I’ve tried everything, and my doctor randomly prescribed this nightly, and I honestly didn’t think it would work. For some reason, this did the trick, and ever since I started nightly, it’s been getting progressively better, and my skin is clearer than it’s ever been in my life. I love it, I got some dryness, but less is more with the gel. I didn’t have any “purging” either. If you’re using this, keep at it!! You will see results."

For Acne "I am really impressed. I just started using Tazorac 0.05, but definitely can see an improvement. It does purge your skin, and it is drying at first, but the pimples go away fast, and my skin texture looks more even and firm. Hopefully, in 3 months, I will be acne-free. I was on Epiduo, but it stopped working, and my skin really was oily."

For Acne "I was given a very small sample of this, but when compared to another expensive medication for acne, this Tazorac I find to be three times more effective. I’ve been able to use the little tube several times, and each blemish dies off quickly, almost overnight. There is a little dryness and sometimes peeling, but no more blemish, so this works wonderfully. I give it two thumbs up! Great job to whomever invented it!"
