For Acne "I was using the 0.10% strength, which helped greatly with clogged pores, blackheads, small pustules. However, I also had cystic hormonal acne, which the cream wasn't effective enough for. I took this in conjunction with spironolactone, but eventually had to take Accutane. Downside of this drug: sun sensitivity, skin peeling, redness. For the record, it takes weeks to see results, and your acne gets worse before it gets better."

For Psoriasis "I apply it all over my face after washing and patting dry. I keep it on overnight, don't wash it off, and keep it on until the next night I shower. I do this three days in a row, and then I do this routine every other day for about 2 months. This clears up my dermatitis for 2-3 months, at which point, I start my routine all over. Winter months are a battle with the irritation, peeling, and redness, but that's when I have to be most aggressive with treatment. When my skin gets to the point where it's super itchy, raw, and red, I use Benadryl lotion, and it works like a charm. I love this product. My skin looks fantastic. Not only is it really great at clearing up my skin, it's also great at diminishing fine lines."

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!"
