For Acne "I started Tazorac on February 17, 2017. I had bad acne on my cheeks and tiny bumps on my forehead. Four weeks into Tazorac, yes, it did get worse. I didn't want to go to school or even go out with friends and family! So, I went back to my dermo, and he told me to keep my head up and that Tazorac was purging my skin and bringing everything to the surface. Slowly but surely, my face looks amazing! It's May 13, 2017, and I barely have anything on my face, and it's as smooth as a baby's bottom. If you're going through the purging stage, I know what you are going through, but I promise to stick with it and just know that the Tazorac is getting all the gunk out of your skin! Stay positive, drink water, use Tazorac!"

For Acne "I have been on Accutane twice, relapsed within three months both times, and used every prescription cream under the sun. I have had moderate acne since I was 11. This Tazorac saved me from my acne. I considered quitting so many times, but having pushed through now at 7 months, it’s been incredible. The purge was awful, and it took sooooo long to see a difference, but at 6 months, suddenly I stopped waking up to any acne. I saw slow progressions up until that point. Please do give it 6 months, it really works, but it has to get into your skin. Good luck, all."

"I used this Tazorac on my arms for keratosis pilaris (KP). I didn't see anywhere online about purging, and yes, purging on my arms. I thought my KP was getting worse, but the dead skin cells were just coming to the surface, and it looked like pimples on my arms. I think it took a month before that all went away. So yes, your arms will purge. There is still some discoloration, but there are no bumps, so stick with it! I use this still periodically to maintain smooth arms."
