User Reviews for Tazorac topical

My Dermatologist prescribed for pigmentation problem areas on my face. Previous medical professionals had diagnosed as sun damage and i went through 3 years of laser treatments and at least 10-12 different whitening, retinol, Obagi, products at a cost of several thousand dollars. i saw no improvement with the laser treatments or the products. i have been using this prescription for about 10 days now and i am amazed at the difference and improvement. My damage is 70% gone and I expect within another two weeks maximum my skin will be clear for the first time in 15 years. I highly recommend the product for pigmentation issues. I do not have acne so I have no report on this. I have referred my best friend and my mother to this product and they are using it with great results as well.Read More Read Less

my dermatologist put me on this. it took a few months, but i can't believe the difference in my hyper pigmentation. its very faded, lighter than its been in years. the only downside is having to wait after moisturizing to apply. no negative reactions on my face. wish i could use indefinitely but i think it is not recommended.

Too strong for me. If you follow the usage instructions and your skin is tingling and a little itchy that's okay, but if it is burning, red, peeling and tight like a bad sunburn discontinue use. If you do experience burning, soak a wash cloth in 1 part cold milk and 1 part cold water and use as a compress and only wash with warm water and a mild cleanser, nothing else until you're back to normal. It's probably going to take a whole week to undue the damage caused by just two nights of application. Read More Read Less

Had very mild but persistent acne. Used Tazorac for 13 weeks, resulting in severe, cystic acne. Never had cystic acne before, maybe just a coincidence. This was 3 years ago and I still have to be on an antibiotic to keep skin clear. Wished I'd never heard of Tazorac.

This medication has truly change my life for the better, I wish I could post photos of my face before and after. what a huge difference. My doctor also has me using Acanya as well

skin is slightly smoother, but has not reduced skin discolorization. However, not using it daily.

I am 44 year old female, and I have Acne that is associated with hormonal changes that is mostly on the lower part of my face and under my neck. I had a terrible breakout this summer and this is the only medication that seem to be working. My skin is no longer rough and the whitehead and cystic acne is getting less after each use, I am also taking minocycline 100mg orally and using prascion cleanser. I saw results after the first week my skin is much softer and the no more cystic acne, the whiteheads are taking a longer time to go away. The tazorac cream is better because it does not cause a lot of drying like the gel from what I have read. I only experienced sensitivity in the first week. I like the results so far.Read More Read Less

I have been using Tazorac for 8 months for purely cosmetic reasons, I have been reading the reviews to see if anyone has the same side effects I do. I finally found one, which is chapped lips and of course I do not apply it there, The other side effect is soreness INSIDE my mouth below the lower lip,with a small groove in the skin. This produet works so beautifully I will not stop using. I know, pathetic,but I would like to know if anyone has had soreness inside the mouth. Read More Read Less

I was given this to treat a wart on my foot.I alternate it with another medication. Lots of peeling of my skin but I think wart is too deep for this.

I have facial melasma/hyperpigmentation. After using Tazorac on my nose and upper lip for about 6 weeks my skin is 90% clearer. Also applied some on inner rim of my chicken pox scars and most have shrunk by 60%, some are almost gone completely. I applied Tazorac with a lip brush which I then cut to a fine point.

I have been using Tazorac for about 2 years now due to the systic acne that I get on my cheeks. It has worked wonders for my skin. I get compliments on my face on a regular basis. The only side effect that I have experienced is a peeling of my skin on a daily basis. I have to thoroughly wash my face before applying my makeup to get rid of the peeling skin. Also, my doctor refrained from telling me that women using this medication need to stop using it ONE year prior to having children because it can cause some serious birth defects. It will take a year for your body to completely rid itself of all traces of the medication. Read More Read Less

Took a LONG time to do anything, then finally started to work a little, but not much that people could notice any difference. DIDN'T WORK FOR ME!!!!! :(

I'm an african american light skin adult female. My dermatologist prescribe this medication because I had white heads under the skin. He said the medication would cause my skin to exfoliate and that way the white heads would come out. I had negative results. It burned my skin to the point where it hurt for water to touch my skin and it was also painful to use a wash cloth to wash my face. Use with caution.

I was basically using it to control my extremely oily skin and occasional breakouts - it's all the time, all seasons. I was on Retin-A for almost 2 years before recently switching. Taz (so far) has been the best. It's only been a few weeks but I already notice a difference. Knock on wood, I haven't had the "purging" yet (bad outbreak before it gets better) - but I've also been using the clarisonic for about 5 months so maybe my pores were cleaned out. Also, I use Benzaclin in the morning, so hopefully any bacteria that is being brought to the surface is being killed by the benzaclin. Anyway, after washing it off the very first morning, I noticed my skin actually felt softer. That was nice. One weird side effect - I've been rubbing it on every night, everywhere EXCEPT my upper lip. My upper lip is the only spot that's peeling?? That seemed strange to me, otherwise, no side effects. At night, I wash (using the clarisonic and mario badescu glycolic cleanser), use a moisturizer and let that sink in for like an hour, then I use the tazorac before bed. In the morning, wash with the clarisonic and cleanser and use benzaclin, then moisturizer and makeup. Again, no complaints so far. Hope this helps!Read More Read Less

I had a rash between my legs for years the Doctor said it was Psoriasis after 2 week the rash was totally gone

Well, I just started this medication about 4 days ago, it's still early so of course I see no difference hardly. I'm taking this medication along with another topical medication and also I use a benozyl peroxide wash 2x daily. Tazorac really burns, badly, it feels like a bad bad sunburn, but beauty is painful right? Anyways, I think this will work, so I'm looking forward to the results!!

face and around eyes burn, nose peeling,itching. burning all over face and forhead. Any cream I put on it makes it burn more. eyes swollen

Skin seems refined, blemishes look clearer.
