Here is a collection of user reviews for the medication Tazorac sorted by most helpful. ![]()

I have been using Tazorac for the past 5 years and nothing else works as well for me as Tazorac. I have cystic acne and have tried everything under the sun- prescription and OTC- and this is the only topical medication that really works for me in reducing and preventing the cystic acne. It comes in a cream and gel formula. I like the cream better because the gel is too drying and made my skin flake-up even though I have oily skin. And one tube lasts a long time, so, for me, it is worth the money. Published: March 31, 2008 ::
I continued using tazorac on my face for about 4 months, and all it did was make my acne much, much worse. I started getting acne all over my face in places where I hadn't even had zits before. I've been on all kinds of acne medications, and this one was by far the worst. Published: October 04, 2007 ::

I have been using this medication for scaly dry skin and the result has been great. Only a small amount goes a long way. The result is very similar to that of the retin a from prior years. Published: December 11, 2007 ::

Tazorac has been very effective for me in reducing my adult/hormonal/cystic acne...it has also radically reduced my fine lines around my mouth,eyes and on my forehead. My skintone is now even...no more blotchyness. The only drawback I experienced was the time my skin took to acclimate to Tazorac, about 6 weeks, before the redness,peeling & hyperactivity of blemishes subsided. This may be because I use the 1.0% Gel formula..which my Dermo prescribed because of my hyper-oily skin. My skin is a thousand times better than when I was using Retin-A Micro...only occasional breakouts that occur when I don't use it for two or three days. I have learned that in order to keep my skin clear & under control I must use Tazorac EVERY night. Published: February 27, 2009 ::
I've been using this 1 1/2 weeks for plaque psoriasis. I started seeing results in 2 days. The surrounding affected areas have turned bright red but I'm sure this is due to it removing the affected skin. the affected areas itched very bad after taking a shower & the cream was applied. It itches less each day. If the redness doesn't start disappearing in a couple of weeks I will discuss it further with the doctor. Skin is finally almost smooth and I was finally able to shave my whole leg without tearing off quite a bit of the psoriasis and skin. Published: November 03, 2008 ::
I have been using Tazorac for abut two months andhave seen little change, besides dryness of the skin. But overall this has worked better than some other medications i have been on in the past. I guess just give it time and see. Published: March 12, 2008 ::

I have been using this for a years and I no longer have acne. It takes a while to get used to it, very sensitive etc. However in the end it is amazing. It can be a little drying, just use a good lotion. Published: October 29, 2007 ::
