"I’ve been using .1% cream for about a month & a half for moderate but stubborn hormonal acne that I’ve had for over a decade. I’ve noticed flaking & peeling but there’s been no irritation or pain since the first week. I also haven’t seen many results though, my skin will peel but the acne is still there. I also have perioral dermatitis and was hoping this would help but again, it sheds skin off of my face every day but my skin still looks just as bad as before. I’m hoping by month three there will be a noticeable difference and maybe I will up my dosage to a higher % if nothing changes next month."

"Dryness is a huge side effect, I couldn't tolerate the drug for more than 3 days the itching, burning, dry skin, & rash were NOT worth it's supposed benefits, everyone is different but I personally would not recommend it, with how painful it is i'm actually surprised by the higher end rating, maybe some people can tolerate it better than others."

Fabior (tazarotene) "BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL! I developed a years worth of huge & uncontrollable rashes and pimples all over my forearms from use. My dermatologist had wrote incorrect instructions for application which led me to get completely obliterated with cystic acne that I am still recovering from today. It was no purge, something absolutely went wrong with the medication. I doubt it was ever meant to be intended for use on the body. The condition that I have been left with changed the last year of my life for the worse. This stuff is extremely potent. Use the smallest amount you can and be very careful. It did clear up my facial acne very well. Ask your derma for the most detailed step by step they've ever written in their lives."

Arazlo (tazarotene) "I have battled cystic acne my entire life. I have tried every topical medication - both prescription and over the counter - and nothing worked for me. I was always dry, red, flaky, and continued to break out. Arazlo is the only medication that works! It actually cured my acne. Within 4-6 weeks, my acne was completely gone. I now have occasional hormonal breakouts, but my skin has completely changed. This was life-changing!! Best topical medication!"
