| 5 | acne | Dry skin, but that can be controlled by daily exfoliation, and putting vaseline on top of the tazorac cream at night. I wait about 10 minutes or so after applying tazorac. | Also taking Diane 35, and sulfatrim (antibiotic). My skin is glowing. No new acne since about month 4, and I was on accutane before this drug combination, so I did have very bad acne. Also seeing naturopath for same amount of time and have been avoiding dairy products, so my success may be a combination of these factors. My skin justs keep looking better and better! | F | 24 | 6 months | 8/12/2005 | 2 | medium acne.. | pinkness in skin, dry, peelings, tight, kinda stingy | I mean I have only used it twice and it is making me peel, thankgod its summer or i would be so embarrassed at school, but i am praying it will work, my doc told me it gets worse before it begins to get better, it takes 4 weeks, so for all you hopeless people using it for a couple weeks give it time..but when you first start it, use it every other night..and PLEASE wait 20 min after washing face...OR your skin gets irritated..trust me..hah..anyways but i am hopeful it will help me..plus my skin is very smooth..so thats a pro..hah.but i dunno good luck everyone else!! | F | 16 | 2 days | 7/6/2005 | 2 | no skin problem,get fresher looking | Burning, red lesions around the mouth psoriasis style with redness and bleeding with the .5% Tazorac. Got new acne on my chicks which I never had before in my life. Stop after 3 days started heavy peeled and recovery for 5 days. Got better then tried the.1% less irritation but acne and redness with peeling skin looks strained and puffy. Had to stop after 2 days. | I have use other products in the Retin A family with much better result and less side affects. Remember I stated with no obvious skin problem, all I wanted was to improve the quality and texture. | F | 39 | 2 weeks | 5/29/2005 | 2 | no skin problem,get fresher looking | Burning, red lesions around the mouth psoriasis style with redness and bleeding with the .5% Tazorac.

Now, it's a minor problem only in the dry winter months. I use a moisterizer several times a day and it works. I don't have flaking anymore. My skin looks so much better than it did before I started. I've gotten compliments at work. I've been using it for six months. | M | 38 | 6 months | 4/26/2005 | 2 | adult acne | flaking, peeling, tight skin | It was prescribed for little, tiny under the skin pimples, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything for me but making me all flaky. | F | 30 | 3 days | 2/23/2005 | 3 | moderate acne | Tazorac made my skin really oily. It peeled off my top layer of skin leaving it red. | It's hard to stick with Tazorac when you have a busy, social schedule. I am a full time college student so of course, I don't get a lot of alone time. I put tazorac on at night but my results don't seem to be any better in the morning. I have hope though. I went off it for a while but after reading other peoples' reviews I'm going to stick with it and try again :) | F | 20 | | 2/19/2005 | 3 | mild adult acne/skin discoloration | redness, burning, itching and flaky skin in addition to sensitivity to the wind | putting this on every night for a couple of days and am already experiencing all of these symptoms. I'm going to keep at it for a few more days because I have not had one breakout since using it. | F | 41 | 4 days | 2/12/2005 | 5 | ance | some redness | Worked for me, I just had to stick with it, and my improvements were actually in step with the images produced in the brochure. It is now lightening dark spots. | F | 22 | 2 months | 2/10/2005 | 2 | acne | skin peeling, reddening of the skin, itching, excessive burning, skin discoloration (my face is now shades darker than my neck), | At first I thought I could notice a change but now it seems I look worse than when I first started. My complexion is darker and my skin feels rough. I think I will be trying Accutane because I don't think this is going to work. | F | 28 | 3 weeks | 2/3/2005 | 4 | acne | skin got very dry when I started using it. important to start off using it for a short period of time every other night and working your way up to using it all night every night. | I think this product has been the best I have tried. Have used many other prescriptions and Proactiv. This product made my pores appear alot smaller and helped fade scars. Still get some pimples but much better | F | 25 | 6 months | 1/30/2005 | 1 | Acne | I started taking this, and at first I thought it was great. But then one day my face cracked. And now I am ugly again! | F | 16 | | 1/25/2005 | 4 | acne | Redness, peeling | I've found this cream to work very well for my adult acne. I still have breakouts but the cream takes care of them in a flash. I no longer have to worry about scarring from the acne. I've found it has helped with wrinkles too. An added bonus, in my opinion. | F | 35 | 15 days | 1/7/2005 | 2 | mild/moderate acne | Very painful,burning skin. Extremely sensitive to touch. Skin became red and inflamed. | Acne seemed to get worse and both moisturizers used seemed to clash with the medicine and enhance the breakouts. | M | 13 | 15 days | 1/4/2005 | 3 | acne | irritation of skin | not sure it's working | M | 15 | 1 times | 12/26/2004 | 1 | becuase i need it | red peeling ,uneven colored skin!! | it didnt work for me :-( | F | 16 | 2 weeks | 11/11/2004 | 5 | acne | None -- except the cost. The next step was Accutane, but we worried about the possibilities of serious side effects of Accutane. | M | 21 | | 7/9/2004 |
