It is incredibly strong. The instructions say to use it everyday and if i did that i would have burned my face off. I got it for acne. Started once a week...to twice then to every 3 days. Never was able to use it more than that. Acne is cleared for now. It is incredibly drying.

[@ArsalanAspires]

Yes, it can be very drying indeed.

Did you purge at all with it?

[@brittneydarling4277]

@@darcey6392 I don't remember much of a purge but constant peeling

@@brittneydarling4277 hi - I have been using it kind of on and off for over TWO YEARS now, and STILL haven't been able to incorporate it perfectly into my routine because it is SO. DRYING. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Sometimes it makes my skin look absolutely gorgeous, other times I am a sad flaky lizard. do you have any tips??

It’s better than retin A! I am using only .05 right now but I’m going to be getting one percent soon, I have to find a new doctor because my current one won’t prescribe more than .05 so I will be switching doctors!

[@sj5131]

Can you please be a little more specific,as in what problem did you find it more effective than tretinion? Thanks

[@sbaby-fc3ki]

@@sj5131 i am seeing the anti aging effects to be better. My skin is so much more vibrant now and I am not having very much side effects with it as I did with retin a.

Hi Dr. Arsalan, I was just prescribed this by my dermatologist today, does this help with hyperpigmentation and dark spots and does it help with cell turnover as well? Love your video, it was very informative

[@ArsalanAspires]

Hey thank you for your question! Yes, it has been shown effective in post inflammatory hyperpigmentation and has been seen to help with cell turnover as well. Wishing the best success for you! :)

Thank you for talking about this! It’s hard finding detailed information about tazarotene compared to tretinoin. Just started taz 0.1% cream and have been using tretinoin for over a year. Taz is definitely not irritating compared to tretinoin. Idk if it’s because taz is a 3rd generation retinoid compared to tret which is a 1st generation retinoid? I’ve also had people tell me that taz is less irritating but it can sneak up on you if you overuse it in the beginning since it shows little to no irritation on the skin. How true is that? Can you possibly do a video comparing 1st and 3rd gen retinoids and how they differ?

[@ArsalanAspires]

Thanks for your question. That is a great video idea. Might be considering it if I get more questions on it. But generally Yes! But more specifically because tretinoin has a high affinity for all 3 retinoic acid receptor subtypes. This is why it can be more irritating. Also, Taz has to become hydrolyzed into tazarotenic acid before it reaches the retinoic acid receptors. Making it a little more tolerable.

Hello doctor, Can tazarotene cream is good for fordyce spots on lips?

[@CreepyRecordings]

I used tazarotene gel 0.1% for 4 months daily no issues. Then my skin suddenly couldn’t tolerate it anymore which is weird :/ I’m back to tretinoin cuz it feels gentler but I wanna pump back up to taz any suggestions?

[@InkerStar]

Apparently Tazarotene can sneak up like that. You could go months without any side effects and then the side effects show up later. Some say to just continue with it but moisturize more.

[@Deepu_Mystical1176]

May be u can use sandwich method

Thanks good video great information 🙏🙏🙏💜

[@dennisguilder1]

Hey doctor, do you think Tazarotene gel 0.1% would be good for facial keratosis Pilaris rubra? Could it completely unclog all the Kp on face since it is so powerful and used for plaque psoriasis? I also seen a study on KPRF about topical sirolimus 1% cream, but I also hear a 2% cream exists also. Is Aklief stronger than Tazarotene since it’s the newest on the market? Please reply kprf is a Devastating diagnosis!!

[@Hannahwhite00]

Hello I was wondering if any of these products I use interact with Tazarotene. Here’s my routine in order (at night I don’t put sunscreen on): Makeup remover: Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm Face wash: sodium sulfacetamide 10% sulfur 5% cleanser Antibacterial facial spray: SkinSmart Facial Cleanser for Acne with lonized water (99.918%), Sodium chloride (0.06%), Hypochlorous acid (0.018%) and Hypochlorite ion (0.004%) Moisturizer: Malezia 5% Urea Sunscreen: Tizo 2 Facial Primer Mineral Sunscreen SPF 40 Non-Tinted

[@anumbunum]

I’ve been using the taz cream 0.05 but now my insurance doesn’t cover it and only covers the gel form, is there much of a difference between cream and gel? Have heard gel can be irritating

[@marciamapisa2002]

Thanks for the videos Dr❤. Does this form of retiniod assist with Melasma? compared to Tretinoin?

[@ArsalanAspires]

Per the study provided, Tazarotene 0.1% cream worked better than tretinoin 0.05% emollient cream in the treatment of facial photodamage. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15203997/
