Is tazorac a treatment or continuous use cream?

How one uses Tazorac, a strong retinoid that comes in cream and gel, is dependent on how the person reacts to it.  As a Vitamin A derivitive, it should shrink oil glands and pore.  It stimulates collegen and helps fine lines and wrinkles.  It treats acne and psoriasis.  It even helps lift up and remove pre-cancerous lesions.Some people find it to be too drying.  Sensitive folks can turn bright red and get almost a burn from it.Tazorac can be used up to every night and can be used continuously for many years for its maximum benefits.  Your routine of 2 of 3 nights sounds good.  You can try every night, and use the moisturizer every night with the Tazorac, to get the maximum benefit, but if you find this too drying and get irritated then just back off to what you were doing before.

As a great Vitamin A derivative, Tazorac can be used nightly or a few times a week.  Tazorac can be used as a first layer after cleansing nightly, it will help with fine lines, wrinkles, and prevention of sun damage. If you find yourself being too dry, try mixing your Tazorac cream with a moisturizer as your first layer after cleansing. It will help with tightening and minimizing pores as well.

Tazorac is a wonderful topical retinoid and can be used nightly if tolerated. However, if you notice increased redness and irritation with nightly use, you can decrease use to every other night or even just 1-2 times weekly. Even with less frequent use you should notice improvement in your skin.I hope this answer is helpful! Best of luck.

Hello,Tazorac is an amazing retinoid.  You can use for an extended period of time.  I recommend lifetime except if you are pregnant or breast feeding.  You can add a moisturizer in with it as well.  It works great for fine lines and wrinkles.  My recommendation if your skin can tolerate it to use the .1 % Q pm.

Yes, Tazorac is a good cream for the prevention of sun damage, and fine wrinkles. It is a retinoid, as is incorporated in my personal weekly regime. This can be a long term treatment (I personally have been using retinoids on my skin for the past 2 decades). Obviously, with the warns pertaining to pregnancy, lactation and conception you should follow that!Otherwise- use for life. Some patients can tolerate nightly use, I can only use it once a week due to my sensitive skin type. All the bestDr Davin LimLaser and aesthetic dermatologistBrisbane, Australia.
