Can i use tazorac while i am placed again under accutane? I worry that the benefit of tazorac will be halted for 6 months.

Question

my skin is very resilient and i use the .1 every night with out peeling.. my issues are large pores and preventative wrinkles.. with some previous shallow scars. My doctor placed me on this to help with the texture of my skin and it helps a lot .. I'm worried if i stop that my skin texture will suffer.

When you start Accutane, you will notice that your skin is extremely dry and sensitive. Using Tazorac while on Accutane will only accentuate these undesirable symptoms. In addition, the Tazorac is not really necessary since Accutane has similar effects to Tazorac, but is just more powerful and exerting it's effects on a systemic level.I hope this answer is helpful! Best of luck.
