Is it ok to use Tazorac gel .05% 3 days on, 4 days off? I seem to have success using Tazorac with this frequency.

Thank you for your question. If you're skin is tolerating this regime, I would continue. The goal is to use it every night. Try to use it every other night and go from there. Make sure to wear SPF 30 with zinc everyday. I hope this helps!

If you are happy using Tazorac your way, there is no problem. You can also do 2/week or 3/week, especially in the first month or so, and as your skin starts getting used to it, increase to weekdays, and weekends off, or eventually just every night.

I agree with everyone else that if this regimen is working for you then continue.  It sounds like your skin is sensitive.  In my experience, patients who have experienced dryness have also used hot water to wash their face with, benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, glycolic acid, or too much medication.  I recommend to patients that they decrease the temperature of the water that they wash their face with and use a mild cleanser.  I also recommend a pea-size amount of the medication (about the size of a kernel of corn) to the entire face.  I recommend that the apply the pea-size amount by dabbing it on the forehead, chin, and cheeks and then spreading it thinly over the entire face.  Applying it every other evening is also helpful.  I hope this helps.
