Posted under Tazorac q&a

Can Tazorac be used as a permanent regime and what are the side effects?

tese44
My nightly regimen is PanOxly10% facial wash followed by pea sized amount of Tazorac0.1% spread all over my face. I was recommended this for acne treatment and have been following it religiously since February (8months). Now my skin is fine, no more acne. My question is; can I stay on this routine permanently (forever) or is it only good for a period? If I can stay on it permanently are there side effects like reaching a point of 'diminishing returns'?
