How Do You Properly Use Tazorac gel?

Patients often use Tazorac for acne and it should be applied all over the face. If the skin gets dry, you may consider using Elevase Moisture Booster with opti-ceramides to control the dryness. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

In my experience, I recommend that patients apply a very thin moisturizer to their face followed by a pea-size amount (same size as a kernel of corn) of the Tazorac gel to the entire face.  I advise patients to take the pea-size amount and to dab it evenly onto the forehead, chin, and cheeks and then to spread it very thinly over the entire face.  If the Tazorac is too drying then start applying it every other night or every 3rd night and then gradually work your way up to every evening.  I recommend that patients use cooler water when washing their face with a mild cleanser twice daily.  It may help fade the red/brown discoloration and the skin texture. Give the medication at least 4-6 weeks before you may notice a difference.

Start slowly then gradually work up. Its not a race but a marathon for life. All retinoids will cause skin irritation, so be careful. Video goes in depth explaining how to use. All the best, Dr Davin S. Lim. Brisbane. Australia.
