Could Tazorac/retinoids Weaken Healthy Collagen Production?

December 10, 2012
Asked By:birdland in New York, NY

5 months ago tazorac cracked my forehead (which looks like wrinkles), my checks (which looks like wave light scratches from left to right). I spoke to a tazorac rep who admits tazorac cracks the skin but helps with wrinkles (I don't understand this logic). I have not used tazorac in 5 months and the cracks are still there. What steps should I not take? I also have broken capillaries. Many thanks.
