Been on it since January, best decision ever. I purged like hella on the first month and early of the second month after that it started to get better. My coloring got better my pores significantly got less visible, my acne scars got much better, acne as well.:feelsautistic::feelsautistic::feelsautistic:

Yeah it was 0.5 but tret takes 6months to a year for results pretty sure
brutal that it takes so long, tazarotene is more selective on the retinoic acid beta and gamma receptors but 0.5% mogs my 0.05% taz hard lolll

did you do anything else or just tret?

what did you take it for? did you have acne? was it just further texture refinement?
I did not have acne when I started using it, was just for texture refinement and post acne scars. Now I have slight acne (due to hormones) and taz doesn’t help it much so hopped on iso again.

Okay, I'm really going kind of heavy topical wise atm , AHA, BHA (minimized now since skin will be more sensitive from the taz), now Taz, heavy moisturizing sunscreen et
If u want to start taz Imo start tret first 0.025 then 0.5 and so on the time frame between each upgrad around 3 months should be good imo cuz thats when the peeling and stuff gets almost non existent and ur skin is getting used to it,defo us spf and moisturiser

ive noticed huge improvements with tret, you just need consistency and a good routine, use sunscreen daily and moisturize frequently, i also use niacinamide

I've been on Tazarotene since March, and my skin has improved. I still have acne, but the texture of my skin is much better.

I had little wrinkles like an oldcel lol
