Has anyone been using it for at least 3 months? What was your experience with it?

I have for half a year. Noticed faster results than my usual use with tret 0.05 (i used that for a year)

Did it improve collagen too? Did you have any scars or PIE that it got rid off too?

yeah it got rid of some that was left over from tret... Idk if the reason why it went away faster is because the concentration is higher (taz was 0.1 rather than 0.05 from tret) i'll say it did cause my skin too be more sensitive... i had to actually take a break from using benzoyl perox in am and taz in pm because it was too much for my skin compared to using perox am and tret pm

do u think starting with 0.1% taz is too high?

i couldnt find a less strong creme

uh i couldn't either i only really found 0.1 taz... But I don't really think so because while it did irritate me when i used it in combo with perox in the morning and taz at night. When I stopped the perox use the irritation went away

Just start with less frequency. 3x a week then work you way up as usual

I started with 0.1 as I couldn’t find anything less. It’s only been 6 weeks, I started off with twice a week and built it up to more often. I tried using every other day but my skin got too irritated.

So far it’s cleared all my hyperpigmentation along with the majority of my PIE. Now just waiting for it to improve my collagen more and fade acne scars

@BrutalMogger @dbva

been only using for abt a month now, my pimples and cysts were nearly gone in a few days, but my skin was literally peeling off in the mornings cuz i sleep on my stomach, right now i have a small amount of pimples to deal with and just red spots

i apply 10% benzoyl peroxide at night, wait 5 mins, wash it off and then i apply 0.1% taz on my pimples, in the mornings i wash it off with a salicylic acid cleanser and moisturize
