Treating Acne with Retinoids - Yay or Nay?

TREATMENT FOR ACNE IN CHICO, CA     916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC


Tazorac, an acne medication manufactured by Allergan, is one of the brand names for the compound tazarotene, Tazorac is a vitamin A derivative (retinoid) available at 0.05% or 0.1%  in a cream or gel. Retinoids regulate the growth of skin cells and are effective ingredients in acne products as well as anti-aging products due to their ability to speed up cell-turn-over.


Prescription retinoids can be irritating to the skin, and often set acne sufferers back, due in part to their tendency to over dry and irritate the skin. While certain retinoids can be highly beneficial in treating acne, retinoids alone will not get rid of your acne. The most effective treatment for acne is a combination of active ingredients where the selection is based on your skin type and the state of your acne.
