Since I was at the age of 13 I’ve had cystic acne. I got both hormonal cysts on my jawline and a different type of acne on my cheeks. I’ve tried several topical medications in my teenage years and oral antibiotics. When I touched at my early 20’s I was good at concealing my blemishes with beauty makeup products. However, I heard about this amazing Tazarotene gel. I ordered and started using it. After six months, I had experienced nearly all the side effects that were possible with this gel. I was miserable, but then I observed my skin had cleared up and there were no blemishes. After a year, they came back, but not nearly as bad. About 5 years later, I broke out extremely badly. It was the worst breakout I had ever experienced. My dermatologist was very helpful; he provided the collection of samples of tretinoin creams building up in strength. He gave me clear instructions about how to start with the weakest and use for 2 weeks before moving to the next strongest. My final prescription was to be the Tazorac cream at 0.05%. It took a couple of months, but I had clear skin once more. I used it for many years until I couldn’t afford to buy another tube.
