Tazorac Description
Overview
Tazorac is the brand name for tazarotene, a topical retinoid used on the skin to treat acne and plaque psoriasis. In Australia it is approved by the TGA and available only with a prescription from a doctor or dermatologist. Licenced online pharmacies can supply it after your script is verified. Forms commonly available are 0.05% cream and 0.1% gel. Applications are usually once daily in the evening, and most people notice a change after several weeks.
How it works
Tazarotene speeds up skin cell turnover and reduces inflammation. This helps prevent clogged pores and can slow the growth of psoriasis plaques. It may also help flatten and soften raised lesions. The skin often becomes more sensitive to sunlight during treatment, so daily sunscreen is important. Avoid applying near the eyes, lips, or broken skin.
Using Tazorac in Australia
Follow your clinician’s directions. Start with a small amount to test tolerance. Apply a pea‑sized dab to the affected areas once a day at night. If dryness occurs, you may use a bland moisturiser after the product has dried. Do not mix with harsh cleansers or other strong actives like benzoyl peroxide at the same time without doctor advice. After 6 to 12 weeks you may see clearer skin, though some people need longer. If your psoriasis or acne is extensive, more frequent monitoring by your GP or dermatologist is advised. Online pharmacies in Australia will verify your prescription before dispatch.
User review
A typical Australian online pharmacy customer shared this experience: I started with 0.05% cream on my cheeks and chin. The first week brought mild redness and peeling, which eased after a few days. By eight weeks, my skin looked smoother and fewer pimples formed. Sunscreen every morning is a must with this product. Delivery from the online pharmacy was smooth and the price was reasonable for a prescription medicine. I felt the effort was worthwhile for clearer skin and less irritation when I wore makeup.
Side effects and safety
Common effects are redness, dryness, peeling and a stinging sensation. These usually improve with moisturiser and by easing the application frequency. Photosensitivity is possible, so use SPF 30+ sunscreen daily. Avoid waxes and aggressive exfoliants at the same time. Stop and seek medical advice if you develop severe burning, blistering, or swelling. It is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding; use effective contraception as advised by your clinician.
Storage and availability
Store at room temperature away from heat and moisture. Keep the product in its original packaging and out of reach of children. Check the expiry date on the box. In Australia, a valid prescription is required for dispatch from an online pharmacy. Purchase from a licensed pharmacy and keep your prescription handy for future renewals. This helps ensure the product you receive is safe and properly labelled.
