"i am 65, becauses of thyroid supplements, i started getting very oily with lots of blackheads on my nose, lips, &amp; chin &amp; a few small pimples.  went to my derm after an 18 year lapse; she prescribed tazorac; i really wanted accutane which i had taken in my 40&#039;s, really good stuff, but she insisted that i try tazorac at .1%; i love it.  it set my face on fire for about 2 weeks, i used epionce medical barrier cream to cool it. &amp; help with the sting.  my face was very red too.  after 2 weeks, the burn lessen and now i can put it on several days in a row without the cream.  been using for 2 mos &amp; my skin is looking fantastic &amp; brighter, i have a few acne scars and they are looking much smaller too.  i am getting complements from family members."
