Tazret Cream contains Tazarotene 0.1%, a next-generation professional retinoid and one of the most advanced topical treatments for acne, psoriasis, and sun-damaged skin. Unlike traditional retinoids such as tretinoin, tazarotene is a receptor-selective retinoid — meaning it targets specific receptors in the skin with greater precision for potent results.
Tazarotene is a well-studied retinoid used to help improve the appearance of fine wrinkles, uneven tone, and age spots. It is the only retinoid approved for all three of these uses, making it one of the most versatile professional-strength topical agents in dermatology.
For Acne: Normalizes the way pore-lining cells shed, preventing clogged pores. Clears existing blackheads and whiteheads, reduces redness of active breakouts, and produces faster acne clearing than several other retinoid formulations.
For Psoriasis: Slows excessive skin cell reproduction that creates thick, scaly plaques. Reduces plaque thickness, scaling, and redness for stable plaque psoriasis.
For Sun Damage: Stimulates collagen production, accelerates cell turnover, and promotes replacement of sun-damaged cells. Reduces fine wrinkles, evens out mottled pigmentation, and restores smoother texture.

For Acne: Cleanse in the evening. Apply a thin layer to the acne-affected area. Start every other night, increase to nightly. Follow with a non-clogging moisturizer.
For Psoriasis: Apply a thin film to plaques only, once daily in the evening. Do not apply to unaffected skin.
For Sun Damage: Apply a pea-sized amount to the face once daily in the evening. Start every other night, increase as tolerated.
Sun Protection: Always apply broad-spectrum SPF 30+ every morning. Tazarotene significantly increases sun sensitivity.

Q: Is Tazarotene stronger than Tretinoin?
A: Generally considered more potent per unit concentration due to its receptor-selective design. Your dermatologist can advise which retinoid is best for your needs.
Q: Can I use Tazret for body acne?
A: Yes. Apply to acne on the back, chest, and shoulders following the same guidelines.
Q: What if I want something gentler?
A: Consider starting with Tretinoin 0.025% Cream or Adapalene Gel for a milder retinoid introduction.
