How tazarotene cream is generally used

1. Read the label and confirm with a qualified clinician that this product and strength are appropriate for you.
2. Ask a pharmacist or doctor how often to use it. If you are new to topical retinoids, a cautious slower start may be appropriate.
3. Cleanse the intended area gently and allow the skin to dry before application.
4. Use a small, pea-sized amount for the intended area. Keep it away from the eyes, lips, nostrils and broken or irritated skin.
5. Do not apply more often or use more product than directed. Use sun protection during the day.
6. Stop and seek professional advice if severe irritation, swelling, hives or breathing difficulty develops.

Do not use a fixed schedule copied from another product. Follow the label and professional directions for your own circumstances. Ask before combining it with other retinoids, strong exfoliating acids or products that may irritate the same area.
