Key facts

This is a 0.05% tazarotene gel in a 20g pack. Check the label when it arrives and ask a pharmacist if the printed details differ.

How tazarotene gel is generally used

1. Read the label and ask a doctor or pharmacist to confirm that tazarotene is suitable for your condition.
2. Start slowly if advised, particularly if you are new to topical retinoids or have easily irritated skin.
3. Cleanse the intended area gently and let the skin dry before applying the gel.
4. Use a small, pea-sized amount in a thin layer. Avoid the eyes, lips, nostrils and broken, sunburned or irritated skin.
5. Do not use more than directed. Apply moisturiser if recommended and do not combine irritating products without advice.
6. Use sunscreen during the day. Stop and seek advice if severe irritation, pain, swelling or a concerning reaction develops.

Do not use it for a skin concern that has not been assessed. Ask a clinician about the intended area, frequency and duration, especially if another retinoid or exfoliating acid is already in your routine.

Who should speak to a clinician first

Speak with a doctor or pharmacist before using Tazret Gel if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding. Ask for guidance if your acne or psoriasis has not been assessed, if you have broken or irritated skin, or if you already use a retinoid, exfoliating acid or another irritating product.

What is Tazret Gel used for?

How should tazarotene gel be applied?

Use the amount and frequency on the label or given by your prescriber. A cautious general approach is to cleanse and dry the area, apply a small amount, and avoid the eyes, lips, nostrils and broken skin. Do not increase use because progress seems slow. Use sunscreen during the day.

Can Tazret Gel be used for acne?

Acne is one of the conditions listed for Tazret Gel. It does not replace a clinical assessment. Ask a doctor or pharmacist whether tazarotene 0.05% is appropriate, especially if your acne is severe, your skin is irritated, or you use other active products.

Can tazarotene gel be used for psoriasis?

Psoriasis is also listed for this gel. If you are considering it for raised or scaling skin, speak with a clinician first so the diagnosis and treatment plan can be checked. Avoid applying it to broken or irritated skin unless a qualified professional has specifically advised you to do so.
