Unfortunately, if you stop using tazorac the acne will probably return. This is one of those things you have to use on a continuous basis until your acne goes away on its own. I know this is not what you wanted to hear lol. On another note, I too am using tazorac cream. It's only been 2 weeks though but I am liking the results already. How bad was your acne to begin with and when did you start to notice alot of improvement?
