How it works:
Tazarotene is a third-generation synthetic retinoid derived from vitamin A. After topical application, it is converted into its active metabolite, tazarotenic acid, which binds to retinoic acid receptors. This action regulates keratinocyte differentiation, reduces hyperkeratosis, and decreases inflammatory activity.

Research background:
Clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of tazarotene 0.1% in moderate to severe acne.
It has also shown significant benefits in plaque psoriasis by reducing abnormal keratinocyte proliferation.
Studies confirm sustained clinical improvement with appropriate medical supervision.
