Background
Acne in Review takes a closer look at Tazorac, a prescription strength cream and gel which is clinically shown to have effective acne fighting power. Tazorac is a twelve week treatment plan.

Tazorac claims to be so powerful that you need to see a doctor’s prescription to get it.

To explain, Tazorac is a “prodrug” – which means that its medication is supplied in a chemically inactive form and only becomes active when it enters the body.

Specifically, Tazorac offers the following…

• Users see results in as early as four weeks
• It’s a prescription strength medicine for whiteheads, blackheads, red pimples and pustules.
• Comes in either a cream or gel format
• A $35 rebate is provided

Ingredients
Our Acne in Review Treatment team was intrigued to discover that Tazaroc’s active ingredient is tazarotene. An ingredient which promotes increases skin cell regeneration. In simple terms it promotes peeling of the skin which unplugs pores and prevents the formation of whiteheads and blackheads.

Tazorac comes in either a cream or a gel, but unlike over the counter drugs, Tazorac is FDA approved prescriptions.

The tazarotene starts working as soon as it’s applied and can make your skin red, but that is because your skin is regenerating and peeling.

The cream is non-greasy and easy to use compared to the gel which is fast-drying and cooling. Both are used to fight Acne Vulgaris.

Website
Our Acne in Review team was impressed by the professional look and feel of the Tazorac website. It is a highly comprehensive, fun looking and informative.

The brightly coloured subject tabs and simple outline make the website easy to read and access. The sections of the website are well divided, making it easy to navigate through Tazorac’s content.

Plus, the website also has a lot of cool extras. You can test your acne IQ, find a dermatologist, watch a video to see how to use Tazorac, as well as read success stories of both adults and teens.

Lifestyle
Tazorac has really covered its bases in terms of backing up its claims.

Acne in Review was impressed with the information provided. Tazorac gives a very comprehensive view of its product and effectively backs up its claims using testimonials and before and after photos. They provide a broad FAQ section, detailed prescription information, and a designated area for doctors.

Pros
Tazorac is a much more powerful medication than other over-the-counter acne treatments. It is a prescription medication approved by the FDA, so users can be sure that it’s been thoroughly tested.

The company provides a FREE Tazorac Starter Kit that can be obtained through your doctor. This starter kit will help users determine if Tazorac is right for them.

Cons
Tazorac is only available through prescription, so you cannot purchase it through its website.

Because Tazorac is a strong medication, it does come with some possible side effects. Side effects include redness, peeling, burning, itching, and dry skin. An additional moisturizer is recommended before using Tazorac. This will minimize drying and irritation.

During the first few weeks of treatment skin may appear like it is getting worse, which apparently means the medicine is working. However, it’s stressed that even if side effects do occur, users should not stop treatment.

Tazorac should not be taken in combination with other drugs that increase your sensitivity to sunlight. A sunscreen with at least SPF-15 should be used along with Tazorac.

Tricks
If you register on the Tazorac website, they keep in touch with you every few weeks to see how your treatment is progressing. And, as an added gift for registering, those who sign up receive a $5 Starbucks gift card. Plus, buyers can also get a $35 rebate for your next prescription through the website.

Background
We’ve noticed at Acne in Review that the new and improved products on the market have radically reduced how long it takes to see results. It used to be you had to wait a month or more. Then it turned into weeks instead of months. And now we have products like OxyCerin which promise results in days. Just 7 days to be exact.

Background
Our Acne in Review Treatment Team was excited to analyze the benefits of BenzaClin. Why? Because more prescriptions are written for BenzaClin than any other combination acne treatment in America!

BenzaClin is a prescription-based topical combination acne cream used to treat whiteheads, blackheads, and pimples.

BenzaClin is very easy to use. You just need to apply a small amount of the gel to the affected areas such as the chin or forehead and this powerful formula gets to work. BenzaClin can easily fit into your daily skin regiment and can even be worn under makeup!

Our Acne in Review Treatment team liked the fact that BenzaClin comes in a pump delivery system. With a pump you don’t have to touch the nozzle, which reduces bacterial contamination.

Specifically, BenzaClin offers the following…

• Users see visible results in as little as two weeks
• It’s effective against two types of acne
• Can be worn under makeup and easily fit into your skincare routine
• More doctors prescribe BenzaClin® than any other topical combination acne treatment on the market

Ingredients
Acne in Review felt there could be a bit more information about the ingredients in BenzaClin.

All we know is that it combines the acne-fighting power of two active ingredients: benzoyl peroxide (5%) and clindamycin (1%).

Benzoyl peroxide is commonly used in the fight against acne. It is effective in drying the oil commonly found in patients with acne vulgaris and helps to reduce inflammation. Clindamycin is an antibiotic that helps fight bacteria and reduces inflammation.

Website
The website for BenzaClin is short and to the point. It was easy to navigate and is appealing and professional. Our Acne in Review team was able to get around the site easily and find the sections we were looking for thanks to the well labelled section tabs.

The website seems to be geared towards teens and, although it seems non-gendered, there is a separate section for males. And, the website has some great sections geared towards parent information, male acne, and information for doctors. You can also take a quiz to assess your acne situation.

Our only concern was that the website lacked detailed information. Each section in the website is quite small. Our team felt like we were left wanting a bit more information to prove the effectiveness of BenzaClin.

Lifestyle
The BenzaClin website has FAQs for acne in general, but doesn’t provide answers we had about the product.

Our team did find a graph displaying the results from clinical trials and the positive effects of BenzaClin as well as some before and after photos, however we felt that a few customer testimonials would have been important to include.

Pros
BenzaClin is only available through prescription, so you cannot purchase it through its website. BenzaClin is a much more powerful medication than any over the counter treatment and, because it is a prescription treatment, it is FDA approved, meaning that it has been thoroughly tested.

BenzaClin is also the only combination acne treatment that is available in a pump form. The pump delivery system is patient and doctor preferred by a recent survey.

Cons
Because BenzaClin is a strong prescription it does come with some possible side effects. Side effects include dry skin, itching, burning, peeling, redness, and sunburn.

Our Acne Team was concerned that Benzoyl Peroxide can dry out most types of skin and in some cases cause excessive dryness and flaking. And, the ingredient clindamycin may has been know to cause diarrhea.

The website warns that if any of these side effects persist, you should contact your doctor.

Tricks
You can receive a $15 rebate through the BenzaClin site. Just download the rebate certificate, complete it and mail it in with your prescription receipt!

Acne in Review examines the power behind Lipovox, an all-in-one natural supplement for acne, wrinkles and weight loss.

Background
When our Acne in Review team came across the Vilantae website, we were quite impressed with the amount of information it contained.

We discovered that Vilantae works along the same lines as Accutane; it stops excess skin oil from being released onto the skin’s surface. This makes Vilantae a more effective acne treatment than most topical products (which tend to address skin oil after they have already been produced).
