Hey Guys(this is the men's group after all), I have been using Tazorac for almost 2 months now for a study being performed at UCLA. Let me tell you what I know about it. It is a topical retinoid with no side effects and is of the same consistency as neosporin ointment. However, it goes on like a clear "GOO" but eventually dries up and leaves your skin flakey, actually it is exfoliating the scales and is not a moisturizer. UCLA has told me to apply eucerin first, then wait for an hour, actually just let the eucerin soak in, and then apply the tazorac on top of this. The Tazorac works better then anything I have ever used for removing scales, I applied it to my chest once, and 4 days later my chest completely cleared. Most of the scales can be removed when in the shower or tub using a scrub pad or even your hand. Your skin will be "new" and probably very sensitive to the sun so facial use should be done with UV/SPF protection in mind. You guys can write me if you have any questions, I go back to UCLA monday so hurry up and I'll ask all questions that I can't answer then. Later dudes. Keith, keithx1@earthlink.net

I use Clinique regular scruffing soap on my face, arms, chest and neck three to four times a week when I am in the shower. It almost completely removes the scales and gives me a normal appearance. But, perhaps more importantly, it "relaxes" my skin so it does not feel so tight. When I get out of the shower, I simply use fragerance free Lubriderm lotion. Oh, by the way, I have Lamellar, I am 33 years old, and I have tried almost everything talked about in these posts from their developmental phases to the finished products. I can only say that this works for me, but it is cheap enough and worth a shot. Good luck!
