How Tazarotene Gel Works
Tazarotene comes in gel and binds to the retinoic acid receptors in the skin, modulating cell growth and differentiation.
In turn, the gel helps to prevent the excessive skin cell buildup.
It tends to normalize skin shedding and also reduces pore blockages.
Moreover, the gel also enhances the production of collagen and skin renewal.
