Zusammenfassung:Topical tazarotene is effective and well tolerated in the treatment of acne vulgaris and has been used successfully in diverse patient populations.

The authors review their prescribing practices and special considerations for women, African Americans, patients living in dry climates, adolescents, and Asian Americans.
