Q. Can I use cosmetics while using Tazotene DS Gel?
Cosmetics and skin care products can be used but preferably 1 hour before or after using Tazotene DS Gel. This is done so that the cosmetics/skin care products are allowed to pass slowly through the skin and absorbed completely. Avoid using products which have excessive drying effects.
