A member asked:
Will tazorac (tazarotene) cream help me with acne scars?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Probably not: It is an exfoliant but not enough to erase scars. It is more for active acne and its control.

Not likely: Tazorac (tazarotene) is a synthetic form of vitamin a. It will likely not improve acne scars but can improve overall texture and skin coloration.
