Tazorac® is a pro-drug. A pro-drug is a chemically passive drug which is absorbed through the skin. Once it enters the system, it converts into an active working substance.

The two types of formulation have the exact same amount of ingredient so you can pick either one according to your personal preference.
Tazorac® comes in two strengths – 0.05% and 0.1%. The 0.05% strength is recommended for the treatment of acne vulgaris and psoriasis, the type of which causes abnormally large patches on the skin. The 0.1% strength is used to eliminate mild to moderate facial acne. The drug has the same chemical make-up as vitamin A.
According to Allergan, Inc., the active ingredient called Tazarotenic Acid may be the revolutionary new way to treat acne and psoriasis as it helps prevent and clear acne breakouts with the added bonus of skin rejuvenation.
