<p><strong>For psoriasis</strong>: Tazarotene cream should be applied once per day, in the evening, to psoriatic lesions, using enough (2 mg/cm2) to cover only the lesion with a thin film. If a bath or shower is taken prior to application, the skin should be dried before applying the cream. If emollients are used, they should be applied at least one hour before application of Tazarotene cream.<br />
<br />
<strong>For acne</strong>: Cleanse the face gently. After the skin is dry, apply a thin layer (2mg/cm2) of Tazarotene cream 0.1% once per day, in the evening, to the skin areas where acne lesions appear. Use enough to cover the entire affected area.</p>
