Properties:

Tazarotene is a substance that belongs to the class of retinoids, which exfoliates the skin and gets rid of dead tissue. It contributes to rejuvenating the skin, improving its texture, and getting rid of annoying effects on the skin. 

Tazarotene is selective for two types of retinoic acid receptors, RAR-γ and RAR-β. Like all retinoids, it affects the ability of keratinocytes in the epidermis to proliferate and differentiate. It does so by upregulating filaggrin expression and downregulating the expression of keratinocyte transglutaminase, ornithine decarboxylase, involucrin, epidermal growth factor receptor and various keratins.
