    topical retinoid used for treating acne and psoriasis

    Tazarotene is a topical medication that belongs to the class of drugs known as retinoids, which are derived from vitamin A. It is commonly used to treat skin conditions like psoriasis and acne by promoting cell turnover and reducing inflammation. For professionals, it's important to note that tazarotene works by modulating gene expression, which helps normalize the differentiation and proliferation of epithelial cells.
