This whole article sounds like an ad. It is not neutral, and it reads like it was written by a drug rep. The lack of citations is a key factor.

Really? What part seems NPOV to you? The part where the article states what conditions the drug is approved for treating, or the part where the common side effects are listed? This article reads like a typical patient information sheet or drug advisory. --72.188.235.81 03:46, 24 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There are many inaccuracies in this article. Tazarotene has proven more effective than Tretinion for both acne and photoaging in any single clinical trial, of which there have been many. Just search Pubmed. It is also not true that there are only limited benefits of Tazarotene for photodamage; the effects are profound. I would find you the studies if I cared. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.148.156.12 (talk) 23:29, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

According to Pubmed (2018), [2], the 2007 article "Interventions for photodamaged skin" has been withdrawn, so it is not a valid citation. PMID: 15674885 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.200.138.39 (talk) 22:08, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
