Don’t let the cost of your antidepressant stand in the way of your mental health. We help eligible patients access Arazlo (tazarotene lotion 0.045%) for as little as $69.95 per month through manufacturer Patient Assistance Programs.
The Arazlo Prescription Assistance Program is a manufacturer-sponsored initiative that provides Arazlo at no medication cost to patients who qualify based on income and insurance status. The program is designed for uninsured and underinsured individuals who cannot afford their medication. If approved, you receive your Arazlo free of charge, and you can reapply as needed for continued access.
Navigating this program on your own, however, means dealing with eligibility requirements, prescriber coordination, documentation, and re-enrollment deadlines — all while managing a skin condition that often requires months of continuous treatment for meaningful results.
AffordMyPrescriptions eliminates that burden. For a flat $69.95 per month, our Patient Advocates handle every step of your enrollment, from initial application through ongoing refills, so you never face a gap in your acne treatment.

Many patients try discount cards first. Here’s why the Patient Assistance Program through Afford My Prescriptions is the better long-term solution:
Eligibility is generally determined by annual household income levels. Most programs follow guidelines that include a limit of up to $40,000 for individuals, $60,000 for couples, and $100,000 for larger families. Because these requirements can vary, we encourage you to contact AffordMyPrescriptions directly so we can review your specific situation and determine if you qualify for assistance.
Arazlo (tazarotene) is a prescription topical retinoid taken once daily to treat acne vulgaris in patients age 9 and older. It is applied as a thin layer to the affected areas of skin each evening after washing and drying your face. Arazlo is uniquely formulated as a lotion at a lower 0.045% concentration than older tazarotene products, designed to deliver effective retinoid acne treatment with improved tolerability. Each tube contains 45 grams of lotion and promotes healthy skin cell turnover, reduces oil production, decreases inflammation, and prevents new acne from forming.
How It Works:
Acne develops when hair follicles in your skin become clogged with dead skin cells and excess oil (sebum). Normally, dead skin cells rise to the surface and shed, but in acne-prone skin, these cells stick together and plug the pore. The trapped oil creates an environment where bacteria multiply, triggering the inflammation, redness, and swelling that characterize acne breakouts.
Arazlo works by delivering tazarotene — a retinoid (a form of vitamin A) — directly to the affected skin. Once absorbed, tazarotene is converted into its active form (tazarotenic acid), which binds to retinoid receptors in skin cells and triggers several beneficial changes. First, it normalizes skin cell turnover, preventing dead cells from sticking together and clogging pores. Second, it reduces excess oil production by the sebaceous glands. Third, it decreases inflammation in the skin. Fourth, it promotes the growth of new, healthy skin cells to replace damaged tissue. What makes Arazlo unique is its 0.045% concentration in a lotion vehicle — specifically developed to provide effective acne treatment while reducing the irritation, dryness,
and peeling that can cause patients to discontinue retinoid therapy.
Form and Use:
Available as a 45-gram tube of 0.045% lotion. Apply a thin layer to the affected areas of skin once daily in the evening after washing and drying your face. Wash your hands after applying.
Generic Availability:
As of April 2026, there is no generic version of Arazlo (tazarotene 0.045% lotion) available in the United States. Arazlo’s specific low-concentration lotion formulation has no direct generic equivalent. However, generic tazarotene is available in other formulations — cream and gel atm 0.05% and 0.1% concentrations — at approximately $40 to $80 per tube with coupons. Other generic retinoids for acne, such as tretinoin and adapalene, are also widely available at lower cost.
Warnings:
Arazlo must not be used during pregnancy — tazarotene can cause birth defects. You must use effective birth control during treatment. If you become pregnant while using Arazlo, stop the medication immediately and contact your healthcare provider. Using Arazlo with other potentially irritating products may increase skin irritation. Your dermatologist can design a comprehensive skincare routine that complements Arazlo without causing excessive dryness or peeling.
The average retail price of Arazlo is approximately $682–$741 per 45-gram tube. With GoodRx coupons, you may pay approximately $583 per tube across most major pharmacies, and SingleCare can bring prices as low as $528–$559 per tube. Through AffordMyPrescriptions, qualifying patients receive Arazlo at no medication cost — our $69.95 monthly fee covers advocacy and program management.
Yes. The Arazlo shipped through the Patient Assistance Program is the identical FDA- approved brand-name medication dispensed at U.S. pharmacies. It ships in the manufacturer’s original packaging directly to you or to your prescribing dermatologist.

However, generic tazarotene is available in cream and gel forms at higher concentrations (0.05% and 0.1%) for approximately $40–$80 per tube with coupons. Generic tretinoin costs as little as $10–$30. Your dermatologist can determine whether one of these generic retinoids would treat your acne equally well — and if so, we will tell you honestly.

If we can’t help, you won’t be charged.
Most applications are reviewed within 2 to 4 weeks. During that time, your Patient Advocate gathers required documentation from you and your dermatologist and submits the complete application package. We track your status throughout the review and follow up if additional information is needed.
