Isotretinoin is often a cure for acne. It is a similar substance to Vitamin A, but the action of Isotretinoin is very different. Isotretinoin works by reducing the amount of oily substances produced by the oil making glands in your skin. This reduces the amount of bacteria in the skin. These bacteria are the cause of the ‘pus’ and inflammation found with acne. Isotretinoin may help reduce the inflammation of the skin. Why Has Isotretinoin Been Prescribed For Me?
