Product Description

Isotretinoin is a drug against acne chemically associated with retinoic acid and retinol (vitamin A). The exact mechanism of action is not known, it blocks the sebaceous glands, reduces the production of fat in the skin, and thereby prevents the development of acne. It is sold in many countries of the world and is considered one of the most effective means of fighting acne.

In one recent study, 160 volunteers used Accutane for a period of 2-28 weeks. Of 133 patients who remained at the end of the experiment, 127 patients noted complete or almost complete disappearance of acne. That is 95% efficiency, which is very important for any drug. Also, 60% of the patients did not worry about pimples for a whole year after completing the Accutane. Bodybuilders use it for the same purpose to remove one of the most visible external side effects of using AAS-acne.
