Isotretinoin 20mg is a potent medication used to treat severe or persistent acne that does not respond to other treatments. It works by targeting the root causes of acne: overactive sebaceous (oil) glands, clogged pores, bacterial growth, and inflammation. Isotretinoin reduces sebum production, which limits the oil that acne-causing bacteria thrive on. It also promotes faster skin cell turnover, preventing clogged pores, and has anti-inflammatory effects that reduce redness and swelling. Taken under medical supervision, isotretinoin can dramatically improve severe acne, often providing long-term remission, but requires careful monitoring due to potential side effects.
