Skin Care

One particularly effective medication for severe acne is isotretinoin, a powerful retinoid that targets the root causes of acne by reducing sebum production, inflammation, and the proliferation of acne-causing bacteria. While isotretinoin can be highly successful in treating stubborn acne cases, following a prescribed skincare regimen during the treatment period is essential, as the medication can cause skin dryness and increased sensitivity to sunlight. Maintaining a gentle, hydrating skincare routine, using sunscreen daily, and avoiding harsh exfoliants can help minimize side effects and promote healthier, clearer skin during isotretinoin therapy.
