A member asked:
Does isotrex gel solve acne just like the oral use of isotretinoin tablets solves acne? or are the effects of the gel milder and does the acne return?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is Retin A (tretinoin): Same ingredient as oral form. Certainly topicals not as harsh nor are the side effects. .There is no real "cure" for acne but simple control.
