Chemical Structural:

Isotretinoin is used for the
treatment and prevention of severe acne. It belongs
to the family of medicines called retinoids, which are
similar to vitamin A. like other retinoids, works by
altering DNA transcription. This affect decreases the
size and output of sebaceous glands. It also makes the
cells that are sloughed off into the sebaceous glands

and whiteheads (comedones). It also reduces the number
of bacteria in the sebaceous gland and on the skin surface.
It is sometimes used in prevention of certain skin cancers.
