Product Introduction
Risotin-20 Capsule is a systemic retinoid used for the treatment of severe acne (such as nodular, cystic, or conglobate acne) that hasn’t improved with antibiotics or topical treatments. It contains Isotretinoin (20mg), a vitamin A derivative that targets acne at its root by reducing oil gland size and secretion.
Due to its strength and potential side effects, Isotretinoin should only be used under close medical supervision.

Improvement usually begins after 4–6 weeks, with full results seen by the end of the treatment course (typically 4–6 months).
