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.

FAQs

❓ Can Risotin-20 cure acne permanently?
For many, it leads to long-term or permanent improvement. However, some may need repeat courses.

❓ How long does it take to see results?
Improvement usually begins after 4–6 weeks, with full results seen by the end of the treatment course (typically 4–6 months).

❓ Is it safe to use with other acne products?
Avoid harsh products (like exfoliants or alcohol-based toners) unless your doctor approves, as the skin becomes highly sensitive.
