Description

Key Details & Safety
- How it Works: Shrinks the skin’s oil (sebum) glands to prevent clogged pores, kills acne-causing bacteria, and reduces inflammation.
- Usage: Treatment courses generally last 16 to 24 weeks, though you may see a temporary worsening of acne before the skin clears.
- Side Effects: Common side effects include dry lips, dry skin, dry eyes, and potential sensitivity to sunlight.
- Crucial Warnings: This medication must not be taken if pregnant, as it can cause severe birth defects. Avoid face waxing, laser hair removal, and excessive sun exposure while taking it.
