ROACCUTANE belongs to a group of medicines called retinoids, which are similar to vitamin A. Retinoids work by reducing the amount of the oily substance (i.e. sebum) made by glands in your skin, reducing bacteria and inflammation and opening clogged pores.Isotretinoin capsules start to work after a week to 10 days. Isotretinoin capsules work very well - 4 out of 5 people who use them have clear skin after 4 months. Your skin may become very dry and sensitive to sunlight during treatment. Using lip balm and moisturisers will help.
