Cis-Retinoic Acid

Cis-Retinoic Acid, also known as isotretinoin, is a derivative of vitamin A known for its powerful effects on acne-prone skin. It regulates skin cell turnover, reduces the size of sebaceous glands, and decongests pores, making it effective in treating and preventing acne. Additionally, it has anti-inflammatory properties which can reduce redness and improve overall skin texture and tone.
