Acutret 20 Capsule contains isotretinoin (20 mg), which acts on your body in the following ways:

• Reduces sebaceous glands' size and output: Isotretinoin dramatically reduces the production of the skin's natural oil (sebum) by approximately 90% or more. As sebum nourishes acne bacteria, this reduction hampers bacterial growth.

• Normalises keratinisation process: Isotretinoin helps normalise the process of skin cell growth and shedding, preventing blocked pores and reducing comedone formation.

• Reduces Cutibacterium acnes bacteria: By altering the skin's environment to less anaerobic, it indirectly reduces Cutibacterium acnes bacteria on your skin.

• Anti-inflammatory properties: It also has anti-inflammatory properties, although how exactly it achieves this is not yet fully understood.

• Store Acutret 20 Capsule at a temperature of 20° to 25°C.

• Keep the capsules out of direct light.

• Always keep it out of reach of children.

• Make sure to use it before the expiry date mentioned on the pack.

• As Acutret 20 Capsule manages severe acne, make sure you maintain a balanced diet that is rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains as they have antioxidants which can help reduce inflammation and promote clearer skin.

• To complement Acutret 20 Capsule's action, avoid excessive sun exposure. When outdoors, always use sunscreen and wear protective clothing to prevent sunburn and protect your sensitive skin.
