Isotretinoin, also known as 13-cis-retinoic acid, is a member of the retinoid class of drugs used to treat common skin conditions such as acne, rosacea, and psoriasis. Different types of retinoids have different mechanisms of action and ranges of use. The main oral retinoids used for acne treatment are isotretinoin and retinoate. Isotretinoin has a stronger effect than retinoate in suppressing oil secretion and is the preferred treatment for severe acne.
