Severe acne is common among teenagers and young adults in Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, and Rawalpindi, often worsened by heat and pollution.
Isoface contains isotretinoin, which shrinks oil glands and reduces the bacteria that trigger acne. A full course usually runs several months under a dermatologist's care.
This medicine needs regular blood tests and strict pregnancy prevention, since it can cause severe birth defects if taken during pregnancy.
