What Experts Say

Isotretinoin gel unclogs pores and normalises skin shedding, while erythromycin targets the bacteria that contribute to acne breakouts, so the combination works on two causes of acne at once.

It is applied once daily, usually at night, to clean and dry skin, avoiding the eyes, lips and any broken or sunburnt skin.

Skin often becomes dry, red or peels in the first weeks, which usually settles with continued use and a gentle moisturiser. Sun protection is important, since treated skin becomes more sensitive to sunlight, and it should not be used in pregnancy.

How to use Oratraxin Gel?
