You have cells that line the follicles of the oil glands in your skin. Accutane is a powerful vitamin A derivative (called a retinoid) that shrinks oil glands and helps hair follicles and pores shed dead cells more efficiently, which clears up infections and stops acne before it has a chance to get infected and turn into a skin blemish. Acne is a disorder of the skin's oil glands (sebaceous glands) that results in plugged pores and outbreaks of lesions commonly called pimples or zits. |
