Oratane

Oratane capsules contain a medication known as isotretinoin. Isotretinoin is often a cure for acne. It is a similar substance to Vitamin A, but the action of isotretinoin is very different.

Oratane works by reducing the amount of oily substances produced by the oil making glands in your skin and by unblocking the pores. This reduces the amount of bacteria in the skin. These bacteria are the cause of the ‘pus’ and inflammation found with acne. Oratane may also help to reduce the inflammation of the skin.
