Sotret 0.05 % Description
Sotret Gel is a topical medicine. It contains isotretinoin as its active ingredient, which is a derivative of vitamin A. Sotret Gel is used for the treatment of acne. Acne is a common skin condition
that is caused due to clogging of pores on the skin due to excessive oil secretion. It usually occurs due to hormonal imbalance, stress, climate changes, use of oil-based make-up and an improper diet. To get the maximum benefit from this medicine you should follow basic skincare practice, maintain a healthy diet and avoid the use of oil-based cosmetics on the skin. You should also avoid popping out acne as it can leave a permanent scar on the skin.
