hi welcome,
it is better not use the isotrex longer time.
if more acne are there you try some alternate methods instead of this drug.
consult one beautician and undergo face wash first in order to clean.
then try some homeopathic medicines
thanking you

Hi dear ,

Acne is a chronic ,relapsing but controllable and treatable condition.

there are many treatment options available for acne ranging from topical to oral to lasers.you need not continue same medication for life long. you can be symptom free for months after treatment .
you can discuss the treatment options with your dermatologist.
