Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

As per your complain you should take tretiva contains Isotretinoin only after consulting a trained Dermatologist as it needs to be ruled out by clinical evaluation that you need Oral supplements or topical therapy is sufficient..
As of now you can start washing your face with Salicylic acid containing face wash.
Apply a combination of gels containing Clindamycin and Benzoyl Peroxide..
You can also apply Adapelene gel once at night..
Take Multivitamin supplements..
Drink plenty of water and avoid oily foods..
Exfoliate your face twice a week using a gentle scrub..
You can also go for chemical peel containing Glycolic acid..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
