Accutane is a powerful drug for treating severe nodular acne - those large, oftentimes painful acne lumps that scar the skin. Accutane is the brand name of isotretinoin, which is a potent derivative of vitamin A known as a retinoid. Retinoids are naturally present in humans and are essential for maintaining healthy mucous membranes.

Accutane limits the production of the substances which allow pimples to form, shrinking the size of the sebum-secreting sebaceous glands and reducing the buildup of these offending oils.
