Either the manufacturer is not marketing it to the US right now or the FDA is blocking it. Those are the only two reasons I can think of.

Supposedly studies have shown that isotrex is no more effective than retin-a for acne, so some manafactures have limited its use in favor of retin-a. But this is only speculation, there might be other reasons why it is not marked in the states.

I have heard that it is effective in reducing sebum production
I don't think Retin A does that
