From a little research it seems that Isotrex is pretty much identical to retin-a, the stuff doctors in the UK prescribed before. Good news they've found an appropriate replacement.

Thankyou so much for the info on isotrex, much more informative than the doctor!

I've requested it on prescription - here's hoping.

 

And well - I can't remember that far back to my Chemistry lessons ......

"As the name suggests, isotretinoin is an isomer of tretinoin. The only structural difference between the two molecules lies in the spatial arrangement of the atoms around one carbon-carbon double bond."

What does Tretinoin even do? I'm on it right now and I find it to be kind of...meh.
