KSh 1,800.00
D’Acne-20 Capsules contain isotretinoin, a powerful retinoid, primarily used for treating severe acne, such as nodular or cystic acne, which has not responded well to other treatments. By reducing sebum production and influencing cell renewal, D’Acne-20 helps reduce inflammation and prevent clogged pores, resulting in clearer skin over time.
