Isotretinoin, a potent retinoid, is highly effective in the treatment of severe acne vulgaris. Its nearly 60-year history began with the Swiss pharmaceutical company La Roche in the 1960s, where it was initially studied for potential benefits in cancer treatment. This article delineates the historic trajectory of isotretinoin from early clinical trials in the 1970s and 1980s, highlighting its efficacy and safety profile, leading to FDA approval in 1982.
