In her caption, the woman shared that she had used isotretinoin (under the brand Oratane) for three weeks, adding:

"All I can say is it's really not an easy journey, but we will definitely make it to the other side. The first month of six months has been hell, but we still move."

What is Oratane?

According to the medical information hub Healthdirect, Oratane (a soft capsule taken orally) treats severe cystic acne and requires a prescription.

"Because of the significant adverse effects associated with its use, isotretinoin should be reserved for patients with severe cystic acne who are unresponsive to conventional therapy, including systemic antibiotics."

Internet users show their support

Local social media users flooded the TikTokker's comment section with positive and encouraging words about the skincare routine she used.
