  1. Acutane

  2. Renova

  3. Retin-A

  4. Topical Antibiotic

The correct answer is: Acutane

Isotretinoin is more commonly known as Acutane. This medication is commonly used to treat severe nodular acne that has not responded to other treatments. Acutane is a systemic medication that works by reducing the size of the skin's oil glands, which helps to prevent acne formation. Renova and Retin-A are both brand names for tretinoin, which is a topical retinoid used for treating acne and reducing the appearance of wrinkles. Topical antibiotics are a different type of acne treatment that work by killing acne-causing bacteria on the skin's surface.
