Renova

(tretinoin emollient cream) 0.05%

Renova is the first prescription cream proven to diminish fine lines and wrinkles, give skin a smoother texture and rosier glow when used as part of a comprehensive skin care and sun avoidance program, and when those programs alone are not enough.
The fountain of youth is a myth, but so is the idea that you can do nothing about your aging skin. The majority of the skin changes we think of as aging are actually caused by sun exposure. As part of a comprehensive skincare and sun avoidance program, RENOVA 0.02% can reduce the signs of photodamage, helping to smooth out fine facial wrinkles. What's keeping your skin from looking its best?

Active Ingredient
RENOVA contains tretinoin, a Vitamin A derivative, like the one naturally occurring in your body (Vitamin A is also an essential nutrient found in yellow and orange vegetables such as carrots and yams). Tretinoin works within the cell and is believed to increase collagen production in the epidermis and decrease collagen breakdown in the dermis to improve the skin's internal structure.

What to Expect
When using RENOVA, you should begin to notice your skin becoming smoother and softer within the first month or two. Within three to four months, you may notice a reduction in fine facial wrinkles. Additional benefits should be apparent within five to six months of therapy.

Possible Side Effects
While using RENOVA, you may experience some redness, itching, dryness or peeling because RENOVA is a dermal irritant. This is most often mild and most common when treatment is started. In some patients, this may be severe. When using RENOVA, you should limit exposure to the sun and always use a sunscreen.
