Renova Information:

• What

What is Renova?

Renova is a cream used to treat acne vulgaris that consists of tretinoin. Tretinoin is a retinoid and the carboxylic acid form of vitamin A. It works by acting on the RAR (retinoid acid) receptors that modify gene expression, protein synthesis, and epithelial cell growth. It helps to eject comedones from clogged pores, and it stimulates cell generation and cell turnover to eliminate acne. Tretinoin stimulates collagen production and it may also work to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Renova comes in two different strengths: 0.02% and 0.05% tretinoin.

First, gently wash your face with a mild soap and dry it. Wait 20 minutes or so for the face to completely dry before applying Renova. Use a pea-sized amount to cover the affected area and rub it in evenly. If you are using the medication for your entire face or other parts of the body, more than a pea-sized amount may be required. Avoid getting this medication near your eyes or in your ears, nostrils, lips and mouth. Ask your dermatologist about using a moisturizer that you can apply after each application of Renova. You may use makeup after applying Renova and allowing it to be absorbed, but this medication produces the best results when used overnight. Your acne may get worse before it starts to improve. It may take several weeks to see results.
