Renova (wrinkle cream)
Renova (tretinoin cream) is the only prescription

chronic sun exposure and the natural aging process. Renova is used
as a part of a total skin care and sun protection program.
Renova (Skin Care)
(TRETINOIN CREAM)
RENOVA USES: This medication is used to improve
the appearance of the skin by reducing fine lines and wrinkles,
reducing roughness and improving coloration. This can also be used
to treat acne.
HOW TO USE RENOVA : This medication is for
use on the face as directed, usually once a day at bedtime. Apply
a pea-size amount of cream to clean, dry skin on the face being
careful to avoid the eyes, nostrils and mouth. Cover affected area
lightly. Wash hands after use. Do not use this more often than prescribed
or in large amounts. It will not give your faster or better results
but will increase the risk of side effects. Do not use on sunburn
or eczema or other serious skin conditions. Effects of this medication
will be gradual with most improvement seen in the first 6 months
of continued therapy. If used for acne the condition may worsen
at first, then improve.
RENOVA PRECAUTIONS: Before taking Renova
tell your doctor if you have any pre-existing skin disorders or
if you have any allergies. This medication increases your sensitivity
to the sun. Limit sun exposure and avoid sun lamps. Use a sunscreen
and wear protective clothing when outdoors. This medication should
be used only when clearly needed during pregnancy. Discuss the risks
and benefits with your doctor. It is unknown if this drug is excreted
into breast milk. Consult with your doctor before breast-feeding.
RENOVA SIDE EFFECTS: You may experience mild
redness or stinging, itching, burning, skin scaling, peeling and
dry skin the first several weeks as your body adjusts to the medication.
If any of these effects continue or become severe, discontinue use
and notify your doctor.
MISSED DOSE: If you miss a dose, use it as soon
as remembered; do not use if it is almost time for the next dose,
instead, skip the missed dose and resume your usual dosing schedule.
Do not "double-up" the dose to catch up.
DRUG INTERACTIONS: Tell your doctor of any nonprescription
or prescription medication you may take including isotretinoin,
amiodarone, tetracycline or quinolone antibiotics, sulfa-drugs or
phenothiazines as they increase skin sensitivity to the sun. Also
minoxidil and any skin medication, soaps, cleansers, cosmetics,
astringents or any facial products that may be drying or irritating
