Is Retin A And Tretinoin The Same Thing?

How Long Does It Take To See Results From Tretinoin?

You may start to notice some effects from use of Renova (Tretinoin) cream in 3 to 4 months. The effects are usually noticeable after 6 months with additional improvements occurring after that. If the treatment with Renova is stopped, the improvement will start to fade gradually.

How Do You Use Tretinoin Cream?

Use Renova exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It should be applied at bed time only covering the affected areas lightly and rub gently. Before applying the medication, wash your face with a mild soap, pat the skin dry and wait for 20 to 30 minutes. Applying Renova to wet skin can lead to irritation. After application of Renova, you might feel warmth or stinging sensation. Its application can also lead to redness, itching, burning, stinging and peeling if applied to areas near mouth, ears, nose or eyes. Use of larger amounts of Renova than prescribed does not speed up the results but can lead to overdose, which can cause red and peeling skin along with pain or discomfort. You can apply some cosmetics after application of Renova.

What Should Be Avoided While Using Renova?

Renova can increase the sensitivity of your skin to sunlight. Hence, avoid sunlight and do not use sunlamps. You should avoid going under direct sunlight by using protective clothing and sunscreens while using Renova. It should be applied only at bedtime. Try to avoid dry skin products and avoid applying Renova near eyes, nose, mouth or ears.
