Question 1

i just started using tretinoin 
for my face. i have a lot of white heads and black heads. my face started to itch and build allergies. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Your face is itchy, but not from allergies. During introduction of tretinoin it is usually irritating. With continued use the skin will tolerate it without itch, redness, peeling, etc. Use of other acne topicals , harsh washing, and use of large amounts make this worse. Wash gently. Wait at least 15min after wash before application. Use very small amt., use moisturizers. Skip 1 or 2 nights when se

Question 2

started using tretinoin for mulluscum. i became inflamed and irritated, and it's still spreading. i got spooked and stopped using it. at first i thought this was the mulluscum, but now i don't. does this mean i have an allergy? or will it get better?

Accepted Answer

Diagnosis needed: A visit to your pediatrician or urgent care will be needed as a firm diagnosis will be needed. All meds for molluscum will trigger an inflammatory reaction in general. Alternate diagnoses may be possible as well. If indeed molluscum, most get better by themselves, but it takes months.

Question 3

can you use renova (tretinoin) once a week and get results ?

Accepted Answer

See a dermatologist: Renova (tretinoin) is a retinoid product that is a derivative of vitamin a.  Retinols do help with the improvement of fine lines, wrinkles and skin aging, but they can be irritating to the skin, as well.  If your skin is very sensitive, we recommend using these products every other night or every 3rd night, to start.  Please be aware that retinoid products can predispose your skin to redness.  See a derm.

Question 4

can you take a 2 month summer break from renova (tretinoin)  to catch a little sun . i mean little ! live in northeast and always in sun for summer .

Accepted Answer

Renova (tretinoin): Two weeks is a good amount of time.  I usually recommend between one and two weeks prior to intense sun exposure. For moderate sun exposure, one does not need to stop the Retin-A at all, just use proper sun protection and avoid the sun in peak hours. Given that it will be difficult to avoid intense sun exposure on your trip, your plan to use sun protective clothing, eyewear and sunscreens.

Question 5

i need a reputable site to buy renova (tretinoin) without a prescription?

Accepted Answer

Only by prescription: Renova (tretinoin) is only available with a prescription. If someone offers to sell it to you without a prescription then you may be getting an inferior or bogus material and that would not be advised.

Question 6

Question 7

can i get renova (tretinoin) in france?

Accepted Answer

Not legally: Renova is a us brand of tretinoin. France, as does the entire european union, has strict rules against importing non-eu manufactured prescription medications. Honestly, I am not a huge fan of Renova and you can get regular tretinoin in france very easily. Be careful with sun-exposure and use a good sunscreen with it. Start of at a low-dose until your skin becomes tolerant and ten increase it.

Question 9

so does florissant light or indoor lights effect  renova (tretinoin) ?

Question 10

can you apply renova (tretinoin)  in the day as long as you plan on staying inside out of sun ?  thus does artificial light effect renova (tretinoin) ?

Accepted Answer

Renova (tretinoin) and Sun: Renova (tretinoin) is Retin-A mixed with a moisturizer.  It has the effect of reversing sun damage.  In other words it makes your skin more like a babies skin.  When your skin gets healthier like that it is more prone to sun damage (like a babies).  That is the reason that you need to watch out for the sun with renova (tretinoin).  Normal artificial light does not cause that problem. Remember to use your sun block,  too.
