Question 1

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 2

if you stop using renova (tretinoin) for the summer will you lose the results  ?  i use for  smoother  skin

Accepted Answer

Summer use of Renova (tretinoin): Renova (tretinoin) is a topical vitamin a that is used for the reduction of the rough skin texture, fine wrinkles and improvement of uneven skin discoloration. You do not have to stop using it in summer, as you will likely lose the benefits (in your case smoother skin) over time. Your caution is understood. Use of tretinoin can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight/uv. Use spf 30 sunscreen.

Question 3

can you alternate back in forth between tazorac and  renova (tretinoin) ? heard you might get better results

Accepted Answer

Ask Dermatologist: If you're under the care of a dermatologist (which you should be since you're asking about prescription medications), then see what s/he says about this. If you are having side effects with one of the products it might be reasonable to try alternating meds, but it could equally cause a duplication of unwanted side effects, like excessive irritation or dryness. Follow your dermatologist's advice!

Question 4

been using renova (tretinoin) for a year. just got a bad sunburn . will it  have long lasting negative effects(sunburn)and will it reverse my positive results ?

Accepted Answer

Time will tell: Please continue Renova (tretinoin) and fda compliant sunscreen. This will keep things under control as much as possible. We don't have the perfect solution yet.

Question 5

is tretinex different than renova (tretinoin)?

Accepted Answer

Tretinex=Acne Only: Tretinex is acutaine and used for acne. Tretinoin (Retin-A) is a cream used to treat sun dsmaged skin. Renova, in my opinion, has no use as it is tretinoin mixed with mineral oil to prevent its penetrating the skin, thus markedly reducing its effectiveness. At your age, tretinoin is what you need. See a plastic surgeon or dermatologist experienced in skin rejuvenation.

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 8

Accepted Answer

Not to our knowledge: Fluorescent lights should have no effect as they do not emit solar radiation.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

No problem.: It is common to use both of these in the same patient.
