The following product information is not intended to replace the physician's
or manufacturer's instructions.
RENOVA USES:
Tretinoin is a naturally occurring form of vitamin A. It is used to treat
mild to moderate acne or to treat the effects of aging on the face, such
as fine lines, wrinkles, or "age spots". Renova is available only with
your doctor's prescription, in the following dosage forms: Topical Cream;
Gel; Topical solution.
HOW TO USE RENOVA:
Use Renova exactly as directed by your doctor. Renova is for use on the
face, 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. If you are using Renova, wait approximately 20 to 30 minutes
after washing your face before applying the medication. Cover affected
area lightly. Avoid the use of any topical products on the treated area
for at least 1 hour following application of this medication. 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. Do not stop using tretinoin topical if you do not see improvement
in your condition immediately. Effects of Renova 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. The Renova brand
of tretinoin topical will not eliminate wrinkles, repair sun damaged skin,
reverse photoaging, or restore more youthful or younger skin.
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 Renova.

as soon as possible: darkening or lightening of the treated areas; severe
burning, itching, crusting, or swelling of the treated areas.
