Renova
Renova (tretinoin) is a topical retinoid used to treat fine wrinkles, rough skin texture, and hyperpigmentation caused by sun damage or photoaging. As a derivative of vitamin A, Renova works by promoting skin cell turnover and collagen production, making it effective for skin rejuvenation. Unlike stronger retinoids, Renova is specifically formulated to treat mild signs of aging and improve the overall appearance of the skin.

Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does Renova Work?
Renova works by stimulating skin cell turnover and promoting the production of new skin cells. It also increases collagen synthesis, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Additionally, Renova can reduce hyperpigmentation by shedding the outer layer of skin where excess melanin has accumulated.
Common Dosages
- Topical cream: 0.02% and 0.05%
Typical Dosing
- For photoaging: Apply a pea-sized amount of Renova cream to the affected areas once daily in the evening. Visible improvement in skin appearance may take 3 to 6 months of consistent use.
Typical Dosing
FDA Approved Indications
- Fine facial wrinkles
- Rough skin texture
- Hyperpigmentation caused by chronic sun exposure
Who Shouldn't Take Renova?
- Known hypersensitivity to tretinoin or any of the components in the formulation.
- Pregnancy, as tretinoin may be harmful to the developing fetus.
- Active eczema or other skin conditions that could be aggravated by retinoid use.
Advice From The Pharmacist
- Apply Renova in the evening after washing your face and allowing the skin to dry completely. Use only a pea-sized amount and spread it evenly over the face, avoiding sensitive areas like the eyes, nostrils, and lips.
- Always use a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day, as Renova can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight and increase the risk of sunburn.
- Some irritation, redness, and peeling are normal during the first few weeks of treatment, but these effects typically subside with continued use.
- If severe irritation occurs, reduce the frequency of application or consult your dermatologist.
- Avoid using other harsh skincare products (e.g., exfoliants or alcohol-based products) while using Renova.
