The Best Place To Find The Cheapest Renova
|
Drug name:
Renova
Renova (tretinoin
emollient cream 0.05%) contains the same active
ingredient as RETIN-A. It is a vitamin A
derivative like the one naturally occurring in
your body. But while RETIN-A is formulated for
acne-prone skin, RENOVA is a rich emollient cream
developed specifically for treating fine lines and
wrinkles, brown spots, surface roughness and
stretch marks that develop on the abdominal wall
in women after pregnancy. |

How does this medication work?
RENOVA-A works by binding to
specific cell receptors of skin after a topical
application. After the cellular receptors have been
activated there is a modification in gene expression,
subsequent protein synthesis and cell growth and
differentiation. Thus, the epidermal cell is modified to
produce a greater amount of new mature healthy skin. In
clinical studies there is an enhanced production of
collagen in areas of treated skin.
Unlike
over-the-counter wrinkle creams that simply exfoliate
the surface layer of skin, RENOVA is believed to work on
all layers of the skin, including the epidermis, where
pigmentary changes occur and even the deeper portions of
the skin where fine wrinkling is thought to begin.
Medical research has shown in published articles that
RENOVA increases collagen. Researchers believe this is
one way that RENOVA reduces the signs of aging.
How effective is this medication?
In clinical studies looking at the
efficacy of RENOVA 60% of patients treated for 24
weeks saw at least some decrease in fine facial
wrinkling. The effect on coarse facial wrinkling,
mottled hyperpigmentation, skin roughness, and laxity of
the facial skin were less clear since the effect seen on
each patient varied from study to study.
A study in
the Archives of Dermatology, May 1996, showed that
RENOVA cream significantly improved the appearance of
early stretch marks. RENOVA worked best on stretch marks that were new
or enlarging, such as those that develop during
pregnancy.
How to use this medication:
RENOVA is for use on the face as
directed, 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.
Wash your hands after use. Do not use this medication
more often than prescribed or in larger amounts. It will
not give you faster or better results but will increase
the risk of side effects. Do not use on sunburn or
eczema or other serious skin conditions. Effects of this
medication 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, and then
improve.
Renova timeline:

and a softer texture to your skin
3-4 months: freckles and brown spots
begin to fade. Fine lines and wrinkles begin to
diminish. A rosier glow to your skin is obtained
6 months: Benefits should be apparent
with fewer wrinkles and smoother and more even toned
skin
