(TRETINOIN CREAM)
USES
Renova is used to
improve the appearance of the skin by reducing fine lines and wrinkles, reducing
roughness and improving coloration. It can also be used to treat acne.
HOW TO USE THIS
MEDICATION
This medication 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. Cover
affected area lightly. Wash hands after use. Do not use Renova more often than
prescribed or in large 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, then improve.
