    Thanks for the info!

    I’ve been reading about retinoids in Dr.Leslie Baumann’s book “The Skin Type Solution”.
    They sound like amazing substances!
    I’m looking forward to seeing what they can do with the fine lines which striate my forehead.

    sigh…why didn’t I wear sunscreen while I was working construction and tree planting.
    …well. i guess because i just didn’t know how damaging the sun’s rays are.
    i do now. : (

    I wish some kindly adults had told me irrefutably that the sun wrinkles skin.

    Retin-A and Renova both contain the same active ingredient, Tretinoin. The difference is the base (inactive ingredients) and that Renova has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of lines and wrinkles. I do wish skin care “experts” would do their research before giving out the wrong information!

    Renova is better for your skin!

    I am currently researching about all retinol products and you are 100% right! Retin-A and Renova have exactly the same ingredients just different bases! Renova is for drier skin because the base is made more moisturizing but they say it will not be that great for oilier and acne prone skins as it might cause break outs.

    omg! retin-a and renova are both tretinoin. why did she say you can find it with natural skin care products. geez. they are both rx products. im 23 and have been on retin-a and tazorac since 17. i love the results and i get an enormous amount of compliments on my skin. i use it every other night now.

    Yes, Renova has a more emollient base to combat peeling/drying in contrast to Retin-A. They both contain tretinoin though.

    does it help get rid of brown marks from acne? like when i had acne and didnt do anything to it and went away it just turned into a brown mark, but it’s not like a ice pick scar or anything.

    i use retin a gel 0.025 works great for my acne use every other night i agree because that stuff will make you peel like crazy. burns like a sob as well. you will notice new membranes on the surface but they clear up. its all the same thing but it comes in cream and gel gel being the best.

    Yes, retin-a actually helps with skin redness/rosacea but you should get the lowest dosage so as to not aggravate your skin :)

    I have used Retin A for 25 years. 47 years old and not a single line or wrinkle on my face. Three years ago started using Retin A like lotion on chest arms trunk and legs with great results. Retin A also works on lips. NEVER use Retin A has a daytime product.

    A very good doctor. I have been acne prone since 12 years of age then I had an organ transplant and was put on immunosuppressice drugs which can make you very prone to skin cancers and..came along retin A micro. The best part is Reti A is the best anti aging cream on the market. Living proff here!
