Retin-A Avita and Renova contain the skin medication tretinoin. Retin-A and Avita are used in the treatment of acne. Renova is prescribed to reduce fine wrinkles discoloration and roughness on facial skin (as part of a comprehensive program of skin care and sun avoidance).

Retin-A is available in liquid cream or gel form and in a stronger gel called Retin-A Micro. Avita comes only as a gel. Renova is available in cream form only.

RETIN-A AND AVITA

Apply once a day at bedtime.

You should begin to notice results after 2 to 3 weeks of treatment. More than 6 or 7 weeks of treatment are needed before consistent beneficial effects appear.

Once acne has responded satisfactorily it may be possible to maintain the improvement with less frequent applications or other dosage forms. However any change in formulation drug concentration or dose frequency should be closely monitored by your doctor to determine your tolerance and response.

RENOVA

Apply just enough to lightly cover the affected area once daily at bedtime. Do not apply more than the recommended amount; it will not improve results and may cause increased discomfort. You will see the most improvement during the first 24 weeks of therapy. After that Renova will simply maintain the improvement. When therapy is stopped the improvement may gradually diminish.
