Reonva Directions? |
|
| |
Using Renova as part of a complete skin care program has been proven to reverse the signs of sun damage or aging. It works by improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It also helps smooth roughened skin and improves mottled skin discolorations.
Apply Renova to the face one time a day. Bedtime is recommended. Clean and dry your face thoroughly before applying. Avoid getting Renova in your eyes, nose, or mouth. Wash your hands after use. Do not use Renova more often than recommended, or in greater amounts, since it will increase your risk of negative side effects. |

Reonva Side Effects? |
|
| |
When you begin applying Renova, you may experience some mild side effects as your skin gets used to the medication. These may include skin irritation such as burning, stinging, or redness, as well as dry skin, scaling, or peeling. If you do not feel that these side effects are going away after a while, stop using Renova and speak to your dermatologist.
Renova should not be used with skin that has sun burn or other serious skin conditions such as eczema. You will experience a gradual improvement in your skin, and see the most results within six months of use. You may notice that your acne worsens at first, but it will then begin showing improvement.

Reonva Drug Interactions? |
|
| |
Before using Renova, list all medications you are using for your physician. This includes over the counter products. Because Renova causes increased sunlight sensitivity, do not use it together with anything that contains isoRetin-A, amiodarone, tetracycline or quinolone antibiotics, sulfa drugs or phenothiazines, because they also increase your light sensitivity.
Renova should not be combined with any other facial products that lead to dry skin. Do not use soaps or cleansers that are not very mild or which contain ingredients such as alcohol, minoxidil, or Benzoyl peroxide.
