built 641 days ago
Retin-A is available in cream, gel, or solution form, as well as a generic version. And it comes in different strengths. For instance, Retin-A cream is available as 0.025%, 0.05%, and the strongest at 0.1%..

Though they are better than gels, the ingredients in both Retin-A creams and vitamin A creams may still dry out the skin. If you are using either type of cream and you experience a painful tightening of the skin or flaking skin, you may want to consider using another type of skin treatment.

Retin-A, containing tretinoin (sometimes called retinolic acid), derived from vitamin A, can reduce severe wrinkles within only 6-weeks and completely remove fine lines. Indeed, many expensive skin-creams currently on sale boast of their extremely minute quantities of retinolic acid!

Many dermatologists prescribe alpha-hydroxy acids in the morning and Retin-A at night to patients that want to reverse the signs of aging. Available only by prescription, Retin-A comes in 3 forms: cream, gel, or topical solution. Creams help moisturize and work well for winter weather. Gels are lighter and good for warm weather. Always follow the instructions for use. Do not use the medication more often or in greater amounts than directed because it may irritate your skin.

Renova is a reformulated version of Retin-A. Both creams contain the same active ingredient (tretinoin), but Renova benefits from greater cosmetic elegance and less tendency to cause irritation. Renova is FDA-approved only for treatment of fine wrinkling. Because of this, insurance companies often refuse to pay for this helpful “cosmetic” product. Over-the-counter products labeled “Retinol” are not equivalent to Retin-A or Renova, so don’t be fooled!

Talk with your provider to see if Retin-A is a choice for you. Be sure to report any other skin conditions such as seborrhea dermatitis, eczema, or sunburn. Also, be sure to discuss other medicines you are taking and identify any lotions, creams, or cosmetics you may be using.
