How do I use Tretinoin (Retin-A / Renova) Cream?

Tretinoin (Retin-A / Renova) is a form of vitamin A used topically to treat acne, but has also been proven to improve wrinkles. It is important you follow the advice and instructions of your GP, and regard the following as a guidline for use only.

  1. Apply a thin layer of Tretinoin (Retin-A / Renova) onto the affected area(s) before sleeping at night.
  2. The following morning, wash the treated area(s) with mild soap and a wash cloth.
  3. Next apply a decent water based moisturiser to the treated area(s) to help reduce flaking which is sometimes a side effect when using Tretinoin (Retin-A / Renova). If flaking occurs later in the day, use a wash cloth to remove flakes and apply more moisturiser.
  • When you begin using Tretinoin (Retin-A / Renova) cream, apply only every 2 or 3 nights in order to allow your skin to adjust to the medicine. This helps to prevent any possible severe flaking and/or irritation. After a short period, you may begin using it every night.
  • If flaking or irritation becomes bothersome, consult your GP. It is advisable to take a short break from using the cream, however changes to your schedule should always be done under your GP's guidance.
  • Tretinoin (Retin-A / Renova) increases your skin's risk of burning when exposed to sun. Stay out of the sun as much as possible, and cover treated skin, or use sunscreen, if you must expose the treated area(s) to the sun. As an added precaution you can use moisturiser that contains sun protection.

    Nobody wants to be spotty. It is a universal truth. Regardless of how old we become--bad skin, be it the rare zit or full blown acne--is shameful. Acne, in particular, can be a problem for us for much longer than we had counted on when we first entered puberty as young adults. For a long time we've covered our faces with high-priced chemicals and products hoping to keep the acne far from us. But what if you could clear up your skin in much easier and less harmful ways?

    No one really wants to be affected with zits. It really is just the simple truth. It doesn't matter how old we become, zits, pimples, acne -- terrible skin in whatever form it takes -- is embarrassing. Acne, in particular, can be a plague for us for considerably longer than we had counted on when we first entered puberty as young adults. We spend years slathering ourselves with every chemical and acne fighter we can find.

    No one wishes to be seriously affected with spots. It is a universal truth. It doesn't matter how old we get, zits, pimples, acne -- bad skin in any form it takes -- is shameful.

For years we have covered our faces with high-priced chemicals and products aiming to keep the acne from us.
