    Difference Between Renova nd Retin A

    Started 5 years ago by jen
    Latest reply from sara30

    I do think that Renova is usually given for wrinkles,hyperpigmentation... and Retin-A for acne. Both medications do have Tretinoin in them, so I am not sure why one is given for acne and the other for wrinkles. I think the Renova is a cream? Maybe this one is given for people with more dry skin and Retin-a for those with oily skin (usually acne prone). This is just a wild guess. I wonder if Retin-a is in a gel usually? Do you have acne prone skin that tends to also be dry?

    Comment pls

    Well yes Retin A is a gel and according to my information it is prescribed to people with severe acne conditions.

    Renova on the other hand is a cream based medication and is mostly used to clear away sking from blemishes, wrinkles , discolouration etc.

    I guess FastG is correct. I posted a query for the cure of blemishes on my skin and a user recommended using renova as it is very effective in this regard.

    well renova for sure correct blemishes etc but am not sure of retin a does so.. I've heard that the side bearing retinaA is really a tough task. The skingets itchy and peels during the first few weeks.

    well yes retin A sure is difficult to bear in the first few weeks.. but then if it suits you well the end results are praiseworthy.
