Yes, Renova has a more emollient base to combat peeling/drying in contrast to Retin-A. They both contain tretinoin though.

I am currently …
I am currently researching about all retinol products and you are 100% right! Retin-A and Renova have exactly the same ingredients just different bases! Renova is for drier skin because the base is made more moisturizing but they say it will not be that great for oilier and acne prone skins as it might cause break outs.

Retin-A and Renova …
Retin-A and Renova both contain the same active ingredient, Tretinoin. The difference is the base (inactive ingredients) and that Renova has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of lines and wrinkles. I do wish skin care “experts” would do their research before giving out the wrong information!

Thanks for the info …
Thanks for the info!
I’ve been reading about retinoids in Dr.Leslie Baumann’s book “The Skin Type Solution”.
They sound like amazing substances!
I’m looking forward to seeing what they can do with the fine lines which striate my forehead.
sigh…why didn’t I wear sunscreen while I was working construction and tree planting.
…well. i guess because i just didn’t know how damaging the sun’s rays are.
i do now. : (
I wish some kindly adults had told me irrefutably that the sun wrinkles skin.

the more balanced …
the more balanced it is though and the less it breaks out. I now use it 2-3 times a week when I don’t use the retin a and leave it on all night. LOVE IT!Try it on just a part of your face and see if it works for you. Cleopatra used it, so I guess it can’t be all that bad : )

I really thought it …
I really thought it would! Of course I’m in my 30’s so it might break someone out who has acne prone skin. I’m using the retin a for anti aging not acne. I have found that the more moisturized my skin is,

I’ve been using …
I’ve been using olive oil on my skin everyday for about an hours before I wash it off,(wash my face at night, slather on olive oil, then wash it off an hour or longer later then retin A) and I have absolutely no irritation from the retin a…i’m also on my 3rd day. If you don’t want to use oil, be sure you are using a good moisturizer everyday.

No!!! Do not use …
No!!! Do not use ANYTHING else while on accutane. Accutane is pretty much VERY high dosage of Vitamin A (retin-a) and adding any more to yourself can be extremely dangerous

I’m on this right now- 3rd day and LOTS of peeling,burning, and feelings of dryness throughout my face. I really hope I get used to this-sometimes things need to get worse before it gets better..im hoping that this is the case.

Make sure to wear sunscreen daily if you are using Retin-A.
