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!

Renova is better for your skin!

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.

omg! retin-a and renova are both tretinoin. why did she say you can find it with natural skin care products. geez. they are both rx products. im 23 and have been on retin-a and tazorac since 17. i love the results and i get an enormous amount of compliments on my skin. i use it every other night now.

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

does it help get rid of brown marks from acne? like when i had acne and didnt do anything to it and went away it just turned into a brown mark, but it's not like a ice pick scar or anything.
