Gradual but serious improvement
While everyone's skin is different, if you follow your doctor's instructions on how to use RENOVA, you'll most likely start seeing some results within 1 to 2 months. Be patient! It takes time to achieve the full benefits of using RENOVA. And keep in mind, RENOVA should be used as part of a total skin care regimen that includes a gentle cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen with SPF (sun protection factor) of 15 or higher.

Months 1-2
A new beginning
During the first two months, you may notice a smoother and softer texture to your skin. It's also possible you will not see any changes at this stage. You may also experience redness, itching, dryness or flaking. Hang in there! This effect is most often mild and most commonly occurs when RENOVA is first started. Very likely, as you continue to use RENOVA any signs of irritation should subside. If not, or if irritation is severe, contact your doctor. He or she may recommend various other options, including using RENOVA less often.

Months 3-4
Your progress builds
Fine wrinkles should begin to diminish. Your skin may now have a more vibrant glow. People may begin complimenting you on your skin's appearance. Remember, if the expiration date marked on your tube of RENOVA has passed, discard the tube and refill your prescription according to your doctor’s instructions.

Months 5-6
Your patience pays off
The major benefits of RENOVA should be apparent. Among your visible results: fine wrinkles may be diminished (note: RENOVA 0.05% users may also notice brown spots have faded). Skin may be softer, more radiant, more naturally toned. In effect, your skin may have changed.

RENOVA is ongoing therapy
After you complete 6 months of therapy, you will want to continue to use RENOVA as a part of your total skin care regimen in order to maintain the benefits you have achieved. Your doctor will determine the length of therapy right for you.
