    Hello Bees!

    I am going to see my dermatologist today and I am interested in asking him for a prescription for Renova.  It's a form of Retin-A (I believe) and supposedly it helps with fine lines and wrinkles and acne.  Have any of you tried it?  What do you think of it?

    @Miss Olive: I have been using Renova for about 2 months now.  According to my Derm and the perscription info that it takes a full 6-7 months to see full results and diminished fine lines.  But, so far so good.  I had some initial dryness and peeling, but am noticing smoother looking skin at this stage.  At 28, I don't have too many wrinkles, but was willing to give the only FDA approved wrinkle fighter a shot :)

    It is pricey ($150-$175/tube), but my pump has lasted 2 months so far...I just try to think about how much I used to spend at Sephora on various creams and such.

    Also, try not to use it with anything else that would dry your skin.  A gentle clenser and moisturizing an hour after application has helped me a lot. Hope that help some!
