Drug Uses

Retin-A is often used to improve the appearance and texture of the skin. It produces a mild, superficial peel of the epidermis. Retin-A has effects on the both the superficial (epidermis) and the deep (dermis) parts of the skin. The major benefit is to decrease the effects of sunlight caused aging by increasing the speed with which the surface cells are replaced.

How Taken

Apply a thin layer to affected area once a day at bedtime. Use a gauze pad or cotton swab to apply the liquid. Wash your hands immediately after use. Using this medication more frequently or in excessive amounts does not improve the results, but may increase side effects. Avoid applying near the eyes, mouth, or open cuts since this medication can irritate sensitive skin. Acne may appear to worsen when the medication is first used; continue therapy. It may take three to six weeks before the full benefits of this medication are seen. Use mild soap when washing your face. Do not wash face excessively. Abrasive soaps, cleansers, medicated creams or lotions can increase skin irritation. Consult your doctor or pharmacist about their use. Use other acne preparations with caution while using this medication.

Warnings/Precautions

This medication can increase sensitivity to sunlight, wind and cold. Avoid prolonged exposure to the sun and sunlamps. Wear protective clothing and use an effective sunscreen. This medication should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed. It is not known if Retin-A appears in breast milk. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.

Missed Dose

If you miss a dose, use it as soon as remembered; do not use if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your usual dosing schedule. Do not "double-up" the dose to catch up.

Possible Side Effects

Due to the possibility of irritation, it is advisable to begin treatment on a small area of skin. Exposure to the sun or to ultraviolet rays causes additional irritation. During treatment, such exposure should be avoided as much as possible or a sun block should be used. During the first weeks of treatment there may be an apparent worsening of the problem. Such a reaction is perfectly normal because small cysts deep within the skin are being eliminated at an accelerated rate. This medication can increase sensitivity wind and cold. Avoid prolonged exposure to the sun and sunlamps. Wear protective clothing and use an effective sunscreen. If any ingredient should cause hypersensitivity, discontinue use.

The shares of Advanced Polymer Systems Inc. and Johnson & Johnson rose strongly today in the wake of the approval by the Food and Drug Administration of Johnson & Johnson's skin cream Renova.
Shares of Advanced Polymer were up $1.375, or 25 percent, at $6.75, in Nasdaq trading. Johnson & Johnson's shares were up $3.375, to $87.625, on the New York Stock Exchange.
Johnson & Johnson, based in New Brunswick, N.J., won approval on Tuesday from the F.D.A. to sell Renova, the first prescription cream to reduce fine facial wrinkles, brown spots and surface roughness.
Advanced Polymer, based in Redwood City, Calif., has the rights to develop second- generation products based on Renova, said Gordon Sangster, the company's controller.
Eli Kammerman, an analyst at Salomon Brothers, said that Renova should add $200 million to $250 million to Johnson & Johnson's sales in 1996. The product's market could eventually reach $500 million annually, he said.
The active ingredient in Renova is tretinoin, which is also the basis of Retin-A, the company's acne medicine.
