I have been using Renova since April 21..I have noticed something unusual, to me anyway..after washing my face,my skin has a definite reflection,as though it is oily,but does not feel so..is that due to new skin revealing itself ? Also,I am having slight flaking with the .05%(had none with.02%) and the book says to mix a few drops of serum with the Renova before applying..my serum is gel based,not liquid..would you say a small dab should suffice or would it be best to just apply the Renova,wait,and apply moisturizer over?thanks...

Lynn,

That's "radiance." You're right. It's new skin revealing itself. When people say they can always tell when someone's using RetinA, I believe that's what they mean. That's perfect skin! Congratulations!

I probably wouldn't mix the .05 with serum, but that's just me. You could go to every other day for a while or something.

woo hoo! music to my ears!! I did put a dab of serum in last night..you know,at first when I started the .05%,I was amazed at how emoillent it was,more so than .02%,but now ,even it seems not to spread as well..I pat it on ,like you said to ,but I don't feel like a pea size is enough..when I put a dab of serum in,it really helped to spread it further..I hate to use more than a pea size of Renova tho..I will try every other day .
