Why does insurance pay for Viagra but not Renova? I have peri-menopausal acne (the scarring kind), not a lot of wrinkles and straight up Retina-A eats my skin, so I have to use Renova. Renova is just a super weak version of Retin-A in a very emollient base that is marketed as an anti-wrinkle cream for middle aged ladies (and men too I suppose). It works wonders on the acne but I have to pay full price for it and it is not cheap. Doesn't insurance pay for acne medications for teens? Waahhhhhhhh.
I sometimes look at my array skin care products and think, "when did I become the Queen of Sheba?" One lotion to cleanse but not irritate, another potion to clean my eyelids (for the blepharitis and dry eyes), a lotion to moisturize the spots that aren't oily, then the Renova. I belong to the cult of Cetaphil so I can get everything at a drugstore or my beloved Target but geez. I don't even wear a whole lot of make up -- when did I become so high maintenance? Remember when a camping trip required a bar of soap, toothpaste and a toothbrush? Ha!
