Is Renova ok for the Under Eye and Neck area?

Answer 1

No - do not apply Renova under your eyes nor on your neck. The active ingredient (tretinoin) can irritate your eyes badly.

Renova should only be used on the face - be sure to avoid "ears, nostrils, angles of the nose & mouth." These areas, your neck and under eye area have thinner, more sensitive skin.
