| Can someone point us to any peer-reviewed, company-independent published information that actually proves Renovage/Teprenone works as an anti-aging ingredient in skincare products? I do not know if the product/ingredient works or doesn't work, but I would like to see unbiased scientific research that supports the effectiveness of this ingredient, along with a disclosure of any possible risks or side effects. |

Here is a recent review of the active ingredient:

You can also look at Marta's website (Truth in Aging) for more information.
Renovage has been available since 2008, and is available as a DIY ingredient which means you can add it to your own moisturizer or base cream. Making Cosmetics also has a DIY recipe on their website if you are into DIY from scratch. I haven't found any independent reviews of the active, nor can I find any solid scientific evidence that the ingredient does what Sederma says it does. I guess you just have to take the manufacturer's word on that! Since Renovage has been available for so long, and since it's available in a lot of different products from many cosmetics companies I would guess that it's not quite a miracle ingredient, contrary to what the reviews on this thread are saying (but that's just my humble opinion). |

I know that Hannah of SkinActives is an unpopular person in some quarters (I have had no interactions with her so am agnostic on that score) but her comment here sums up what I've found so far on this miracle ingredient.

You will find, on many websites selling some version of the stuff, a reference to telomeres (legitimate peer-reviewed research) followed by some hand-waving "and this is how we got Renovage." Yeah, whatever. I like how they sort of piggybacked on another proven brand name, Renova, to give their product an enhanced aura of authenticity. Renova, yes, Renovage, um, questionable. |

I haven't been able to find any peer reviewed information on Renovage. However have incorporated it into DIY formulations before and have never really received many results from using it. If you would like to try it at a low cost you might want to look into lotion crafter as they sell the active at a very affordable price (I bought mine from there). If you do decide to go this route please update with any results you have  |
