Avage Cream is for treating skin damaged by overexposure to the sun.
AVAGE was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2002 as an adjunctive agent in the topical treatment of facial fine wrinkling, mottled facial hypo- and hyper-pigmentation (blotchy skin discoloration), and benign facial lentigines (flat patches of skin discoloration) in patients using a comprehensive skin care and sunlight avoidance program.
AVAGE does not eliminate or prevent wrinkles, repair sun-damaged skin, reverse photoaging, or restore more youthful or younger skin. Clinical studies have proven that AVAGE Cream provides significant visible results when used as part of a total skin care and sunlight avoidance program.
AVAGE cream contains the retinoid tazarotene in an emollient cream formulation. Retinoids are powerful compounds chemically related to vitamin A. Although scientists do not know how tazarotene works, they believe it works below the skin's surface to provide proven visible results. Research has shown that retinoids such as tazarotene work below the skin's surface to reduce facial fine wrinkles, fade aging spots, and even skin tone.
