Learning curve to this cream. Worth every penny!
This works great!! Just give it a month. A few things you should know about this before trying and quitting using it. You have to use this on a completely dry face. It can sting otherwise. I wash, moisturize, then get ready for bed and about 5 min later put it on. I will be honest, itâs sticky like Vaseline and the smell is slightly off putting. Start slow. At first use it once a week for a few weeks, then two for a few more, then work your way up to more. No more than once every 2/3 days. I have decently sensitive skin and doing it that way caused no pain or tingles. I noticed a small change after one use, but after a few months I feel Iâm aging backwards. Iâm 47 and have been starting to notice old face skin things, but this has made me look and feel like Iâm aging backwards. My skin has turned soooo soft and itâs only been 2 months! Itâs expensive now but it lasts for months, so really itâs only about $10/month to make such a difference. We spend that much on a coffee or a cocktail and they do nothing for us! Iâm not one who freaks out or does much for anti aging but decided to try this. Itâs effective and way cheaper than Botox or surgery. Not that i would ever consider those. Just eat good for you foods, get outside, exercise a bit, smile some, and use this cream! Youâll be young âforeverâ!

ITS WORTH THE HYPE!!!
This was a genuine branded product. I’ve tried probably hundreds of different skin care serums, patches, creams, and ointments that supposedly reduce fine lines and this is the ONLY product that I’ve seen results from. I am 46, light fair skinned and my face has some sun damage (freckles & dark spots), laugh lines, some loose skin under my eyes that are causing wrinkles and I have a coupe fine lines in between my brows. Well let me correct that: i USED to have a couple fine lines between my brows but I don’t any longer because after using this ointment for 3 weeks every night they have since disappeared. This ointment has drastically reduced my laugh lines and softened the larger wrinkles under my eyes.Warning!!!! If your face isn’t used to retinol u may want to use sparingly and start off slow not using everyday. This doesn’t dry my skin out. When I apply it I can sometimes feel a slight tingle/burn under my eyes and around my temples. Also if u have long hair u may want to pull it back and put on a head band because your hair will stick to your face. You can layer products over this. After washing my face I use toner then let it soak in and then use this product. If I don’t use toner, this product is the 1st layer of my skin care routine. I will continue to use this product

Only 1 complaint
So I was skeptical after reading all the bad reviews. But I ordered it anyways. So let me first off explain this is a thick cream like Aquaphor. If you like putting Aquaphor on your face then you will love this product. Iâm use to using Aquaphor and beef tallow before bed. I like like thick creams like this. A313 will absorb into your skin. Itâs only thick until it absorbs. I did have a couple spots that were itchy but I just rubbed them I did not scratch. I did notice and this is my only complaint I felt like it left a powder or film on my face. Not sure if anyone else experienced this. But I noticed when I woke up my face was not soft but it was tight. I think over time using this will help with my fine lines. But ima keep using it to find out. Hope this revue helps. Itâs to expensive to just roll the dice and purchase. If you donât like the vaseline filling on your face then this product is not for you.

Disappointing Texture and Sensation, Awaiting Results
I have recently started using this product and, although I haven’t been using it long enough to see significant results, I do have some initial impressions. Firstly, the texture of the product is quite thick and it leaves my skin feeling greasy and sticky. Additionally, I’ve noticed a tingling sensation on my face after application, which is somewhat uncomfortable. Based on my experience so far, I am hesitant to order again unless I see amazing results. Overall, it’s been a mixed experience for me at this point.

Ahhh-mazing!!! ð ð ð ð
This stuff is Ahhh-mazing but has went up a lil over $25 since purchasing last time May of2024 when it was only $18.99. That’s crazy!!! And ridiculous!!! But I have been using this about 2 or 3 ties a wk since then. I combine it with the Amazon basics moisturizer that looks like the dupe for Neutrogena that way it’s not so harsh & doesn’t feel like complete Vaseline on my face. But It has helped so much. I make sure my face is completely dry before putting the mixture on to avoid redness & itching. It has definitely been like a magic potion because it has helped alot with my fine lines, few wrinkles I have, & even zits. I’m 43 & definitely do not look it. And sometimes I jus use it as a spot treatment for zits & it makes them better by like the next day. And my skin isn’t greasy the next day & so smooth, soft feeling. This stuff is jus Ahhh-mazing!!!! If u haven’t tried it you definitely should. It’s great but unfortunately is $44 now instead of only $18.99. And yes, the $18.99 was the original the same as this not any of the fake ones out there. It was by Pharma development jus like this with French writing on it jus like this. But definitely try this! ððððââââââââââð

It can tingle/sting, so use sparingly
Im a flight attendant and all the other FAâs talk about this amazing cream from France and swear by it. So I bought some from Amazon cause Paris isnât one of my routes. I used very little around my eyes before bed (feels like Vaseline petroleum jelly) and boy did it tingle/sting/burn. I had to get up from bed to wash it off after 20 min. I have sensitive skin and was warned this can tingle and to use very little. All my fellow FAâs confirm it works and it looks like it works on them . I just canât tolerate the itching I get.

Gute Retinol Creme . Ich benutze sie im Gesicht und an den Händen. 2-3 mal pro Woche abends. Dünn auftragen, sparsam im Gebrauch. Macht schon nach wenigen Anwendungen ein weiches und ebenmässiges Hautbild. Empfehlenswert!

I am 58 years old. I have been applying A313 four out of seven nights a week-the nights before I go to work. I do not have any issues with excessive stinging or redness; so I am not mixing it with my face cream. It feels a bit like petroleum jelly when it first goes on; hence the use throughout the night. When you wake up in the morning, your skin is so smooth and soft. And I saw results the very first day I had used it. The lines at the corners of my eyes, the bags under my eyes and the loose skin on my neck where all much less noticeable. I am loving how youthful it is making me look and feel. I only wish it would have a more permanent effect. I lasts about 8-12 hours for me. But perhaps after I use it for several months, I might see longer-term changes.

As a 54-year-old retinol ‘connoisseur,’ I had high hopes for A313 given some of the celebrity hype.I’m currently using it every 2-3 nights, depending on how my sensitive, reactive skin feels.While it does leave my skin smooth and nicely refined, the texture takes some getting used to. Itâs quite thick and needs to be warmed in your hands before applying so that the skin doesn’t drag. It also feels slightly tacky after application, which might not be for everyone. Even though it’s not the most drying retinol treatment, there’s sometimes a slight tingle, and I usually slather a thick night cream over it to mitigate the drying effects. And – in spite of the ‘miracle’ hype – the retinol content is actually very low compared with some other products, so it’ll never be a silver bullet for aging (though that also makes this a good option for first-time users).I haven’t experienced the usual flakiness/tingling which often come with a new retinol product or huge outbreak of reactivity (the odd aggravating ‘purging pimple’). Whether it meets the hype, I guess, really depends on your skin type and age – and it hasn’t worked miracles because nothing does, especially for the incredibly reasonable price. Worth a try for anyone who doesnât mind the slightly ‘medical’ texture and smudges on the pillow case.

I have been using the cream for about 3 weeks and had never used a retinoid before. I wanted to give it a try because I’d heard very good things about it and it contain retinyl esters and not retinol, so I figured that it could be suitable for beginners too. I started by using a a pea-sized amount and buffered by using a moisturiser first, followed by the cream. I broke out in the first two weeks which I believe was a “retinol purge”. I only had some very minor irritation. I used it twice a week in the first couple of weeks and have now increased to three times. It’s too early to say anything about results but the break outs are gone now and my skin has a good complexion the morning after applying the cream. I mainly wanted to leave a review on how to start. So if you’re not super sensitive and start carefully by buffering first, you can use this cream even if you’ve never used a retinol before.
