DESCRIPTION

RESTOCK COMING TONIGHT

The A313 Vitamin A Retinol Pommade 50g is a renowned French cult favourite loved by celebrities worldwide, offering the secret to ageless-looking skin. This pharmaceutical-grade ointment harnesses the power of Vitamin A in the gentle form of Retinyl Palmitate (Retinol/Vitamin A), a Retinol Ester. This ingredient, present at 0.11% concentration, helps to reduce fine lines and refine skin texture. The unique, rich pomade texture locks in moisture, allowing the active ingredients to penetrate deeply for enhanced efficacy. This formulation is carefully designed to offer low irritation, making it perfect for Vitamin A beginners and those with sensitive skin who desire visible anti-ageing results without the typical flakiness. A313 Pommade works to gently renew the skin, stimulate collagen, and enhance radiance.

The authentic A313 is available exclusively at French Beauty Co, the only official reseller in Australia. Pharma Developpement is the manufacturer in France.

APPLICATION

Apply a small amount and warm it between your hands before applying to the face. Use on the face, neck and décolletage.

lf skin becomes red or irritated, discontinue use immediately and wash with water.

Pro Tip: After applying A313, you can follow up with a soothing and hydrating moisturiser like Embryolisse Lait Creme Sensitive or SVR Cicavit+ to help your skin adapt to this active treatment. Applying a small amount of Homeoplasmine Multi-Purpose Ointment around the eyes and folds of the nose before application of A313 can help prevent any irritation.

FRENCH 101

Did you know that it's one of French women's best kept secrets to use over-the-counter affordable retinol creams in their daily routine? The little story is that Avibon cream was made popular by Gwyneth Paltrow in 2012 on her website Goop! and started the trend in the USA for French retinol creams. Soon after that A313 also got discovered by international tourists visiting French pharmacies. In the most recents years A313 became trending on Tik Tok helping to further develop the popularity of the brand overseas.

"I’ve used a lot of Vitamin As in my time, but I’ve never used one with this texture or one this gentle, I use it almost every night now. Its unique pommade texture warms on contact, locking in moisture so the active ingredients can work deeper. It’s a French beauty secret for a reason: you get consistent, long-term results with no irritation, no flakiness, and no purging. I can’t say enough good things about it."

Great service, fast delivery

New staple

This cream is amazing, I have extremely sensitive and reactive skin and have struggled to find anything it would tolerate which is how 8 discovered french skincare. Finally an active I can safely use. The consistency does take some getting used too but it really melts in after a while. Starting slow and building up to daily use but can already see results.

A313 dream cream

Wow, definitely a little goes a long way. I've only started on my journey using this cream. I look forward to seeing progress.

Amazing stuff for first time retinol users!

I love this stuff. I use a thin layer just on my t zone, my acne scars have cleared up, and when I wake up my skin feels soo smooth and amazing. I don’t use a whole lot because it’s really thick, just dab on a thin layer a couple of hours before bed.

Wow. Strong so ease into it.

All the amazing

There is a reason this is sold out. She really lives up to the hype! I’m using this as a once a week treat for my face and because fomo. Kind of a dream for my sensitive skin which was left smooth and hydrated. Gorgeous product.

Gentle but effective

I’m not new to retinol , so happily use this without reaction. A little goes a long way happy it’s available in Australia now; much easier to obtain

Excellent

Have been super impressed with this retinol, my skin has been plumper, clearer and brighter since using. I do get a bit of an itch, but it's totally manageable.

The texture is quite thick, and it's not something you'll apply right before going to bed.

Outstanding

I’m so pleased to see A313 available through French Beauty Co.! It’s the reason I discovered French Beauty Co. in the first place since it’s quite possibly the most talked about French pharmacy product. I tried it years ago and it wasn’t for me then, but it is magic in a tube for me now!

I’ve been experiencing some peri-menopausal hormonal acne that has been really difficult to manage. I started making some progress with a benzoyl peroxide face wash and a serum from Avene specifically for hormonal acne, but the scarring and redness just wasn’t fading. After my first night using A313 I noticed significant improvement. It truly works wonders! My pores are clearer, the expression lines around my eyes are gone and my skin looks clear, plump and vibrant. Putting foundation on in the morning I feel like I’ve already used a primer when I haven’t - my skin is just perfectly smooth. It’s amazing.

BUT… be warned. If your skin is not properly retinized, you need to proceed very carefully with this potent treatment. Make sure your skin is completely dry before applying (very important) and if you haven’t used retinol products before, this is not the one to start with. The first time I tried A313 years ago I could not stand the itch. But having used different retinol treatments over the past few years, I now have no itchiness with A313. This time around I also don’t have the dryness I’ve had previously with other retinol products. Truly, magic in a tube!

Fantastic product, great company to deal with?
