A313 Vitamin A Pommade from France! What you need to know!
What is A313?
A313 is a coveted pommade from France filled with vitamin A. The little aluminum tube carries 200,000 UI concentrate of vitamin A. It has been compared to the European version of tretinoin or retin-A (but no prescription is needed). A313 claims to treat everything from wrinkles, pigmentation, actinic keratosis, acne, and oily skin.
History lesson: A313 is the new formulation of the product “Avibon.” Before, people needed to stock up on A313 while visiting France, just as you do with their sunscreen, but now you can buy it on Amazon! (worldwide shipping with overseas packaging included! see a picture of my package below!)
I decided to order a tube of A313 on Amazon and test it out! After I waited about 3-4 weeks, my A313 package finally arrived! The return address even says “Spain!”
The A313 package looks a little beaten up, like it definitely travelled a long distance. I could not wait to open the tube and test out the feel of the product.
What does A313 feel like?
The consistency feels like vaseline. It feels more emollient and light than I expected it to be. It has a strong smell, like glue. The after-feel is slightly sticky.
My take on it:
The formula of A313 is not as strong as the prescription Tretinoin or Retin A, therefore this could be great for skin types that want a more emollient formula of vitamin A.
