A313 Pommade

Brother and SIL were going to France for their honeymoon. Since I couldn't tag along, it made sense to make them bring back some French products.

Other than Klorane Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk which costs like 1/3 there (I think), I ordered a cheap retinol cream, A313. Need to start fighting wrinkles! It works by stimulating collagen production. I have read about people using Retin A, but that requires a prescription and I'm too lazy and cheapo to do that. Retinol is available OTC, but I haven't seen any product that's purely retinol, without other ingredients that I'm not interested in. A313 is the answer! The original hot product is Avibon, but it's now extinct. A313 is the closest match.

Yup, it's really a tubeful of vitamin A.

Product insert in French only.

It's really greasy. Of course, vitamin A is oil-soluble. I was afraid that it might clog my pores, but it didn't! I like that it's odorless. People say just a pea size for the whole face. Since I only apply on the places with wrinkles, I use much less. I think it's gonna last me 10 years.

My neck got itchy from it, so I couldn't use it too often there.

9 months on, I think I still look pretty much the same, so I guess it works?
