However, the product receives mixed feedback about its thickness, with some finding it very thick while others consider it stronger than alternatives like Differin. Moreover, customers report mixed experiences with skin irritation, noting it brightens skin but can cause tingling and itching, and while some find it moisturizing, others say it feels greasy. Additionally, the product has a strong smell that customers find unpleasant.

My fave night time skin product
I LOVE this stuff! I NEVER post reviews so please take my rec and buy the cream!Pros: AMAZING skin texture, itâs helping out my hyperpigmentation and melasma, and keeping breakouts down. When used right, super comfortable to sleep in. I wake up with the plumpest, glowing skin and after a wash and sunscreen, Iâm ready for the day! I have sensitive skin and this product does not irritate my skin if used correctly (see tips).Cons: It doesnât smell that great but not at all bad. It smells like how Vaseline smells but different. Itâs also thick but donât be tempted to use more (see tips).Tips/Advice:1. It WILL itch if you use a lot. Made that mistake one night and washed it off my face within 5 minutes. PEA SIZED AMOUNT or LESS, please heed my warning! It will spread out just fine with the warmth of your face but again, less is more with this product (and will stretch your dollars farther)!2. Donât use it on a wet face as water, water-based products, and liquid products will make it itch/sting/tingle (this is my experience at least). I use it just before Iâm ready to go to bed (it stays on my nightstand) and I apply a little bit before I go to sleep. This is so any products I use at night have time to dry down on my face. Itâs my last step in my night time routine. Make sure you wash it off in the morning and USE SUNSCREEN!3. Build up to using it more often. I can comfortably now use it every other night but it took me a whole month to get to a point where I wasnât worried about any reactions. (I only had one reaction tho and that was my own fault.) With any new skincare product, you SHOULD let your skin acclimate to the ingredients and formulas. This product is definitely controversial in the reviews but donât let it scare you. Just take the precaution and build up your tolerance for it before wearing it every single night off the bat. Itâs really concentrated so again, take your time and only use a pea-sized amount or less. Iâm talking a small pea too, or like the size of a peppercorn!Hope this is helpful. I will update with a âbefore and afterâ after more time using. Iâve been using it for a month and have already noticed phenomenal difference in my skin. Give it time, build up to using it more often, and wear your sunscreen. I REPEAT, WEAR YOUR SUNSCREEN.

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!

Love this
This is my second time using A313 cream, and I continue to be impressed with the results. It has really improved the texture and appearance of my skin â smoother, clearer, and more radiant. I use it at night, and by morning my skin feels soft, refreshed, and glowing. It helps with fine lines, breakouts, and overall skin tone. A little goes a long way, and I love that itâs effective but gentle. Iâll definitely keep repurchasing!

Use precaution with this product
I used this a couple of times and noticed my skin complexion getting better but it also irritated my skin. My skin would tingle and as the evening progressed, it became very itchy and it did really hurt to keep it on. So I started using it for only 20-30min at night. This still irritated my skinâ¦..so taking a little break to and let my skin refresh. Possibly go back to using it only 2 times a week.

Greasy
This has the texture and consistency of like vaccine or straight up Vaseline. It never soaks in even after numerous hours. The retinol concentration is also apparently extremely low. It was recommended to me; wish I had researched it better myself.

Valid Face Card
With a name like A313, I knew I had to try it. This product is amazing. It has created even tone skin, healthy looking skin for me. It has also minimize the folds and wrinkles on my forehead and brought life back to the skin underneath and around my eyes. When I first started using it, I felt a little tingle, but it didn’t last long and it wasn’t unbearable. Within a day or two, the tingle went away. I use this product everyday and I have it on subscription so I’ll never be without it. It’s a game changer.

Not the same A313 sold in France.
This is not the same A313 from France. I have been using the product I bought in Paris in September 2024 for 9 months without issue and with great results. Tonight, I used the tube I purchased from Amazon for the first time and noticed the texture was different. When I used it on my face, my skin immediately turned alarmingly bright red all over and was very hot. I washed my face several times to take it off. Amd my skin is still reacting. On closer look, the ingredients are different. This is not only wrong, but could be dangerous. Disappointed and hoping to get my money back.

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!

Amazing stuff and everyone should have this on their skin routine. I use every other day and my skin is the best itâs ever been – advice; applied to wet moisturised skin, cos it tingles!

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.

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.

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.
