A313 is a French pharmacy-grade retinoid cream that helps improve skin texture, reduce wrinkles, and enhance radiance. It contains retinyl palmitate, a gentler form of vitamin A that converts into active retinoic acid over time, delivering powerful anti-aging and skin-renewing benefits without excessive irritation

Unlike pure retinol or prescription-strength tretinoin, A313 contains retinyl palmitate, which gradually converts into active retinoic acid. This makes it less irritating than tretinoin, yet still highly effective over consistent use. If tretinoin is too harsh for your skin, A313 is a perfect alternative for achieving smooth, youthful-looking skin.

Visible improvements in skin texture and brightness typically appear within 4-6 weeks. For deep wrinkle reduction, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation, noticeable changes can take 3-6 months of consistent use. Retinoids work over time, so patience and regular application are key to long-term results.

Some mild irritation (redness, dryness, or slight peeling) is common in the first few weeks as your skin adjusts (retinization period). Some users may also experience purging, where breakouts temporarily worsen as the skin speeds up its renewal process. These effects typically subside within 2-4 weeks.
To minimize irritation:

• ✔ Start with a pea-sized amount every 2-3 nights, then increase frequency.
•  ✔ Apply to dry skin and follow with a moisturizer.
• ✔ Always wear SPF 30+ during the day, as retinoids make skin more sensitive to sunlight.

Yes! A313 is milder than pure retinol or tretinoin, making it a great option for sensitive skin. If you have delicate skin, introduce it slowly (1-2 times a week initially), and always pair it with a good moisturizer. If irritation persists, reduce application frequency.

Yes, but avoid using it with strong exfoliants or acids on the same night. To prevent irritation:

🚫 Do NOT mix A313 with:

• Other retinoids (retinol, tretinoin)
• AHAs/BHAs (glycolic acid, salicylic acid)
• Benzoyl peroxide (can deactivate retinoids)

✅ Safe to pair with:

• Hyaluronic acid & ceramides (for hydration)
• Niacinamide (soothing & anti-inflammatory)
• Vitamin C (but use in the morning, A313 at night)

❌ No. Retinoids, including A313, should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to potential risks to the baby. Consult your doctor for alternative pregnancy-safe skincare ingredients like niacinamide, vitamin C, or azelaic acid.

Yes, but you must use SPF 30+ daily. Retinoids make your skin more sun-sensitive. If you're spending extended time outdoors, consider reducing application frequency or pausing use before beach vacations to avoid sun damage.

✔ Apply only at night to completely dry skin (wet skin increases irritation).
✔ Use a pea-sized amount for the whole face – more is NOT better!
✔ Follow with a moisturizer to prevent dryness.
✔ Wear sunscreen daily to protect your skin.
