Worth it
A lot of reviewers are calling it bogus. But feel like they haven’t really given it a chance.I don’t like posting pics of myself, so I’m sorry in advance. But the difference in my skin between two weeks ago and today is stellar. Maybe this stuff just works great with me. Because the two lines in my forehead I’ve always struggled with have 70% faded. My skin is glowing and people have noticed. I hardly use any foundation anymore (1 dot on either cheek below the eye, just because). And it has only been a couple of weeks.It’s not that expensive. Not compared to the stuff I’ve been buying, so I was down to try it. And it works.Yes, it’s thick. But I spray on toner which makes it glide nicely into my skin.The first time I tried it, my skin tingled for about 5 mins. But that went away after a couple of days.This is worth trying.

Pomade for your face
Ive been using this pomade for the last 2 weeks (only before bed) and i have seen a drastic change in my skin. Softer, less visible pores, not itchy in drier spaces, and my fine lines and wrinkles are shrinking.I use other products during the day but i feel like this has had a great effect on my skin. The texture of the pomade is almost like a vasoline. It might be a little on the pricey side but this is a pomade. You only need a pea size drop to get your whole face. If you use too much, your face will be sticky / greasy and feel heavy. You won’t need to buy this often.I feel like this is a tried and true quality cream and worth every penny.

Itchy Face
I have really acne prone skin, so I know this good for my skin. It doesn’t feel sticky but it does make me itch. I have yet to be able to sleep with it on my face, instead I’ve treated it like a mask, 🤣 I’ve tried a lot of the suggestions from online. (Less product. Use on super dry skin.) nothing has made it itch less. Some people say it takes time, so we shall see! I do feel luxurious when I use it.

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, it’s 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 I’m aging backwards. I’m 47 and have been starting to notice old face skin things, but this has made me look and feel like I’m aging backwards. My skin has turned soooo soft and it’s only been 2 months! It’s expensive now but it lasts for months, so really it’s 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! I’m not one who freaks out or does much for anti aging but decided to try this. It’s 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! You’ll be young “forever”!

It can tingle/sting, so use sparingly
Im a flight attendant and all the other FA’s talk about this amazing cream from France and swear by it. So I bought some from Amazon cause Paris isn’t one of my routes. I used very little around my eyes before bed (feels like Vaseline petroleum jelly) and boy did it tingle/sting/burn. I had to get up from bed to wash it off after 20 min. I have sensitive skin and was warned this can tingle and to use very little. All my fellow FA’s confirm it works and it looks like it works on them . I just can’t tolerate the itching I get.

Only 1 complaint
So I was skeptical after reading all the bad reviews. But I ordered it anyways. So let me first off explain this is a thick cream like Aquaphor. If you like putting Aquaphor on your face then you will love this product. I’m use to using Aquaphor and beef tallow before bed. I like like thick creams like this. A313 will absorb into your skin. It’s only thick until it absorbs. I did have a couple spots that were itchy but I just rubbed them I did not scratch. I did notice and this is my only complaint I felt like it left a powder or film on my face. Not sure if anyone else experienced this. But I noticed when I woke up my face was not soft but it was tight. I think over time using this will help with my fine lines. But ima keep using it to find out. Hope this revue helps. It’s to expensive to just roll the dice and purchase. If you don’t like the vaseline filling on your face then this product is not for you.

Disappointing Texture and Sensation, Awaiting Results
I have recently started using this product and, although I haven’t been using it long enough to see significant results, I do have some initial impressions. Firstly, the texture of the product is quite thick and it leaves my skin feeling greasy and sticky. Additionally, I’ve noticed a tingling sensation on my face after application, which is somewhat uncomfortable. Based on my experience so far, I am hesitant to order again unless I see amazing results. Overall, it’s been a mixed experience for me at this point.

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!

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.

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. It’s 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 doesn’t mind the slightly ‘medical’ texture and smudges on the pillow case.
