A313 Pommade

This is the most amazing skin care product that I have ever tried, I wish I had found out about it sooner! I've used prescription Retin A Micro (inconvenient) and otc retinol products such as PTR and Skinceuticals (way too strong) in the past. Nothing has worked nearly as well as A313. For over a year now my skin has been super sensitive and reacts to everything with a bumpy rash unless I …Read more

It is important to use this one a little different than other products. I only use it at night and wait at least 30 minutes after washing my face before applying. It is a very thick structure, so you only need a little. It will tickle a bit, but my skin really glows the next morning.

Firstly it's an ointment not a gel so it sticks to your face like petroleum jelly (vaseline). I knew this before I bought it, but It's so uncomfortable to sleep with as your face will stick to pillows and bedding and you'll feel like a greaseball no matter how little you use or how much you rub it in!!

Secondly it's so itchy, it will drive you crazy! I've used …Read more

I've used various forms of retinoids since I was 13 (I am now 30). I discontinued using them when I was around 28 because my skin became highly sensitized and could no longer tolerate harsh products - even spacing out the application by 4-5 days resulted in irritation. I was bummed in believing that I would forever be denied the well-supported anti-aging benefits of retinoids. However, on a …Read more

Smells like glue, looks like glue, feels sticky like glue, but makes my face feel so smooth and soft in the morning. A little goes a long way! I find it also clears stubborn blemishes (I've had a massive breakout recently, likely due to P50W) and lightens my scars. Note that I'm used to retinol so I have had no irritation whatsoever with this form of vitamin A, but I've definitely …Read more

It took me awhile to learn how to use this product. The trick is to wait a good 30 - 45 minutes after washing my face before I apply it, and then also use a moisturizer. I didn't like it at first because I was applying it too soon after I had washed my face, and oh my goodness, it seemed fine at first, but then I woke up a few hours later and my skin was itching and burning!! So make sure …Read more

I read about this product in a Glamour article by Perrie Samotin and figured I'd Amazon it and see what it does for me. I'm 32 and haven't been very grownup serious about my skincare routine and felt I needed to be more precise and grownup and this rather ugly tube that looked pharmaceutical might help with that. *Sigh* emotional purchases... I'd say this active is rather …Read more

This stuff is amazing. I should start off by saying that I use it on and off; I will probably work up to trying to use it more regularly, but right now I've found a good system that works with my skin. So, when I think I'm looking very rough/uneven/clogged pores, I use it every other night for a week or so, and then back off. I only use it at night, and after I've washed my face …Read more

Absolutely amazing! I don't use it continuously, I tend to use it as a treatment for a week, when my skin feels uneven and clogged. I smooth a thin layer on before bed, and do not use any other skincare fro ducts in conjunction with it. I exfoliate in the morning, and moisturise in the day time, and then I repeat this for a week, every night. By the end of the week, I have brand new, smooth …Read more

I used to be able to get prescription tretinoin/Retin-A, but then my insurance company stopped covering it. I had tried OTC retinoids like Paula's Choice, but I didn't want to pay $65 for a tube. My husband told me about Avibon, but then it was discontinued. Now we both use A313 pommade as the next-best thing, and it has made a significant difference for both of us. He is …Read more
