The difference between two drugs indicated for the treatment of skin irritations is their dosage. The ointment is by definition a water- in- oil emulsion while the cream is an oil- in- water emulsion. I don't have any specific skin problems but this gave my skin an exceptional glow and plumpness and even tone, even after two or three days. I use it every second day or so. While making sure your skin is dry, you will probably notice some irritation during the first few applications. Try to ride it out if you can, because this eventually goes away once your skin gets used to it. if too much irritation occur, then stop and leave a few days before reapplying.

This new information seemed to make sense. However, after our call I decided to do a little bit more research into the additional ingredients, and to be honest, I really do not know how I feel about my discovery. I decided it was time to incorporate retinol into my skincare routine once I hit my mid-twenties, but I've heard the horror stories of getting acclimated to the ingredient. To test the waters of retinol, I started using this Versed serum and I'm so glad I did. While it did take a few weeks to notice results, all of the textured spots on my skin have magically disappeared and my face looks so much smoother. The best part? No irritation, flakiness, or dryness in sight! There is no denying that the A313 provides the skin with a more plump and smooth appearance. I can confidently state, it works. I am rather in love with the results I experienced. I had a chat with Dr. Marine Vincent, founder of The French Pharmacy (a lovely brand which I will be talking about next week). Dr. Marine also found A313 equally confusing but did understand the ingredients list a little better than I. She suggested that it was in fact the additional ingredients (other than the vitamin A) that helped the skin absorb the vitamin A more effectively. She also claimed one specific ingredient, Macrogol, was an effective moisture magnet drawing water to the surface of the skin which would contribute to a plumping effect. It’s also a great ingredient for skin penetration.

Skin repairs itself overnight, and this PM formula takes the process up a notch with a high concentration of retinol and a skin-calming blend of bisabolol, which is derived from the famously soothing chamomile plant.

The brand's signature capsules have a cult following, and this retinol-infused option was created to fade even your deepest lines.

Yes, you read that right. Laxatives! When used in a laxative formula, Macrogol draws water from the rest of the body, into your bowel to help loosen things up. Therefore, if you are applying this ingredient, topically to your skin, theoretically Macrogol could draw water to the surface of the skin to create a plump appearance. This would indeed explain the immediate plumping effects both myself, and my friend, experienced. To Conclude.

You would need to use the A313 almost every single day to reap those plumping benefits, which have absolutely nothing to do with the vitamin A content.

When it comes to retinol, slow and steady truly wins the race. Zaborowski recommends starting with a retinol product one to two times per week, then working your way up to three to four times a week, and applying it at night. "When you apply it at night this allows your skin to repair itself overnight and avoids direct sun exposure which can cause increased irritation," she explains. Most importantly, don't skip out on SPF during the day. "Always wear SPF during the day and don't forget to reapply," Zaborowski warns. "Retinol, especially at the beginning, can make your skin more sensitive and likely to burn." Apply a thin layer of the cream onto the skin and massage gently. Use 2-3 times a day.
