A313 Vitamin A Pommade (Closest Version to Avibon Available)

Product Information

However, this plumped appearance is temporary. 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."

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. The cream form, with its more fluid texture, is better suited to skin irritations with a larger surface area and is more easily absorbed by the skin.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. A fat-soluble vitamin, vitamin A occurs in the human body in the form of retinol , retinal (in the retina), retinoic acid (in bones and mucous membranes) or retinyl palmitate (reserves stored in liver). Vitamin A was first isolated from the retina, hence the name " retinol" . Vitamin A is obtained directly by the body from foods of animal sources where it is present in the form of retinol. The A313 ointment form is more oily, therefore more suitable for very dry and localized skin damage such as irritant dermatitis.

This is a cult product for a reason. A product that provides phenomenal results. But why? Based on the vitamin A content, we shouldn’t really be noticing much of a difference. Research. 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.

Warnings on Medication for Skin Problems

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. As we mentioned before, there are a ton of different formulas out there when it comes to retinol. For example, many retinol products come in a cream or moisturizer form, which can be great for an added dose of moisture, however, they have their downsides. "To avoid acne flares, a light formulation, not a heavy cream is the way to go," says Dr. Wexler. Meanwhile, Zaborowski prefers serums as they tend to be less irritating and have great absorption. All in all, it's best to consider your skin needs when choosing a formula. If redness or irritation occurs, consult your dermatologist and re-evaluate the concentration, frequency, and formulation. The Best Retinol Creams 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. By penetrating deep beneath your epidermis (the outer layer of your skin) and neutralising free radicals, this potent little ingredient boosts your skin's production of elastin, collagen, and comedolytic agents. These natural chemicals work simultaneously with retinol's auxiliary exfoliating effect to uncover fresh layers of youthful-looking skin, essentially speeding up the skin's natural regeneration process and consequently thwarting any and every skin issue that springs to mind. Apply a thin layer of the cream onto the skin and massage gently. Use 2-3 times a day. Keep out of reach of children. Store below 25C
