A 313 Pommade
The magical and mythical cream from the land of skin heaven otherwise known as a french pharmacy led me to this Vitamin A miracle worker known as A313. The pursuit started in search of Avibon the Vitamin A pommade Gwyneth Paltrow hocked on her site and of course, it seemed to have sold out immediately once she mentioned it. I found A313 as a substitute for Avibon, as it has mysteriously disappeared from the market. A313 is a similar formula but with less potency of vitamin A. I have never messed with retinols or vitamin A in the past because of the inability to wear it in the sun. And I am a sun worshiper so I never bothered. And now at age 35, I see laugh lines and crows feet starting to form on my fave and my cystic acne on my chin has gotten worse. From all I read, vitamin A and/or retinols supposedly took care of both. So I ordered A313 from France and patiently awaited it's arrival in the post. The day it arrived I couldn't wait for my evening skincare routine to try it on so I slathered on a pea size dollop on my clean face. The pommade warms in your hands and tickles on the skin. Wearing it into my creative studio for my work day was a bit distracting as it itched like hell. But now I don't even feel it. Because of the tingling that can occur and it's heavy greasy vibe, I do save my application for night now. And after 3 months of using it, my skin is glowing. I get compliments on my glow all of the time and most importantly, I am being ID'd again for beer. This really means A313 works! More importantly to me, my painful cystic acne and my wrinkles forming above my lip are a thing of the past. So yeah, it works. If you want to go for a mega skincare combo, combine A313 with Biologique Recherche P50 Lotion for the wonder twins combo pack from heaven for skincare.
