Introduce vitamin A into your evening skincare routine with A313 Cosmetic Cream Pommade 50g, a concentrated French skincare treatment formulated with retinyl palmitate, a vitamin A ester.

Its rich, balm-like texture creates a protective layer over the skin and is designed for gradual nighttime use. With consistent application, the formula helps support smoother-looking skin and improve the visible appearance of dullness, uneven texture and early signs of ageing.

The formula also contains vitamin E, an antioxidant that helps protect the skin from environmental oxidative stress, and peanut oil, which provides emollient and conditioning properties.

Key Ingredients

Retinyl Palmitate

Retinyl palmitate is an ester of vitamin A. It is generally considered gentler and less potent than pure retinol, retinaldehyde or prescription retinoic acid. With consistent use, it can help support skin renewal and improve the appearance of texture, dullness and visible signs of ageing.

Tocopherol — Vitamin E

Vitamin E provides antioxidant support and helps protect the formula and skin against oxidative stress. It also contributes to skin conditioning and comfort.

Arachis Hypogaea — Peanut Oil

Peanut oil is an emollient oil that helps soften and condition the skin while supporting the ointment’s rich texture.

PEG-8 and PEG-75

These ingredients help create the product’s distinctive ointment consistency and support even distribution across the skin.

Full Ingredients — INCI

PEG-8, PEG-75, Polysorbate 80, Retinyl Palmitate, Arachis Hypogaea (Peanut) Oil, Tocopherol.

The manufacturer or supplier may update the formula. Always check the ingredient list printed on the packaging received before use.

How to Use

1. Use only in the evening.

2. Cleanse the face and allow the skin to dry completely.

3. Wait approximately 15–20 minutes after cleansing if your skin is sensitive or easily irritated.

4. Apply a very small amount—approximately a pea-sized quantity—for the entire face.

5. Spread a thin, even layer over the face, avoiding the eye area, eyelids, lips, corners of the nose and broken or irritated skin.

6. Start by using it once or twice per week.

7. Gradually increase to every other evening only when your skin tolerates it comfortably.

8. Follow with a simple moisturiser when required.

9. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen of at least SPF30 every morning.

Do not apply a thick layer. Using more product does not produce faster results and may increase irritation.

Suggested Beginner Routine

Evening:

Cleanser → allow skin to dry → moisturiser → small amount of A313

Applying moisturiser before A313 may help reduce dryness and irritation when introducing the product.

Experienced-User Routine

Evening:

Cleanser → allow skin to dry → small amount of A313 → moisturiser if needed

Ingredients to Avoid in the Same Routine

To reduce the risk of irritation, avoid combining A313 in the same evening routine with:

• Other retinol or retinoid products

• Prescription tretinoin or adapalene

• Strong glycolic acid or lactic acid exfoliants

• Salicylic acid exfoliating treatments

• Benzoyl peroxide

• Strong exfoliating peels or scrubs

These products can be used on separate days when appropriate and well tolerated.

Suitable For

• Normal skin

• Dry skin

• Combination skin

• Experienced retinoid users

• Adults concerned about dull or uneven-looking skin

• Adults concerned about the visible appearance of fine lines

• Night-time skincare routines

People with highly sensitive, damaged or reactive skin should seek professional advice before use.

Important Safety Information

• For external use only.

• Use only at night.

• Introduce gradually.

• Mild dryness, peeling, itching or redness may occur when starting vitamin A products.

• Stop use if severe burning, swelling, blistering or persistent irritation develops.

• Avoid contact with the eyes and mucous membranes.

• Do not apply to broken, inflamed, sunburnt or freshly exfoliated skin.

• This product contains peanut oil. Do not use it if you have a known peanut allergy unless a qualified healthcare professional has confirmed it is suitable.

• Consult a healthcare professional before using vitamin A skincare during pregnancy, while trying to conceive or while breastfeeding.

• Keep out of reach of children.

• Daily sunscreen is essential because vitamin A routines can leave irritated skin more vulnerable to sun exposure.

Why Customers Love It

A313 has gained international attention because of its simple vitamin A-focused formula, distinctive rich texture and association with French pharmacy skincare. Unlike many lightweight retinol serums, its pommade format provides a more occlusive nighttime treatment that helps leave dry skin feeling soft and conditioned.

Because retinyl palmitate is a milder vitamin A derivative, it may be an accessible starting point for customers who find stronger retinol formulas difficult to tolerate. However, results are gradual, and consistent use alongside daily sun protection is essential.
