Wrong Not French Pharmacy

I've waited so long to write this review! I was also waiting for my friend to go to France to get me one to compare. I think I read some people said it's not the real one, but here is what I think. As you can see in the picture, the writing/packaging looks a little different. And it has too. One is sold in the US and one is sold in France. So, the US tub needs to have some English writing and it probably needs to meet some US regulations regarding the ingredients. And the one from France is all in French so it will look different. The consistency feels the same. Smells the same(no smell)I love the product now but I didn't in the beginning!!Now, for the performance! First of all, this has retinol. SO, if you have never used OTC retinol you will probably find that you will have a little journey with this before your skin gets use to this ingredient. If you are using retinol for the first time EVER, you need to do a little more reading before you jump to this product. I've used SO many forms of OTC retinol in my lifetime(probably 5-10yrs) So my skin is use to this ingredient. I'm 45 turning 46 this year. And this one ingredient has kept my skin smooth and fine lines free(very minimal). Upon my first use, the product is like an ointment(which I new bc you all gave me the heads up), which is new to me! I have combo skin, so I wasn't too scared. After applying it on, about 30mins or so, my face started to itch SOOO bad. I wanted to rip my skin off!(I'm so dramatic) but I kept it on. The ointment was thick going on and stayed thick TILL the next morning. I also have really bad sebaceous filament on my nose and bumps right under my lower lip. I wasn't able to get rid of the black dots around my nose for the life of me. After watching so many tictoks and research, NOW it makes so much sense. Retinol helps with this(along with other things). Retinol makes your skin dry! Controlling oil production. So now it makes so much sense to put this along my T-zone. No more black dots on my nose and no more bumps under my lower lip. But this whole process took about a week or so go get to. First, getting my skin use to this. It would itch for days, I've tried using a lotion on top of it to help with the itch, I would also tried using a serum before this to help with the itch. Didn't work until I tried the Aveeno Eczema Therapy balm, this really helped with the itching. Here is another experience to share. I stopped using this while I was on a trip for about 10days, I got back on the wagon, and small parts of my face started to itch again. Like I was using this for the first time. So FYI.Overall, I really like this! This has really helped control my oily T-Zones. No more black dots on the nose. Do your research on retinol before you jump to this. And just trust the process of retinol! It's a journey but the results are fantastic. Don't forget to use sunscreen religiously!!!

My skin was going through a rebellious phase, and no matter what I did, it wouldn't shape up. It's also temperamental and gets its feelings hurt easily. It's such a sensitive little thing. I was looking for a miracle cream that would take care of the breakouts, the roughness, the large pores, the redness, the pink spots left by recent breakouts. I was determined to knock my skin back into shape. I read up on a bunch of different cleansers, exfoliants, creams, moisturizers, and serums. Nothing really stood out until I read about A313.THIS is that miracle cream. I have been recommending it to everyone! Within two uses, my pores shrunk, redness disappeared, my breakouts are history, and the roughness and pink spots are noticeably diminished! It sounds too goo to be true, but this stuff is amazing!Pro tip: I read that if you apply to bare skin, it will irritate it and cause itching, so apply your moisturizer first, then the A313. The itchiness is truth. Not painful, and not terrible, but it's like a normal itch that keeps coming back after you scratch it.I do not use it every night, maybe only 2-3 times a week since my skin is so grumpy. But this stuff kicked its butt back into shape in the best way possible. My skin looks better than it did five years ago.Warning: Make sure you get the "real" French product with French-language labelling. There is one that is a fake that only has English labelling. Also, A313 feels a little like Vaseline, but I find that it spreads so well and doesn't feel greasy like Vaseline does. However, it does feel greasy (not in a bad way), but if that bothers you, don't buy this. It is also fragrance-free and has a slight odor, but I don't find it offensive.

In a two month period my starter crape skin has smoothed out and my small wrinkles by my mouth have reduced so much. There is a glow to my face I haven’t seen in a long time. I use this all over my face in the evening and use it on my target points in the morning before applying my moisturizer and primer.Product hasn’t a smell and is spot on for sensitive skin. It’s thick clear and creamy. I read so much on this before my purchase. It’s well worth the money and I say try it you won’t be sorry.

Make sure this product does not come in contact with any water when on your face because it will cause a reaction and itch horribly. Save for washing it off, that there is not problem with.That being said I have been told by multiple people that my face is absolutely glowing. I'd say my skin looks really plump and radiant!

Wow! I wasn't expecting it to work quite so well, but it's quite impressive. This face creme really does produce some impressive results and isn't that unpleasant to use, at least for me; just a tiny bit itchy and oily. Otherwise it's great!
