Dermatologist reviews A313 pommade| Dr Dray

[@xJxclyn]

I believe I have hormone acne, I have tried everything in the sun. Trentinon helps a lot but is extremely drying, even with a lot of moisturizing. Recently just started the A313 from French Pharmacy and over night it made a huge difference with extreme moisture as well. If your suffering from hormonal acne, I would definitely try A313

[@agneslaufer9579]

I mix my a313 with aquaphor 1:1

[@rosaleenrobinsonmcdonald64]

I am in my early 70s and have been using A313 for several years. I can vouch for its effectiveness as my skin is virtually wrinkle free and firm in texture and very clear skin with no pigmentation issues.

A313 is an excellent product. My skin is sensitive and dry but I can tolerate it if I use it sparingly, three nights a week. Be sure to purchase the original from France. It lasts ages.

[@maheen2248]

I usually have dry, sensitive and acne prone skin and I am a doctor myself and trust me that combination is very tricky I tried prescription strength retinol but it used to try out my skin so much I hated the peeling and the stinging sensation I used to get . I switched to a313 as per a friends recommendation and I swear this product is pure magic for my skin . I got all kind of lasers and chemical peels and god knows what not and this is the product that just changed my skincare game . My skin is softer , no texture , no peeling no burning. My acne has calmed down so much that I barely get one break out after a month . Try it and you’re gonna see the change within a month . But again it doesn’t work for everyone . It might not be very good Hugh strength anti-ageing product . But with acne , texture and pigmentation this stuff is really magical

[@MrKingstonlovesyou]

For all my australian viewers adapalene here is considered to be a perscription drug. So you cannot buy the la Roche posay or differen one here. The reason for this is becuase of our crazy intense sun they want it to be perscription so proper education on sun safety and this product can be given. If you do want to access it without perscription you can buy it online although more expensive! Just some facts for my auzzys

[@TheBlueNomad]

I don't see it here in France either...

[@jdxx59]

I’m a fellow Aussie and buy my Tretinoin online via ReliableRXPharmacy - you just skip the part in your account setup that asks for a prescription. It’s very cheap and very reliable. I also buy the Careprost eyelash growth bottles from there too. No issues at all.

This pomade makes sense for me. With Retin-A, even though I follow all the directions and advice, it is highly irritating to my skin. It looks as if I eventually get “burned” patches from this and never-ending flaking skin. I will try some of the other ones that you mentioned. Thank you!

[@yuliyaart3536]

The vitamin A in 313 is Retinyl Palmitate, Dr Des Fernandes wrote a whole book about it and why he prefers it over tretinoin and how it even creates sunscreen in the skin (he said about SPF20).

Crucibelle How can you describe a placebo effect when I take pics and see results in 3 days. Also, a lot of people post to a beauty subreddit And Natural Kaos group. I use and have the tretinoids in all percents and I used Retinol from Platinum skin care. The tret were too intense and left me with a red face for days and the serum didn’t do any thing.

[@CLOUDTHOUGHT]

Hi Doc Dray.... so in your opinion, is Avene is the best choice for fine lines and wrinkles?

[@kithale316]

This has made a huge difference to my hands. I mix it with my embyolisse moisturiser which helps the texture. Embryolisse is a wonderful sinple moisturiser which was the only thing that I could use on my skin during and after radiotherapy and chemo. I use my own experience to make a judgement and as not too many people have had three cancers so no amount of reading or listening to skin "experts" can be as imformative as actual experience.

@@daffodilwanders4135 Hi! Started using A313 about 2 months ago. Started with 2 nigths a week, then 3, and so on, to let my skin adapt to retinol. They key to A313 I think is to apply it over dry skin. I usually wash my face and let it dry for 20 to 30 min before putting on A313. If you have serums you can layer them but let your skin dry 20 min at least before applying the cream.

[@lovetransforms8338]

Loved this review! There are many dupes of A313 online. I've purchased it directly in France so the list of ingredients is different than what you would get in an online "French pharmacy" or Amazon. It was not over the counter, per se, ( I had to sign documents that stated that this was a medical-grade product.) The first evening I applied this to my skin I experienced an intense tingling sensation that quickly turned into a horrible burning sensation. It was so uncomfortable I had to wash my face to remove it-and even after washing my face, I could still feel it burning. I was shocked because I don't consider myself to have ultra-sensitive skin ( As a point of reference, I've used Retin-A 0.05 and hadn't experienced the degree of irritation I experienced with A313-not even when I first started Retin-A.) After some research, I tried A313 again but applying moisturizer first, and then A313 on top. It still felt quite uncomfortable, but not as much as the first evening. I had to apply it every other day to build tolerance, and the burning I felt (even with the moisturizer) faded entirely after days. In terms of results, peeling does occur, some dark spots I had faded, and it does make my skin look super supple and hydrated.

Hello my dear Dr. Dray! Interesting video, I had been hearing some buzz about this product lately. I am so loving tretinoin. Funny thing, after 4 months of use of the .025%, my dermatologist renewed my prescription to .05% without me realizing it! Crazy, right? But it is working beautifully, no irritation whatsoever, just a tad of peeling. So I am cutting back to every other day for a few weeks until my skin gets acclimated. God bless you and thank you for sharing with us all your wealth of knowledge. You are truly amazing, and a lovely soul to boot (you, mom and darling Tybee).

Retin A makes my skin look dull and lifeless too. It doesn’t peel because I use acids, but it just doesn’t make my skin improve. It just dries it out. I’m seriously thinking of trying the A313, I’m just worried about possibly buying a fake on Amazon.

Within 1 week it had faded my age spots...I am 65...and I am thinking to myself, what the heck is going on with this stuff? I wish we could take a tube of this A313 and take it to a US lab to find out what is really in it.

Retinyl esters have a lower efficacy compared to Retinols. A313 is not a retinoid. There are three retinoids; 2 are prescription medications (Tretinoin, Tazarotene) and 1 is an over-the-counter medication (Adapalene).

I try to save money when it comes to vitamin a products but unfortunately in Australia they are very heavily regulated and not available in pharmacies (can't get Differin over the counter here. Retinol is available in over the counter skincare products.

[@sarkahalastova9667]

Tango Mango A313 costs about 10 Euros that’s why everyone is so interested. Trentinoin prescription is virtually unavailable in my country and I am scrapping Internet for affordable replacement

[@tangomango5360]

Sarka Halastova Ah, I’m sorry I did not know that. I thought drugs, in general, were more regulated here in the U.S.

[@nmo4113]

When would you apply these onto your skin??

[@imanreese5657]

I heard at night so your skin won’t be so exposed to the sun Bc of the vitamin A

[@ashwillis83]

I saw the Acne Free brand at Walmart has a Adapelene cream now for $10.

[@barbr100]

Crucibelle however, it is a much smaller size, only .5 oz

[@caseyw.6550]

Yep. That's what I use. It's EXACTLY like differin in every way as far as I can tell.

Dr Dray you look younger and younger every day!! Love your videos!! Thank you for making me understand better the ingredients and what to look for in products!

[@taerinunnie]

Omg I searched so long to get my hands on The avene RetrinAl but it doesn't seem to exist in Europe, but apparently it's called Avène PhysioLift Precision Wrinkle Filler here, so yay! just got me some. Thought I'd share here in case some other ppl here are having trouble fining it. Btw A313 makes my skin peel like crazy, tingle and get red

[@happybubble4863]

Distractedfairy is it the same though? I thought the ingredient list was quite different :/

[@taerinunnie]

@@happybubble4863 yes, exactly the same ingredients

[@TatianaZarate]

Thanks a lot! In Canada is called as you said as well!

[@reneeroutzahn]

I hear some very great things about A313. I wonder if this study tested delivery systems as well as just the retinaldehyde cause I think that’s where the A313 has an edge.

[@kirawhitby3401]

Maybe a silly question but...What are your thoughts on concerns regarding the "Hayflick limit" and tretinoin use? I have been considering starting to use tretinoin but came across a number of people mentioning this and that in the long-run it might not be a good idea. I figured in stead of getting scared away by comments and random articles on the internet I would ask you, seen as you are the expert. Hope my question isn't too vague!

Kira Whitby i would like to know as well

[@Growstuff70]

[@anastasiaskliros955]

Thank you for making the Retinol subject understandable!!! I am 50 and think I should start with adapalene with a buffer like a Cera v moisturizer. Is this a good move?

[@TheSpeedyone2]

YES! I'm 58 and CeraVe saved my top layer. It's a God send. It's been a year, how did it work out? :)

[@accountfortruthfulreviews677]

Adapalene will not do much for winkles, buy the a313 and you will not regret it

[@anastasiawalter2390]

I thought adapalene was only good for acne and not anti-aging. So it works for anti-aging too?

[@carlamarie9527]

There's some evidence suggesting that it does. Tretinoin used to be for acne too and they ended up finding it was antiaging.

[@DrDrayzday]

Anastasia Walter yes, I reviewed that in a prior video

[@crysb5099]

I remember in her older videos she said it was more for acne not anti-aging, so she must have ran into evidence. Makes me happy, right now this is all I can get my hands on.

[@sabr4174]

C R She has a more recent video where she breaks down some research showing adapalene can have an anti-aging effect. I can’t remember the title but it was fairly recent I believe.

[@aprilsantiano3816]

Thank you Dr. Dray for your honest review. I have been on Tret for 5 years and I recently tried this...Theoretically this a313 should be significantly inferior to Tret. However, I started peeling the next day. I thought my skin is now fully retinized why would it do that?! However, I am keeping my eyes open. I alternate nights between this and my 0.5 Tretinoin. :)

[@_danila5185]

April Santiano hi! Did tretinoin helps with fine lines under the eyes? Have you seen any improvement in that area? 😊

[@lemonz1769]

I'd say peeling doesn't mean it's having the same effect as retinoic acid. Many things can make you peel. There are several esters in the A313 and at least one of them has a molecular structure that is too large to penetrate the skin. It may be having an exfoliating effect on the outer most layer of the skin.

[@jennylou9568]

So to the best of my understanding, Differin Adapolene Gel is the most potent OTC retinoid you can get, but Retinaldehyde, particularly the Avene one, is the second best OTC option?

[@carinacoss]

Yes! Exactly

Thank you dr Dray. Never tried this product but I know some people were wondering about it.

[@charlottemoore9467]

This product is so popular in France my daughter-in-law who is French goes once a year and she went this past August and she couldn’t find it nowhere they said it was on back order at all the pharmacies.

Thank you for explaining the differences extremely well.

[@claudiaantoine7679]

Thank you very much Dr. Dray! I'm recommending you to all of my family and friends.

[@hannahy3867]

Would it be a terrible idea to start a retinol product if you already have dry skin? 🤔

[@bella2432]

One less product to waste my money on. Thank you Dr Dray!

[@mikahebda9255]

Unless you’re in Europe, there’s no point in ordering it from Amazon. I’m sure you all have a cheaper equivalent. I’ve purchased it at the pharmacy. It’s only €8.00 and it works great. Not all skin is the same. However, I think why so many people are fascinated by it is because it’s a retinol that’s you can get OTC and it’s “French.” If you’re ever in Europe, I say get it and try it out. Definitely works for all of us overseas.

[@Queenpette]

Merci Docteur ! A must have for french women.

Dr. Dray, I started using Dr. Sam Bunting’s “Nightly.” It’s too soon to see a difference, as I’ve used it for one week - along with her “Flawless Light.” I would love to know your take on the ingredients in “Nightly.” Thanks for your dedication and hard work, as always.

[@regroovable]

Tammy, I think it contains the same retinol ester as A313, along with azelaic acid, niacinamide and bakuchiol. I would be interested in Dr Dray's opinion too.

[@AriellaAmaral]

[@sogolboujaran1091]

I am a bit confused.. so many retinols and info. I might be wrong. But it seems like people in the comments seem very happy with the A313, but if I understand it right the format it is, is not as strong and effective like retinol. Am I right? Which retinol is best if not on prescription?
