I love A313. It worked great for me. Better than Defferin for me. A313 has been the most effective over the counter retinol product I have used. And I have never noticed a smell.

[@tinasung3814]

I have been using the anua dark spot correcting serum for a few months and I have to say this formula has been super effective and not irritating on my skin. I have use a number of dark spot skincare before including the numbuzin one and topical amongst many other viral products and I actually like this one the most. I did not think this one is that tacky as I also have the anua Niacin serum too, and that one is alot more tacky and less effective.

I also use it and see results and love it! Oddly enough I even have to take a break from using it every few months or sometimes I’ll just use it a few times a week bc even tho it doesn’t sound like a powerful active (and scientifically shouldn’t be) - the product is strong. And effective. In my experience. And I don’t have sensitive skin at ALL.

[@Nubianette]

@@j_kess_ability to use it consistently, is also a good thing. Try something stronger, you have irrigation, and then you stop using it all together. I’ve only used Inkey List. I believe in less is more. Then, ramp up as needed.

Dr. Maxwell, thank you for sharing that it takes a week for your skin to recovery after filming one of your videos. As someone with sensitive skin, I always marvel at how your skin can take all of the chemicals in the products you test.

[@ayawalia]

A313 smells bad feels vaseline and is itchy at first . But I prefer it to any other retinol serum I've used (the loreal and the inkey list) it makes my skin smooth and bright. I am in my third tube. It's not for everyone, product experience is important for sticking to a skincare routine.

[@nikczemna_symulakra]

As a hardcore tretinoin user (0.1%), i remember buying the a313 solely for recovery purposes -- when there are signs of slight irritation and it would be to risky to try anything active (tret, exfoliating acids). Works worders in this particular modus operandi. Next morning the skin always looks amazing, and in the evening i can wash it off without fears of 3rd degree burn:) Besides, recovery from irritations is one of the indications ACTUALLY given on the leaflet, so..

[@Nubianette]

After 4 months of using A313, my friends and family commented on how my skin looks even better. I have pretty good skin, but after I turned 57, I noticed I just didn’t look awake and youthful. I have sensitive skin, and there’s definitely a tingle, but it’s not unbearable. For the price, and using it at night, it’s totally worth it and effective.

Loved your video. I love masks, but they have to do something, if even temporarily. Clay masks are great. There is some mask called Lift Pro carboxy gel treatment that I have 3 of and am fixing to try since I have tomorrow off. The problem with these leave-on-all-night masks is that I tend to rip them off in my sleep. That happened with the frownies. But next time I have to work a night shift I swear I’m showing up with frownies all over my face!

[@laksasyah5673]

The anua one actually works, it does help with my darkspot like vitamin c does. It dosent irritate, very watery and ive used 2 bottle now lol replacing it with my more intense vitamin c bcs its less irritative for me

[@andrewjosephdotson1359]

With all due respect, you guys have no idea what you're talking about from a chemical level with A313. A313 contains retinyl palmitate which is a retinyl esther. This is a veritable retinoid that is actually more easily absorbed by the skin so retinoid receptors can start cellular turnover more effectively. Just because something is more concentrated doesn't necessarily mean it's better for your skin. Many people like me can't tolerate tretinoin at all. We're just allergic to it. A313 is instrumental in providing just the right dosage of protective retinoids to the skin. It smoothes and makes my skin vibrant without having it peel like a lizard with tretinoin. And, although it sort of has a salt and vinegar chips smell, the consistency is not like Vaseline if you follow the directions and warm it between your fingers before application. A313 has helped many people and is definitely a necessity for some.

[@marcitarussell7807]

Very informative, thank you

[@idalia799]

Look it's okay if your skin enjoys thick ointments but the retinoid concentration of this is just 0.06% in the end. All the effects u think are happening is just placebo.

[@kristencarter8406]

This is great if you have found something that has worked for you! Everyone has different skin needs, and we all should use the best products for us. They are actually correct about the A313. It is the lowest form of retinoid available. Tretinoin is the strongest. You skipped over 3 other forms in between. Imagine you are cold. You can go out and buy a sweater or you can go and buy some needles and yarn. You can absolutely get to a sweater with those 2 items, but it’s going to take more work before it gets transformed into the sweater. That’s totally ok. Some people find a sweater to be too hot! Some people enjoy (need) the steps of knitting. They may find that they don’t mind the work because it also makes them warm, even if it wasn’t instant like putting on a sweater. That may be a bad apology, but I think it’s still effective. They simply mean that once on the skin, the RP has to convert 3 times before it gets close to the level of tretinoin. That means that the results will take much longer and they won’t be as pronounced. Tret is absolutely not a necessity, and you are correct that not everyone can use it. But there are some other forms that are stronger than this product, but they are not as strong as Tret. Maybe try going up a step to retinol and see if that works for you? You might find that you tolerate it well, as you have had such great results with the A313. But it’s totally ok if you don’t either. 😊

[@marygillespie2028]

Thanks for the opinions! I was tempted by the Anua dark spot treatment, but the stickiness is a deal breaker for me. I think I'll stick with my current routine.

[@lins_z2]

What type of skin are you? I bought the product today and it was a little tacky at first, but then I layered other two products and the end result wasn’t either tacky anymore or oily, and it’s not irritating or making my skin itch. Now, I don’t know what it would feel for someone with oily skin!

[@NatalieG427]

Maybe it’s best for nighttime before bed. Then it won’t matter if it’s slightly tacky.

However, 9 months in, I can surely say that the key is to use the appropriate amount enough to create a really thin film around your whole face, let it sit for 10 - 20 min and I personally follow it up with a ceramides rich moisturizer, or a zinc oxide moisturizer.

Love your skin care reviews. Clay masks usually make my face itchy but I may have to take a chance and try that bubble mask! So, I have a suggestion for a product review. The brand is "Planet Eden" and the creator is an OG in skincare! She started out selling on Ebay, well before other consumer platforms were launched. Her selection is small and products seem to revolve around glycolic acid & lactic acid but I credit her for getting me interested in skin products. She has an AMAZING pumpkin cream pie skin mask which I use once or twice a week, I can't live without it. Since we're headed into fall, this product would be great to review for all the pumpkin spice lovers out there!! 🎃🎃🎃

The only skin and hair care you need is a multipeptide collagen and keratin treatment with growth factors. Skinlyte has a soap that is loaded not only with collagen but also keratin peptides. It is called Hair & Whole Body Bar. It is fast absorbed because it has an enhanced peptide binding enhancement technology which produces water molecules in a condensation reaction that hydrates skin and hair naturally. It repairs, grows hair, naturally moisturizes, rebuilds and strengthens hair and skin. I got it at Amazon and I am impressed with new benefits I discover every time I use it. I noticed many improvements in my hair, skin and nails. What I like best about it is that it's all natural and without harmful chemicals such as synthetic dyes, fragrance, SLS or preservatives.

[@seanmaher2987]

A313 is interesting. I have been tring it and I get a pretty strong reaction to it, including itching and irritation. However, this is interesting because for the past 14 years I've been using .05% tretinoin. So these types of retinoids should be nothing to me. I guess maybe the propolene glycol is either occluding these retinoids and increasing their potency - or maybe there just somthing in there that's reacting with me.
