Only a very small amount is needed as it has a balm texture.

A313 Cream ingredients

This cream has a limited ingredient list that makes retinyl esters the hero.

It contains 0.6 grams of retinyl esters  actives in each 50g tube or o.12%.

The retinyl esters are suspended in a waterless bases of Macrogol (Polyethylene Glycol). This stabilises the actives and enables them to penetrate more deeply. The stabilisation also prevents the Vitamin A actives from breaking down and preserves their potency.

The only other ingredient is Polysorbate 80, which mainly comprises fatty acids. The polysorbate gives the product a light balm texture and further helps with penetration.

A313 Cream review

After about three months of use, I noticed that my skin was smoother, more even-toned and had more of a glow… and dare I say it, it even seemed plumper. This stuff works some kind of magic overnight because when you wake up, your face just seems fuller and firmer, as well as softer and more hydrated. I’ve never had results like that from any other skin care product!
