A313 – The New Avibon

50g

A313 cream is a pharmaceutical-grade vitamin A sold over-the-counter in France.

This oily (pommade means ointment) cream contains retinyl palmitate. A mild retinol ester.

Retinyl palmitate is mixed with polyethylene glycol (PEG or “macrogol”), serving two main purposes. Firstly, it stabilizes the vitamin A to maintain its activity without degradation. Secondly, it functions as a penetration enhancer, aiding the absorption of vitamin A into the skin.

It can be used for:

• Fine lines and wrinkles

• Pigmentation (also forpost-acne marks)

• Actinic keratosis

• Acne, oily skin, blackheads

Texture:

It’s a very thick, greasy and translucent ointment.
