One thing about HuffPost readers — they love French skincare. Whether we’re writing about Bioderma micellar water or Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré, our readers give a big, “Oui!” to anything en Français because of the consistent efficacy of the formulas. We weren’t super shocked when y’all took to the A313, high-retinol face cream, but we’ve been pleasantly surprised to see it become a consistent best-seller. It’s French, of course, but it also features a dreamy texture and three different types of effective retinol.
We’ve covered this magic potion going on sale before, but today the 50-gram size is finally on sale and now under $40 if you’re fast enough to snag the deal. You can currently snag a tube of this beloved lotion for just $36 — a decent drop from its usual $44.
A313′s distinctive thick texture is closer to a balm, which according to reviewers, feels more hydrating than the pricier formulations. The brand claims that the 2% retinol concentration can help unclog pores, minimize fine lines, reduce hyperpigmentation and even out skin texture.
According to board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Rebecca Marcus, retinol increases cell turnover, helping stimulate collagen production and reduce the appearance of skin aging.
