How To Use

Here’s a step-by-step guide to using A313 Pommade effectively and safely:

1. Start Slowly  

 Frequency: Begin with 2–3 nights per week (e.g., every other night) to let your skin   adjust. Gradually increase to nightly use over 2–4 weeks if tolerated.  
 Avoid Overuse: A pea-sized amount is sufficient for the entire face. Over applying   increases irritation risk. 

2. Nighttime Application Only  

 Retinoids like A313 degrade in sunlight and increase sun sensitivity. Use it only in your   evening routine.  

3. Prep Your Skin 

 Cleanse: Wash your face with a gentle, non-drying cleanser.  
 Dry Thoroughly: Wait 10–15 minutes until skin is completely dry (damp skin intensifies   irritation).  

4. Apply A313

Amount: Use a pea-sized dose for the face. Dot it on forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin.  Spread Gently: Avoid rubbing. Use light, upward strokes.  
 Avoid Sensitive Areas: Steer clear of eyelids, under-eyes, nostrils, and lips.  

5. Buffering (Optional for Sensitive Skin)

 Option 1: Apply moisturiser first, wait 10 minutes, then apply A313.  
 Option 2: Apply A313 first, wait 20 minutes, then layer moisturiser.  
 Tip: Buffering reduces irritation while maintaining efficacy.  

6. Post-Application Care  

 Moisturise: Follow with a fragrance-free moisturiser to combat dryness (e.g.,   ceramide-based creams).
 Avoid Harsh Actives: Skip AHAs/BHAs, vitamin C, or physical scrubs on A313 nights.  

7. Sun Protection is Mandatory

 Morning Routine: Always apply broad-spectrum SPF 30+ during the day. Retinoids   make skin photosensitive. 

8. Manage Side Effects  

 Common Reactions: Dryness, flaking, or mild redness are normal initially.  
 Solution: Reduce frequency, buffer with moisturiser, or use hydrating serums (e.g.,   hyaluronic acid).  
 Severe Irritation: Stop use for 3–5 days, repair skin barrier, then reintroduce slowly.  

9. Long-Term Use

 Consistency: Visible improvements (texture, fine lines, acne) typically appear after 8–   12 weeks.
 Maintenance: Once acclimated, use nightly or as tolerated for sustained results.  

10. Special Considerations

 Avoid During Pregnancy: Retinoids are not recommended for pregnant or           breastfeeding individuals.  
 Patch Test: Apply behind the ear or on the forearm for 2–3 nights to check tolerance.  

 

 By following this routine, you’ll maximize A313’s anti-aging and skin-renewing benefits   while minimizing irritation. 🌙✨
