A313 contains Vitamin A in the active form of retinol propionate, this specific ester penetrates deeply into the skin and triggers skin and pore exfoliation.
200,000 iu of vitamin A converts to about .06 grams. There is 50 grams of substance total in this tube of which .06 of it is pure vitamin A. Mathematically it is about 0.12% retinol.
Make sure you face is totally dry as Vitamin A will react with water and cause irritation.
Use very small amount at night, start every other night for 8 days then every night.
Do not apply too close to the eyes as the creme will naturally migrate. Try not to mix it with moisturizer or put any moisturizer on top. Use it three times a week, at bedtime.
It is normal to feel a tingly sensations for 15 minutes after applying the cream
Do not use during the day as Vitamin A is sun sensitive
