A313 Vitamin A Pommade is a pharmaceutical-grade, non-prescription Vitamin A product made in France. It has a cult following and is said to be France’s best-kept skincare secret. It is seen as a replacement for Avibon, which gained popularity in 2012 as a result of Gwyneth Paltrow’s sharing. I’d never had a chance to try Avibon before it was discontinued. After a batch of products had stability issues and were recalled in 2013, the manufacturer made several attempts to meet the product quality standard, but with no success.
