When used in a laxative formula, Macrogol draws water from the rest of the body, into your bowel to help loosen things up. Therefore, if you are applying this ingredient, topically to your skin, theoretically Macrogol could draw water to the surface of the skin to create a plump appearance.

Vitamin A, any form, regardless of strength takes time to work. It will be a while before you start to notice the benefits. Therefore, why on earth was the A313 giving me amazing, immediate benefits based on such a low-strength vitamin A content?While making sure your skin is dry, you will probably notice some irritation during the first few applications.

I had a chat with Dr. Marine Vincent, founder of The French Pharmacy (a lovely brand which I will be talking about next week). Dr. Marine also found A313 equally confusing but did understand the ingredients list a little better than I. She suggested that it was in fact the additional ingredients (other than the vitamin A) that helped the skin absorb the vitamin A more effectively. She also claimed one specific ingredient, Macrogol, was an effective moisture magnet drawing water to the surface of the skin which would contribute to a plumping effect. It’s also a great ingredient for skin penetration. However, this plumped appearance is temporary. You would need to use the A313 almost every single day to reap those plumping benefits, which have absolutely nothing to do with the vitamin A content.

Zaborowski recommends starting with a retinol product one to two times per week, then working your way up to three to four times a week, and applying it at night. "When you apply it at night this allows your skin to repair itself overnight and avoids direct sun exposure which can cause increased irritation," she explains. Most importantly, don't skip out on SPF during the day. "Always wear SPF during the day and don't forget to reapply," Zaborowski warns. "Retinol, especially at the beginning, can make your skin more sensitive and likely to burn." The A313 ointment form is more oily, therefore more suitable for very dry and localized skin damage such as irritant dermatitis. There is no denying that the A313 provides the skin with a more plump and smooth appearance. I can confidently state, it works. I am rather in love with the results I experienced.
