Yet every review I found of actual users of the product, all claimed that it worked absolute wonders? The A313 ointment form is more oily, therefore more suitable for very dry and localized skin damage such as irritant dermatitis. So why is it so mystifying? Some people say retinol is the best thing that ever happened to them; others complain that it leaves their skin red and dry. Then there's the question of how to incorporate it into your skincare routine—you can't just slather it on willy-nilly or you could get burned, maybe even literally.
