I have just returned from France and managed to get some from pharmacy. I am unsure what strength retinol it is ? Can anybody enlighten me.

Its a 0.12% concentration of synthetic vitamin A, which is a relatively low percentage.

As above. It's not what a lot of people think it is. Lower grade of active ingredient (retinol ester) than most entry grade retinols on the high street (most big brand entry grade retinols are about 0.3 which is a good grade to start on)

If you haven't used a retinoid before, the A313 will be fine and unlikely to irritate. You could probably move to a higher grade pretty quickly.

What retinol would you recommend upgrading to?
