Three French pharmacy classics for night care, daily hydration and first aid
Essentials Kit: A313, Biafine, Ialuset is a set of three French pharmacy classics for anyone who wants night care, daily hydration and first aid in one order. It brings together A313, a vitamin A ointment for night use, Ialuset, a hydrating cream with 0.2% sodium hyaluronate, and Biafine, a trolamine emulsion for minor burns and hot, red skin. These simple, long-standing formulas are found in almost every French bathroom cabinet. You get A313 50g, Ialuset 100g, and Biafine in the 93g or 186g tube, depending on the option you choose.
Why these three together
Each one does a different job. A313 is a rich vitamin A ointment, used in a thin layer at night. Ialuset is a fragrance-free hydrating cream with 0.2% sodium hyaluronate, for the other nights and for dry or stressed skin. Biafine is the first-aid emulsion for minor burns and hot, red skin after the sun. Together they cover night care, daily hydration and first aid.
Who it suits
- Anyone who wants to try the French pharmacy classics in one order
- Travellers and families stocking a home first-aid shelf
- People starting vitamin A who want a gentle cream for the nights off
- A practical gift for someone who loves French pharmacy care
Worth knowing before you buy: A313 and Biafine are medicines in France: read each leaflet before use. A313 is not meant for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and calls for SPF the next day. Biafine and Ialuset contain parabens, and Biafine contains fragrance. Biafine and Ialuset are meant for minor, superficial burns and non-infected wounds.
