It's True—Sienna Miller's French Skincare Secret Is Just £12 This Amazon Prime Day
The French pharmacy staple uses a blend of vitamin A derivatives that gently nudge the skin into glowier, smoother territory—and now it's just £12.


Sienna Miller has long been admired for her laid-back beauty and perfect skin that looks effortlessly luminous. So—it's safe to say it raised more than a few eyebrows when the actor recently mentioned that she swears by A313, a thick, pharmacy-grade retinoid cream quietly beloved in beauty circles. It's a no-frills French formula, housed in an old-school metal tube, and while it doesn’t come with glossy packaging or a buzzy brand campaign, it’s earned cult status for a reason.
Unlike harsher prescription retinoids, A313 uses a blend of vitamin A derivatives that gently nudge the skin into glowier, smoother territory without causing chaos in the process. Miller described it as a tip passed along by a friend—Alexa Chung, no less—and noted how effective it is despite its humble price tag. It’s exactly the kind of product that’s easy to overlook until you hear someone like Miller casually name-drop it as part of her routine.
Right now, A313 is on Amazon for just under £13 this Amazon Prime Day, which is a fraction of what you’d pay for a glossy retinol serum with similar results. But part of the charm is that it doesn’t pretend to be fancy—it’s more of a beauty editor and off-duty model secret that’s been quietly passed around for years. The kind of product you don’t necessarily show off on your shelf, but never let yourself run out of.
