Does what it should
Started my retinal journey with these, 5, 10, and now 20. Never been irritated in any way. I notice it does a lot for my texture. But often there’s like a yellow crumb left on the skin, feels like it rolls a bit? Or am I doing something wrong? I use essence, water-based serum, retinal followed by cream. - The post was made 5 daysRating: 5 out of 5verified customer
Good
I have used some other retinol serums from The Ordinary before, so I felt confident to buy this A-game 20 right away. So far, zero irritation and it is very light on the skin. Also economical, so not much product is needed. First impression is very good and I am excited to see if I can get any results on my old acne scars🥰 #lykoreview664 views - The post was made 1 month
Retinal
What type of serum and cream is recommended after applying this Retinal? Someone wrote that they do it to avoid yellow stains on pillowcases? ☺️ Hope for an answer? - The post was made 2 monthsRating: 5 out of 5verified customer

perfect!:)
I love it on my skin, but it’s a lot stronger than the 0.1 or 0.05, so be careful!2225 views- The comment was made 2 monthsI’ve been using the GG 10 for like five years… maybe my skin would be a little bit “annoyed” the first couple of nights - if even that.Then it would be back to business as usual and pretty soon I’d start reaping the benefits from using a new strength of Retinoid 😌❤️❤️ Yeah, what the fudge am I waiting for?! Let’s do this 😀😊

Do not recommend
Unfortunately, it left stains on my sheets even though I applied the serum 1 hour before going to bed. I have washed pillowcases and sheets twice at 60 degrees and used stain remover, but it doesn't come off. I tried to get a refund for the product since I won't use it again because of this, but unfortunately, I didn't get one, which is a shame since it's so expensive. Therefore, I do not recommend spending your money on this product.2653 views- The comment was made 2 months🪷 Hi Lyko 🪷 Can't you prevent discoloration on bed linens with the help of a sleep mask; either those viral gel-like collagen masks (Biodance, Medicune, and Sungboon Editor among others) or the ones you brush on and then peel off in the morning or the reusable silicone masks - which I prefer ✌️😉 Then you can of course also1 likes

Retinol 0.3 - Retinal 0.2?
I have been using retinol serum from Mantle every or every other night for a long time now. Can I go straight to this serum or do I need to start with the step below, 0.1??2425 views- The comment was made 6 daysHi Nathalie, I’m almost done with my first jar at 0.2 strength. Should I increase again? Which product then? I’ve been interested in applying something more over the retinal. What do you recommend? Normal and combination skin in the T-zone. I have hyperpigmentation and am 51 years old. Need to work on skin firmness. Best regards Anna

Retinal ramp up
I have been using retinol for 2-3 years and have just ramped up to retinal 0.05%. I have never had irritation or problems during use. When can I ramp up to 0.1 and 0.2?2243 views- The user's roll: Employees at Lyko. The comment was made 5 monthsHi Åsa😊 If you have been using retinol regularly for 2-3 years and just stepped up to 0.05% retinal without irritation, that’s a good sign. Since retinal is stronger than retinol, it’s wise to give your skin time to adjust. To step up to 0.1%, I recommend continuing with 0.05% for about 4-8 weeks. First, increase the frequency of use, for example from 2-3 nights a week to every other night. If your skin continues to do well, you can then move on to 0.1%. When you reach 0.1%, you can use it for another 8-12 weeks before considering testing 0.2%. Remember to increase the number of nights first and gradually raise the strength to minimize the risk of irritation. Always remember to use sunscreen during the day and give your skin time to recover between increases. Hope the answer can be helpful and that you have a super nice day💫

Valuable
Switched to this after Medik8 crystal retinal 20 due to the price. Thin and easy to apply, the skin feels almost a little hydrated afterwards. I used Medik8 almost every night, I have to be more careful with this one to avoid getting flaky. The first week my whole face cracked.2831 views - The post was made 8 monthsRating: 5 out of 5
Best retinal product I've tested
Also budget-friendly. Got the tip about it from a YouTuber in the USA who said it's the best over-the-counter retinal product in Europe.3466 views - The post was made 9 monthsRating: 5 out of 5
Best product
I recommend this to everyone I know. I've been using it for several years and see no reason to stop. Absolutely the best in terms of ingredients and price. 5/5!!3639 views
Geek & GorgeousA-Game 20 Retinal Serum 30 ml
Product is not available
A silky, lightweight emulsion containing a high-strength amount of retinal to help against all signs of ageing.
Good to know: This product is for experienced retinoid users that have used A-Game 10 and want to “step-up". Once converted, retinal helps the skin cells to produce more collagen and other structural elements, making the skin more youthful, firm and elastic. It speeds up the renewal process of the upper skin layers making it smoother and more even. A-Game is a smart-aging must-have, but it is also useful as an adjacent product for fading pigmentation, as well as helping acne-prone skin. In terms of strength and knowledge, Geek & Gorgeous would compare their 0.2% retinal serum to the strength and knowledge of a 1.8% retinol product but with less irritation potential and possibly quicker results.
Cruelty-free | Vegan | Fragrance & Essential oil free | Gluten-free
Suitable for skin that has already used retinol products before or have used Geek & Gorgeous A-Game 5 & A-Game 10 and feel comfortable going up a level to maximum strength. Texture - this product is more suitable for combination and oily skin and for those who want to boost their firmness and reduce pigmentation and signs of ageing.
Use:
Apply a pea sized amount to face in the PM. In your evening routine, apply liquid and gel-type products first (for example a toner, or our other serums). Follow with a moisturiser Wear a sunscreen SPF 30 or higher in the morning.
If you are using A-Game 20 for the first time, phase in application starting at 2-3 times per week for two weeks. If well-tolerated, move up to every other evening in two weeks and finally - if your skin tolerates it - every night. Do not use around the eye area.
Do not use if pregnant or breastfeeding.
Good to know: A-Game has a bright yellow color due to the retinal in it. Based on our experience, it dissipates on the skin and does not leave a yellow tint on surfaces.
