Amazing!!
I heard that this is almost the same as the Medik8 product, the only difference is the price, and of course I tried it because Medik8 is so expensive. And this is lovely!! My skin has experienced retinal before, so there was no irritation, I put La Roche Posay cicaplast B5 cream on top, and my skin is silky in the morning. I've already been asked after a short time of use what product I use when my skin glows and is so smooth, as I had a long break from retinal because I couldn't afford Medik8, but now I don't need that anymore because I have this!! <34472 views - The post was made 4 days
Does this work for acne scars on the face?
Hi. I have struggled with acne in the past, and have acne scars on my cheeks, and I use other active products like vitamin C in the morning, and niacinamide in the evening, sometimes BHA in the evening too. Will retinol/retinal be able to reduce the visibility of scars on the face? I've heard that I have superficial scars, so they aren't the deepest scars either :)118 views- The user's roll: Farmaceut på Lyko. The comment was made 3 daysHey Frida😊 Yes, retinal can absolutely help reduce the visibility of superficial acne scars by increasing cell turnover and stimulating collagen. Results will come gradually, so be patient. Start cautiously 1-2 evenings a week and avoid combining with other strong actives on the same evening. Don't forget sunscreen during the day🌞 Hope the answer can be helpful✨

How often at the beginning?
I have used The Ordinary's retinol 0.5 every other day for two months. How often can I use this when I switch TO for this? - The post was made 2 weeksRating: 5 out of 5verified customer
Perfect for beginners
I use the product once a week to get my skin used to it, I've never used this type of product before since I'm 30+ I get a little red when applying it to my sensitive areas, but that's normal, it goes away after a while and doesn't irritate my sensitive skin.581 views - The post was made 2 weeks
Can i use this product?
I currently use the youth to the people papaya + vitamin c cleanser and the medicube zero pore pads followed by moisturizing products. My skin is used to all the actives and is relatively clear and healthy. However, I wanted to incorporate a product like this to target some texture. I was wondering if it’s okay to use even with the current products i’m using.482 views- The user's roll: Farmaceut på Lyko. The comment was made 2 weeksHi H😊 Yes, you can incorporate Geek & Gorgeous A‑Game 5% Night Cream into your routine. Since your skin is used to actives, start with 2–3 nights per week after cleansing and pore pads, and follow with your moisturizer. Skip other strong exfoliants on those nights, and always use SPF in the morning. It should help improve texture while keeping your skin balanced. If you notice any irritation use the pore pads on different nights than the A-game and patch testing first is recommended🌛 Hope this helps and wishing you a great day💫1 likes

Acne
Does it work for acne and acne scars??960 views- The user's roll: Farmaceut på Lyko. The comment was made 3 weeksHey Zahra😊 Geek & Gorgeous A-Game 5 Night Cream 30ml contains retinal, which can help prevent breakouts and improve skin texture over time through cell renewal. It can also help to soften acne scars, but it is not a quick scar treatment. All skin types react differently, and sunscreen should be used during the day. I hope the answer can be helpful and that you have a lovely day💫1 likes

A-vitamin
I unfortunately can't use this. I mostly want to make everyone aware of something I didn't know, namely that if you have IIH (and probably some other diseases), you should be careful about using A-vitamin (retinol etc.) as it can worsen the condition. No shade on the product or regional or similar topics, I just think I'm giving a little PSA for those who have IIH and use similar products without knowing that these can worsen the symptoms. As I said - no shade on the product itself!! ❤️1632 views - The post was made 1 month
Retinal 0.05

The comment was made 1 monthHi Rossana😊 Yes, it is a good choice for beginners with sensitive skin. A-Game 5 contains a mild strength of retinal (0.05%). Start cautiously 1-2 evenings a week, use a small amount, and follow up with a moisturizing cream. Also, feel free to patch test on a small area first. Gradually increase if the skin feels good, and always use sunscreen during the day. Hope the answer can be helpful and that you have a super nice day💫1 likes

Very good every-day retinoid product
I you are on the look for a retinoid to use every day, this is the one. No irritation, I can even use it on my neck. I am used to more potent formulas (like the Retinal from The Ordinary) but was on the look for something I could actually use every day, and have noticed more improvement than if I was using a stronger formula 3 times a week. (If you are not used to retinoids, please start slowly as indicated in the product! I have been using retinoids for years, and every time I try a new formula, I do start slowly too!). Highly recommended!2180 views - The post was made 2 months

Order
Hi, if I have g\u0026g 0.1 right now, can I step up to 0.2? I don't understand in what order these should be used. I want it for décolletage and face.2754 views- The user's roll: Skin therapist at Lyko. The comment was made 3 monthsHi Kristina, If you are currently using Geek & Gorgeous 0.1 and feel that your skin tolerates it well, you can gradually step up to 0.2. Start by introducing 0.2 a few evenings a week and then gradually increase if your skin does not react with redness or irritation. You can use the product on both your face and décolletage, but be extra careful on sensitive areas and introduce it slowly to minimize irritation. Wishing you a nice day 💗
Geek & GorgeousA-Game 5 Retinal Serum 30 ml
A silky, lightweight emulsion containing a medium-strength amount of retinal to help against all signs of ageing while being gentle on the skin.
Retinal is the "big brother" molecule of the better known anti-aging superstar, retinol. While retinol needs two metabolic conversion steps to reach the active form, retinoic acid, retinal is the direct precursor only one conversion step away from the active form the skin cells understand. It is estimated that retinal can convert more than 10x more efficiently to retinoic acid than retinol, making retinal an outstandingly effective member of the retinoid family (vitamin A family).
Once converted, retinal helps the skin cells to produce more collagen and other structural elements, making the skin more youthful, firm and elastic. It also 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 0.05% retinal serum to the strength and knowledge of a 0.5% retinol product but with less irritation potential and possibly quicker results.
Cruelty-free | Vegan | Fragrance & Essential oil free | Gluten-free
Suitable for anyone who is looking to try out Retinal in their skincare routine. However the texture of this product is more suitable for combination and oily skin.
💘 Why we love it: This product is really a fantastic introduction to reducing skin damage such as pigmentation, wrinkles and lack of glow. Its silky formula is not drying and quickly gives results.
Perfect for: If you are looking to start using a retinoid - start here. Great for acne, wrinkles, pigmentation and over all skin health.
Texture: Yellow light weight cream.
Scent: No fragrance or perfume, smells of nothing.
KEY INGREDIENTS
Retinal (0.05%): An anti-aging superstar ingredient that is the direct precursor of retinoic acid (the active form that the skin cells understand) and shows an outstanding activity/tolerance ratio among topical retinoids.
Allantoin & Panthenol: A classic ingredient duo known for their skin soothing and skin protecting abilities.
Biosaccharide Gum-1: A carbohydrate molecule that has nice skin soothing and moisturizing abilities and makes A-Game even more gentle and silky.
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 other serums) then A-Game. Follow with a moisturiser. Wear a sunscreen SPF 30 or higher in the morning.
If your skin is sensitive, start using A-Game every other day and if well-tolerated, move up to every evening in two weeks. You can try using A-Game around the eye area, but pay attention not to rub it into your eyes.
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.
