- Most helpful positiveThe post was made 10 monthsRating: 5 out of 5verified customerAmazing!!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!! <321970 views

- The post was made 1 dayRating: 5 out of 5TOP OF THE TOPI absolutely love this retinal! 🫶🏼 The 0.05% concentration is a perfect hit for me – it works and at the same time is really gentle on the skin. I didn’t experience any irritation, redness, or unpleasant dryness, which is a huge plus for me. I also really appreciate that I can introduce retinal into my skincare without stress about skin reactions. And the price! It’s super affordable for retinal, so you don’t have to spend a fortune to find a great product. Definitely one of my skincare hits and TOP OF THE TOP! ❤️ #lykoreview381 views

The post was made 1 weekRating: 5 out of 5verified customerMild and goodI think this is a perfect retinol for beginners✨ It is mild with a strength of 0.05% retinal, Fragrance-free and gentle. I was worried that my skin would get irritated starting with retinol, but with this product I haven't noticed any irritation at all. I haven't used it super long so I don't know how the long-term results with fine lines and texture will be. But so far I am satisfied. Geek & Gorgeous is also cruelty free! Would recommend this since it is also relatively affordable. #lykocommunity #retinol #retinal #antiage #skincare #beauty #crueltyfree1153 views
- The user's roll: Lyko Creator. The post was made 1 weekRating: 5 out of 5Savior in NeedSince my early teens, I've had acne problems that just won't go away. I've tried most products that work for others but not for me. I've also felt unsure about acne medication since it has received mixed reviews. 🫣 At the beginning of this year, I felt it was enough and was even recommended this very product! I started slowly with once a week and increased monthly. Now it's been 10 months, and I don't understand why I didn't try this earlier! I hardly have any deep pimples that hurt anymore, and if I get them, they heal so quickly and nicely thanks to retinal🥳 It has truly saved my skin, and I don't have the same anxiety about my acne as I used to!🙏 Safe to say, if you're thinking about buying, this is your sign! Magic in a bottle!✨936 views
- The post was made 1 weekThe questionHi, you’re not supposed to use retinal during pregnancy or breastfeeding, but what if you have a baby who is not breastfeeding? It’s very close to the baby, who often pulls and is close to your face, so to speak. How does it work? How long does it take before everything has absorbed into the skin and there’s no risk of anything transferring to a nearby baby?984 views
- The user's roll: Customer service at Lyko. The comment was made 1 weekHi Emelie! 👋 With a baby who likes to be close and pulls on the face, it’s right to consider this. The manufacturer states that A-Game should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding, but there is no information on how long it takes for the serum to be fully absorbed, or if anything can be transferred to a baby through skin contact. Therefore, I can’t give you a safe timeframe. The safest is to ask the child health center, midwife, or doctor, who can assess your specific situation 🤍1 likes

- The post was made 2 weeks5 or 10??If I ran an A game 5 without reaction but had a 3-month break, should I run 5 again or can I go for 10?1414 views
- The user's roll: Customer service at Lyko. The comment was made 2 weeksHi! 😊 After a three-month break, it's best to introduce A-Game 10 gradually, even though A-Game 5 worked without any reaction. It might also be an idea to start with 5 again and then move on to 10.

- The user's roll: Customer service at Lyko. The comment was made 3 weeksHello! Yes, that would work really well! It contains 0.05% retinal, so it is relatively mild. A good first retinol product if you are also sensitive ☺️ Start with 1-2 evenings a week and slowly increase the days, so your skin can get used to the new product. All the best!

Geek & GorgeousA-Game 5 Retinal Serum 30 ml
Free delivery option available from 300 kr, can be sent immediately
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.
