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!! <318145 views - The post was made 1 week

Got rid of my pimples
This got rid of my pimples! I had small pimples and bumps that are now gone. I didn’t get dry or red from this (important to moisturize after use).709 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator. The post was made 2 weeksRating: 5 out of 5
Fantastic and affordable
I got this product with a Lyko Lovables and really love it! My skin can sometimes be sensitive, but this one is really gentle and my skin feels soft and smooth after use. Big ⭐️ for the price! It is also incredibly economical. The bottle isn’t very big, but it has lasted incredibly long. It says it’s best suited for oily and combination skin, but I have quite dry skin and I think it works great. My skin has felt hydrated and soft since I started using it.1809 views- The user's roll: Skin therapist at Lyko. The comment was made 2 weeksSo nice to hear, Jessica! 🤍 I think these are great - effective and affordable, and definitely as you say, also for drier skin since it also contains, for example, glycerin👌🏻1 likes

Is the color supposed to be
Neon yellow?1146 views- The user's roll: Lyko Creator. The comment was made 3 weeksHi Leni! That's correct, it can actually be neon yellow/bright yellow 😊 Geek & Gorgeous have mentioned that the bright yellow color comes from the high concentration of retinal in the product, but that the color should fade when you apply it. Have a great day!1 likes

Retinal for beginners🌸
Affordable retinal suitable for beginners. Did not notice any irritation on my skin. Does not stain bed linens. Used this before I switched to A-game 10💓 #lykoreview #retinal3255 views - The post was made 1 month
Usage
Can it work to use this every other day and alternate with COSRX BHA Blackhead Power Liquid every other day? Or could it be too much for the skin?2157 views- The user's roll: Customer service at Lyko. The comment was made 1 monthHello Emelie! 👋 Alternating these products on different evenings can work well for many, but build up slowly and listen to your skin. Start with 2 evenings per week for the first two weeks, increase to every other evening in weeks 3-4 if the skin feels stable, and continue alternating as long as the skin remains calm. Pause for a few days if the skin becomes dry or irritated 🫶 You might need to use a more moisturizing cream than you currently do since these products both have a slightly drying effect. Keep the rest of your routine gentle and remember to always use SPF in the morning 😎☀️ Good luck!

Love
Have tried many retinols and this is the first one my skin appreciates and can handle! Gentle on the skin and perfect for daily use (after you have gotten your skin used to it, of course). Looking forward to stepping up a level and starting to use 0.1!2113 views - The post was made 2 months

Geek & GorgeousA-Game 5 Retinal Serum 30 ml
Temporarily out of stock
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.
