A-Game 10 0.1% Retinal Serum – High-Strength, Silky, Lightweight Anti-Aging Care for All Skin Types, Especially Oily & Combination, 30ml

A little bit of a premature review as I've only had this serum for just over a week, but even this early on I'm pretty blown away with the results! I've used retinal very recently on and off & my skin tolerated it ok, so whilst debating whether to start at 0.5% or 1.0%, after researching, I decided to go with 1.0% because of prior use of retinal and I don't suffer with sensituve skin. Very glad I did. The serum seems to be having an amazing effect fading my dark spots and pigmentation. My skin looks clearer and smoother already. I noticed a difference from the first use! So far I've had no sensitivity issues. The serum is clearly potent and I do feel a very slight sting immediately after application, but my tip would be to pair with a very soothing highly moisturing face cream to protect the skin barrier (I use Korean Madeca Centellian 24 cream in purple tube). Obviously it's also a non negotiable to have a very good SPF. I use Beauty of Joseon SPF 50 which is amazing. I honestly think the use of these 2 products has really assisted this serum in working so well so quickly, and has reduced any potential side effects. Over time I'd hope to see an effect on the lines on my forehead and continued improvement in overall skin texture/clarity. Maybe I'll edit the review over the next few months to update on progress. Then potentially upgrade to 2.0% if needed, but not for a while. I'd say be very careful if you have never used retinal before (start on the lower 0.5%) and make sure your skin barrier is not compromised. Also use SPF daily and invest in a soothing high quality moisturiser. So far I'm very impressed with this newly discovered brand, which is such good value for money & offers high quality performance. I am also going to try the C Glow Vitamin C serum from this brand too, which I've heard very good things about!

A very effective Retinal cream to smooth away the first sign of aging. After continuous application, the skin feels smoother, more supple and more even in tone. It also feels stronger and more elastic. The cream has a light, jelly-creamy consistency, it is odourless and it creates a light protective screen. The product is comedogenic-free. I always apply a hyaluronic acid serum as a first step at night when going about my facial routine, followed by the Geek & Gorgeous 0.1% cream, and then I use a regular moisturiser before going to bed. My skin is brighter and more rested in the morning and I can start my morning facial routine. I have not experienced any redness or discomfort. I will move on to the 0.2% cream in a little while.

Really impressed with this retinal serum. It feels lightweight on the skin and absorbs easily without leaving it greasy or sticky. I’ve been using it as part of my evening skincare routine and my skin feels smoother and looks more refreshed. A little goes a long way, so the bottle should last a good while. I’ve had no issues with the texture and really like how simple it is to add to my routine. Great product and I’d definitely buy it again.

Good retinal for sensitive skins. I apply it twice a week at night, avoiding the eye area, followed by a moisturiser after half an hour, and spf50+ with high UVA protection (from the Altruist) every morning. I started with another cream with 0.05% concentration, first once a week, then twice a week. I do not use any other exfoliant on my face and neck, but I had no problem with vitamin C and niacinamide serums applied the same days I use the serum- just not the same nights-. I avoid creams with fragrance, denatured alcohol, essential oils, other allergens, and comedogenic ingredients. The package is much better than the wasteful Medik8 crystal retinal. The effect on me was visible after 1-2 months, mostly on wrinkles and pore size, but not on my hyperpigmentation.

I love this product! It’s a great beginner into the world of retinol as I’ve got quite sensitive / oily skin. I noticed a change within a week or so with my how bright my skin looked after looking dull for so long. No fragrance to it and the texture is nice, soft, not sticky or greasy.

Works for me incredibly well.... This might be the hidden gem. Been using it for a couple of weeks with cleanser before and moisturiser after in the evenings and the difference it makes... well done.

Not sure if its making a difference as been over a month ive been using. Might try The Ordinary brand. It stings if face aint dried and has a weird smell. I use at night as has a yellow tint whilst on

Best retinal I have tried. I've been using it for 6 months now, no peeling, no irritation, and visibly reduced my acne marks.

Texture fantastica, lascia la pelle idratata e per niente secca. Non ho mai avuto bruciori, fin dal primo utilizzo.

Ich nutze das Retinal inzwischen regelmäßig am Abend und bin wirklich sehr zufrieden. Meine Haut verträgt das Produkt gut und mein Hautbild wirkt insgesamt ebenmäßiger und ruhiger. Gerade bei Unreinheiten habe ich den Eindruck, dass sich meine Haut deutlich verbessert hat. Das Serum lässt sich leicht auftragen, zieht gut ein und fühlt sich angenehm auf der Haut an. Wichtig ist allerdings, Retinal langsam in die Pflegeroutine einzubauen und es nicht jeden Abend zu verwenden, besonders wenn man gerade erst damit beginnt. Anschließend verwende ich immer eine Feuchtigkeitscreme, damit die Haut gut gepflegt bleibt. Wer Retinal benutzt, sollte außerdem tagsüber auf einen ausreichenden Sonnenschutz achten, da die Haut empfindlicher gegenüber UV-Strahlung werden kann. Insgesamt bin ich mit dem Produkt sehr zufrieden. Für mich ist es inzwischen ein fester Bestandteil meiner Hautpflegeroutine und ich würde es jederzeit wieder kaufen.

بعد شهر من الاستخدام اشوفه ممتاز، بس لازم يكون بالثلاجة، لكن النجمتين لانه وصلني بدون كرتون وبدون غلاف والغطا مفتوح ومرمي وسط ظرف الطرود، فما عجبتني ابدا طريقة الشحن رغم ان الشحن مو مجاني، لكن للامانة مو مبين انه مستخدم وما كان متسرب، لكن مو طريقة احترافية لشحن منتج تجميلي ويتأثر بالحرارة

I am a big fan of Geek & Gorgeous and I am so glad I tried this retinal serum. I use this daily at night and I notice how smooth and healthy my skin looks. It has limited ingredients, is very lightweight and has no odor. I highly recommend this product and this brand and the value is amazing too!

One of my favorite retinals for a really good price
