Geek&Gorgeous 101 A-Game - 20 0.2% Retinal Serum

I am very pleased with Geek & Gorgeous A-Game 20. What makes this formula stand out is the addition of 1% ectoin, which is included to soothe the skin, support the skin barrier, hydrate and help reduce irritation caused by retinoids. It also contains panthenol and allantoin for additional soothing benefits.Despite containing a strong 0.2% retinal concentration, I found it less aggressive than other retinal products I have tried. I have sensitive skin, but after introducing it gradually, my skin tolerated it very well. The texture is lovely silky, lightweight and easy to spread and it absorbs without feeling greasy or heavy and it’s no fragrance.With consistent use, my skin feels smoother and looks clearer and more even. It has also helped with acne, post-blemish marks and fine lines. Geek & Gorgeous is a reliable company that offers effective, well-formulated skincare at a reasonable price. I would happily purchase this again.

Love this product. Ive worked my way up the strengths gradually- never had any bad reactions and I love the way my skin looks the morning after I use it each time/generally since being a long time user.I started using G&G retinal because I developed hormonal breakouts on my cheeks around age 25, and for context, my skin is generally on the drier side. I really feel like this accelerates the natural skin process so any breakouts clear within a day or 2, my hyperpigmentation and scars are fading faster, and after consistent use, I generally have much fewer breakouts now anyway and Ive even had compliments that my skin's glowing! Be sure to use sparingly and controlled, have patience, and always wear SPF! Feels like a skin reset for me and then I can just look after hydrating my skin barrier without making a potion of active ingredients on my face (learnt this the hard way back in the day- utterly destroyed my skin barrier). Purposeful ingredients, easy to use, great airtight pump packaging, and for a reasonable price compared to flashy/gimmicky/overpriced competitor products. Mwah!

Love this product. I started retinal with the lowest percentage from the same brand to get used to it and avoid any bad reaction. After 6 months I'm now moving to a higher dosage. In term of price for the value, you won't find anything better than that.It delivers the perfect amount. I have a very sensitive skin and it's the only retinal that didn't irritate me. It really helped on acne scars and sun stains, but it takes time to see results

I love this retinal. I use it on my neck and decolletage nightly. It's the highest percentage of retinal you can get. It's very gentle. Retinal is 11 times stronger than over the counter retinol. There is no fragrance. Its not oily. Absorbs easily. Let it absorb for atleast 20 min before you use a moisturizer over it.

Was using Medik8 but is so expensive and this was recommended on TikTok as a good dupe. We'll see how we get on but after first use, I do like it. Not the same as Medik8 but as a cheaper alternative, it's acceptable

This must be one of the most underrated but effective retinal that it's out there. It's very smooth and my skin never experienced breakouts or any other reactions. You only need 2 small pumps to apply to your skin inc neck and absorpts really quickly

Love this product. It's now my go to retinal and I never use anything else now. A little goes a long way and this offers great value for money compared to other brands I've tried. With consistent use I've seen a definite improvement in fine lines around my eyes and my "11s" are much fainter. Definitely recommended.

This brand is fantastic. I couldn’t fault any of their products.This particular retinal is excellent. You have to build up to this level gradually but the results are amazing. It smooths your skin, brightens it and evens out skin tone. It helps with fine lines and wrinkles. I see a huge difference in my skin. I’m 54 and always get told I look 40.I used to buy a luxury brand retinal which was also excellent but almost 6 times the price of this.If you’ve tried retinol before and had irritation, redness, burning or peeling then you need to try retinal. It’s a different game altogether.

Waited a while to review to see how the serum worked on my mature skin. This serum is the best. Very easy to apply to face and doesn't take more than a pea sized amount to cover my entire face. It didn't cause any flaky or dry skin. After consistently using, starting out every other night and then to nightly, is has improved skin tone, and wrinkles are not as noticeable. It has a silky lightweight texture. Overall, my skin looks much better. Price is great. I am very happy with the results and am sure will see more improvement over time. Thanks so much for a great product.

This product optimizes price and product in a very good way. Super good!

Ottimo prodotto a base di retinale, solo che essendo più forte rispetto allo 0,1 lo utilizzo massimo 3 sere a settimana, alternandolo con siero alla vit. C, crema riparatrice, o retinale della stessa marca allo 0.1. Confermo che i risultati sono ben visibili, la pelle appare liscia, tonica e luminosa. La marca ha un ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. Super consigliato!

Retinol w przeciwieństwie do retinolu nie podrażnia. Wcześniej używałam mniejsze stężenia tej marki, to też jest świetne
