Even though Geek & Gorgeous is a young brand, if I want to go back to our beginnings, that would be more than 15 years ago. I was 17 when I developed horrible acne. For years, I tried out a bunch of things including tons of cosmetic products, facials, and visits to the dermatologist. What eventually helped was not some miracle cure but me starting to learn about skincare and clinically proven active ingredients. After years of randomly trying things and failing, I started to obsessively read and learn. I read all the books by Paula Begoun and then went on to read the famous Cosmetic Dermatology book by Dr. Leslie Baumann. I read more and more science based skincare blogs, forums, and eventually research studies. In 2019, I completed the SCS Diploma in Cosmetic Science issued by the Society of Cosmetic Chemists in the UK.

I have only been using the Agame 10 for a couple weeks now, it is my favourite vitamin A product used thus far in my many years of active skin care. -absorbs and spreads easily into skin -has caused less irritation than many other retinol products ( which is impressive considering it is retinal / even more bio available to do it’s work) I suggest starting with the Agame 5 if new to vit a. I apply after cleansing, gentle exfoliation , onto a dry skin, allow 20 mins before applying a hyaluronic acid and ceramide rich moisturiser on top. My skin is glowing each morning, On the odd occasion I can get a little dry (normal for vit a) And will have a nights break. 10/10 product , especially at this price point.

Took me a long time to find these eye drops. I’ve had excellent response from Pharmacy Club in Granada, Spain. I especially like their app. They are quick to respond. I placed my order on Monday and had it by Friday!

Description
GEEK & GORGEOUS
REVIEWS
Good to know: This product is for experienced retinoid users. If you are starting out, we recommend A-Game 5, our mid-strength retinal serum.
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 (aka tretinoin), 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 pigmention, as well as helping acne-prone skin.
In terms of strength and knowledge, we would compare our 0.1% retinal serum to the strength and knowledge of a 1% retinol product but with less irritation potential and possibly quicker results.
We recommend this product if you have already used our A-Game 5, loved it and you feel that your skin is ready for the next level. In terms of texture, this product is more comfortable for combination and oily skin.
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 our other serums such as HA 5 or B-Bomb) then A-Game. Follow with a moisturizer! Wear a sunscreen SPF 30 or greater in the morning!
If you are using A-Game 10 for the first time, phase in application starting at 2-3 times per week for two weeks. If well-tolerated, move up to every other evening in two weeks and finally - if your skin tolerates it - every night. Do not use around the eye area.
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.
Key ingredients:
Retinal (0.1%) – 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.
