Geek & Gorgeous 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.

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

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

Love this retinal!

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

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

One of my favorite retinals for a really good price

I’ve used other retinols before, so my skin is used to vitamin A, but I was still super surprised by how gentle this Geek & Gorgeous A-Game 10 is. Zero irritation, redness, or peeling, and it didn't even sting when I used it near my eye area. Since I have oily skin, texture is super important to me. This cream is lightweight, non-greasy, and doesn't feel heavy or sticky at all. It absorbs really nicely without making my skin dry. I've been using it for about 2-3 weeks now. It's a bit too early to see big anti-aging results (and honestly, fine lines aren't my main issue right now), though my skin does feel slightly firm right after applying it. Most importantly, it hasn't triggered any breakouts or reactions. If you have sensitive skin, I think this formula is really safe to try, but definitely do a patch test first just to be safe! Overall, it’s a super comfortable, non-tacky retinal that works great for oily skin.

Ich verwende es seit einigen Monaten. Trotz empfindlicher Haut vertrage ich es gut (.. man sollte es aber richtig anwenden!) Es zieht schnell ein und hinterlässt ein angenehmes Hautgefühl. Es passt gut in meine Routine und macht ein schönes Hautbild, ob es meine Falten glättet, kann ich nicht sagen - ich bin trotzdem sehr zufrieden! 😅 Ich habe es bereits mehrfach nachgekauft. Der Preis ist unschlagbar für das was man erhält..
