A silky, lightweight emulsion containing a high-strength amount of retinal to help against all signs of ageing. Good to know: This product is for experienced retinoid users. If you are starting out, we recommend A-Game 5.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 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 0.1% retinal serum to the strength and knowledge of a 1% retinol product but with less irritation potential and possibly quicker results. Cruelty-free | Vegan | Fragrance & Essential oil free | Gluten-free Suitable for skin that has already used retinol products before or have used Geek & Gorgeous A-Game 5 and feel comfortable going up a level in strength. Texture - this product is more suitable for combination and oily skin and for those who want to boost their firmness and reduce pigmentation and signs of ageing. Why we love it: This product a great at reversing skin damage such as pigmentation, wrinkles and lack of glow.
