A-Game Retinol 5.

"Geek and Gorgeous A-Game Retinol 5 has a meaningful amount of retinol retinaldehyde. It also is fragrance-free, super popular with educated skincare users."

"I've enjoyed both of these products I've been using a retinaldehyde religion ly this year"

"I've got two from Geek & Gorgeous, the A-Game five is the weaker"

"Retinoids are one of the most proven, studied, and researched ways to prevent wrinkles and things like that. Retinol works by inducing the biosynthesis of collagen in skin and promoting skin cell turnover. Geek & Gorgeous A-Game, there's a five or a ten. The ten is stronger, the five is a little bit weaker. They're both great forms of vitamin A or retinal, which is a stronger form of retinoid."

"If you're not into the super strongest retinoids, Geek & Gorgeous has the A-Game 10 and the A-Game 5, which are both more gentle. Always be very cautious starting it, start it slow in your routine, use it with moisturizers. The sandwich method is a great one: in your evening routine you apply a thick moisturizer, then you apply your retinoid, then apply a thicker sleeping mask or a thicker moisturizer over it to prevent dryness. Start out slow, if you're newer to retinoids, mixing one of these with a little bit of moisturizer is not a bad way to start. Slow is the way to go with it. You don't want to start too fast because you don't want to irritate your skin. If you're more experienced, these are some nice options as well."

"It's affordable to begin with and it's even more affordable now. If you are newer to retinoids, their A-Game 5 is the place to start. Then you can go up to 10 and then work your way up to 20. It's a great retinoid serum. It uses retinol which is a little bit stronger and you can certainly ease your way into it starting with A-Game 5. I love them. Fragrance-free, really easy to add into your routine, sandwich it between two moisturizers, you're good to go. And it's wonderful for anti-aging as well as if you get acne or things like that."

"I would start out with the Geek & Gorgeous A-Game 5, mix it with moisturizer and then apply it and do it twice a week, one day skip three days and then do it again. Just mix a tiny, tiny, tiny amount, like a pea-sized amount, and mix it in with your moisturizer, let it soak in for a minute and then apply another moisturizer layer over it. That's going to be the key. If you can mix it, that stuff is very strong. Do twice a week, maybe once a week for the first month or so and see how it handles. Layering a good moisturizer over it is the key to make sure you don't get your skin too dry."

"Retinol is the gold standard for anti-aging along with vitamin C. The nice thing with Geek & Gorgeous is they have a variety of strengths. If you're new to retinoids, you can start out with their A-Game Retinol 5. It's got 0.5% retinol. This is a great one to start with. Start using it at night. Use a good moisturizer along with it after and before it. Sandwich it in between two moisturizers."

"You could use this or you could use a lower dose of the Geek & Gorgeous A-Game. They do three strength. So you could go for the lowest which is the A-Game 5 as an alternative to this one."

"I would then recommend getting a retinoid, so a retinal is the best. Geek & Gorgeous, great, love their product. They do an A-Game Five, really gentle, great for beginners. Use that on an evening after you've washed the face, cleanse the skin, put that on. On the morning, cleanse the skin, put your sunscreen on. Start with finding a cleanser you like, a sunscreen that you like, and get the Geek & Gorgeous A-Game Five as your retinoid. Wash the face, sunscreen on the morning, retinol on an evening, you will love it."

"Start with the five and work your way up. But all of them are packed full of moisturizing ingredients, hctants, and calming and soothing components."
