"My husband uses the Geek & Gorgeous A-Game retinols since I'm on Tretinoin and can't test an over-the-counter retinol. He usually uses the A-Game 10 because there's no difference in effect or irritation potential between the strengths. The A-Game 20, their newest and strongest version, takes longer to sink in and leaves a yellowish cast in his stubble that he doesn't like, while the 10 doesn't do that. If you aren't as hairy in the face, the 20 might still be a good option. [...] These are the ones I keep purchasing for him."

"If you're looking for a budget-friendly retinol, the Geek and Gorgeous A-Game is the most budget-friendly one I've seen. I feel like it doesn't really make my skin look as nice as the other retinol products, and I think that's because it's just got less supporting ingredients, but this is a good option if you just want to try a retinol and you don't want to spend too much money."
