Looking to target (the first) signs of aging? The A-Game 5 (0.05% retinal) by Geek & Gorgeous gently helps to target fine lines and wrinkles.
We all know the anti-aging superstar retinol, but have you heard of its’ bigger brother retinal? The A-Game 5 (30 ml) is a medium-strength retinal (0.05%) and perfect for anyone who wants to start with a gentle, yet effective, anti-aging approach. We prefer retinal, because it is estimated to convert more than ten times faster to retinoic acid - the active form - than retinol!
Retinoic acids
Retinoic acids, also known as Vitamin A, are the most used and the most studied anti-aging compounds when it comes to reducing fine lines and wrinkles. They also help with uneven texture by speeding up the renewal process of the upper skin layers. The result? Smooth and even skin. Finally, retinal helps the skin cells to produce more collagen, making the skin more youthful, firm and elastic.
The A-Game 5 is formulated beautifully to reduce the risk of sensitivity. Asides from retinal, it contains soothing ingredients such as allantoin and panthenol to calm and protect your skin.
Please note
Don’t expect retinal to cure your skin concerns in a heartbeat! Give retinal some time and your skin will be forever grateful.

How to use
How to use
If you're using the A-Game 5 for the first time, we recommend phasing in application gradually. Start with 2-3 times per week for two weeks, then progress to every other evening over the next two weeks. If your skin tolerates it well, you can eventually use it every night. Avoid the eye area during application.
1) In your evening routine, apply liquid and gel-type products first (for example a toner or a hydrating serum)
2) Then apply a pea sized amount of A-Game 5 to the face
3) Follow with a moisturizer
4) Always wear a sunscreen (SPF 50) the next morning and don't forget to reapply throughout the day
