If you loved A-Game 10 and you feel your skin is ready for the next level, then try A-Game 20!

How to use A-Game 20?
Apply 1-2 pumps to the face in the PM & distribute it evenly across your face. In your evening routine, apply liquid and gel-type products first after cleansing (for example a toner, or our other gel serums such as HA 5), then your milky serums (like Power Peptides), followed by A-Game. Finish your routine with a moisturizer. Wear a sunscreen of SPF 30 or greater in the morning.
If you are using A-Game 20 for the first time, phase in application starting at 1-2 times per week for two weeks. If well-tolerated, move up to every other evening in two weeks and finally - if your skin tolerates it - every night. Depending on your skin's sensitivity, you may be able to use A-Game 20 around your eyes and on your neck, but please only use a small amount, adjusting frequency based on your skin's individual level of tolerance.
Good to know: A-Game has a bright yellow color due to the high concentration of Retinal in it. Based on our experience, it dissipates on the skin and does not leave a yellow tint on surfaces. If you still experience residual color, you can minimize it by leaving time for the product to fully absorb & using a moisturizer on top. Any marks can be removed by washing your clothes & fabrics with your regular detergent.
Shelf life: 12 months from production (unopened), 6 months PAO (period after opening)
What is retinal?
What is retinal?
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 (aka Tretinoin), 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 faster 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 also 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.
