Description
The Geek & Gorgeous 101 A-Game 20 is the highest strength serum in the A-Game line, formulated with 0.2% stabilized sustained-release Retinal and 1% Ectoin to visibly help combat all signs of aging. It's a silky, lightweight emulsion, perfect for all skin types.
Retinal is the "big brother" of the more well-known Retinol. While Retinol requires two metabolic conversion steps to reach its active form (retinoic acid or tretinoin), Retinal is the immediate precursor, just one step away from the active form that skin cells understand. It is estimated that Retinal converts to retinoic acid over 10 times faster than Retinol, making it a highly effective member of the retinoid family (vitamin A family).

Once converted, Retinal helps skin cells produce more collagen and other building blocks, making the skin more youthful, firm, and elastic. It also speeds up the renewal process of the upper layers of the skin, making it smoother and more even. A-Game is an essential smart aging product, but it is also useful as a supplementary product for fading hyperpigmentation and helping acne-prone skin.
Good to know: This product is for very experienced retinoid users. If you are just starting out, we recommend building up your skin's tolerance by starting with A-Game 5 (medium strength Retinal serum), then progressing to A-Game 10 (high strength Retinal serum) before trying A-Game 20.
