DESCRIPTION
Geek & Gorgeous A-Game 5 Retinal Serum is a silky, lightweight emulsion with a medium strength dose of retinal to target visible signs of ageing while staying gentle on the skin.
Retinal is the older sibling of the better known anti ageing ingredient retinol. Retinol needs two conversion steps before it becomes retinoic acid in the skin, while retinal is only one step away. It is thought to convert to retinoic acid around ten times faster than retinol, which makes it a very efficient member of the vitamin A family.
Once converted, retinal helps skin cells to produce more collagen and other structural elements, so the skin looks firmer, bouncier and more elastic. It also speeds up the renewal of the upper skin layers, helping the complexion to appear smoother, more even and refined.
Benefits:
- Targets fine lines and early signs of ageing
- Helps improve firmness and elasticity
- Refines texture and supports a more even skin tone
- Can be used alongside products that target pigmentation
- Suitable as part of a routine for acne prone skin
A 0.05 percent retinal serum can be compared to a mid strength retinol formula, typically in the 0.2 to 0.5 percent range, but with less potential for irritation and with results that may appear more quickly.
HOW TO USE
- Use in the evening only.
- After cleansing, apply any liquid or gel type products first, such as toner or other serums.
- Smooth a pea sized amount of A-Game 5 over the face.
- Follow with a moisturiser.
- Always wear a broad spectrum SPF 30 or higher during the day while using vitamin A products.
If your skin is new to retinal, start by using it a few evenings a week and slowly increase frequency as your skin becomes more comfortable with it.
