@@MadAboutSkin Before medik8 20, I used dr difference vital 0.1 retinal, before it I had used by whishtrend 0.03 retinal , but best of all is medik 8 cyristal retinal 20, very high percentage however not irritating, after that ı will reach treninin 0.1 because medik8 is very expensive ,

I love this product. I use it 2 years now and im obsessed. So strong and gentle at the same time!

A313 French Retinol. Not drying and does plump, just not as strong as others for wrinkles and pigmentation. But the others just make my skin drag down.

I used the crystal medik8 but is too expensive I switched to A Game 10 geek and gorgeous that you recommended and i am satisfied

I would love to know how you used this given it is a gentle formula. What other products did you use before or after...if any? 😊

A game 10 doesn’t layer well with my skin care. I love the crystal retinal 10. I am paying but I am loving it and what it does. Also I don’t have everything stained like I do with the A game 10. I love the a pad , c glow and stress less serums, but the a game 10 is a no go for me :(

Hadn't tried it, but ordered both Avene A-Oxitive and Geek and Gorgeous A-10. Avene is 40 Euro, on sale closer to 30 over here. G&G was 18 Euro. How long did it take you to finish the tube?

Isn’t it better to get a prescription for your retinoid of choice than it is to pay these ridiculous prices for an over the counter retinoid?

Good point tom and if your skin can tolerate it then in most cases tret would be cheaper than this.. love xx

Some people, especially with rosacea (such as myself) just can’t tolerate tretinoin, as in keep the side effects at bay. Regardless of my perfect routine at the time, the only thing that helped was slugging and I despised it. Other prescription retinoids haven’t been proven to reduce wrinkles quite just yet. It’s obvious it doesn’t work as well as tret but unsure how they compare to OTC. Retinal (I don’t pay the price for this one) is the only OTC retinoid that gives me quick results without any dryness. I use the G&G 10 or the Avene A-Oxitive Night Peeling Cream. Maybe in a few years, the slugging will be worth it and I’ll try tret again. But retinal definitely has its place.

​​@@lucyj8519 don't give up hope, Lucy. I had used Tret with Dermatica and hated it. My face was soooooooo sore all the time, terrible peeling that didn't subside. No matter what I did, it just wasn't working for me. I would do the whole sandwiching thing with moisturiser and even used vaseline to seal it all in. Nothing. I got so upset and the Dermatica staff were hopeless. Told me it was the gold standard...Yadda. I had tried it for a year before I stopped using it then thought I'd give Skin & Me a go. They're a tiny bit more expensive, but they added Azeliac Acid as well as Niacinamide. Their tret starts at a much lower strength than Dermatica, but that is absolutely a blessing. The Dermatica tret is way too strong, especially for first time users. I've been with Skin & Me for about 5 months now and I'm still on 0.03%. It works soooo well, I'm actually seeing results. I never saw any with Dermatica. They build up the strength very gradually and it just works a whole lot better. I also have rosacea and this has been amazing. My symptoms have gone! I think the other ingredients helped with that too :) Good luck!

I tried the crystal retinal 6. I think it was at least and it's great but now on the higher strength geek. I'm used to that though and use it everyday. I'm wondering now if i need to use tret.

They also have a 10 you could try, or just jump onto tret

I understand it’s gentler to the skin esp for those sensitive to retinol but does it work, as far as anti-aging? Is your skin brighter, with obvious less wrinkles. I mean you are young with young skin😅 Appreciate the honest opinion. Ty.

Just curious about how long it took for you to get through that tube. According to their customer support, you should be able to get 100 applications out of it. Is that true?

@MadAboutSkin

Ай бұрын

Good question and I think you would get about 70 applications from it in my opinion which does make it a decent price when you think of it like that.. love x

Haven’t tried this…I’m too cheap 😂 but…I love the Elf retinal you recommended in another video.

@@nn7397 yes is more creamy, they yellow serum of game 10 is more dry but I use my moisturizer on top. Medik8 is too expensive and also retinal. Both are good products the big difference here is price wise. Doesn’t make sense to pay 80-100 euros for the same action.

I bought the 10 strength last summer when there was a sale at SkinStore, and I love it, because the formula is so well-absorbed by my skin, with no irritating side effects. BUT I only buy it on sale. I actually won't be repurchasing when I run out of the current tube because I'm going to try the Avene retrinal next, also bought on sale. I'm happy with retinaldehyde, it's so much gentler than tretinoin was for me. Keep up the great work!

So expensive lol omg

Maybe someone will make a dupe
