INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Apply a pea-sized amount to the face, neck and décolleté every night. You can previously apply liquid or geloid textured products such as for example: Toners, our Exfoliants liquids or serums such as HA5 or B-Bomb. Remember to apply a cream with SPF 15 or higher every morning!
If you are using A-Game 10 for the first time, start the application 2 to 3 times a week for two weeks. If well tolerated, move to every other day for 2 weeks and finally, if your skin tolerates it and you do not feel any adverse effects, every night. Do not use around the eye area.
Good to know: A-Game has a bright yellow color that comes from the retinal. Based on our experience, it dissipates on skin contact and leaves no yellow residue on the surface.

MAIN CHARACTERISTICS
Retinal is the molecule of the "big brother" Retinol, which has been touted as the anti-aging superstar. While Retinol needs two metabolic conversion steps to reach the active form of retinoic acid (also known as tretinoin), Retinal is a direct precursor, and only needs one conversion step to reach the active form that actually takes effect in the skin cells. It is estimated that Retinal can be converted to retinoic acid up to 10 times faster than retinol itself, making Retinal an exceptionally effective member of the retinoid (Vitamin A) family.
Once converted, Retinal helps skin cells produce more collagen and other structural elements, making the skin younger, firmer and more elastic. It also accelerates the renewal process of the upper layers of the skin, making it smoother and more even. A-Game 10 is a must-have product for treating aging intelligently, but is also useful as an adjunct product to treat hyperpigmentation problems, as well as to help acne-prone skin and its resulting marks.
In terms of potency and knowledge, we compare our 0.1% retinal serum to the potency and efficacy of a 1% retinol product but being potentially less irritating and with faster results.
