- Allantoin + Panthenol: A classic duo of ingredients well known for their skin soothing and protective properties.
- Biosaccharide Gum-1: A carbohydrate molecule that has a pleasant ability to soothe and moisturize the skin, making A-Game even softer and silkier.

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 your skin is very sensitive, start using A-Game 5 every other day for the first 15 days. If your skin tolerates it, after this 15-day period, you can start using it daily. You can apply A-Game 5 on the eye contour, but be careful not to get it inside the eyes.
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.
Shelf life: 18 months from production (unopened), 6 months PAO (period after opening)

A-Game 5
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 5 is a must-have product for treating aging intelligently, but it is also useful as an adjunct product for treating hyperpigmentation problems, as well as for helping acne-prone skin and its resulting marks.
In terms of potency and knowledge, we compare our 0.05% retinal serum to the potency and efficacy of a 0.5% retinol product but being potentially less irritating and with faster results.
