As the resident Hungarian KZfaq skincare crawler, I always love it when someone likes G&G. 💙 Their customer service is stellar, the products are great, and as an added bonus to the Eastern European region (where k-beauty and pharmacy brands are usually very expensive), you can actually buy a lot of their stuff in-store. Pretty good brand!

@mariazak37 8 ай бұрын

totally agree!!!! I live in Italy and use G&G from 2021 love everything, never complaint top quality

@eugeniaq8875 8 ай бұрын

I love Geek & Gorgeous! I think they are able to keep costs down because, while they have partnered here with Renee, who is a reliable influencer (I do trust her picks), I don't see multi-million dollar ads and commercials. They focus on product rather than advertisements and fake celebrity endorsements. Therefore, they rightfully earned themselves a cult status and following. I hope they make a peptide serum next - one with copper peptides.

A-Game changed my skin! No other product has made an obvious difference like this has, and (perhaps in part because I started by buffering with moisturiser) I had no sensitivity when I started using it. The packaging really sold me on it too because I have a disability that can make me too clumsy for little dropper bottles.

i love that you're partnering up with G&G in this video! they are one of my favourite brands. i remember being sceptical about them when i first hear about them years ago, and then you suddenly featured them and i was sold. their A-game 10 is my holy grail nightly neck and eye treatment, and Liquid Hydration has surprisingly become one of my favourite mists. it's so effective and soothing on the skin! cannot wait to try their Mighty Melt once my stock of A-game runs out and i have to place another order with them. additionally, i find their serums to be very, very cosmetically elegant! even though i have no room in my routine for them any more, i would highly recommend them. most other serums pill on me once i apply SPF and makeup on top, but the ones from G&G never did.

Big big recommendation for A-Game 5, gave my combo acne prone skin with PIE better results with no irritation than Adapalene. Plus amazing texture that leaves smooth skin hours upon application and is enjoyable to use, airless packaging and wonderful price. I have no intention chasing other retinal products now i found it, only maybe upgrade to 10 after some time 😊

I just found this brand recently & I'm DEFINITELY ordering the prickly pear AHA/BHA toner (my dry, 48 yr old skin LOVES prickly pear). I feel a lot better about ordering from a new to me brand when it has Gothamista's approval ... then I'm all in! Girl, have you tried products from Slurp Laboratories, yet? Trust me ... If you're serious about skin care, anti aging, formulation, etc this is THE BRAND! I've been using their Hyaluid comprehensive topical youth supplement (it's a serum, not a pill) for years & it's something I cannot live without (& it pairs beautifully with tret).

@taylorburleson9024 4 ай бұрын

I just subscribed, because I appreciate your honesty with the retinol. The color on pillow cases with me is not a deal breaker so I might try it next. I just started using the C glow from geek and gorgeous, and it’s an exact dupe from skin cuticles other than the consistency. (I actually love the GNG consistency better) Either way I’m in love with it.

I love G&G! I discovered this brand thanks to you during the pandemic and A-game (0.05 and then 0.1) have been my go to retinal serum in rotation with Avene's (pricier but easier to find in a normal drugstore or chemist's). I have been using C glow with no issues whatsoever, i keep it in the fridge and last way more than the 'marketed' 3 months without sign of oxidation. I also use smooth out and their A(azelaic) - pad! The mist to be honest didn't impress me much, Jelly joker is nice but i can easily find alternatives as i don't have a lot of requirements for a cleanser (just for sunscreen)!

HELP PLEASE: Many moons ago (7 years in fact), I watched your oily skin care video where you suggested the “ Skin&Lab Dr. Pore Tightening Glacial Clay Facial Mask.” Based on your suggestion l bought it and LOVED it! The active tingling was delicious and I felt like it was really sucking everything out and felt perfectly decongested and pores were happy. However, it seems it’s no longer available/discontinued. I started using the Innesfree Volcanic clay mask there after, but while it may work, it’s just not as satisfying. Do you have any recommendations for a good replacement that will still give me that fabulous active tingling that really feels it’s tackling my pores?
