Rob, I wish you had included the ones by Maelove and ELF. I recently got the G&G one but, even though it was initially affordable, the cost of shipping doubled the price. Some positives are that I received it from Budapest only three days after I ordered it (I'm in the U.S.), and so far I'm really loving the product! But it would be nice to have a great product that I don't have to buy from the other side of the world, and these two that I mentioned above look promising. Thanks for all the great information you share with us. 💗

Great review buddy! Have you tried Avene hyaluron active b3 multi intensive night cream? . It's formular is 1% retinal, 2% niacinamide and hyaluronic acid.

@TheMrmi22 Жыл бұрын

Just a small correction. US Avene retrinal is the equivalent to Avene's A Oxitive night serum, not Avene's Physiolift. Two different serums and although both have retinal, the A Oxytive one is Retrinal's equivalent. Canada Avene shows this on their website and several European Avene sites confirmed this as well.

I've been using Avene for years (no scent in the US!) and I still really like it. However, in the last six months I've discovered Medik8 which I absolutely love and have recently graduated from 10 to 20 with no issues. I really like the formula, it is not drying and the scent does not annoy me. Right now I tolerate the price. I really like this comparison format a lot. I'd like to see more of it.

Loving Medik8 Retinal 10 and just now bumping up to 20! Love the consistency, the smooth application and the fragrance is subtle. Also using Avene retinal eye cream. It is very nice too, don't notice the fragrance around my eyes 😂. I alternate these products with my RX tretinoin .05 and 1.0 so it would be really hard to distinguish which product is truly working for me but, tretinoin would probably be #1. That said, I love the Medik8 so much that I prefer it over everything else. I bought it on sale each time I purchased it so was able to get a break on the higher price point! Thank you for your comparison review!

I’ve been using the Avene Retrinal and in the States there is no scent. I like it a lot. I had used Rx tretinoin off and on for years and frankly hated it because I just couldn’t use it consistently enough w/o having to adjust all my other products for the seasons or what not. Finally I had enough and went to otc retinal and not looking back. Avene has been great. I can use it with zero issues every night. Intrigued my Medik8 but not sure about the price. Avene has lasted me awhile but may try Medik8 when I’m out of it.

Avene offers different product "names" in Canada and the US. I'm not sure if in the UK there are again differences. Physiolift in Canada anyway (not sure about the UK) only has 0.05% Retinal. This is what customer service told me: A-Oxitive Peeling Night Cream: 0.1% Physiolift Night Balm: 0.05% Physiolift Eye Cream: 0.015% I would like to add that I use the A-Oxitive Night, and it has no detectable fragrance... and I don't believe fragrance is part of the ingredient list. Physiolift DOES have a fragrance. I tried that but don't like fragrance, plus in Canada... it is a weaker formula.

Never had any reaction even though I am very reactive and prone to allergies.

I apply the G&G A-Game 0.1 all over my face, including on my eyelids and lips and I get absolutely no irritation from it. I've used it for about a month now. This actually worries me a little bit because it makes me wonder how "active" the active ingredient (retinal) really is. I realize lack of irritation doesn't necessarily equal lack of efficacy but I can't help being a little bit concerned, given that irritation is supposed to be a very common side effect of retinoids in general. Curious if anyone else here has had the same experience (i.e. no irritation)?

The question would be did you previously use a retinol product if you transitioned from Retinol to Retinal it can be much easier for the skin to acclimate without issue because of the one step conversion vs the 2 step conversion retinols go through also the other items In Your regimen can play a factor in avoiding issues some users experience

@@domingosantiago4813 I have used other retinal serums before this one so that could be why, I guess. It just seems weird to me that I can rub the a-game serum directly on my lips and eyelids without even a hint of irritation or dryness. 🤨

I always have good skin tone and texture the following day after using G&G A-Game 10. Of course, it's subjective but I notice those subtleties as I rotate different skincare products. Having said that I will be using the Medik8 in the next few months for comparison.

Can you immediately use this if you're skin is not used to these kind of products? Or is it better to first use it once a week and go up from there? Which step in skin care routine is this? I use sunscreen and moisturizer and want to use agririline from the ordinary but in what order?

Haha I use G&G A10 with MAS moisturizer and I love it! Been experimenting with G&G A5 and my neck and eye area tolerates it very well 👍 Under those I use MAS Serum and I think it's why the most delicate areas are not irritated. I used to use the Avene one but switched it because of the animal testing. I don't see much difference in the results.

Sorry for the question but what is it that makes Crystal Retinal 20 the closest thing to Tretinoin? 😊

@annikaknoche6362 Жыл бұрын

@@thesandrabilling Well, the Crystal 20 contains 0,2% retinaldehyde which seems to be the highest over the counter retinoid available at the moment. And as I live in a country where tretinoin is not available at all ( not even on prescription), the Crystal 20 is as close as I can get to tret.

As I’m about to finish Crystal 6, I wish I had taken a photo of my upper chest At 60, there’s a little wedge of sun damaged skin. The months of treating have made a real improvement. No irritation on my sensitive skin & eyes. I thought The Avene Nighttime eye serum did leave my eyes irritated

The Avene RetinAL is a completely different formulation to the Physiolift in Europe. There is no fragrance in the RetinAL and contains antioxidants, which is why it's around $70. I bought one from the US, and it's far superior to the version sold here in the UK and lasts a long time as you only need a small amount. I use it with cetephil rich night cream, which is just £10 containing niacinamide and panthenol and vitamin E.

@@MadAboutSkin Oh ok, thank you so much, I am in a few tretinoin facebook groups and the tretinoin die hards seem to religiously believe tretinoin is the holy grail and is the only version that will give the optimal results, which can be very misleading and confusing because not everybody react the same way, I feel going gentle and slow is the best approach because I've read more horror stories from tretinoin than from retinaldehyde, if they all will eventually give the same results long term then no need to rush.
