      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. 💗

    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.

    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.

Great product and a great company 👍

  • @ladysphenoid7685
    @ladysphenoid7685 Před rokem +1

    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.

    @domingosantiago4813 Před rokem

    Ok very interesting the Avene I order had no fragrance I committed to Avene for a good 2 yrs and amazing results l loved the results I was getting and it was pretty quick mind you I already was using retinol before and upgrade to there 0.1 with absolutely no issue but that price was just too high here in the states I noticed it doesn’t spread well so I went through the bottles quick making it very expensive I am currently back to G&G which I had tried a year ago and stopped because I favored Avene and at the time I could afford it now I have been using G&G and am committed to them the price and results are great without over paying it’s about being able to commit to the product especially for people who are into healthy aging and don’t want the Botox’s or fillers spf and vitamin A are a must and I’m pretty grateful for a product like a-game 10 I noticed G&G had been suggesting to layer it with there stress less beta glucan which I’m interested In Trying as I love oat and it’s benefits for the skin that’s gonna be my next G&G purchase

  • @cindydeas192
    @cindydeas192 Před rokem +4

    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!

What is the benefit of the retinal encapsulation?

    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.

    Help please
    I was put on Dermatica 0.015 + 4 Niacinimide + 4 azalea, used every other night . After 3 applications I was very red, gave it a few days off then went for it again and within 5 minutes turned into a sore tomatoe. Took it off. I would say that I now have sensitive skin. I want to try retinal but all yours have number 10. If I tried the geek and gorgeous which one do I start with and how to progress. Same with the Medik8 please
    I use very gentle products , ei moisture bomb or Tatcha etc
    Thanks

    I find that G&G A-game 10 is great - very gentle, actually more gentle than Retinol. I use Tret on my face but my neck cannot tolerate it - so I use the A-game on my neck and chest.
    Look forward to a MAS retinal serum - affordable but with a great formulation 😜

    The Avene one comes i two versions, one with fragrance and one without! The one without is called A-Oxitive Night Peeling Cream in Europe.
    I don't understand why a high quality brand like Medik8 would put fragrance and known allergens in their products. I would love to try the Medik8 retinal but the Avene one is my choice since it's so 'clean' when it comes to ingredients. 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

    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.
