Medik8 Retinal 10 v Geek and Gorgeous Retinal 10: How does the budget serum compare?

If u spend 60 free shipping now 7.95 if u dont hit that 60 and all their products are amazing and the retinal is 14$ im thinking of buying it or the medik8 durning the BF skinstore sale its 32$ . Im alittle scared to try retinal retinol products again my skin hates it last year i tried trent it did not go well .

Shipping costs that much only in B Markets. In Europe shipping is for free for orders over 50€ just 5€ regardless the amount.

Thank you❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you Claire, this comparison video was really helpful, as I am using at present a retinal 5 and I wanted to try the 10.. When I saw in another video of yours the Geek & Gorgeous version I was puzzled and uncertain as the price was much more affordable but I was wondering about the quality comparison .. I will let you know my own experience 👍😊

We need an update with more retinal products. Great review!

l wanna try g&g but jere in my country they dont sell😢

You're so lovely. 😍

Geek and gorgeous retinal is amazing...my skin looks better than a few years ago...it is a.miracle...

To Europe it’s 5 euros delivery 💶😜

I find the medik8 quite thick and harder to spread. I have to use a lot more to do my whole face. I cant see the tube lasting long so I have ordered Geek and Gorgeous as a replacement already.

Geek and gorgeous for the win

This was very useful I use the Geek & Gorgeous Retinal 10. I've been happy. My skin is markedly better with ought irritation. I was wondering if the Medi8 would be even better. You've answered my question. I've doing very well and don't need to look elsewhere for now.

I too am switching from Medik8 to G&G but I ordered from their website and with shipping it came to over £30.
Then someone on one of the FB groups told me that they have a UK site too.
I emailed and asked if they would cancel the order and explained why.
They cancelled and refunded immediately.
I have just ordered the G&G 10 and paid £22.90, and the deliver time will be much sooner.

Are you still using the G&G A Game today? Any updates?

Btw such a high quality and great review. Feels like I'm watching an actual profesional TV show.

Hi. Would you be so kind and tell me of you used any cream after retinal?

Geek & Gorgeous A-Retinal broke me out I was using Crystal Retinal prior to that so I moved to Avene A-Oxitive Night Peeling Cream/Balm in the US known as Retrinal 0.1 and I was happy I moved to K-beauty products with Retinal since then and seeing better results

Always a pleasure watching you 😃 Have you tried Medik8 Retinoate? Its strong but really good and better then tretinoin in my case. Thanks for all your excellent videos!🙏🏻

This was really helpful Clare .. I love the G and G C glow, so I will def pick-up the retinal whilst I am on the site .. and maybe a few other products- .. at those prices you really couldn't go wrong!

For anyone watching this in the future Naturium has a new .05% retinaldahyde in a 1.7 Oz airless tube for $29!! Yes 29$ for almost 2 ounces and is literally THE BEST texture of retinal I’ve ever used in my life. It’s not as staining as geek and gorgeous and shipping is free at $30. It doesn’t have the vitamin c like medik8 nor does it have the vanilla fragrance but mannn it’s so good! I use it on my neck and chest and tretinoin on my face❤

Thank you so much for this, I’m going to get the geek and gorgeous 😊

Wow you can really see a difference on the before and after pics. Especially on the upper eyes, neck and along the jawline.

I have an issue with large looking pores. Did you find the retinal helpful for that if you have that issue?

Great video, many thanks for sharing.

The cost is 15 euros because I guess you are based in the UK. You can thanks the Brexit :) I live in Ireland and the shipping fee was 5 EUR

This was exactly the review I was looking for, thank you! I've been loving the medik8 retinal and have been thinking about trying G&G because of my budget for a while now.

Can you tell me which one is better for acne and dark spots? Medik8 retinal 10 or Geek Gorgeous?🙏🏽

Yes, skin clearing, I have gone from someone who used to hide behind my hair to getting complements in 2 years. Never going to stop using it.

First night trying the G & G. Thanks for the review!

I'm so glad to see such a professional video reviewing one of my favourite brands! I'm from hungary, and since it's a hungarian brand, it's easier to access it and I couldn't be happier. This video made my day☺️

Thank you so much! I am a university student and paying that much money for retinal was seriously troubling me. As I live in Europe, I will DEFINETLY try the other brand next!!

Thanks great advice. Off to buy and try at a more reasonable price.

My local pharmacy ordered it (the whole asortiman) by my reccomendation and its great i can get it ship cost free...

Great comparison video,all the information I was looking for!Short and to the point👍I am about to finish my first tube of Medik8 and really did not want to spend even more on the next strength level😏

Hello to you, if you live in the UK , why don't you try avène " oxitive peeling nuit' and " oxitive eyes" at 0.1% retinaldehyde , or in the us retrinal 0.1 %, it used to be called "ystéal"( in France ) 0.05% rétinal and "ystéal intensif" 0.1% rétinal...also, "triacneal expert soin emulsion" 0.1% rétinal and last " cleneance woman nuit " but I don't know whether or not it's 0.05 or 0.1 % retinal, although many say it's 0.1%. ...TBD.!! voilà !

I love Medik8 retinal but my budget doesn't. I looked at G&G and read great things about it- but I'm in the U.S.
There are two excellent retinal alternatives for us here. One is Mychelle retinal - roughly $38 and Maelove Moonglow- $36. I've used them both and love them. I'm partial to Maelove for their Glowmaker Vit C ferulic- so I normally get their retinal.
I tried lots of retinol products with little result- retinaldehyde was the retinoid that CHANGED my skin. I'm 68 so I dont expect miracles- but retinal has tightened and lifted my skin. It's reduced the appearance of pores and fine lines without irritation. It is a wonderful ingredient!

How long does that bottle last?

This was super helpful. Thank you. The G&G can stain (within the first 30 minutes or so) anything that it touches. Does the medik8 have the same issue?

Thanks. The medik8 is slow release which made me think it might be gentler for skins that struggle to tolerate. I personally have learnt to the ^G& G for lighter, fragrance free cheap reasons but haven’t been able to try as I’ve damaged my barrier

Am using retinal from Avene. So far so good

I use G&G and I’m very happy. Ok you have postal charges but lots of good products there so you’ll certainly find other produits that you will love (and eventually get free shipping) like a (real) vitamin C serum with ferulic acid and vitamin E (a little bit like the skinceuticals), a serum for sensitive skin (the stressless) …. Definitely worth a try !

Thanks so much for this review, I was wondering about the 2 companies. Medik8 was out of my comfort zone in pricing but so many people rave about it. Have you tried the Maelove product line, its around $36.00 for it's Retinal. BTW, you look so much like the actress Julia Styles or Stiles, not sure how she spell her last name.

Hello dear thank you for this informative video
i want to buy all retinal 3/6/10 and keep using the 10 .. I’m 29 is it okay to use the 10 also how long does one tube last me (3month or less ) it’s not available so I’m gonna order them online

I just found out about Geek & Geogeous... I have used retinol 0.3% before and get used to it now. I was thinking of upgrading my retinol to a higher percentage like 0.5 or 1%. Then I found out about retinal and I want to try out the retinal from Geek&geogeous... but I don't know whether I should purchase the A5 or 10? Do you have any recommendation?

Thank you for this. This was a true test. I also compare the sides of my face with products

Thanks so much for making this video!! Exactly the comparison I was looking for 😊

Geek and Gorgeus, just adore it! I use it almost one year, looking better in time! I also combine it with Avene Clearance for better results! Fantastic!!! and in logic cost! Love from Crete Greece Eva

I currently use Medik 8 and am considering using Geek & Gorgeous after watching your review. I find that the Medik 8 stains my pillowcase. Have you found a way round that? And does the Geek& Gorgeous do the same? Thanks for your videos Claire. I never miss one👍

I have very very sensitive skin I'm 50 years old not sure where to start I started with retin A that's where a lot of people say to start but I'm still very sensitive not sure what to use

Thank you new subscriber here loving your videos appreciate all of your Great information in USA 💜💜
