I wonder if the Ordinary retinal is as good as the one from Geek&Gorgeous. I use it for over 1 year now and I like it very much. Supple, even skin with no irritation. And for a good price.
@@Jod3lay I have the comparison on the blog post. My husband used both, first the one from G&G and then the whole bottle of this one, and didn't notice a difference. You can't tell about long term of course, the one from The Ordinary has a higher concentration, but I doubt you will see a difference. He told me he doesn't care which one we get to replace it, so I guess it will be G&G as it is better value for money.
@@DoctorAnne well, then it's evident: I don't have to switch products! Thanks for another informative video and also thanks to the husband for the research!
I think that it is quite expensive once you factor in the size. Naturium’s retinal comes in 50 ml tube for €40. And A-game 10 is, of course, less than €20. I usually pay about €23 for No 7’s retinol 30 ml but sometimes those are even cheaper since multiple offers stack with no 7. Last time, I got 3 tubes for €30.44
@@spilioschristopoulos6975 I think the percentage makes very little difference in my decision when it is already as high as 0.1%. Doubling that seems slightly gimmicky
I like this product a lot. The only other Retinal product easily available at 0.2% in the US is is the Medikate 8 one and it is about $ 100 for 30 ml so The Ordinary is a real bargain at $ 30 for 30 ml. I use it on alternate nights with the G&G or Naturium 0.1% as my skin slowly adapts to it.
I haven't tried either, so I can't comment on them. I would love to though, as both sound interesting. Dr Sam's products have either been hit or miss for me from what I have tried so far.
As far as you can tell this would be a step up in strength. I am not sure if an intermediate step would be needed, that depends on your skins sensitivity, but I assume you could go straight to it and maybe start using it a few times a week instead of every night for the first weeks.
He was already using another Retinal for several months before trying this one, so it wasn't to be expected that there were different results. If there had been, I would have said so.
He has been using another Retinal for several months now, so it didn't have a drastic effect. It didn't cause any irritation either, or dryness or flaking. Since he started using a Retinal, his skin looks more even and his ingrown hairs have reduced, which is about what we did expect to happen.
I compare them in depth on the blog, but I guess it depends on your preferences. Geek and Gorgeous is more affordable, The Ordinary has a higher concentration, but if that makes a difference in effect I can't say.
Is this something you are interested in?

Yes but naturium is 0.5 or 1

In USD, G&G A-game 10 is $20 for 30ml and the Ordinary Retinal .2% is $15 for 15ml.
All of the Retinal products you mentioned are half as strong!

Very interesting video I enjoy your topics 🎉😊
I am glad you do.
Hi dr anne thank you for this video ❤🎉😊xx
You are welcome.
Can you use this around the eye area? Thank you!
I can't answer that. It isn't designed for the eyes, so depending on your eyes it could lead to irritation or dryness.
Interesting! What do you think of the Dr Sams vitamin C and gossamer tint spf? Would love to know your thoughts
I haven't tried either, so I can't comment on them. I would love to though, as both sound interesting. Dr Sam's products have either been hit or miss for me from what I have tried so far.
I've been using 0.1 Cerave retinol daily, would this be a more intense step? Would I need an intermediate step? Thanks :))

What is the best cream or serum to reduce wrinkles at the age of fifty or forty?
It is a combination of different things, but a Retinal is surely a good one to include.
I have my recommendation for a routine age 40 + here: ruclips.net/video/_MdX_z6_Gog/видео.html
@@DoctorAnne ❤️
How would you define an experienced retinoid user? I've used retinol for a few years so do I count? 😅
I'd say yes, you qualify.
Unrelated to the subject, but does Azelaic acid cause facial hair growth?
No, not to my knowledge.
Thank you for the review I like it but not repurchase it’s too yellow and it stains my pillow
Thank you for sharing your feedback.
You didn’t say whether your husband saw any results with the product
He was already using another Retinal for several months before trying this one, so it wasn't to be expected that there were different results. If there had been, I would have said so.
Do you have botox on your forehead?
No. I never had Botox anywhere nor any kind of filler or similar.
@@DoctorAnne awesome.
@@fj5028 Nothing wrong with getting these things done - it is all personal.
@@DoctorAnne I understand.
What effect did it have on your husband's face?
He has been using another Retinal for several months now, so it didn't have a drastic effect. It didn't cause any irritation either, or dryness or flaking. Since he started using a Retinal, his skin looks more even and his ingrown hairs have reduced, which is about what we did expect to happen.
The question now is: Which is better? The ordinary retinal or the G+G A-Game?
I compare them in depth on the blog, but I guess it depends on your preferences. Geek and Gorgeous is more affordable, The Ordinary has a higher concentration, but if that makes a difference in effect I can't say.
