Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Disodium EDTA plays a role in making products more stable by aiding other preservatives.
It is a chelating agent, meaning it neutralizes metal ions that may be found in a product.
Disodium EDTA is a salt of edetic acid and is found to be safe in cosmetic ingredients.

So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.
You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

I really dislike the formula because it doesn't smell very good (like chemicals, but at least it's not a very strong scent), and it feels sticky on the skin even making it very hard to spread it through your skin. Not to mention te packaging which is made with a very poor plastic, and if you want to get all of the product, you'll need to disassemble it (and it's not easy, because it's sealed). Show more

This is an absolutely brilliant and cheap Retinal product. Clean Ingredient list and a great dupe of the Medik8 Crystal Retinal 10.
It helped me with:
- acne
- structure
- minor fine lines (I am 25y)
My advice is to start with AGame 5 First!! Then rotate with AGame 10 and finally only use AGame 10 (or even upgrade to AGame 20 in the same way)
In the end: Use It 5/6 times a week with Show more
Great retinal for the price. I find retinal less irritating then retinol. It can be my skin though.
