I love this brand so much, I could start a fan-club. My sister started using it as well and she is loving it too. They have yet to make a bad product and so affordable prices! And delivery is ridiculously fast, from Hungary to Estonia - with 2 days!

[@claudiadorner9804]

I love Geek and Gorgeous..tried everything from their skincare line. In October they will launch a mousturizer and later this year a sunscreen. I can't wait to try them 🥰

[@Battapuu]

Hey, I tried to look for a confirmation on the sunscreen, couldn't find it. If it's not too much trouble, where did hear about the spf? I'm so hyped if it's going to be real.

[@claudiadorner9804]

@@Battapuu I've read it on IG. A reply from G&G to someone who asked about making a sunscreen.

I have the C glow, and Jelly Joker, and LOVE them!

[@momdocindc]

G&G accounts for about a third of my routine. Love the products, $ and company. Agree with you about the must haves/ passes and ways to get free and fast shipping.

[@NasreenBianca]

Thank you for this! I’ve been waiting for a complete brand review from you! 🤗

[@Firkant2]

Im confused about why people feel G&Gs shipping is expensive within EU. Their products are priced well below marketprice, are freshly produced and the shipping is incredibly fast so the free shipping treshold of 50€ seems pretty standard to me, especially for a smallish Company. And Im generally frugal. US buyers keep In mind they are shipping overseas and despite that, I hear the shipping is incredibly fast. Outside of US and EU Im sure Its a drag and maybe not costeffective to buy from their website at this point. :( Hopefully In time it will be.

[@NOBSBeauty]

I couldn't agree more with you, especially how fast their shipping is, my products always show up within a couple days of ordering!

[@paulayarbrough6930]

I've been wanting to try G&G for a while now but I've never order anything out of the US. I live in Northern California and I'm curious about the shipping cost. I don't know how all that works or cost. Thank you for any help 🙏

[@WhatwouldJanedo]

Yes they are bringing out a moisturiser. I messaged them asking and I got told, what this space! 👏🏻

[@jacobthejuuler]

Really love G&Gs products! Gone through two of their Retinals and have never had a crazy reaction. Always order two/three of each product to reach the free shipping.

[@KingKikikoi]

Does your skin peel of after?

[@jasminateodorovic1248]

The best retinol and vitamin C I've ever used ♥️

[@rika5457-z2e]

I have tried so many things from the brand and loved everything.I keep recommending the brand to everyone.I am using their Azelaic acid at the moment 🙌

[@lorainemcgillivray77]

Hi Sarah this is a brand you introduced me to a long time ago now (when you first started to use the Apad lol) and it has been in my routine since. My most ordered/used product from them is their Agame and I have both strengths in use (I decide what my face can handle between the two and use the five on my neck - regardless of which I use on the face). I liked the Apad and used it for ages, but moved onto prescription 15% azelaic acid a while ago. I also like the calm down exfoliant, but it's a bit more expensive than the PC calm 1% BHA to use regularly - the more gel texture of the PC spreads further and I use less per application. The toner is fine, but I prefer the K beauty toners I use mostly. My skin doesn't get on with vitamin c, I prefer a milk cleanser over a gel/jelly cleanser and I don't need niacinamide or HA as separate serums. i've yet to try the calm serum, but will add it to my next Agame order. Here in the UK the shipping is fast and not too expensive, so it's fairly easy for me to access. I have no plans to stop using the Agame and it is an essential in my arsenal, however my rosacea can flare at any time so I tend to have to take a break from it when that happens. Best wishes. ps the rosacea is actually pretty calm right now thankfully and I'm back using the Agame again regularly. I will probably need to place an order next month, so I'll order the calming serum at that time. x

[@mimimoon6082]

Thanks for reviewing Sarah! G&G has great products at an affordable price. Have a great day and week ahead! ❤️😘

[@a.r.8987]

Currently enjoying several of their products. A game, exfoliants, cleanser, vitamin C all good. My skin looks smooth and dewy since using their line. I think this will always be part of my skincare.

[@evagoncalves3991]

I love G&G, I'm using the vitamin C and the 1% rerinol for a cople of years now, love them, they work so well and are so afordable, like you, I'm waiting for a SPF from them.

[@samanthak6774]

Love this brand!! Hoping for a moisturizer and sunscreen from them one day!

[@ronnieh2360]

Great video as always. LOVE this brand 😍 Jelly Joker, both A-Games & C-Glow are my favs - quality products & very reasonably priced.

[@ayimera]

I love Cheer Up! I'm on my second bottle. I also love their Vitamin C, it lasted 6 months in the fridge and barely oxidized, which was awesome. I did have a reaction to aPAD, not sure if my skin just doesn't like that type of azelaic acid or what (but I don't blame G&G). *I really want to try their retinal serum since I have such a strong/bad reaction to tret.

[@martinalast8317]

I heard they are planning moisturizer called smth like happier barrier, just a rumour ;)

[@NOBSBeauty]

Oooh I'm all for it!!! Cannot wait for it to come out!

[@Marmarinaram]

Geek & Gorgeous used to be my favourite. I still use their Vit. C, it´s unbeatable, and their Niacinamide. But you need to try Theramid and Transparent Lab from Niche Beauty Lab. This skincare made me addicted. Especially the Theramid line.

[@olinayoung6287]

GG had so many great products (which I haven’t tried lol!), but I’d love to narrow down my shopping list with them. Thanks for helping 💕🌸💕🌸

[@ingabarnes3845]

i love this brand too! Thank you for your amazing reviews! for I and also 3 of my friends "Stress less" is the best serum this year! we all have sensitive skin and not only it hydrates like nothing else around(and i tried loads including some very expensive serums), but also works for any irritation (usually from various skincare)and sunburn!I love hyaluronic serum and A-game too.i am not impressed with their face cream...

[@MariyaMagija]

I’d love a 4-5% version of the B-Bomb. I use niacinamide for medicinal purposes in my skincare, and I need a specific percentage. Otherwise, I want to try the Stress Less for my sensitive skin.

[@vanessamalik1102]

[@thesandrabilling]

I'm really loving the cleanser! Gotta be careful with how much you apply though since I've noticed the more of it you apply the more difficult it'll be to rinse off 😄 also, are you sure the toner is fragrance free because mine has a slight scent?! 🤔

[@epdesvaux]

You thinking a rosewater scent?But its just the way the raw ingredients smell.

[@sfkat]

I saw that the Azelaic serum is 20% now....wasn't it lower when aPAD was first out?

[@kristinjohansson9031]

It is 20 % of the derivative, not 20 % pure Azelaic acid. It should compare to around 6 % pure Azelaic acid. Don’t think they have changed it since launch.

[@ninjaturtles12121]

isn't their azelaic acid serum 20%? do you still think the azclear is stronger despite both being 20%??

[@kristinjohansson9031]

20 % of a derivative not 20 % pure Azelaic acid. Should compare to around 6 % pure Azelaic acid.

G&G is the perfect example of not all skincare works for everyone. I have tried their retinal serum + the vit C serum - wasn't great. And the stress less literally burnt my skin. So wanted to love the brand but just didn't work.

How much is shipping cost for the US ?

It is free if you spend over $60 Euros (or about $55) otherwise it is: Free on orders above 60 EUR* 9 EUR between 30 and 60 EUR* 18 EUR under 30 EUR*

[@cunty]

their shipping is so expensive for smaller orders.. wish they could get it down to a flat rate of $5 - $7.50. the only products from this brand i could imagine myself purchasing are the apad and c-glow, but with those two in cart the shipping is nearly the price of both products combined.

[@bluecurlygirl]

I've wanted to try them for a long time but their postage to europe is absolutely outrageous. When your postage costs more than the items in the cart there's an issue.

[@thesandrabilling]

It's a Europe based brand, from Hungary I believe. Are you not able to order from places other than their website?

[@dominiksagan9622]

It is the same when u order something from the US. No free shipping at all and the shipping fee is around 20-30$.

On their website they say otherwise. Ethical Elephant also says that they are cruelty-free.

In Europe, tests on animals are forbidden since 2014.

@@alisiachiara Any company can make the claim. My two trusted sites are Leaping Bunny and Cruelty Free Kitty. Cruelty Free Kitty sends out their own questionnaire which has very specific questions including any parent company animal testing. And no product being sold in countries that require testing animal testing is included on their list.

[@alisiachiara]

@@4tun8nanette Geek&Gorgeous is a rather small Indie Brand from Hungary. I doubt that they even would have the money to do extra animal testing in order to sell in countries like China who require them. Can you show me the links where it says that they are not cruelty free?
