Celimax The Vita-A Retinal Shot Tightening Booster (15ml)

Overview

A high-strength anti-aging booster built around 0.1% Retinal (a more advanced, faster-converting form of Vitamin A than standard retinol), paired with 3% MATRIXYL® 3000, a well-known peptide duo that supports collagen production. The Retinal is nano-sized and stabilised with liposome technology to improve absorption while helping to manage irritation, and the brand’s A-Shot™ micro-particles are designed to penetrate directly into the appearance of pores.

Just a drop or two is meant to go a long way, targeting fine lines, uneven texture, and enlarged pores in one concentrated step. Panthenol rounds out the formula with hydration to help balance the potency of the actives, leaving a bouncy, nourished finish rather than a dry or tight feeling after application.

Suitable Skin Types

Normal · Dry · Oily · Combination — aimed at early-to-visible signs of aging, uneven texture, and enlarged pores. Best suited to those already comfortable with retinoids, or new users willing to start slowly and patch test first.

Key Features & Benefits

• 1% Retinal converts to retinoic acid faster than standard retinol, supporting visibly smoother texture and reduced fine lines.
• 3% MATRIXYL® 3000 (Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7) is a well-studied peptide complex that supports the look of firmer, more elastic skin.
• A-Shot™ micro-particle technology, described as up to 16 times finer than pores, is designed to help actives penetrate and visibly refine enlarged pores.
• Liposome-stabilised, nano-sized Retinal aims to improve tolerability compared to non-encapsulated forms.
• Panthenol provides hydration to help offset dryness typically associated with retinoid use.
• Highly concentrated formula meant to be used sparingly, with just a small amount covering targeted areas.
• Reported by users to leave skin feeling smoother and firmer with consistent nightly use.

How to Use

1. Use in the evening only, after cleansing and toning, on completely dry skin.
2. Apply a small amount to targeted areas of concern, such as fine lines or enlarged pores.
3. If new to retinoids, apply every other night for the first two weeks before increasing frequency.
4. Pat in gently rather than rubbing, to help even absorption.

If irritation occurs, reduce frequency and amount, and follow with a soothing moisturiser. Always follow with a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher the next morning. Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and best not layered with additional retinoids, Vitamin C, AHAs, or BHAs in the same routine.
