- Panthenol + Adenosine for a comfortable, settled skin feel
- Cream-serum texture designed to buffer retinal's potency for more comfortable use
Why You’ll Love It
Retinal is the vitamin A form that converts to retinoic acid faster than retinol — meaning it's considered more potent for the same concentration. Celimax has built their Vita-A Retinal Shot Tightening Booster around 0.1% Retinal, paired with their A-Shot™ delivery technology, designed to enhance absorption and help retinal penetrate more effectively into the skin for a smoother, firmer-looking complexion with visibly refined-looking pores over time.
The supporting cast is strong: Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 (a 3% Matrixyl 3000 complex) for a firmer-looking complexion, Niacinamide for evenness and tone, Ascorbic Acid, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), and Panthenol for antioxidant support and comfort. Hydrolyzed Sponge and Adenosine round out the formula. A retinoid product for those ready to level up from retinol. As with most retinoids, a slight tingling sensation is normal during use — if you have sensitive skin, patch test first, and don't forget sunscreen during the day.
How to Use
If you're new to retinal, start by applying every other night for the first two weeks, then move to nightly use once your skin has adjusted. Apply a small amount evenly over the face, focusing on targeted areas as needed. If irritation occurs, reduce the amount and frequency, and follow with a moisturiser containing soothing ingredients. Always apply SPF the following morning. ⚠️ Contains Retinal (a form of Vitamin A) — patch test recommended for first-time use or sensitive skin. Mild tingling is normal; if persistent irritation occurs, reduce frequency. Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
EE-MO Testing Notes
There's a noticeable tingle on application — nothing alarming, just enough to know it's working. The texture is a cream-serum hybrid, not a thin liquid, and it settles in comfortably without any greasy after-feel. Patch test first if you're new to retinoids, and don't skip SPF the next morning.
