- Carrot Root Extract, Vitamin E and Allantoin to help soothe skin during retinol adjustment
- Lightweight, fast-absorbing texture
Why You’ll Love It
A tightening serum built around 0.1% pure Retinol and a 9-peptide complex, designed to support the look of firmer, smoother skin. Carrot root extract, Vitamin E and Allantoin are included to help soothe skin as it adjusts to retinol.
This is Celimax's Retinol version — the more widely used vitamin A derivative — compared to their Retinal Shot Tightening Booster (0.1% Retinal, 15ml). Since both are retinoids, we wouldn't recommend using them on the same night; this one's a good entry point, with room to graduate to the Retinal version later.
How to Use
Use in the evening only. After cleansing, apply a small amount to dry skin, avoiding the eye area. Introduce gradually (2-3 times per week) to build tolerance, and always follow with a broad-spectrum SPF the next morning. Retinol may cause mild tingling, dryness or flaking as skin adjusts — patch test on a small area first and discontinue if irritation persists.
EE-MO Testing Notes
Texture is lightweight and sinks in fast without pilling. Our team noticed a mild tingling on first use, which eased within the first week. No noticeable scent, and it layered well under moisturiser.
