Celimax Vita A Retinal Shot Tightening Booster
Key Features
Product Details
The Celimax Vita-A Retinal Shot Tightening Booster is a night-time booster from the Korean brand Celimax. It is built around 0.1% retinal, a form of vitamin A that sits one step closer to retinoic acid than retinol, which makes it a popular choice for people who want visible results from a vitamin A product.
Alongside the liposome-stabilized retinal, the formula includes 3% Matrixyl 3000, a peptide complex that the brand says supports the look of elasticity, plus niacinamide for a more even-looking tone. It comes in a 15 ml bottle and is sometimes listed online as “retinol”, even though the formula uses retinal.
Use it in your evening routine after cleansing and toning, starting a few nights a week so your skin can adjust, then follow with moisturizer. Retinal can increase sensitivity to the sun, so wear sunscreen every morning, and avoid it if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
