celimax The Vita-A Retinal Shot Tightening Booster 15ml × 2EA

1. Product Overview

A targeted retinal treatment designed to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin texture and enlarged pores.

Formulated with 0.1% retinal, niacinamide, panthenol and peptides, this concentrated booster combines vitamin A-based skin renewal with hydrating and skin-conditioning ingredients.

Featuring celimax’s A-Shot™ technology, the formula is designed to support ingredient delivery while helping skin appear smoother, firmer and more refined over time.

Pack Size: 2 × 15ml (30ml total).

2. Why We Chose It

We selected this booster for its combination of 0.1% retinal and complementary skin-conditioning ingredients.

Retinal, also known as retinaldehyde, is a vitamin A derivative that supports skin cell turnover and helps improve visible signs of photoageing.

Niacinamide, panthenol and peptides provide additional support for skin texture, hydration and comfort.

A targeted option for experienced skincare users seeking to address fine lines, uneven texture and the appearance of enlarged pores.

4. Who It’s For

Ideal for experienced retinoid users concerned with fine lines, wrinkles, uneven texture, visible pores and loss of firmness.

May also suit normal, combination and oily skin seeking targeted texture-refining care.

Those new to retinoids should introduce it cautiously, as 0.1% retinal is a relatively concentrated formula.

Sensitive, irritated or barrier-compromised skin may not tolerate this product well.

Not recommended during pregnancy or when trying to conceive. Seek medical advice regarding retinoid use while breastfeeding.

5. How to Use

Evening use only.

After cleansing and allowing skin to dry, apply a small amount to the targeted areas, avoiding the eyes, eyelids, lips and corners of the nose.

Follow with a gentle moisturiser.

For new users: Begin with one or two evenings per week rather than immediately applying every other night. Increase gradually only if your skin remains comfortable.

For experienced users: Frequency may be increased according to skin tolerance and the manufacturer’s directions.

If dryness, peeling or irritation occurs, reduce frequency or discontinue use until the skin has recovered.

Apply broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher every morning and reapply as appropriate.

Avoid combining with other retinoids or strong exfoliating treatments in the same routine unless directed by a qualified professional.

Do not apply to broken or visibly irritated skin.

6. Ritual Position

PM: Cleanse → Tone (Optional) → RETINAL BOOSTER → Moisturise

Apply as a targeted nighttime treatment before moisturiser.

For sensitive skin, applying moisturiser before and after the booster may help improve tolerance, although it may also alter product delivery.

7. Glass Ritual Pairing

Pair with a gentle cleanser and a barrier-supporting moisturiser.

ILLIYOON Ceramide Ato Concentrate Cream is a practical moisturising companion for skin that experiences dryness during retinoid use.

During the day, use broad-spectrum sunscreen consistently.

The supplier suggests pairing this booster with Retinol Shot Serum. However, layering two vitamin A treatments can increase irritation, so this combination is not recommended as a routine default without professional guidance.
