What is the difference between Retinal and Retinol in this serum?
Retinal (retinaldehyde) is a more direct form of Vitamin A compared to retinol, meaning it requires fewer conversion steps in the skin to become active. This allows the Celimax Retinal Shot to act significantly faster and more efficiently, delivering more potent results while the encapsulated delivery system ensures it remains gentle on your skin barrier.
Is the Celimax Vita-A Retinal Shot suitable for sensitive skin?
While the encapsulated technology is designed to minimise potential discomfort, retinal is a highly active ingredient. We recommend beginning with a patch test and using the serum only a few times a week initially. If your skin is extremely sensitive or reactive, consult with a dermatologist before incorporating high-strength Vitamin A products into your routine.
Can I use this booster with other active ingredients like Vitamin C or AHAs?
To prevent over-exfoliation or sensitivity, it is best to avoid using this retinal booster at the same time as high-concentration AHAs, BHAs, or Vitamin C. Use your Vitamin C products in the morning and reserve this retinal booster for your evening routine to achieve the safest and most effective results.
How long does it take to see visible improvements in pore size?
With consistent nightly use, many users begin to notice improvements in skin texture and pore appearance within four to six weeks. Because the formula works by accelerating natural skin renewal, it is important to maintain a regular routine to allow the active ingredients to fully support structural firmness and clarity.
Does this product help with acne and breakouts?
Yes, the inclusion of 0.1% retinal and niacinamide helps to manage stubborn congestion and balance oil production. By promoting faster cellular turnover, it helps to clear pores and prevent the buildup that leads to breakouts, resulting in a smoother, more balanced complexion over time.
Should I apply moisturiser after using the Retinal Shot?
Absolutely. Even though this booster contains panthenol to soothe the skin, it is essential to follow up with a nourishing moisturiser to lock in hydration and support the skin barrier. A good moisturiser helps mitigate any temporary dryness that can occur as your skin adapts to the increased rate of renewal.
Why is sun protection essential when using this product?
Retinoids increase the skin's natural turnover rate, which temporarily exposes fresher, more sensitive skin layers. Using a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day is critical to protect these layers from UV damage, prevent irritation, and ensure the long-term efficacy of your anti-ageing routine.

Why You Will Love Celimax The Vita-A Retinal Shot Tightening Booster
The Celimax The Vita-A Retinal Shot Tightening Booster is a Korean precision serum that targets enlarged pores and loss of elasticity with advanced Vitamin A technology. This potent booster is suitable for those experiencing early signs of ageing, uneven texture, or stubborn congestion who need faster results than traditional retinol can provide. By choosing this formula, you benefit from 0.1% encapsulated retinal, which works efficiently to accelerate skin renewal while remaining gentle enough for nightly use. The addition of Matrixyl 3000 and Niacinamide ensures your complexion appears tighter and more radiant, providing a professional-grade solution for a smoother, airbrushed finish without the typical dryness of high-strength retinoids.

How to Use:
Apply a pea-sized amount to clean, dry skin during your evening routine, avoiding the eye and lip areas. Use this booster two to three times a week initially, gradually increasing frequency as your skin builds tolerance. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen the following morning.
