Celimax Retinal Shot Tightening Booster 15ml

Celimax Retinal Shot Tightening Booster is a 15 ml evening booster with 0.1% retinal, a faster-acting relative of retinol, plus peptides, made to help skin look smoother and firmer and pores look less visible. It suits skin that already tolerates retinol well. This is the original Korean product, available at Baseshop in Yerevan with delivery across Armenia.

Key ingredients

• Retinal 0.1% — retinaldehyde, a form of vitamin A one step closer than retinol to the form the skin uses; helps soften the look of fine lines and uneven texture.
• Peptides, 3% Matrixyl — palmitoyl tripeptide-1 and palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, which support the look of firmer, more elastic skin.
• Niacinamide — supports a more even-looking tone and a stronger-feeling skin barrier.
• Panthenol — vitamin B5 that helps keep skin hydrated and comfortable while it adjusts to retinal.
• A-Shot microparticles — fine particles (hydrolyzed sponge) that Celimax adds to help the retinal absorb; a slight tingling can be normal.

Who it suits

Normal and combination skin that already uses retinol without irritation and is ready for a stronger step for fine lines, loss of firmness and visible pores. It is not a first retinoid for sensitive or reactive skin. Do not use during pregnancy or breastfeeding without a doctor’s advice.

How to use

1. Use in the evening only, after cleansing and toner, on dry skin.
2. Apply a small amount to the areas you want to target, or a thin layer over the face, then follow with moisturizer.
3. Start 2–3 evenings a week (Celimax suggests every other night for the first two weeks) and go nightly only once your skin has adjusted; use it less often if irritation appears.
4. Apply sunscreen every morning as the last step of your routine.

Frequently asked

What is Celimax Retinal Shot for?
It is an evening retinoid booster for the look of fine lines, loss of firmness, rough texture and enlarged pores. Celimax combines 0.1% retinal with peptides, niacinamide and panthenol to help skin look smoother and firmer over time.

Retinol or retinal: which should I choose?
Retinal (retinaldehyde) is one conversion step closer to the form the skin uses, so it generally works faster than retinol but can be less forgiving. If you are new to retinoids, start with the Celimax Retinol Shot serum and move to the Retinal Shot once your skin is comfortable.

Can I use it with vitamin C, acids or the Retinol Shot?
Keep vitamin C for the morning, and use exfoliating acids, acid pads or spicule serums on different evenings. Celimax recommends pairing the booster with its Retinol Shot serum; layer them only once your skin tolerates each one well.
