Celimax Vita-A Retinol Shot Tightening Serum 30ml

Celimax Vita-A Retinol Shot Tightening Serum is a 30 ml evening serum with 0.1% pure retinol and a 9-peptide complex, made to help skin look smoother and firmer and pores look less visible. It suits normal, combination and dry skin that is starting or returning to retinol. This is the original Korean product, available at Baseshop in Yerevan with delivery across Armenia.

Key ingredients

• Retinol 0.1% — pure retinol rather than a derivative, per Celimax; supports skin renewal and over time helps soften the look of fine lines and uneven texture.
• 9-peptide complex — nine peptides, including copper tripeptide-1 and palmitoyl pentapeptide-4, that support the look of firmer skin.
• Panthenol 1% — vitamin B5 that helps keep skin hydrated and comfortable while it adjusts to retinol.
• Allantoin — a soothing ingredient that helps skin feel more comfortable.
• A-Shot microparticles — 162,000 fine particles (hydrolyzed sponge) that Celimax adds to help the retinol absorb; a light tingling can be normal.

Who it suits

Normal, combination and dry skin with early signs of ageing: fine lines, loss of firmness, visible pores and rough texture. With 0.1% retinol it is a sensible first retinoid, but very sensitive skin should try it on a small area first. 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 evenly over the face, pat it in lightly, then follow with moisturizer.
3. Start 2–3 evenings a week (Celimax suggests every other night for the first two weeks), then move to nightly once your skin has adjusted. If irritation appears, use less and less often.
4. Apply sunscreen every morning as the last step of your routine.

Good to know

• Volume: 30 ml.
• Texture / finish: light, yellow-toned serum that absorbs quickly without a heavy or sticky film.
• Pairs well with: Celimax Dual Barrier Skin Wearable Cream as your moisturizer after it, and Celimax Dual Barrier Boosting Serum on the evenings you skip retinol.

Frequently asked

How often should I use Celimax Retinol Shot?
In the evening only, 2–3 times a week at first, always followed by moisturizer. After about two weeks, if your skin feels comfortable, move to every other night and then nightly, with sunscreen every morning.

Retinol or retinal: Celimax Retinol Shot or Retinal Shot?
Retinal is one conversion step closer to the form the skin uses, so it generally works faster but can be less forgiving. The Retinol Shot is the easier start, while the Retinal Shot booster suits skin already used to retinoids.
