Celimax The Vita-A Retinal Shot Tightening Booster: the retinal anti-aging booster
Want to try retinoids without breaking the bank or giving up after a week of irritation? The Celimax The Vita-A Retinal Shot Tightening Booster is one of the most popular ways to get started. We'll explain how to use it properly.
What is the Celimax Retinal Shot used for?
It is an anti-aging booster based on retinal, an active form of vitamin A. Retinal is closer than classic retinol to the form the skin actually uses, so it works faster at the same concentration. It stimulates cell renewal, helps smooth wrinkles and fine lines, refines skin texture, and tightens the appearance of pores.
Celimax combines it with peptides (Matrixyl® 3000), soothing panthenol, and its A-Shot™ technology, micro-particles designed to help the active ingredients penetrate. The skin looks smoother, denser, and firmer.
Key active ingredients
- Retinal (active vitamin A): smooths wrinkles, tightens pores, refines skin texture.
- Matrixyl® 3000: peptides that support firmness.
- Panthenol: soothes and limits discomfort.
Who is it for?
It is designed for skin that shows:
- wrinkles and fine lines;
- loss of firmness or sagging;
- visible pores;
- a tired complexion and uneven skin texture.
Retinoids are not recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding: ask a healthcare professional for advice.
When to use it?
In the evening only. Start with 2 evenings a week for two weeks, then move to every other evening, and only then to every evening if your skin tolerates it. SPF in the morning is a must, every day, even when it's cloudy.
How to use it?
- Cleanse your skin and let it dry completely.
- Apply your toner.
- Apply 2 drops of the booster and spread over the face, avoiding the eyes, the sides of the nose, and the mouth.
- Finish with a repairing cream.
Clow's tip: if your skin is sensitive, use the "sandwich" method: a thin layer of cream, the retinal, then cream again. The effect is slightly reduced, but your skin will tolerate it much better.
What to pair it with?
It is part of our Anti-Aging Pack, with the Madeca Cream Time Reverse and the Vegan Collagen Eye Serum. The Celimax Dual Barrier Creamy Toner is its ideal companion to protect the skin barrier. Avoid using it on the same evening as an exfoliant or a Reedle Shot.
Frequently asked questions
Retinal or retinol: which one to choose?
Retinal works faster than retinol. If you have never used a retinoid, it is suitable provided you introduce it gradually.
My skin is peeling, is that normal?
Slight peeling may appear during the first few weeks. Space out applications and boost hydration. If it burns, stop.
When do you see results?
Skin texture improves in 3 to 4 weeks; for wrinkles, allow 2 to 3 months of regular use.
