Description
The Celimax The Vita-A Retinal Shot Tightening Booster is an exceptionally powerful anti-aging night booster, formulated around one of the most advanced retinoids on the market: Retinal (Retinaldehyde) — the intermediate Vitamin A molecule that is just one step before Retinoic Acid, requires less conversion than Retinol and is therefore up to 11 times more potent in effectiveness, with a better irritation profile.
The formula incorporates four central technologies: 0.1% Liposomized Retinal (encapsulated in liposomes for maximum stability and penetration), 3% Matrixyl® 3000 (Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 + Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 — patented collagen-boosting peptide duo), 1% Panthenol for hydration and soothing, and the exclusive A-Shot™ Technology (20,250 micro-particles) — micro-particles 16 times finer than pores for deeper and faster absorption.
Clinically proven: improvement in wrinkles, reduction in pores, and increase in skin density for firm, smooth results. The slight yellow tint left by Retinal on the skin immediately after application is natural and disappears with the next cleanse. For night use only — always with SPF 50+ in the morning.
TARGETS
• Wrinkles and fine lines — especially expression lines (crow's feet, forehead wrinkles, nasolabial folds)
• Enlarged pores and uneven skin texture
• Sagging, loss of firmness and elasticity
• Dullness and slow cellular renewal
• Sunspots, post-acne marks, and photoaging
• Roughness, uneven texture, and dead cell buildup
• Loss of density and "hollow" skin appearance
SUITABLE FOR
• All skin types
• Skin 25+ seeking intensive anti-aging results
• Users already using Retinol who want to upgrade to a stronger retinoid
• Users with visible pores, wrinkles, and loss of elasticity
• Skin with photoaging, spots, and dullness
• Sensitive skin wanting Retinal but fearing irritation (liposomized = gentle delivery)
• NOT indicated for: pregnancy, breastfeeding — medical consultation required
BENEFITS
• Smoothing of wrinkles & fine lines — clinically proven with Retinal 0.1% + Matrixyl 3000 3%
• Visible pore reduction — clinically proven with A-Shot™ Technology that penetrates deeper than the pore base
• Increased skin density — clinically proven for a firmer, bouncier result
• Accelerated cellular renewal — Retinal activates RAR receptors to increase cell turnover, reducing dead cells
• Collagen & elastin boost — Matrixyl 3000 (signal peptides) stimulate new collagen & elastin synthesis
• Improved texture & radiance — increased cell turnover reveals fresh, smooth cells
• Brightening & blemish reduction — Retinal + Niacinamide + Ascorbic Acid inhibit melanin
• Deeper penetration of actives with A-Shot™ (Hydrolyzed Sponge): 20,250 micro-particles 16x finer than pores
• Intensive hydration & soothing — Panthenol 1%, Glycerin, Adenosine, Sodium Lactate counteract retinization irritation
• Antioxidant protection — Tocopherol (Vit E) + Ascorbic Acid (Vit C) stabilize Retinal and protect
• Anti-aging action of Adenosine — boosts collagen/elastin, improves elasticity
KEY INGREDIENTS
• Retinal (Retinaldehyde) 0.1% — Liposomized: The most powerful OTC (over-the-counter) retinoid on the market. The Vitamin A family follows a hierarchy: Retinyl Esters → Retinol (2 steps) → Retinal (1 step) → Retinoic Acid (0 steps — the final active form). Retinal converts to Retinoic Acid in just ONE enzymatic conversion step — meaning it acts up to 11 times more effectively than Retinol. Its liposomized form stabilizes it, reduces irritation, and improves bioavailability.
• A-Shot™ Technology (20,250 micro-particles — Hydrolyzed Sponge): celimax's exclusive delivery technology. Uniformly sized micro-particles, 16 times finer than pores, directly penetrate the base of the pores and the deeper layers of the epidermis. Result: active ingredients (Retinal, Matrixyl) reach exactly where they are needed for visible results. The slight tingling sensation you feel during application indicates its function.
• Matrixyl® 3000 — 3% (Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 + Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7): The famous patented peptide duo from Sederma. Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1: type I collagen-fragment peptide — "fools" the skin into thinking it needs collagen and triggers synthesis. Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7: inhibits IL-6 (inflammatory signal), reduces collagen degradation. Together they accelerate tissue regeneration, increase density and elasticity.
• Panthenol (Vitamin B5) 1%: Counteracts irritation (retinization) from Retinal. Deeply moisturizes, heals, restores barrier. An essential buffer ingredient in any retinoid formula.
• Niacinamide: Boosts skin barrier, regulates sebum, reduces pores, inhibits melanin, anti-inflammatory.
• Adenosine: Anti-aging ingredient that boosts collagen & elastin, improves elasticity and firmness.
• Tocopherol (Vitamin E) & Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C): The classic antioxidant tandem. Vitamin C regenerates Vitamin E — together they stabilize unstable Retinal, provide an antioxidant shield and enhance brightening.
• Lecithin (Liposomes): The carrier system for Liposomized Retinal. Liposomes encapsulate Retinal, protect it from oxidation and control its gradual release into the skin for gentle and effective delivery.
• Sodium Lactate: Natural moisturizing factor (NMF) with a mild keratolytic effect — helps in the gradual removal of dead cells, works in synergy with Retinal.
If you are looking for the most potent OTC retinoid K-beauty booster with an advanced delivery system, patented peptides and clinically proven results on wrinkles, pores and firmness, the Celimax The Vita-A Retinal Shot Tightening Booster is the top choice for skin ready to upgrade its anti-aging routine.
