Product Benefits
The Celimax Vita-A Retinal Shot Tightening Ritual Set pairs the Retinol Shot Tightening Serum (30ml) with the Retinal Shot Tightening Booster (15ml) in one focused evening routine. The Serum is step one, combining 0.1% retinol with a 9-peptide complex. The Booster follows as step two, delivering 0.1% retinal with Matrixyl 3000, niacinamide, and panthenol.
If you are new to these formulas, begin with the Retinol Shot Tightening Serum alone for the first two weeks to let your skin adapt. Then introduce the Retinal Shot Tightening Booster gradually, adjusting the amount and frequency to your skin's tolerance.
Key Benefits:
• A complete two-step evening ritual: Serum first, Booster second
• Combines 0.1% retinol and a 9-peptide complex with 0.1% retinal and Matrixyl 3000
• Helps improve the appearance of fine lines, uneven texture, and enlarged-looking pores
• Niacinamide and panthenol help support skin comfort
• Can be introduced gradually for better tolerance
• Pair with broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning while using this routine
How to Use
Full Ingredients
Read Before Purchase
Booster + Serum System
Two complementary formulas built to work together, not separately, for a more complete firming effect.
Designed to Work Together
Shared A-Shot™ delivery technology and peptide support connect both steps into one consistent ritual.
Firmness • Texture • Elasticity
A combined evening system formulated to support all three at once.
A COMPLETE EVENING SYSTEM
What Makes This Ritual Different
Most retinal routines ask you to choose one product. This ritual set pairs two: a concentrated Booster and a lightweight Serum, each formulated to play a distinct role in the same evening routine.
Rather than a single-step treatment, the Duo is designed as a system — the Serum begins the routine with 0.1% retinol and a 9-peptide complex, and the Retinal Booster follows with 0.1% retinal, Matrixyl 3000, niacinamide, and panthenol.
- Step 1: 0.1% retinol Serum
- Step 2: 0.1% retinal Booster
- Matrixyl 3000 + 9-peptide complex
- One sequenced evening ritual
SHARED A-SHOT™ DELIVERY TECHNOLOGY
One Technology, Two Steps
Both the Booster and the Serum are built on Celimax's signature A-Shot™ micro-particle technology, using fine micro-spicules and hydrolyzed sponge-derived particles to support a distinctive, targeted application. Apply gently and avoid rubbing aggressively — a mild tingling sensation is a normal part of the A-Shot™ experience with either step.
- Shared across both formulas
- Supports targeted, layered delivery
- Consistent A-Shot™ experience, step to step
- A mild tingling sensation is normal at either step
RETINAL + SERUM SYNERGY
Step 1: Serum → Step 2: Booster
Step 1 — Retinol Shot Tightening Serum: a lightweight 0.1% retinol serum with a 9-peptide complex, applied first after cleansing and toning to begin the evening ritual.
Step 2 — Retinal Shot Tightening Booster: applied after the Serum has absorbed, this concentrated 0.1% retinal treatment with Matrixyl 3000 completes the routine and supports firmer, smoother-looking skin.
Used together, the two steps are designed to support smoother-looking texture, elasticity, and a more refined complexion — more than either product delivers used alone.
- Step 1: 0.1% retinol Serum + 9-peptide complex
- Step 2: 0.1% retinal Booster
- Matrixyl 3000 for firmness support
- Panthenol + niacinamide for comfort
Visible Results From the Complete Ritual
Firmer-Looking Skin
The combined Booster + Serum routine is designed to support firmer-looking skin more consistently than a single-step treatment.
Smoother Texture
Sequenced retinal and retinol actives help refine uneven texture across the whole evening ritual.
Refined-Looking Pores
Continued use of both steps helps support the appearance of enlarged-looking pores over time.
Elasticity Support
Matrixyl 3000, peptides, and panthenol work across both steps to support a smoother, more resilient-looking complexion.
FAQ
Why use both the Booster and the Serum together?
The Serum delivers 0.1% retinol with a 9-peptide complex first, while the Booster follows with a concentrated 0.1% retinal treatment. Used as a two-step ritual, they are designed to support firmness, texture, and elasticity more completely than either product used alone.
Which product should I apply first?
Apply the Retinol Shot Tightening Serum first to clean, dry skin. Allow it a few minutes to absorb, then follow with the Retinal Shot Tightening Booster as the second step of your evening routine.
Can I use the Booster and Serum separately instead of together?
Yes. While the set is designed as a complete two-step ritual, each product can also be used on its own. Many people choose to start with one product before introducing the second step once their skin has adjusted.
Is this routine suitable for sensitive skin?
Both formulas contain soothing, skin-conditioning ingredients, but because they include retinal and retinol, sensitive skin types should introduce them gradually. Begin with the Serum alone a few evenings per week, patch test both products, and add the Booster once your skin is comfortable.
How often should I use the full two-step ritual?
If you are new to retinal and retinol, begin with one or two evenings per week using the Serum alone. Once your skin adjusts, gradually introduce the Booster as a second step, working up to a frequency that feels comfortable for your skin.
Do I need a moisturizer after this routine?
Yes. Following the Serum with a gentle, barrier-supporting moisturizer can help maintain comfort, especially while your skin is adjusting to retinal and retinol.
Do I need to wear sunscreen while using this ritual?
Yes. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning while using either or both products, as retinal and retinol can increase the skin's sensitivity to sunlight.
When can I expect to see results from the full ritual?
Results vary by individual. With consistent use of both steps, many people notice smoother-looking texture and a more refined, firmer-looking complexion over several weeks of evening use.
