Product Benefits

Product Benefits

The Celimax Vita-A Retinal Shot Tightening Ritual Set is a complete two-step evening firming routine, pairing the Vita-A Retinal Shot Tightening Booster (15ml) with the Vita-A Retinol Shot Tightening Serum (30ml). Each formula plays a distinct role: the Booster delivers a concentrated dose of 0.1% retinal with Matrixyl 3000, niacinamide, and panthenol to target firmness and texture, while the Serum follows with a lightweight 0.1% retinol formula and a 9-peptide complex to extend and round out the treatment.

Used in sequence — Booster first, then Serum — the two formulas are designed to work together as one evening ritual rather than as separate, standalone treatments. This set is well suited to anyone building a focused evening retinal routine and looking for a more complete approach than a single-step product offers, including those newer to retinal and retinol who prefer to introduce both actives gradually.

Key Benefits:

• A complete two-step evening ritual: Booster, then Serum

• Combines 0.1% retinal (Booster) with 0.1% retinol and a 9-peptide complex (Serum)

• Matrixyl 3000, niacinamide, and panthenol help support firmness and skin comfort

• Designed to help improve the appearance of fine lines, uneven texture, and enlarged-looking pores

• Lightweight, fast-absorbing textures suited to a calm evening skincare ritual

• Introduce gradually — begin 2–3 evenings per week if you are new to retinal or retinol

• Pair with a broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning while using this routine

  1. After cleansing and toning, apply a small amount of the Vita-A Retinal Shot Tightening Booster to dry skin, focusing on areas of concern.
  2. Gently spread and allow it to absorb for 1–2 minutes.
  3. Follow with 1–2 pumps of the Vita-A Retinol Shot Tightening Serum, smoothing it over the face and neck until fully absorbed.
  4. Finish with a moisturizer if needed.
  5. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning while using this routine.

If you are new to retinal or retinol, or have sensitive skin, begin with 2–3 evenings per week and increase gradually based on your skin's tolerance.

Two-Step Evening Ritual

Booster first, then Serum — a sequenced routine designed to layer retinal actives without overwhelming the skin.

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 Booster prepares the skin with a focused dose of retinal, and the Serum follows to extend and support that effect with retinol and peptides.

  • Step 2: 0.1% retinol Serum
  • 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: Booster → Step 2: Serum

Step 1 — Retinal Shot Tightening Booster: a concentrated 0.1% retinal treatment applied first, designed to deliver a focused dose of vitamin A to support firmness and texture.

Step 2 — Retinol Shot Tightening Serum: applied after the Booster has absorbed, this lightweight 0.1% retinol serum with a 9-peptide complex extends and rounds out the treatment for a complete evening ritual.

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% retinal Booster
  • Step 2: 0.1% retinol Serum + 9-peptide complex
  • Matrixyl 3000 for firmness support
  • Panthenol + niacinamide for comfort

FAQ

Why use both the Booster and the Serum together?

The Booster delivers a concentrated dose of 0.1% retinal, while the Serum follows with 0.1% retinol and a 9-peptide complex. 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 Retinal Shot Tightening Booster first to clean, dry skin. Allow it a few minutes to absorb, then follow with the Retinol Shot Tightening Serum 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 Booster alone a few evenings per week, patch test both products, and add the Serum 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 Booster alone. Once your skin adjusts, gradually introduce the Serum 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.
