Description

A little tube with a lot of anti-ageing power. The Celimax Vita-A Retinal Shot Tightening Booster is a concentrated, high-performance retinal treatment designed to firm sagging skin, refine enlarged pores and smooth the look of deep wrinkles. It pairs 0.1% nano-sized liposomal retinal — the faster-acting form of vitamin A — with 3% Matrixyl® 3000 peptides and 1% panthenol to support collagen, elasticity and moisture, for a plumper, bouncier, visibly lifted complexion. Powered by Celimax's A-Shot™ microparticle technology, it delivers actives deep into the skin with a signature tingle that tells you it's working.

Retinal that works faster: Retinal (retinaldehyde) converts to active vitamin A in fewer steps than retinol, so it delivers visible firming and smoothing results faster. Encapsulated in liposomes at 0.1%, it penetrates efficiently without the harshness retinoids are known for.

A-Shot™ deep delivery: 20,250 A-Shot™ microparticles — ultra-fine and roughly 5x smaller than a pore — stimulate the skin and drive retinal and peptides deeper for enhanced absorption. That signature tingle is the formula working.

Matrixyl® 3000 peptide power: 3% Matrixyl 3000 (palmitoyl tripeptide-1 + palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7) supports collagen and elastin to firm, plump and smooth fine lines and enlarged pores.

Comfortable, hydrating, fast-absorbing: 1% panthenol (vitamin B5) keeps skin hydrated and comfortable, balancing the retinal, while the lightweight, non-greasy texture absorbs quickly and layers well.

Ingredients

Water, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Cetearyl Alcohol, Niacinamide, Diisostearyl Malate, 1,2-Hexanediol, Polypropylsilsesquioxane, Panthenol, Cetearyl Olivate, Cetearyl Glucoside, Sorbitan Olivate, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Lecithin, Carbomer, Arginine, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Tocopherol, Retinal(0.1%), Xanthan Gum, Ethylhexylglycerin, Adenosine, Sorbitan Isostearate, Sodium Lactate, Hydrolyzed Sponge, Disodium EDTA, Polysorbate 20, Ascorbic Acid, Glucose, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7

Directions

As part of your PM routine, after cleansing and toning, apply a small amount to areas of concern — forehead, smile lines, around the eyes, or wherever wrinkles and enlarged pores appear. Pat gently to absorb. A mild tingle is normal (that's the A-Shot™ working). Follow with moisturiser.

New to retinoids? Patch test, then use every other night for the first two weeks, building to nightly as tolerated. Always apply SPF 30+ the next morning as retinoids increase sun sensitivity. Avoid during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Pro tip: Layer over the Celimax Vita-A Retinol Shot Tightening Serum as they're designed to work together for a balanced retinol-and-retinal routine.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Celimax Vita-A Retinal Shot Tightening Booster?

A concentrated, high-performance retinal treatment designed to firm sagging skin, refine enlarged pores and smooth the look of deep wrinkles. It combines 0.1% nano-sized liposomal retinal — the faster-acting form of vitamin A — with 3% Matrixyl 3000 peptides and 1% panthenol, delivered deep into the skin by Celimax's A-Shot micro-particle technology. It's a 15ml tube.

What's the difference between retinal and retinol?

Both are forms of vitamin A, but retinal (retinaldehyde) converts into the skin's active form in fewer steps than retinol, so it works faster and is considered more potent. It remains gentler than prescription retinoids, making this booster a great middle ground for targeted firming and pore care.

Why does the booster tingle when I apply it?

That's the A-Shot technology working. The refined micro-particles (listed as hydrolysed sponge) create tiny channels in the skin's surface to boost absorption of the retinal and peptides, which produces a mild tingling sensation. It signals the actives are penetrating, and should settle — reduce frequency if it feels uncomfortable.

What does Matrixyl 3000 do?

Matrixyl 3000 is a patented low-molecular peptide duo (palmitoyl tripeptide-1 and palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7), used here at 3%. It supports the skin's collagen and elastin, working alongside the retinal to firm, plump and smooth fine lines and refine the look of enlarged pores.

Can beginners use it?

Yes, with a careful approach. Patch test first, then apply a small amount to targeted areas only, every other night for the first two weeks. Build up to nightly use as your skin adjusts. Some mild tingling is normal, but reduce frequency if you notice irritation or excessive dryness.

How do I use it in my routine?

Use it at night, after cleansing and toning. Apply a small amount to areas of concern — forehead, smile lines, around the eyes or wherever wrinkles and enlarged pores appear — and pat gently to absorb. Follow with moisturiser, and always apply SPF 30 or higher the next morning, as retinoids increase sun sensitivity.

Should I use it with the Retinol Shot Serum?

Yes — Celimax designed the two to work together for a balanced routine. Use the gentler Retinol Shot Tightening Serum across the face, then apply this stronger Retinal Shot Booster to targeted areas that need extra firming and pore care. Many people build up to using both nightly.

Can I use it if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?

No — because it contains retinal (a form of vitamin A), it's not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Look for a bakuchiol or peptide-based firming alternative during this time, and check with your doctor if you're unsure.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

The liposome-encapsulated retinal is designed to deliver results with less irritation than traditional retinoids, and panthenol helps keep skin comfortable. That said, all retinoids require care on sensitive skin — introduce it slowly, patch test, and pair it with a good moisturiser.

Where can I buy Celimax in Australia?
