Description
Two forms of vitamin A, one complete anti-ageing routine. This set pairs Celimax's cult Vita-A Retinol Shot Tightening Serum (30ml) with the high-strength Vita-A Retinal Shot Tightening Booster (15ml), plus a 3ml bonus mini, so you can layer gentle everyday retinol with targeted, fast-acting retinal exactly where your skin needs it. Both are powered by Celimax's A-Shot™ micro-particle delivery technology, engineered to carry actives deep into pores for visibly firmer, smoother, tighter-looking skin.
Retinol and retinal, working as a team: Retinol is the gentler, slower-acting form which is ideal for building tolerance across the whole face. Retinal converts to active vitamin A in fewer steps, so it works faster where you need targeted results. Celimax designed these two to be used together for a balanced, effective routine.
A-Shot™ delivery technology: A refined micro-particle ingredient roughly 16 times finer than a pore, designed to penetrate directly into pores and boost absorption of the active ingredients. High-purity refinement keeps particle sizes uniform, which helps reduce irritation.
Clinically proven results: Both formulas are clinically tested to improve the appearance of wrinkles, reduce pore size and enhance skin density for firmer-looking skin.
Peptide-powered firming: Matrixyl 3000 in the booster and a 9-peptide complex in the serum work alongside the retinoids to support collagen, plump fine lines and smooth texture with panthenol added to keep skin comfortable.
What's Inside:
The Vita-A Retinol Shot Tightening Serum (30ml): Your everyday retinoid step. Formulated with 0.1% pure vitamin A retinol - not a retinol derivative - plus a 9-peptide complex, 1% panthenol and 162,000 A-Shot™ particles. The nine functional peptides work together to support elasticity, smoothing the look of fine lines, refining texture and tightening the appearance of enlarged pores. Hypoallergenic and dermatologist-tested for sensitive skin.
The Vita-A Retinal Shot Tightening Booster (15ml): The powerhouse. Nano-sized 0.1% liposomal retinal is paired with 3% Matrixyl (including Matrixyl 3000 peptides), 1% panthenol, niacinamide and 20,250 A-Shot™ particles for faster-acting elasticity, pore and wrinkle care. Lightweight, fast-absorbing and designed for targeted application.
Bonus 3ml mini Retinal Shot: A deluxe travel-size extra included with this set - perfect for trialling, travel or your handbag.

Directions
PM Routine Only:
1- Cleanse and tone as usual.
2- Apply the Retinol Shot Tightening Serum across the face.
3- Follow with the Retinal Shot Tightening Booster on areas where you want extra firming and texture care.
4- Finish with a moisturiser to keep skin comfortable.
Always apply SPF 30+ the next morning as retinoids increase sun sensitivity.
New to retinoids? Patch test first, then use the booster every other night for the first two weeks, applying a small amount to targeted areas only. Build up to nightly use as your skin adapts. Some dryness, redness or flaking during this adjustment period ("retinisation") is normal. Reduce frequency and amount if irritation appears, and layer on a soothing moisturiser.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Celimax Vita-A Retinol + Retinal Shot Tightening Serum & Booster Set?
An anti-ageing duo pairing the Vita-A Retinol Shot Tightening Serum (30ml) with the high-strength Vita-A Retinal Shot Tightening Booster (15ml), plus a 3ml bonus Retinal Shot mini. Both use Celimax's A-Shot micro-particle delivery technology to carry vitamin A and peptides deep into pores for firmer, smoother, tighter-looking skin.
What's the difference between retinol and retinal?
Both are forms of vitamin A, but they work at different speeds. Retinal converts into the skin's active form of vitamin A in fewer steps, so it delivers visible results faster and is the more potent of the two. Retinol works more slowly and gently, making it better tolerated by sensitive skin and retinoid beginners. This set includes both so you can use gentle retinol across the face and targeted retinal where you want faster results.
How do I use the two products together?
Use them at night. After cleansing and toning, apply the Retinol Shot Tightening Serum across your face, then follow with the Retinal Shot Tightening Booster on areas where you want extra firming and texture care. Finish with a moisturiser, and always apply SPF 30+ the next morning.
Can I use this if I'm new to retinoids?
Yes, but start slowly. Patch test first, then use the booster every other night for the first two weeks, applying a small amount to targeted areas only. Build up to nightly use once your skin feels comfortable. If irritation appears, reduce how often or how much you apply.
Is dryness or flaking normal when I start?
Yes, it's called retinisation, the adjustment period as your skin builds tolerance to vitamin A. Temporary dryness, redness or light flaking is common and usually settles as your skin adapts. Scale back frequency if it becomes uncomfortable, and keep your moisturiser generous.
What are the key ingredients?
The serum contains 0.1% pure retinol, a 9-peptide complex, 1% panthenol and 162,000 A-Shot particles. The booster contains 0.1% liposomal retinal, 3% Matrixyl (including Matrixyl 3000 peptides), 1% panthenol, niacinamide and 20,250 A-Shot particles. A-Shot is a refined micro-particle roughly 16 times finer than a pore, designed to boost absorption while keeping irritation low.
Why does my skin look slightly yellow after applying the booster?
That's completely normal. Retinal has a natural yellow tint. It sits on the surface temporarily and washes off completely at your next cleanse.
Do I need to wear sunscreen with this?
Absolutely, and it's non-negotiable. Retinoids increase your skin's sensitivity to UV, so daily SPF 30 or higher is essential while using this set especially in Australia.
Can I use it in the morning?
No. Both formulas are designed for night use only, when your skin repairs and there's no UV exposure to degrade the vitamin A.
Where can I buy Celimax in Australia?
You can purchase the authentic Celimax Vita-A Retinol + Retinal Shot Tightening Serum & Booster Set and the full Celimax range at Kosmetics with free standard shipping across Australia on orders over $45, and free express shipping on orders over $99.
