Description

The everyday retinol step that actually feels gentle. The Celimax Vita-A Retinol Shot Tightening Serum is an anti-ageing serum built around 0.1% pure retinol and a 9-peptide complex to firm sagging skin, refine enlarged pores and smooth the look of fine lines and wrinkles. Celimax's A-Shot™ technology delivers the actives deep into the skin through ultra-fine micro-particles — with 162,000 A-Shots per bottle — while 1% panthenol, vitamin E, carrot root extract and allantoin keep skin calm, hydrated and comfortable. Gentle enough for regular use across the whole face, it's the perfect entry into retinol.

Pure retinol - not a derivative: Formulated with 0.1% pure vitamin A retinol (not a watered-down retinol ester) for genuine anti-ageing results, encapsulated for a gentler, more comfortable experience.

A 9-peptide complex for firmness: A powerhouse blend of nine functional peptides — including copper tripeptide-1, acetyl hexapeptide-8 and palmitoyl tripeptide-1 — supports collagen and elasticity to firm, plump and smooth the skin over time.

A-Shot™ deep delivery: 162,000 ultra-fine A-Shot™ micro-particles stimulate the skin and drive retinol and peptides deeper for enhanced absorption — you may feel a mild tingle, which signals the formula is working.

Soothing and hydrating: 1% panthenol, vitamin E, carrot root extract and allantoin keep skin calm, moisturised and comfortable — helping the retinol work without leaving skin tight or irritated.

Directions

As part of your PM routine, after cleansing and toning, apply an appropriate amount evenly over the entire face.
Pat gently to absorb. A mild tingle is normal (that's the A-Shot™ working). Follow with moisturiser.

New to retinol? 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 retinol increases sun sensitivity. Avoid during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Pro tip: for targeted, higher-strength care, layer the Celimax Vita-A Retinal Shot Tightening Booster on areas that need extra firming — the two are designed to work together.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Celimax Vita-A Retinol Shot Tightening Serum?

An anti-ageing serum built around 0.1% pure retinol and a 9-peptide complex to firm sagging skin, refine enlarged pores and smooth the look of fine lines and wrinkles. Celimax's A-Shot technology delivers the actives deep into the skin, while panthenol, vitamin E, carrot root extract and allantoin keep skin calm and hydrated. It's a 30ml bottle.

What is the Celimax retinol shot used for?

It's an everyday anti-ageing treatment for firming, smoothing and refining the skin. The 0.1% pure retinol works to soften the look of fine lines and wrinkles, tighten the appearance of enlarged pores and improve elasticity, while the peptide complex supports collagen for firmer, bouncier skin over time.

Is the Celimax retinol shot good for beginners?

Yes — it's one of the more beginner-friendly retinol serums. The 0.1% pure retinol is encapsulated for gentler delivery, and soothing panthenol, allantoin and vitamin E help keep skin comfortable. Start by patch testing, then use it every other night for the first two weeks before building up to nightly use.

Can I use the Celimax retinol shot every day?

Eventually, yes — but not straight away. For the first two weeks, use it every other night so your skin can build tolerance. Once your skin is comfortable with no irritation, you can move to nightly use. Always follow with SPF the next morning, as retinol increases sun sensitivity.

What's the difference between the Retinol Serum and the Retinal Booster?

The Retinol Shot Serum (this product) is the gentler, everyday step designed for the whole face, ideal for building tolerance. The Retinal Shot Booster is stronger and faster-acting, for targeted use on specific concerns like deep wrinkles or enlarged pores. Celimax designed the two to be layered together for a complete routine.

Why does it tingle when I apply it?

The tingle comes from Celimax's A-Shot technology — 162,000 ultra-fine micro-particles that create tiny channels in the skin to boost absorption of the retinol and peptides. It's a normal sign the actives are penetrating, and it should settle. Reduce how often you use it if the sensation feels uncomfortable.

Does the Celimax retinol shot actually work?

It's formulated with 0.1% pure retinol — the gold-standard, clinically-backed anti-ageing ingredient — rather than a weaker derivative, plus a nine-peptide complex and A-Shot delivery to enhance absorption. With consistent nightly use and sun protection, users can expect firmer, smoother skin and a refined look to pores and fine lines over time.

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

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

How should I use it with sunscreen?

Always apply SPF 30 or higher every morning while using this serum. Retinol makes your skin more sensitive to UV, and sun exposure can undo its anti-ageing benefits, so daily sunscreen is essential to protect both your skin and your results — especially in Australia.

Where can I buy Celimax in Australia?

You can purchase the authentic Celimax Vita-A Retinol Shot Tightening Serum 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.
