Celimax The Vita-A Retinal Shot Tightening Booster Duo Set — 2× 15 ml Tubes 0.1% Liposomized Retinal + 3% Matrixyl 3000 + A-Shot™ Microparticles | Korean Clinical Skincare

Brand new, factory sealed. Fast shipping with tracking.

The Celimax Vita-A Retinal Shot Tightening Booster is a clinical-grade Korean anti-aging treatment built around one of the most potent topical retinoids available outside a prescription — 0.1% liposomized retinal (also called retinaldehyde), the form of vitamin A that's just one conversion step away from prescription tretinoin. Where retinol takes two conversion steps in the skin, retinal takes only one — making it significantly faster-acting and more potent at the same percentage.

This 2-tube duo (15 ml each) is a full 2-month supply of one of the most-talked-about K-beauty retinoids of 2025–2026. If you've outgrown beginner retinol and want serious results — visible wrinkle reduction, tighter pores, and firmer skin — this is the next step.

Why customers love it:

• 0.1% Liposomized Retinal — one of the most advanced over-the-counter retinoids; up to 10× more potent than retinol at the same percentage
• 3% Matrixyl® 3000 — clinically-proven peptide complex (palmitoyl tripeptide-1 + tetrapeptide-7) for collagen support
• A-Shot™ microparticles — 20,250 ultrafine microparticles per tube, 16× thinner than pores, designed to penetrate pores and enhance absorption (the gentle tingling sensation is how you know it's working)
• 1% Panthenol — soothes and supports the skin barrier during active treatment
• Liposomal delivery — encapsulates the retinal for stability and reduced irritation
• Clinically proven to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, pores, and dullness
• 2-month supply — 2 tubes of 15 ml each
• Korean clinical skincare brand with a focus on high-strength actives
• Made in South Korea

Clinical Results (Celimax's Published Testing):

• After a single application: pore volume reduced 13.33%, pore density reduced 12.21%
• After 2 weeks: forehead wrinkles reduced 28.54%, nasolabial folds reduced 18.49%
• Clinically proven to enhance skin density for visibly firmer skin

Why Retinal Instead of Retinol?

Vitamin A skincare comes in several forms, each more or less converted before the skin can use it:

• Retinyl Palmitate → 3 conversion steps (gentlest, slowest)
• Retinol → 2 conversion steps (the most common OTC form)
• Retinal / Retinaldehyde → 1 conversion step (this product — much faster, more potent)
• Tretinoin / Retinoic Acid → already active (prescription only)

At the same percentage, retinal works significantly faster than retinol — meaning visible results in weeks rather than months. The liposomal delivery further reduces irritation, making this a more tolerable option than its strength would suggest.

The A-Shot™ Microparticle Technology:

A-Shot™ is Celimax's signature delivery technology — ultrafine refined microparticles (16× thinner than pores) that physically deliver the active ingredients deeper into the skin, beyond what a standard serum can reach. Each tube contains 20,250 microparticles. You'll feel a slight tingling sensation on application — that's the A-Shot™ working, and it's normal. Some users describe it as "champagne bubbles" — gentle, brief, and indicative of active delivery.

Key Ingredients:

• Retinal (0.1%, Liposomized) — the advanced vitamin A derivative, one step from active retinoic acid
• Matrixyl® 3000 (3%) — palmitoyl tripeptide-1 + tetrapeptide-7 peptide complex for collagen support
• Panthenol (1%) — soothing pro-vitamin B5 for barrier support
• A-Shot™ Microparticles — 20,250 per tube for enhanced active delivery

Perfect for:

• Anti-aging skincare graduates ready to step up from retinol to retinal
• Mature skin focused on visible wrinkle reduction, firmness, and texture
• Anyone with enlarged or congested pores
• K-beauty enthusiasts wanting clinical-grade actives at home
• Skin that's tolerated retinol well and is ready for a higher-potency option
• Pairing with the Celimax Retinol Shot Tightening Serum (the gentler companion product) for layered care
• Adults 30+ noticing visible signs of aging

How to use (read carefully — this is a high-potency active):

1. Use at night only — retinal increases skin's sensitivity to sunlight
2. After cleansing and toning, dispense a small amount (a rice-grain size is enough) and gently apply to targeted areas — forehead, nasolabial folds, crow's feet
3. Allow to fully absorb before applying moisturizer
4. Beginner protocol: start with every other night (or 2–3 times per week) for the first 2 weeks
5. Gradually increase frequency as tolerated — aim for nightly use after 4–6 weeks
6. Always apply broad-spectrum SPF 30+ the morning after use — non-negotiable with retinoids
7. If irritation occurs, reduce frequency and apply a calming moisturizer on top
8. Avoid the eye area, lips, and broken skin
9. Wash hands after application

A note on the yellow tint: Retinal naturally appears slightly yellow, and may briefly tint the skin after application. This is normal and washes off completely with cleansing.
