Celimax The Vita-A Retinol Shot Tightening Serum

Celimax The Vita-A Retinol Shot Tightening Serum. This advanced Korean anti-ageing serum combines 0.1% pure retinol with the brand’s exclusive A-Shot™ Technology to enhance the delivery of active ingredients deep into the skin, helping improve the appearance of wrinkles, enlarged pores, uneven texture, and loss of elasticity.

Unlike conventional retinol serums, this formula uses ultra-fine A-Shot™ micro-particles, engineered to be significantly smaller than the average pore, to improve ingredient penetration while helping minimise irritation. The result is smoother, firmer skin with a refined texture and visibly tighter pores.

The serum is further enriched with a 9-Peptide Complex, including Copper Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, and Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, to support skin firmness and elasticity. 1% Panthenol, Allantoin, and Sunflower Seed Oil help maintain hydration and comfort, making the formula gentler than many traditional retinol treatments.

Clinical testing by the brand found improvements in the appearance of wrinkles, pore size, and skin density after regular use.
