The Vita-A Retinal Shot Tightening Serum is an intensive, micro-needling-inspired treatment from the K-Beauty brand Celimax. Expertly formulated to visibly target deep wrinkles, dark spots and even enlarged pores after just 1 day of use.
This serum's signature needle-like tingle is thanks to the innovative A-Shot formula, which infuses 162,000 micro-sized particles (known as spicules), which are 16 times smaller than an average pore. These spicules, blended with concentrated active ingredients, help aid absorption to promote faster, more visible benefits compared to a typical water-based serum.
A high-performance blend of 0.1% nano- retinal and nano-peptides delivers intense nourishment and an instant boost of elasticity to dull, tired skin.
If you love to "feel" your skincare working or are looking for something new in the anti- wrinkle category, this serum is definitely a must-try. The concentrated formula is lightweight and absorbs without residue, making it ideal for daily use once your skin is happy with the tingle.
 * You will experience a tingling sensation when using products containing spicules; this is normal for this type of product, but please perform a patch test before use
Size: 30ml

How to use
How to use
Before You Start:
Patch test to ensure compatibility with your skin.
Discontinue use if irritation occurs.
It's recommended to start with a lower concentration if you're new to retinol and gradually increase.
Step-by-Step Guide:
1. Begin with a gentle cleanser to remove impurities and excess oil, leaving your skin fresh and ready to absorb the serum.
2. If toner is part of your routine, apply it after cleansing to balance your skin's pH.
3. Start small and slow! During evening care, apply 1 to 2 drops to your hand and tap with fingertips from inside out, let absorb. Limit initial use to three times per week; gradually increase frequency to every other night, use as tolerated.
4. Have an 'adaption period' when using retinol. You can also mix the oil with a cream to adapt slowly.
Week 1-2
- Frequency: Use only 2~3 times a week at night.
- How to Use: After cleansing, at the serum step, apply 1-2 drops to areas of concern, e.g., under eyes, mouth, forehead, and neck.
Week 3~
Frequency: May apply every other day at night.
- How to use: After cleansing, at the moisturiser step, may spread over the entire face.
5. Retinol can make your skin more sensitive to UV radiation. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 during the day, even if you only apply the serum at night.
Additional Tips:
Be cautious when combining retinol with other active ingredients such as vitamin C, benzoyl peroxide, or AHA/BHAs to avoid irritation.
Results can take several weeks to become noticeable. Consistent use is essential for best results.
• The 'building tolerance' phase can be shortened or extended depending on individual preference
