Celimax The Vita-A Retinal Shot Tightening Booster 15ml in Pakistan
The Celimax Retinal Shot Tightening Booster is a high-strength Korean firming treatment built around 0.1% nano-sized retinal, the advanced form of vitamin A that works faster than conventional retinol. Available at Make Up Beauty PK at the best price in Pakistan, 100% original, with cash on delivery nationwide.
If loss of firmness, fine lines and enlarged pores are what you see in the mirror, this is the night step that targets all three.
Retinal, Not Retinol
Many shoppers search for this as the "Celimax Retinol Shot". The correct name is the Retinal Shot, and the difference matters. Retinal (retinaldehyde) sits one conversion step closer to retinoic acid than retinol does, so the skin puts it to work faster at the same concentration. Celimax stabilises it with liposome technology and shrinks the particles to roughly five times smaller than a pore, which is how a 0.1% concentration delivers meaningful results without the harshness usually associated with strong vitamin A.
Key Benefits
Firms and tightens visibly. 0.1% nano retinal supports collagen renewal for skin that looks lifted and more elastic over consistent use.
Softens fine lines and wrinkles. Targets crow's feet, forehead lines and early signs of ageing.
Refines enlarged pores and rough texture. The nano particle size allows deeper delivery into pore-level skin.
A-Shot technology you can feel. 20,250 A-Shot micro-particles create a light tingling sensation on application as the actives penetrate.
Peptide-boosted. 3% MATRIXYL 3000, a patented peptide complex from Sederma, works alongside retinal to amplify firming results.
Comfortable enough for beginners. Panthenol, niacinamide and adenosine cushion the formula so it stays tolerable while your skin builds up.
Lightweight, fast-absorbing. Sinks in without heaviness and layers cleanly under a night moisturiser.
Key Ingredients
Retinal 0.1% (nano-sized, liposome-stabilised): the advanced vitamin A derivative that converts to retinoic acid faster than retinol.
MATRIXYL 3000 (3%): palmitoyl tripeptide-1 and palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, a peptide duo that supports firmness and skin renewal.
A-Shot micro-particles (20,250): fine particles that stimulate the skin surface and aid absorption.
Niacinamide: supports tone, texture and barrier strength.
Panthenol and Adenosine: hydrate, soothe and support the skin's ability to tolerate retinal.
Tocopherol (Vitamin E): antioxidant support against daily environmental stress.
How to Use
- Use at night only. Retinal is light-sensitive.
- Cleanse and tone, then let skin dry fully.
- Apply a pea-sized amount evenly across the face, avoiding the eye area, lips and any broken or irritated skin.
- Pat gently and give it 30 seconds to absorb.
- Follow with a barrier-supporting moisturiser.
- Every morning after use, apply sunscreen as your final step. This is not optional with retinal.
Beginners: start twice a week for the first two weeks, then move to alternate nights, then nightly once your skin is comfortable. Do not layer it with strong exfoliants, AHAs, BHAs or other retinoids in the same routine while you are building tolerance.
Who It Is For
Suitable for normal, dry, combination and oily skin. Best for anyone dealing with loss of firmness, fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores or uneven texture.
Not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Like all vitamin A derivatives, retinal is not recommended if you are pregnant or nursing. Very sensitive skin should patch test first.

Build the Full Routine
Retinal only performs if the rest of the routine supports it. Daily SPF is mandatory, so pair this with a sunscreen from our Sun Care range. A calming barrier moisturiser such as the Dr Althea 345 Relief Cream helps offset any dryness in the first few weeks.
Many people run retinal at night and vitamin C in the morning. The Arencia Vitamin C Booster Shot is a natural AM counterpart for brightening while this handles firming overnight.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the Celimax Retinol Shot or the Retinal Shot?
It is the Retinal Shot. Retinal is a more advanced, faster-acting form of vitamin A than retinol. Some Pakistani stores list this product as containing 0.1% retinol, which is incorrect.
Can beginners use this?
Yes, with a gradual start. Twice weekly for two weeks, then alternate nights, then nightly once comfortable. Use a pea-sized amount.
Will it cause purging or peeling?
Mild peeling or purging can happen in the first two to four weeks as skin turnover speeds up. Reduce frequency and increase moisturiser if it becomes uncomfortable. It typically settles.
Morning or night?
Night only. Retinal degrades in light and increases sun sensitivity. Always apply sunscreen the following morning.
How long does a 15ml bottle last?
With pea-sized nightly use, roughly six to eight weeks.
Can I use it around my eyes?
Avoid direct application near the eyes. If treating the orbital area, apply sparingly and keep well clear of the lash line.
Is it safe during pregnancy?
No. Vitamin A derivatives including retinal are not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Can I use it with vitamin C or exfoliants?
Keep them in separate routines. Vitamin C in the morning, retinal at night. Avoid AHAs, BHAs and other retinoids on the same nights until your skin has adjusted.
Is it suitable for oily and acne-prone skin?
Yes. Retinal regulates turnover, which can help with clogged pores and post-acne texture, provided it is introduced slowly.
How should I store it?
Cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, cap closed tightly. Retinal is light-sensitive and loses potency if stored badly.
