Celimax The Vita-A Retinal Shot Cream is an advanced anti-aging care cream based on a dual system that combines an effective retinal cream with a soothing and moisturizing cream in one package, giving the skin balanced care that targets wrinkles, loss of firmness and elasticity, uneven texture, and dryness. Its effective formula contains 0.05% Retinal, 3% MATRIXYL® 3000, and 33,750 A-Shot™ technology to support the renewed appearance of the skin and gradually improve its firmness and smoothness.

The dual system balances the power of ingredients that care for signs of aging with supporting skin comfort; the other formula provides 5% Panthenol with Guaiazulene and Niacinamide to help moisturize, soothe, and support the skin’s protective barrier. The retinal formula also uses A-Shot™ technology based on fine hydrolyzed sponge particles to help improve the delivery of active ingredients, while the MATRIXYL® 3000 peptide complex works to support the appearance of elasticity, firmness, and fine lines, making the cream a complete choice for evening skincare for skin that has started to show signs of aging or loss of vitality.

Usage Tips from Beauty Time:

• The cream is mainly used within the evening routine after cleansing the skin and using a suitable toner and serum.
• The Beauty Time team recommends introducing the cream into the routine gradually, especially for beginners using retinal or those with sensitive skin, and not starting daily use from the first night.
• During the first two weeks, use a small amount every other day, then increase the frequency only if no clear dryness, redness, or irritation appears.
• You may feel slight tingling or numbness during application due to A-Shot™ technology and fine sponge particles; therefore, Beauty Time recommends avoiding strong massage or excessive pressure on the skin.
• If your skin is dry or sensitive, you can apply a gentle moisturizer before or after the cream to help enhance comfort and reduce dryness during the adjustment period.
• Avoid using it in the same night with retinol, retinal, or other retinoids so the skin is not exposed to an excessive amount of vitamin A derivatives.
• It is preferable not to combine it in the same routine with AHA, BHA, PHA acids, strong exfoliants, or scrubs, especially during the first weeks.
• Do not use the cream directly after exfoliation, laser, microneedling, or dermatological procedures until the skin returns to its normal condition.
• If mild dryness or flaking appears, reduce the frequency of use and focus on hydration and supporting the skin barrier instead of adding more active ingredients.
• If the tingling is accompanied by severe redness, itching, persistent heat, or clear irritation, stop use until the skin calms down.
• To achieve the best balance between effectiveness and comfort, Beauty Time emphasizes the importance of not rushing results; gradual use and consistency are more important than increasing the amount or frequency.
• Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen SPF 30 or higher in the morning, because daily sun protection is an essential step while using vitamin A derivatives.
• Store the package away from direct sunlight and high heat, and close it well after use to help maintain formula stability.
