celimax The Vita-A Retinal Shot Tightening Booster is a 15ml night booster with retinal (retinaldehyde), a vitamin A form that is generally stronger and faster-acting than retinol. It targets fine lines, rough texture, dullness and loss of firmness, so it suits normal, oily and combination skin that already tolerates a retinoid. It is the original celimax retinal shot, shipped from Seoul with Cash on Delivery.

Is celimax Retinal Shot Booster right for your skin?
Best for
- Skin that already uses retinol comfortably and wants a step up
- Fine lines, loss of firmness and rough or uneven texture
- Dull skin and post-acne marks, as part of a routine with daily sunscreen
- People who like to control strength by mixing a few drops into moisturiser
Skip it, or patch-test first, if
- You are pregnant, trying to conceive or breastfeeding: ask your doctor before using any retinoid
- You have never used a retinoid: start with the gentler celimax Vita-A Retinol Shot Tightening Serum
- Your skin is irritated or sunburnt, or you already use a prescription retinoid or strong peels: hold off and ask your doctor
- You have rosacea, eczema or very sensitive skin: patch-test and start by mixing it into moisturiser
How do you use celimax Retinal Shot Booster?
Evening
- Cleanse and pat your skin completely dry; damp skin can make retinoids sting more.
- Apply toner and let it absorb.
- New to retinal: mix 1–2 drops into your night moisturiser. Used to it: apply 1–2 drops to dry skin before moisturiser.
- Keep it away from the eyes, the corners of the nose and the lips.
- Finish with a moisturiser such as celimax Pore+Dark Spot Brightening Cream.
Start 2–3 nights a week for the first few weeks, then build up to every other night or nightly if your skin stays comfortable. Some dryness or flaking at first is common; slow down if it stings. Wear a broad-spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen every morning, even on cloudy days.
What are the key ingredients in celimax Retinal Shot Booster?
- Retinal (retinaldehyde) — a vitamin A ingredient that skin converts to retinoic acid in one step (retinol needs two), so it is generally faster-acting; it supports smoother texture, a more even-looking tone and firmer-looking skin
- Noni (Morinda citrifolia) fruit extract — celimax’s signature plant extract, used for its antioxidant and soothing feel
- Ceramides — skin-barrier lipids that help limit dryness while skin adjusts to a retinoid
Retinal vs retinol: how is this booster different from the celimax Retinol Shot?
Both are vitamin A, but they sit at different points on the same path. Skin turns retinol into retinal, then retinal into retinoic acid, the form it actually uses. Retinal skips one step, so it generally works faster and feels stronger than retinol. That is why this 15ml booster suits people who already tolerate a retinoid, while the 30ml celimax Vita-A Retinol Shot Tightening Serum is the gentler place to start. Use one or the other on a given night, never both together, and keep the same safety rules for both: start slowly, wear sunscreen daily, and ask your doctor first if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
celimax Retinal Shot Booster vs celimax Retinol Shot Serum: which should you choose?
| celimax Retinal Shot Booster | celimax Retinol Shot Serum | |
|---|---|---|
| Vitamin A form | Retinal (retinaldehyde) | Retinol |
| Strength | Stronger, faster-acting | Gentler, slower-acting |
| Format and size | Booster, 15ml | Serum, 30ml |
| Best for | Experienced retinoid users | First-time retinoid users |
| How to use | Evening; alone or mixed into moisturiser | Evening; after toner, before moisturiser |
| Safety | Start 2–3 nights a week, daily sunscreen, ask a doctor if pregnant or breastfeeding | Start 2–3 nights a week, daily sunscreen, ask a doctor if pregnant or breastfeeding |
Choose the Retinol Shot Serum if you are new to vitamin A or your skin is easily irritated. Choose the Retinal Shot Booster if you have used retinol for a few months without irritation and want a stronger step. Do not layer both on the same night.
How can you tell if your celimax Retinal Shot Booster is original?
- The booster should look smooth and even, with no separation, grainy bits or sour smell.
- The box should be sealed, with the ingredient list and celimax details printed clearly; blurred printing or spelling mistakes suggest a copy.
- A price far below other trusted sellers usually means old stock or a fake.
- Check the batch code printed on the box and the bottle: the two must match, and the code should look printed, not stuck on. Every unit we sell is batch-code checked on arrival in Seoul, and we verify any code for free — see how to check if Korean skincare is original.

celimax Retinal Shot Booster: frequently asked questions
Is the celimax Vita-A Retinal Shot Tightening Booster at Korean Skincare Pakistan original?
Yes. Korean Skincare Pakistan is an Official Authentic seller of celimax in Pakistan. Our stock is bought from official celimax channels in Seoul, every unit is batch-code checked on arrival and shipped from our Seoul warehouse. If a product is ever not original, an old batch or near expiry, you can return it free within 7 days.
Is the celimax Retinal Shot safe in pregnancy?
If you are pregnant, trying to conceive or breastfeeding, ask your doctor first before using it. Retinal is a vitamin A retinoid, and doctors usually advise avoiding retinoids during pregnancy as a precaution. Your doctor can suggest gentler options for that time, such as niacinamide or centella products, and you can return to the booster later.
Can I use the celimax Retinal Shot every day?
Not at first. Start 2–3 nights a week, mixed into your moisturiser if your skin is sensitive. After a few weeks without stinging or peeling, move to every other night, and then nightly if your skin stays comfortable. Use it in the evening only, never in the morning, and wear sunscreen every day. Many people stay at every other night long term.
Can I use the celimax Retinal Shot under my eyes for dark circles?
It is best kept away from the under-eye area. The skin there is thinner and reacts more easily to a concentrated retinal booster. Apply it to the face, staying clear of the eyes, lips and nose corners. For the under-eye area, use a product made for it, such as a retinol eye cream, and introduce that slowly as well.
What is the celimax Retinal Shot good for?
It is a vitamin A booster for skin ageing and texture. Retinal speeds up skin renewal, which over time can make fine lines, rough texture, dullness and post-acne marks look softer and skin look firmer. Results build gradually over months, not days, and only with daily sunscreen. It is not meant for irritated, broken or sunburnt skin.
Can I use the celimax Retinal Shot with niacinamide, vitamin C or acids?
Yes, with timing. Niacinamide and hydrating serums pair well with it at night. Use vitamin C in the morning and the retinal in the evening. Avoid AHA, BHA or peeling products on the same night, especially in the first month; use them on different nights instead. Do not layer it with another retinoid, such as the celimax Retinol Shot.
