Celimax — The Vita A Retinal Shot Tightening Booster 15ml

Celimax's Vita A Retinal Shot Booster is a concentrated anti-aging product focused on retinal (retinaldehyde). Unlike retinol, retinal is converted directly into retinoic acid without an additional intermediate step — its retinoid activity is approximately 10 to 20 times greater than that of retinol at an equivalent concentration. At 0.1%, this booster therefore demonstrates substantial retinoid activity, superior to a 0.15% retinol serum (like Cos De Baha L1). Important regulatory point: EU Regulation 2024/996 specifically restricts Retinol, Retinyl Acetate, and Retinyl Palmitate — but not Retinal/retinaldehyde. This product is therefore EU compliant for this active ingredient. However, the pregnancy contraindication applies to all retinoids without exception, regardless of their regulatory classification. Matrixyl® 3000 at 3% (CRODA — Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 + Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7) is the highest available concentration for this peptide complex. Niacinamide in position 6 potentially modulates retinoid irritation and contributes to even skin tone. Ascorbic Acid completes the antioxidant coverage. The 6-month PAO is short — to be communicated clearly: once opened = maximum 6 months of use. Store imperatively away from heat and direct light. Hydrolyzed Sponge (hydrolyzed marine sponge) is a secondary marine collagen active ingredient consistent with the anti-aging positioning.
