How to Use Celimax Vita-A Retinoid Range Safely & Effectively

✨ How to Use Celimax Vita-A Retinoid Range Safely & Effectively

Powerful results start with the right routine. Here’s how to make the most of your Celimax Vita-A products — whether you use them solo or as a duo.🔹 1. Celima The Vita-A Retinal Shot Tightening Booster

What it is:
A high-strength 0.1% retinal formula designed to reduce deep wrinkles, refine pores, and firm sagging areas.

How to Use:

  • Use at night only, on clean, dry skin.

  • Apply a pea-sized amount on targeted areas like crow’s feet, nasolabial folds, or forehead lines.

  • Follow with a gentle moisturizer.

  • Start 2–3 times per week, then gradually increase based on skin comfort.

  • Always apply sunscreen the next morning.

Pro Tip:
Retinal is stronger than retinol. Patch test before use. For sensitive skin, try the sandwich method — moisturizer → retinal → moisturizer — to buffer irritation.

🔹 2. Celimax The Vita-A Retinol Shot Tightening Serum

What it is:
A gentle yet effective retinol serum, powered by micro spicules technology — ultra-fine spicules that help the formula absorb deeper and deliver firming, smoothing benefits.

How to Use:

  • Apply a thin, even layer to the entire face at night.

  • Start 2–3 nights a week, and gradually build up.

  • Always follow with a hydrating moisturizer.

  • Apply SPF 50+ sunscreen the next morning, without fail.

Pro Tip:
This is perfect for refining texture, pores, and fine lines. For beginner skin, you can also try the sandwich method.


🔹 3. Using Both Together in One Routine (Safely!)

You can use both — but smart layering is key.

Recommended Night Routine:

  1. Targeted Care First
    ➝ Apply Retinal Booster to concern areas only.

  2. Overall Care Next
    ➝ Apply Retinol Serum to the rest of the face, avoiding overlap.

  3. Seal It In
    ➝ Wait 1–2 minutes, then apply moisturizer.

  4. Next Morning
    ➝ Use SPF 50+ (non-negotiable).

Frequency:
Begin with this combo once a week, then build up to 2–3x/week as your skin adjusts.

 

⚠️ Important Reminders

  • Start low and slow — consistency is key

  • Retinoids work over time — visible results in 2–4 weeks

  • Always use a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day

  • If you notice peeling or irritation, reduce usage frequency

  • 🧴 Recommended Pairings

  • Support your retinoid routine with skin-barrier-friendly companions that boost results and reduce irritation.

  • Cleanser – Start Gentle:
    🫧 [Celimax The Real Noni Bubble Cleanser – 155ml]
    A non-stripping, pH-balanced cleanser infused with noni extract to remove impurities without disrupting your skin barrier.

  • Moisturizer – Lock in Hydration:
    💧 [Celimax The Real Noni Energy Repair Cream – 50ml]
    Ceramide-rich, calming cream that restores and strengthens your skin barrier — perfect to pair with retinoids.

  • Sunscreen – Protect Every Morning:
    🌞 [Celimax Pore+Dark Spot Brightening Care Sunscreen]
    A lightweight SPF 50+ sunscreen that shields against UV damage while helping fade spots and improve skin clarity.
