## How it works

Retinol Shot Tightening Serum is Celimax's concentrated, fast-absorbing booster (30ml). Panthenol is pro-vitamin B5, included to keep the skin barrier feeling supple and to soften the rough, flaky patches that show up on dry or wind-chapped skin during a Korean skincare routine's colder months. Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil is a plant-derived carrier oil chosen for its emollient, skin-softening feel, the kind of cold-pressed oil a facial cleansing oil or lip oil leans on instead of a heavier mineral base. The concentrated, fast-absorbing texture sinks in without a greasy residue, leaving skin feeling hydrated and primed for the moisturizer layered on top. It sits in a Korean routine as the targeted boost step, best layered under a moisturizer once or twice a day for a concentrated boost.

## How to use

1. Use the Retinol Shot Tightening Serum after toner and before moisturizer, morning and evening.
2. If you're new to retinol, start slow. For the first two weeks, apply celimax's Vita-A Retinol Shot every other night after cleansing. Usually around week three, you can begin applying the serum nightly. Smooth a thin, even layer over your entire face. There's no need to go overboard; just a small amount does the job!
3. Toner first so the surface is damp, then this, then about a minute before your moisturizer goes over the top.
4. Twice a day, every day. Do not stack it with a second serum of the same kind; two hydrating serums in one routine do the work of one.

## FAQ

### What is the Retinol Shot Tightening Serum?

Retinol Shot Tightening Serum is Celimax's concentrated, fast-absorbing booster (30ml), formulated as targeted boost step in a Korean skincare routine. It suits sensitive, dry, normal skin types, and it is sourced here as the authentic Korean-market formula rather than a US-shelf reformulation.

### How should I use the Retinol Shot Tightening Serum?

Press a few drops into cleansed skin morning and evening, then follow with a moisturizer to lock the boost in. Working it in this order keeps the concentrated, fast-absorbing texture behaving the way Celimax formulated it to, rather than rushing straight to the next step in the routine.

### How often should I use this booster?

Once or twice a day, layered under a regular moisturizer for a concentrated boost. Consistency across a full skin cycle of several weeks matters far more than an occasional use for a booster like this one, since most of its benefit shows up with steady, repeated application.

### Who is this booster best suited for?

This booster is best suited for sensitive, dry, normal, combination skin, particularly anyone dealing with rough, flaky or wind-chapped texture. Use at night only and introduce two or three nights a week before moving to nightly use.

### What are the key ingredients in this booster?

The formula lists Panthenol, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil and Retinol among its ingredients, alongside the rest of the base that carries them across the skin. Each one is named here in the exact form it appears on Celimax's own ingredient list, not inferred from the product name.
