Retinol vs Retinal: Which Celimax Shot Do You Need?

Celimax makes two products with almost identical names, and people mix them up constantly.

This one, the Retinol Shot Serum (30ml), uses 0.1% pure retinol. Retinol is the classic, most-studied form of vitamin A. It converts to retinoic acid in two steps, so it works gradually and predictably. This is the right starting point if you are new to vitamin A, and the 30ml size makes it the better value for daily long-term use.

The Celimax Retinal Shot Tightening Booster (15ml) uses 0.1% retinal (retinaldehyde), which converts in one step and therefore acts faster. Better suited to people who already tolerate retinol and want quicker results.

Same brand, same A-Shot technology, different molecule and different pace. Neither is better in the abstract, they suit different stages.

Key Ingredients

0.1% Pure Retinol: high-grade, underivatised vitamin A. Targets fine lines, forehead wrinkles, nasolabial folds, enlarged pores and loss of elasticity.

9-Peptide Complex: nine functional peptides including Tripeptide-1, Hexapeptide-9, Copper Tripeptide-1, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 and Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, working together to support the appearance of firmness and smoother texture.

A-Shot Technology (162,000 micro-particles): refined particles derived from hydrolysed sponge, roughly 16 times finer than a pore, designed to aid absorption of the actives. These create a mild prickling sensation on application. This is normal and expected, not a fault.

1% Panthenol: hydrates and offsets the dryness retinol can cause, keeping the formula comfortable.

Allantoin and Tocopherol (Vitamin E): soothe and add antioxidant support.

Adenosine and Beta-Carotene: support the anti-ageing action alongside the retinol.

What It Does

Smooths fine lines and wrinkles. Works on forehead lines, crow's feet and nasolabial folds over consistent use.

Refines enlarged pores. Celimax reports a 41.85% reduction in pore area after two weeks of use in their own testing.

Improves the look of wrinkles. Celimax reports a 15.62% improvement in forehead wrinkles over the same two-week period.

Supports firmness and elasticity. The 9-peptide complex targets the appearance of sagging and loss of definition.

Smooths rough texture. Retinol supports skin renewal, which is what evens out surface irregularity.

Stays comfortable. Panthenol, allantoin and vitamin E balance the active formula so it does not strip.

Results vary between individuals. Clinical figures are Celimax's own reported testing.

How to Use

1. Use at night only. Retinol is light-sensitive.
2. Cleanse and tone, then let skin dry fully.
3. Apply a moderate amount evenly across the face, avoiding the eye area, lips and any broken or irritated skin.
4. Pat lightly to aid absorption. A mild prickling sensation from the A-Shot particles is normal.
5. Follow with a moisturiser.
6. Every morning after use, apply sunscreen. Non-negotiable with retinol.

New to retinol? Apply every other night for the first two weeks, focusing on areas with visible pores or lines. Once your skin has adjusted, move to nightly across the whole face. If irritation appears, reduce frequency rather than stopping entirely.

Do not layer with strong exfoliants, AHAs, BHAs or other retinoids in the same routine while building tolerance.

Who It Is For

Suitable for all skin types, with the best fit being dry, mature and texture-conscious skin. Also works for oily and combination skin dealing with enlarged pores.

Best for fine lines, wrinkles, loss of firmness, enlarged pores and uneven texture.

Not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Like all vitamin A derivatives, retinol is not recommended if you are pregnant or nursing. Very sensitive skin should patch test first.

Build the Full Routine

Retinol increases sun sensitivity, so daily SPF is mandatory. Pair this with a sunscreen from our Sun Care range.

A barrier-supporting moisturiser such as the Dr Althea 345 Relief Cream helps offset dryness in the first few weeks. For a morning brightening step that pairs cleanly with night-time retinol, the Arencia Vitamin C Booster Shot or the AXIS-Y Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum both work well.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the price of the Celimax Retinol Shot Serum in Pakistan?

The 30ml bottle is available at Make Up Beauty PK at the best price in Pakistan, with cash on delivery nationwide.

What is the difference between the Retinol Shot Serum and the Retinal Shot Booster?

This one uses 0.1% pure retinol in a 30ml bottle. The Booster uses 0.1% retinal in 15ml. Retinal converts to retinoic acid faster, so it acts more quickly. Retinol is the gentler, more established option and better for beginners.

Why does it tingle or prickle when I apply it?

That is the A-Shot micro-particles, 162,000 refined particles designed to aid absorption. The sensation is expected and settles within a minute. If it becomes burning rather than prickling, reduce frequency.

Can beginners use this?

Yes, with a gradual start. Every other night for two weeks, then nightly once comfortable. Retinol is the more forgiving of the two vitamin A forms.

Will it cause peeling or purging?

Mild flaking can occur in the first two to four weeks as skin turnover speeds up. Reduce frequency and increase moisturiser if it becomes uncomfortable. It typically settles.

Morning or night?

Night only. Retinol degrades in light and increases sun sensitivity. Always apply sunscreen the following morning.

How long does a 30ml bottle last?

With nightly use, roughly two to three months.

Is it safe during pregnancy?

No. Vitamin A derivatives including retinol are not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Can I use it with vitamin C or exfoliants?

Keep them separate. Vitamin C in the morning, retinol at night. Avoid AHAs, BHAs and other retinoids on the same nights until your skin has adjusted.

Does it really shrink pores?

Pores have a fixed genetic size and cannot physically shrink. What retinol does is clear congestion and refine surface texture, which makes pores appear noticeably smaller. Celimax's own testing reports a 41.85% reduction in measured pore area after two weeks.

How should I store it?

Cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, cap sealed tightly. Retinol is light-sensitive and loses potency if stored poorly.
