Retinal Usage Guide:
If you're new to retinal: For the first two weeks, use it every other evening. Apply a small, pea size amount and gently spread it over areas of concern. If you experience any irritation, reduce how much and how often you use it. You can also pair it with a soothing moisturizer to help calm the skin. The morning after using retinal, be sure to apply sunscreen as the final step of your skincare routine to protect your skin.
Once your skin has adjusted to retinal: Starting from week 3, you can use it every evening. Apply an appropriate amount and spread it evenly over your entire face.
Note: Skin responses to retinal can vary depending on your skin type. It's recommended to follow the above guidelines carefully during the first two weeks.
Precautions: For external and adult use only. Avoid contact with the eyes.

It takes time for result, quick absorb and lightweight cream
After using their Retinal Serum for a few months and really enjoying the results, I was excited to see that they launched a new cream in the same line. Since the serum is both effective and affordable, I had high hopes for this cream as well. This is a dual-action cream that combines retinal ...

In love of Celimax products
I am already a huge fan of their Retinal Shot, so I had high expectations for this one. Being 39, finding products that target both loss of firmness and fine lines without irritating my skin can be a challenge. This dual cream hits the perfect balance. It feels so nourishing, and my face looks noticeably plumper and firmer than before. Highly recommend.
Celimax
This is my 2nd Celimax skincare product and I am a big fan of the brand. Easily dispensed vividly colored dual action cream that spreads invisibly. The very 1st time applying, I did experience an initial very light prickling for a short time in small areas. It was unnoticeable by my 2nd use. Now, I use nightly, to wake up with firmer, plumper and more refreshed looking skin. My pores are less obvious and my overall skintone improved. I was given this product in exchange for my honest review, and I will definitely repurchase when I run out.


Could be a good formula but not able to find out
This product is good in theory but the execution isn't ideal. Packaging does not lend well to get product out. The tube feels like you are not getting all the product out with each use. I haven't even had the product for a month yet and already am struggling to get anything out, despite there being product left. The dual creams felt like it would be a good balance to alleviate dryness... still could be... but you get uneven distribution. Some squeezes will be all Retinal, some all hydration and some a good mix. Again, lending to the product just not being used as intended. I'm to the point of cutting the tube, mixing manually and depositing in my own jar. This should be a pump dispenser. Period. I wanted to by the reputable brand and ingredients but ultimately the execution fell extremely short. It feels like the product is fleeting and the tube is not full. I would have loved to see the results after a couple months but unfortunately will not be, considering the low amount of product, inconsistency of dispensing and poor forethought of packaging. There are 100% better products out there.
A Gentle Retinal Cream I Actually Enjoy Using
I've been enjoying using the celimax The Vita-A Retinal Shot Tightening Dual Cream as part of my evening skincare routine. I really like the dual-chamber packaging because it combines the retinal cream with a soothing moisturizer, making it easy to customize the ratio depending on how my skin feels that day. The texture is smooth, lightweight, and absorbs nicely without leaving a greasy finish. Even though it contains retinal, my skin feels comfortable and hydrated after each use rather than dry or tight. One of my favorite features is the dual pump packaging. It dispenses the ideal amount of both the retinal cream and the moisturizer every time, so there's no guesswork. I also love that I don't need a separate moisturizer afterward, which makes my evening skincare routine simple, convenient, and efficient. After several weeks of consistent use, I've noticed that my skin feels firmer and my overall texture looks more refined. I also appreciate that it's fragrance-free, making it a great option for anyone who prefers skincare without added scent.


It takes time for result, quick absorb and lightweight cream
After using their Retinal Serum for a few months and really enjoying the results, I was excited to see that they launched a new cream in the same line. Since the serum is both effective and affordable, I had high hopes for this cream as well. This is a dual-action cream that combines retinal (Vitamin A) for anti-aging with ingredients that help improve the appearance of enlarged pores. After about 1.5 weeks of using it, I have noticed that my pores look slightly tighter, which is a nice bonus. The anti-age effect? I think I need a longer time to see the result for sure. The texture is lightweight, absorbs quickly, and feels comfortable on the skin. Personally, I like retinal because it offers a stronger anti-aging option for those who feel retinol is no longer giving them the results they want. I think this cream is better suited for normal to oily skin. If you have dry or sensitive skin, or if you're new to retinal, I recommend introducing it slowly since retinal can be quite potent, and you should have hydrate step. Start by using it 1–2 times a week for the first few weeks to allow your skin to gradually adjust. It has a light herbal scent, but it fades away after about 10–15 minutes, so it doesn't bother me at all. One reason I was excited to try this cream is that I've come to trust this brand. In my experience, they make quality products at very reasonable prices. Their Retinal Serum has worked nicely for me over the past few months, so I was confident giving this cream a try. So far, it hasn't caused any irritation or discomfort, and my skin feels comfortable after each use. As for the anti-aging results, I'm not expecting dramatic changes within just a couple of weeks. Retinal is an ingredient that takes time to deliver visible improvements, so I think it's only fair to judge it after at least 2–3 months of consistent use. So far, I've had a positive experience, and I'll continue using the entire tube before sharing a final update on the long-term results. Based on my experience with this brand so far, I have high hopes for this cream.
