Skincare fans are praising the celimax The Vita A Retinal Shot Tightening Booster, a Korean serum that has become a number-one bestseller on Amazon, with some saying they 'don't need Botox' after using it. The product is currently available for £13.53.
The firming anti-wrinkle serum with retinol is said to 'visibly smooth skin, reduce wrinkles and fine lines'. It is recommended to use the product as part of your evening routine, applying a small amount to targeted areas.
What Shoppers Say
The serum holds a 4.3 average star rating on Amazon at the time of writing. One shopper wrote: "I have tried different serums of different brands, even expensive ones, but I must admit that this is the best. Results similar to Botox. I already bought the second pack and will buy it again. It leaves the skin smooth, the pores are narrowed and the wrinkles are relaxed!"
Perri commented: "I've been really enjoying the celimax The Vita A Retinal Shot Tightening serum. It absorbs well, feels lightweight, and leaves my skin looking smoother and firmer with regular use. Despite containing retinal, it's gentle on my skin and hasn't caused irritation. I can see why it's become such an Instagram favourite, it's an effective addition to my skincare routine, and I'd happily repurchase it."
Becki posted: "Fantastic - this product does exactly what it is made for. Would highly recommend." Maura added: "Since I started using this product I see the big difference that has made to my skin, it’s definitely worth it." Another customer said: "As always this is the best retinol to use at night. Your skin will look great in the morning!!!"
A Note of Caution
However, one reviewer, Saleem, offered a mixed view: "While this might work wonders for seasoned retinoid users, it's a risky addition to a standard routine. It can negatively affect your skin quickly if you aren't careful to use it sparingly. It’s tough to determine whether your skin will tolerate it long-term or if it’s just too aggressive for you. Average rating because it's a bit too unpredictable."
Alternative Serums
For those exploring other options, Medik8's Crystal Retinal Age-Defying Vitamin A Night Serum costs £50 and is said to 'visibly smooth stubborn wrinkles, brighten dark spots, decongest and firm your skin'. Meanwhile, Boots sells the INKEY List Start Retinol Serum, reduced from £12 to £10.80, which the brand states is 'clinically proven to visibly smooth fine lines in just seven days'.
