The celimax The Vita A Retinal Shot Tightening Booster, a Korean beauty serum retailing at £14.94, has become a number-one bestseller on Amazon. The firming anti-wrinkle serum, which contains retinol, is claimed to 'visibly smooth skin, reduce wrinkles and fine lines'.
Customer reviews and results
One customer described it as an 'effective addition to my skincare routine', while another reported her 'skin looks great in the morning'. A delighted shopper remarked: "I have tried different serums of different brands, even expensive ones, but I must admit that this is the best." Another added: "Really good. In few days I have noticed a great result. My face looks fresh, young. I had compliments from my friends, and everyone was asking what I was using to my face."
However, one reviewer, Saleem, cautioned: "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."
Alternative serums and availability
Elsewhere, Medik8's Crystal Retinal Age-Defying Vitamin A Night Serum is priced at £50, promising to 'visibly smooth stubborn wrinkles, brighten dark spots, decongest and firm your skin'. Boots also stocks the INKEY List Start Retinol Serum, reduced from £12 to £10.80, which the brand claims is 'clinically proven to visibly smooth fine lines in just seven days'.
The celimax serum currently holds an impressive 4.3-star average rating on Amazon at the time of writing.
