How to Use

For the best results, follow these steps in your PM routine only:

1. After cleansing and toning, apply a pea-sized amount to your dry face and neck.
2. Gently pat into the skin until fully absorbed.
3. Follow with a nourishing moisturizer.
4. Crucial Step: Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher the next morning.

Frequency: Start slow! Use 2-3 times a week for the first 2 weeks. If your skin responds well, you can gradually increase usage to every other night.

Expert Tips: The Do’s & Don’ts

DO Pair With: A rich moisturizer containing Ceramides or Hyaluronic Acid to keep your skin hydrated and happy. For sensitive skin, try the “sandwich method”: apply moisturizer, then the retinol serum, and then another layer of moisturizer.

DON’T Mix With: Avoid using other strong actives in the *same* routine. This includes Vitamin C, AHAs (like Glycolic Acid), and BHAs (like Salicylic Acid). Use them on alternate nights or use Vitamin C in your AM routine.

Q&A

Is the Celimax Vita A Retinol Serum good for acne-prone skin?

Yes! By promoting cell turnover, retinol helps prevent pores from getting clogged, which can reduce breakouts. It’s also excellent for fading the appearance of post-acne marks. Just remember to introduce it slowly to allow your skin to adjust.

Can I use this if I have sensitive skin?

This serum is designed to be gentler than many traditional retinol products, making it a great option for sensitive skin types looking to start their retinol journey. We always recommend performing a patch test on your inner arm first. Start by using it only once a week and consider the “sandwich method” to buffer potential irritation.
