Key benefits

Firming & anti-ageing

Retinol helps support skin renewal and improve the appearance of fine lines, loss of firmness and uneven texture.

Pore appearance

The serum is specifically included in celimax’s official Blackheads / Pores collection, making pore refinement one of its core positioning areas.

Texture refining

Regular retinoid use can help skin look smoother and more even over time.

Elasticity support

Retinol and peptides help support a firmer, more resilient-looking complexion.

Skin renewal

Vitamin A derivatives support natural skin turnover, which can help improve dullness and rough texture.

How to use

1. Use in the evening after cleansing and toning.
2. Apply a small amount evenly over the face.
3. Avoid the eye and lip areas.
4. Follow with moisturiser.
5. If new to retinol, begin 2–3 nights per week.
6. Gradually increase frequency as your skin builds tolerance.
7. Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning.

Retinol tip

If your skin is sensitive to retinoids, use the moisturiser sandwich method:

Moisturiser → Retinol Serum → Moisturiser
