The Vita A Retinal Shot Tightening Booster
SUMMARY OF REVIEWS
Celimax The Vita A Retinal Shot Tightening Booster gives a noticeable tightening effect but can feel "a bit more spicy" than other retinols, per professional makeup artist CYoung. She notes it's moisturizing to offset the tingle but warns sensitive skin should be careful, and recommends it for those over 40. Several creators mention it's had viral moments on social media, though no one comments on long-term results.
