CELIMAX Retinol Shot Tightening Serum 30ml

If you want to start retinol but worry about irritation, a low-strength serum with soothing support is a good place to begin. The Celimax Retinol Shot Tightening Serum pairs 0.1% pure retinol with a 9-peptide complex, to support firmer, smoother-looking skin and help with the look of fine lines and pores. It has a lightweight feel and soothing ingredients to keep the experience gentle.

This retinol serum, available in Canada, combines retinol with panthenol, vitamin E, carrot root extract, and allantoin, which help ease the dryness or sensitivity that retinol can bring. It also uses the brand's micro-particle A-Shot delivery, so you may feel a mild tingling as it absorbs, which is normal. Because retinol works best at night, you use it in your PM routine, after cleansing and before your moisturizer.

This Korean retinol serum, available in Canada, is a good pick for retinol beginners and sensitive-leaning skin, thanks to its low strength and soothing formula.  A few important notes: retinol makes your skin more sensitive to the sun, so daily sunscreen is a must, and this serum is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Start slowly, every other night, and build up as your skin adjusts.
