The Vita-A Retinol Shot Tightening Booster

Firmness support: Retinoid activity encourages collagen-supporting signals, improving the look of elasticity and “bounce” over time.

Texture correction: Helps normalize shedding cycles, reducing roughness and visible unevenness.

Fine line smoothing: Improves the look of early lines by strengthening surface structure and refining skin texture.

Pore refinement: More consistent turnover helps prevent buildup around pores, improving the look of enlarged pores and congestion.

Better long-term tolerance: Designed to deliver retinoid benefits while supporting comfort when introduced gradually

Use at night only on clean, completely dry skin.

Apply a pea-sized amount (or less) after toner/essence.

Follow with moisturizer — for sensitive skin use the “sandwich” method (moisturizer → booster → moisturizer).

Start 2 nights/week for 2 weeks, then every other night if comfortable.

Avoid using the same night with AHA/BHA/PHA, benzoyl peroxide, strong vitamin C. Wear SPF daily.

Retinol (Vitamin A): The core active that increases cellular turnover and supports collagen pathways—key for firming, smoothing, and reducing the look of wrinkles.

Niacinamide: Barrier-supporting multitasker that helps improve uneven texture, reduce visible redness from sensitivity, and balance oil-related shine.

Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5): Humectant + soothing agent that supports barrier recovery—important because retinol can increase dryness during the adjustment phase.

Adenosine: Skin-repair supportive ingredient often used in elasticity-focused formulas to improve the appearance of fine lines.
