FirmShot Retinal Booster
Your retinol
isn't weak.
It's just still
sitting on
your face.
Retinol has to convert twice before your skin can use it. Retinal converts once. FirmShot delivers retinaldehyde in micro-particles small enough to get past the surface — so the actives finish the job instead of drying out on top of it.
One step from
active. Not two.
Every vitamin A has to become retinoic acid before your skin responds to it. Retinol takes two conversions. Retinal takes one. That missing step is the difference between six months of nothing and results you can measure.
16× smaller
than your pores.
Most vitamin A never gets deep enough to do anything. The 20,250 A-Shot™ system refines the actives into uniformly sized liposomal micro-particles — 16 times finer than a pore opening — so they travel in instead of sitting on top and oxidising.

Four things
nobody copies
quickly.
Retinal, not retinol
One enzymatic step from active. You aren't waiting on your skin to do two jobs first.
20,250 A-Shot™ delivery
Liposomal micro-particles 16× finer than a pore. Actives go in, not on.
3% Matrixyl® 3000
A full peptide dose, not a trace. Retinal renews the surface; peptides rebuild density underneath.
1% panthenol buffer
Barrier support built into the formula, so the strength doesn't cost you a week of flaking.
Fragrance-free · Night use · Non-comedogenic
Strong on purpose.
Dosed on schedule.
Retinal at 0.1% is a real active, and real actives need a ramp. Follow the dot sizes and you build tolerance instead of fighting it. A mild tingle in week one is normal — peeling means you went too fast.
15ml · Roughly one full cycle per tube

Retinal — Renew
0.1%Accelerates surface turnover and collagen signalling. Liposome-encapsulated so it reaches depth before it degrades.

Yes — the dose is 2mm to 4mm, not a fingertip scoop. On the ramp-up schedule one tube carries you through a full retinization cycle and into nightly use. If you're finishing it in two weeks you're using far too much, which is also why your skin is complaining.
Only if you skip the ramp. Every other night for two weeks, then nightly. The 1% panthenol is there specifically to buffer the adjustment. Expect mild tingle or slight dryness in week one; that settles. Stinging and peeling mean you jumped ahead — drop back a step for a week.
Right question to ask. Retinal degrades on contact with light and air, so FirmShot ships in an opaque, air-restricted metal tube with a narrow nozzle — not a jar, not a clear dropper. The retinal itself is liposome-encapsulated, which shields the molecule until it's in the skin. Keep the cap on and store it off the windowsill.
Not in the same session. Vitamin C in the morning, FirmShot at night. Exfoliating acids get their own nights — alternate, don't layer. Niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, ceramides and peptides pair fine on the same night.
Pore visibility and smoothness shift first — imaging showed measurable pore change after a single night. Line depth and firmness sit in the 2 to 8 week window. Anyone promising a new face in 72 hours is selling you a filter.
Orders pack within 1 business day and ship tracked door to door. Tubes leave sealed and light-protected so the formula arrives in the condition it left in. If yours turns up damaged or the seal is broken, message support with a photo and we'll replace it — no return shipping needed.
Sensitive skin: patch test behind the ear for two nights, then start at 2mm twice a week rather than every other night. Rosacea, active eczema or a compromised barrier: get a dermatologist's read first. Pregnant or breastfeeding: retinoids are generally advised against — talk to your doctor before starting.
