K-SECRET's Advanced Shot uses retinal at 12% (an unusually high concentration) in liposomal delivery, with black rice extract for antioxidant support. 15ml at $19 is aggressive pricing for retinal at this strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor users experienced with retinol who want faster results, stepping up to retinal is the natural progression. 12% retinal is approaching prescription-strength territory; this is not a beginner product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat It Does\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e12% retinal delivers rapid cell turnover support and collagen stimulation, converting to retinoic acid in one step (vs retinol's two steps).

Most retinal products are 0.1% to 0.5%. 12% likely refers to the concentration in the liposome complex rather than pure retinal percentage (encapsulated formulations list differently).
