Dealing with dull, textured skin or feeling like your expensive serums are just sitting on the surface? The VT Reedle Shot 50 is designed to gently wake up your skin, helping your entire routine work harder. Its innovative formula creates micro-pathways to deliver active ingredients deeper, making it a perfect booster for the humid Mauritian climate where products can often feel like they're not absorbing properly.

• What it is: A mild, daily-use exfoliating and absorption-boosting essence powered by Cica Reedle™ technology.
• Who it's for: Ideal for beginners to micro-spicule treatments or those with sensitive skin. Suitable for anyone looking to improve skin texture, minimize the appearance of pores, and enhance the effectiveness of their other skincare products.
• What to expect: A unique, temporary tingling or prickly sensation upon application is normal and indicates the micro-needles are working. With consistent use, expect smoother, more radiant skin that better absorbs subsequent skincare products.

1. Cleanser: Wash your face thoroughly.
2. VT REEDLE SHOT 50: Apply 1-2 pumps to your clean, bare face as the very first step of your routine.
3. Sunscreen (AM) / Moisturiser (PM): Follow with your favorite hydrating serum and a moisturiser to seal everything in. Always use sunscreen during the day.

Note: Already own a similar exfoliating product? Use that one up first to practice mindful consumption. The Reedle shot is a booster, not a replacement for your core hydrators.

The Reedle Shot 50 is gentle enough for daily AM and PM use. If you have sensitive skin, start with PM-only use.

• Minimalist (4 steps): 1) Gentle Cleanser → 2) VT REEDLE SHOT 50 → 3) Hydrating Serum (e.g., Hyaluronic Acid) → 4) Sunscreen SPF 30+
• Optional: Add a light moisturiser before sunscreen if your skin feels tight or your SPF isn't hydrating enough for Mauritius's varied climate (e.g., dry indoor AC).

• Minimalist (4 steps): 1) Double Cleanse (Oil → Foam, especially if wearing makeup or water-resistant SPF) → 2) VT REEDLE SHOT 50 → 3) Targeted Serum (e.g., for hydration or brightening) → 4) Moisturiser.
• Rule of Thumb: Always apply the Reedle Shot to a completely clean face before any toners or other treatment products.

Amount: 1-2 pumps for the entire face.

Frequency: Start by using it every 2-3 nights to allow your skin to acclimate. You can gradually increase to daily use (AM and PM) if your skin tolerates it well.

Method:

1. Apply to a freshly cleansed face.
2. Gently press and massage the product into the skin in a rolling motion rather than aggressive rubbing. This helps the Cica Reedles™ penetrate effectively.
3. Wait for it to fully absorb, then follow with the rest of your skincare routine (serums, moisturiser).

Important Sensation: A mild, prickly or tingling feeling is a normal part of the experience. It means the micro-spicules are stimulating the skin. This sensation usually subsides after a few minutes but may be felt again when you apply subsequent products.

Safety: Do not use with skincare devices (like LED masks or microcurrent tools). Avoid using immediately after professional dermatological treatments. Do not use on open wounds or inflamed skin.

Because the Reedle Shot stimulates the skin, be mindful when using it with other strong actives.

• If you are a beginner: Start using the Reedle Shot 50 on its own every 2-3 nights. For example: Mon (Reedle Shot), Tue (Hydration), Wed (Hydration), Thu (Reedle Shot).
• If using with other actives: It is generally recommended to alternate nights. Do not use Reedle Shot on the same night as strong retinoids or high-concentration AHA/BHA exfoliants until you know how your skin tolerates the combination.
• Example Week (PM focus):
  • Mon: VT REEDLE SHOT 50
  • Tue: Retinoid Night
  • Wed: VT REEDLE SHOT 50
  • Thu: Exfoliating Acid (AHA/BHA) Night
  • Fri: VT REEDLE SHOT 50
  • Sat: Soothing/Hydrating Night (no strong actives)
  • Sun: Soothing/Hydrating Night (no strong actives)

• Immediate: A tingling sensation upon application. You may notice that subsequent products in your routine absorb faster and more effectively.
• 1-2 Weeks: Skin texture may begin to feel smoother to the touch. The appearance of pores can look more refined.
• 4-8+ Weeks: With consistent use, skin tone appears more even and radiant. The booster effect helps improve the overall performance of your entire skincare regimen.

Why use the Reedle Shot instead of harsh physical scrubs?

Harsh scrubs with large, irregular particles (like sugar or crushed pits) can cause micro-tears on the skin's surface, leading to irritation and potentially worsening hyperpigmentation (PIH). The Reedle Shot uses microscopic, uniformly shaped spicules derived from silica to create controlled micro-channels. This provides a more refined and targeted way to exfoliate and boost absorption without the risk of abrasive damage.

• Works Well With: Hydrating ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, Beta-Glucan, and Panthenol. Soothing ingredients like Niacinamide and other Centella Asiatica products. These can be applied after the Reedle Shot to maximize absorption and provide comfort.
• Use With Caution: Avoid layering with high-concentration Vitamin C, Retinoids (Retinol, Retinal), and strong AHA/BHA exfoliants in the same routine, especially when you are new to the product. It's best to alternate their use on different nights to prevent over-stimulation and irritation.

• Oily / Combination / Normal Skin: Excellent. The lightweight, watery texture absorbs quickly without adding grease, and it helps other products penetrate better, which is ideal for oilier types.
• Dry Skin: Very good. It helps hydrating serums and rich moisturisers absorb more deeply to combat dryness more effectively.
• Sensitive Skin: Use with caution. The Reedle Shot 50 is the mildest in the range and designed for beginners or sensitive skin. However, a patch test is essential. The tingling sensation may be more intense for reactive skin.

• Dull, tired-looking skin

• Niacinamide: A form of Vitamin B3 that helps brighten the skin, improve uneven skin tone, refine the appearance of pores, and support the skin barrier. (Ingredient Rationale)
• Triple Hyaluronic Acid: A blend of hyaluronic acid molecules of different sizes that hydrate multiple layers of the skin, helping it to stay plump and moisturised. (Ingredient Rationale)

• Fragrance Status: Fragrance-Free. The formula does not contain added artificial fragrances.
• EU Allergens: None declared by the brand based on the provided INCI list.
• Primary Sensation: The most notable sensory aspect is the physical tingling/prickling from the Cica Reedles™. This is an intended effect and not an allergic reaction, but users should be aware of it. Patch testing is strongly advised.

Who should use with caution: Individuals with extremely sensitive, reactive, or compromised skin (e.g., active eczema, rosacea flare-ups, open acne lesions) should approach this product with caution.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a small amount of the Reedle Shot 50 to a discreet area, such as behind the ear or on the inner arm.
2. Wait 24 hours to observe for any signs of excessive redness, itching, or irritation beyond the expected tingling.
3. If no adverse reaction occurs, proceed with applying to a small area of the face (like the jawline) for another 24 hours before using on the entire face.

If Irritation Occurs: Discontinue use if you experience excessive burning, a rash, or persistent redness. The initial tingling should be temporary.

Teens: Suitable for teens looking to improve skin texture, but should be introduced slowly and with parental guidance. The core routine for teens should always be cleanser, moisturiser, and SPF.

• Texture & Finish: A lightweight, watery gel-essence that absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving a sticky or greasy residue.
• Scent: Unscented.
• pH: Not published by the brand.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Contains Ethylhexyl Palmitate and Sorbitan Oleate, which can be potential triggers for fungal acne. If you are prone to Malassezia folliculitis, patch test carefully on an affected area. Individual responses can vary.

• Issue: The tingling is too intense.
  • Solution: You may be using too much product or applying it too aggressively. Start with a smaller amount and gently press it into the skin. You can also mix it with a calming moisturiser to buffer the sensation as your skin gets used to it.
• Issue: My skin feels red or irritated after use.
  • Solution: You might be using it too frequently or combining it with other strong actives. Reduce frequency to once every 3 days and pause other exfoliants or retinoids. Always follow up with a soothing moisturiser.
• Issue: I don't feel any tingling at all.
  • Solution: Your skin may have built up a tolerance, which is normal. This doesn't mean the product isn't working. If you are a long-time user and seek a stronger effect, you may consider graduating to the Reedle Shot 100.

• Humid Summers: The lightweight, non-greasy texture is perfect for Mauritius's humid weather. It helps your subsequent hydrating serums and gels absorb fully instead of feeling like a sticky layer on top of your skin.
• Drier/AC Environments: By enhancing the absorption of your moisturisers, it helps combat the dehydrating effects of indoor air-conditioning more effectively. Your moisturiser works harder to keep your skin's barrier healthy.

Note: These are aggregated sentiments from online communities and individual experiences may vary.

"I have sensitive skin, so I'm glad I started off with the mild 50. First application felt a slight stinging pain... afterwards just felt like wasabi on my face. Paired with mild niacinamide as suggested. I did see my skin getting a bit better, and I did feel some dead skin come off when I washed my face."

"I decided to start with the Mild Riddle Shot 50 as it's the beginner option, and I couldn't be happier! Being pregnant, I wanted something gentle and effective for my sensitive skin, and this shot delivers. It leaves my skin with a beautiful glow, and I haven't experienced any irritation at all."

"It doesn't give dramatic results. The most I noticed was a slight improvement in skin texture. It felt a bit softer and smoother... It might work better when used with other actives, but for me, it was kind of meh."

At Adilsons, we are committed to bringing you the best of authentic K-beauty. We carefully curate our selection based on efficacy, safety, and value, ensuring every product is 100% genuine and sourced directly from authorized channels in South Korea. We believe in empowering you with truthful, evidence-based information to make mindful choices for your skin.

Is the tingling/prickly feeling normal?

Yes, it is completely normal and expected. It's the sensation of the Cica Reedles™ creating micro-channels in your skin to boost absorption. It should be temporary.

Can I use this with retinol or Vitamin C?

It is best to alternate their use. Use the Reedle Shot on nights you are not using strong retinoids or high-concentration acids to avoid over-stimulating your skin. If your skin is very resilient, you may be able to use them together, but always proceed with caution.

Is this the same as a professional microneedling treatment?

No. This is a topical, at-home cosmetic product that provides a mild stimulating effect. It does not puncture the skin in the way professional microneedling does and is not a substitute for clinical procedures.

How do I choose between Reedle Shot 50, 100, 300, etc.?

The number indicates the concentration of Cica Reedles™. Reedle Shot 50 is the mildest, designed for daily use and for beginners or those with sensitive skin. Higher numbers (100, 300, 700) offer a more intense effect and should be used less frequently, only after your skin has acclimated to the lower strengths.
