Dealing with stubborn dark spots or a dull complexion from Mauritius's strong sun can be frustrating. This daily sheet mask pack offers a unique, intensive approach to brightening. It uses VT's special CICA REEDLE™ technology—tiny, micro-needle shaped ingredients—to gently create pathways in the skin. This helps potent brightening ingredients like Vitamin C, Niacinamide, and Glutathione absorb more effectively to target uneven tone, post-acne marks (PIH), and sun spots. Expect a mild, temporary tingling sensation as the reedles get to work.

1. Cleanser — Wash your face thoroughly. Best used in the evening.
2. THIS PRODUCT — Use the provided mini tweezer to pull out one mask. Apply to face for 10-20 minutes.
3. Moisturiser — After removing the mask, pat in the remaining essence and seal with a light moisturiser.

Note: Already own a similar brightening serum? You can use this mask on alternate nights or finish your current product first to avoid waste.

• Minimalist (3 steps): 1) Double-Cleanse (if wearing makeup/sunscreen) → 2) THIS PRODUCT (VITA-LIGHT MASK) → 3) Moisturiser (to seal in the essence).
• Optional Additions: You can apply a hydrating toner before the mask if your skin is very dry. An eye cream can be used after patting in the mask essence.
• Texture Rule: This mask replaces your main treatment/serum step for the night. Apply it to a clean face.

• Amount: One sheet mask per session.
• Apply to: Clean, dry face. Unfold the mask and fit it to your facial contours.
• Method:
  1. After cleansing, open the lid and protective cap.
  2. Use the mini tweezer included to hygienically pull out a single sheet mask.
  3. Apply the mask to your face and relax for 10-20 minutes.
  4. Remove the mask and gently pat the remaining essence into the skin until absorbed. Do not rinse.
• Frequency: Designed for daily use as part of an intensive 30-day brightening routine. Can also be used 2-3 times per week for maintenance.

If-This / Then-That:

• Feeling a Tingle? A mild, prickling sensation is normal and expected from the CICA REEDLE™ technology. It means the product is working to enhance absorption.
• Very Sensitive Skin? Start by using it once every 2-3 days to see how your skin adapts to the sensation before moving to daily use.
• Want Extra Soothing? Store the tub in the refrigerator for a cooling, de-puffing effect, perfect for Mauritius's warm evenings.

Watchouts: Do not use with skincare devices like LED masks or immediately after professional dermatological procedures, as this may increase irritation. Avoid using on broken or wounded skin.

• As an Intensive 30-Day Treatment: Use one mask every night for 30 days as your primary brightening step.
• For General Maintenance: Use 2-4 times per week on nights you are not using other strong actives.
• Example Week (Maintenance):
  • Mon: THIS PRODUCT
  • Tue: Hydration/Soothing Night (no strong actives)
  • Wed: THIS PRODUCT
  • Thu: Hydration/Soothing Night
  • Fri: THIS PRODUCT
  • Sat: Retinoid or other Exfoliant (if in your routine)
  • Sun: Hydration/Soothing Night
• Rule: While the actives in this mask are gentle, it's best to avoid using it on the same night as high-strength retinoids or chemical peels, especially when first starting, to prevent over-stimulation.

• Immediate: Skin feels deeply hydrated, plump, and has a temporary radiant glow. You will likely feel a mild tingling during use.
• 2–4 Weeks: With consistent use, skin texture may appear smoother and more refined. Overall complexion looks brighter and less dull. Recent, lighter post-acne marks may begin to fade.
• 4–8+ Weeks: More noticeable improvement in skin tone evenness. Stubborn dark spots and sun spots may appear visibly lightened. Skin maintains a more consistent "glow." (Brand claim—no public dataset available for independent verification.)

• Why use a stabilized Vitamin C mask, not DIY lemon juice? Lemon juice is highly acidic (pH ~2) and unstable, which can cause chemical burns, disrupt your skin's protective barrier, and lead to more dark spots (phytophotodermatitis) when exposed to the sun. This mask uses scientifically stabilized forms of Vitamin C at an effective pH, delivering brightening benefits without the significant risk of irritation and sun-sensitivity.

• Works Well With:
  • Hydrating Toners & Essences: Applying a simple, hydrating toner before the mask can prep the skin for better absorption.
  • Gentle Moisturisers: Following up with a barrier-supporting moisturiser (containing ceramides or panthenol) helps lock in the mask's brightening essence.
  • Daily Sunscreen: Non-negotiable. Using sunscreen every morning is crucial to protect your progress and prevent new spots from forming.
• Use With Caution:
  • Retinoids (Retinol, Tretinoin): Avoid using this mask on the same night as high-strength retinoids to prevent potential over-stimulation and sensitivity. You can alternate nights.
  • High-Concentration Acids (AHA/BHA Peels): Do not use this mask immediately after a strong chemical peel. Give your skin a "rest" night with only soothing products in between.

• Oily / Combination Skin: Excellent. The essence is lightweight and non-greasy, providing hydration and brightening without feeling heavy.
• Normal Skin: Excellent. A great way to maintain a radiant complexion and prevent dullness.
• Dry Skin: Good. Provides a significant boost of hydration and brightening actives. Ensure you follow up with a nourishing moisturiser to seal everything in.
• Sensitive Skin: Use with caution. The CICA REEDLE™ technology creates a physical tingling sensation that may be too stimulating for highly reactive or barrier-compromised skin. A patch test is essential.

• Dullness & Lack of Radiance: Revives tired-looking skin for a healthy glow.
• Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH): Helps fade the dark marks left behind by acne.
• Sun Spots & Freckles: Assists in lightening hyperpigmentation caused by sun exposure.
• Uneven Skin Tone: Works to create a more uniform and clear complexion.
• Rough Skin Texture: The micro-stimulation and hydrating essence help to smooth and refine the skin's surface.

• Official Korean Name: 브이티 리들샷 비타-라이트 브라이트닝 마스크 (VT Reedle Shot Vita-Light Brightening Mask)
• Period After Opening (PAO): Use immediately after opening the main tub; recommended to finish within 2 months for optimal freshness.
• Date Markings: Look for "제조" (Jejo) for the manufacturing date and "까지" (Kkaji) for the expiration date.
• Country of Manufacture: South Korea

• Halal Status: Halal-Friendly*. A review of the ingredients shows no ethanol, alcohol denat., or non-permissible animal derivatives.

Key Actives Explained:

• CICA REEDLE™ (Silica): VT's patented technology. These are microscopic, needle-shaped particles derived from silica (a natural mineral) and infused with Centella Asiatica. They gently prickle the skin to create micro-channels, helping the other active ingredients in the essence penetrate deeper and work more effectively. The tingling is normal. The reedles naturally shed from the skin with dead cells over a couple of days.
• Niacinamide (1,000 ppm): Also known as Vitamin B3. A powerhouse ingredient that helps reduce the appearance of pores, controls sebum, strengthens the skin barrier, and most importantly, interrupts the process that causes dark spots, leading to a brighter, more even skin tone.
• Glutathione: A master antioxidant that helps fight oxidative stress from UV rays and pollution. It works to brighten the skin by helping to inhibit the enzyme that produces melanin (dark pigment).
• Ascorbic Acid (10 ppm) & Tocopherol (10 ppm): Pure Vitamin C and Vitamin E. This classic antioxidant duo works together to protect the skin from environmental damage, brighten the complexion, and support overall skin health.
• Centella Asiatica Extract & Madecassoside: Infused into the CICA REEDLE™ and also present in the essence, these components of the "Cica" plant are famous for their soothing and healing properties, helping to calm any potential irritation from the micro-stimulation.

• Fragrance Status: Formulated without added artificial fragrance ('Parfum'). The scent is a very mild, fresh, and slightly herbal aroma derived from its botanical ingredients like Turmeric and Spearmint Extract. Scent intensity: 1/5.
• EU Allergens: None of the 26 declarable EU allergens are listed in the official ingredient list.

• Who Should Use With Caution: This product is not recommended for those with highly sensitive, reactive skin, or a compromised skin barrier due to the physical stimulation of the CICA REEDLE™ technology. Avoid use if you have active eczema, open wounds, or inflamed acne on the area of application.
• The Tingling Sensation: A prickling or tingling feeling upon application and when you touch your face afterward is normal and indicates the reedles are active. This is not an allergic reaction. However, if you experience intense burning, itching, or a persistent red rash, discontinue use.
• Patch Test Protocol (Mandatory for this product):
  1. Apply a small amount of the essence from one mask to a discreet area, like your jawline or behind the ear.
  2. Note the tingling sensation. It should be tolerable.
  3. Wait 24 hours to check for any signs of a delayed reaction like a red, itchy rash.
  4. If your skin feels fine, you can proceed with a full-face application.
• Safety: Do not use with any exfoliating skincare devices. Avoid using immediately after receiving professional treatments like chemical peels, laser, or microneedling.

• Texture: A thin, soft sheet mask saturated in a watery, lightweight essence. Not drippy.
• Finish: Leaves skin feeling deeply hydrated, plump, and with a radiant, dewy glow. The essence absorbs well without significant stickiness.
• Sensation on Skin: You will feel a distinct but manageable tingling or prickling sensation during and after application, which is the signature of the Reedle Shot line.
• pH: Not published by the brand, but likely formulated in the mildly acidic range (pH 5.0-6.5) to be compatible with the skin barrier.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Contains Hydrogenated Polydecene and Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate, which can be potential triggers for some individuals. A patch test is advised if you are prone to fungal acne.

• "The tingling is too intense!" → This is subjective, but if it's uncomfortable, reduce the wear time to 5-10 minutes. Also, ensure your skin barrier is healthy before use. Avoid applying after harsh cleansing or exfoliation.
• "My skin feels a bit sticky afterward." → You might be leaving it on for too long, or your skin may not need all the essence. Gently pat in what remains, and if there's still a tacky film, you can lightly tissue off the excess before applying your moisturiser.
• "I'm not seeing results after a week." → Brightening is a marathon, not a sprint. Fading hyperpigmentation takes at least one full skin cycle (about 4 weeks) to show noticeable change. Consistency is key. Ensure you are also wearing sunscreen daily, as sun exposure will reverse your progress.

This mask is exceptionally well-suited for the Mauritian climate.

• Humid Summers: The lightweight, watery essence provides hydration without feeling heavy or greasy in the humidity. Storing the tub in the fridge provides a refreshing, cooling treatment after a hot day, helping to calm heat-induced redness.
• Drier Winters / AC Exposure: The hydrating formula helps combat the surface dehydration that can occur from indoor air-conditioning, keeping skin plump and balanced.
• Sun Exposure: As a nation with high UV exposure, concerns like sun spots and uneven tone are common. The potent brightening actives (Niacinamide, Vitamin C, Glutathione) in this mask directly target this primary local concern.

• Sourcing: At Adilsons, we source our products directly from the brand or their authorised distributors in South Korea. We guarantee 100% authenticity.

  • Niacinamide: Independent studies have shown its ability to inhibit melanosome transfer, effectively reducing the appearance of hyperpigmentation.

This daily mask pack is an excellent choice for an intensive, convenient brightening routine, especially if you want to enhance product absorption. However, consider these alternatives from our catalog if your needs are different:

• For Very Sensitive Skin (Gentler Soothing): Anua HEARTLEAF 77% SOOTHING SHEET MASK (25ML*1EA) — Choose this if your primary concern is calming redness and irritation, and you find the tingling of the Reedle Shot too intense. Why: It focuses purely on soothing with a high concentration of Heartleaf extract without the physical stimulation.
• For a Focus on Glutathione (Potent Antioxidant): SOME BY MI REAL GLUTATHIONE BRIGHTENING CARE MASK 20G — Choose this if you want to specifically leverage the powerful antioxidant and brightening effects of Glutathione. Why: This mask makes Glutathione the star ingredient for a targeted approach to achieving a luminous complexion.
• For a Quicker, Daily Pad Format: NUMBUZIN NO.5 VITAMIN-NIACINAMIDE CONCENTRATED PAD (70EA)180ML — Choose this if you prefer the speed and convenience of a daily toning pad over a 15-minute sheet mask. Why: It delivers a potent blend of vitamins and niacinamide in a quick swipe, serving a similar daily brightening purpose in a different format.

Mindful Use: If you already have a brightening serum or a pack of sheet masks at home, we encourage you to finish them first. This helps you gauge their effectiveness fairly and reduces waste.

• Format: A sturdy plastic tub containing 30 stacked sheet masks, sealed for freshness.
• Applicator: Comes with a small, reusable plastic tweezer to allow for hygienic, one-by-one retrieval of each mask.
• Sustainability: The bulk packaging reduces individual plastic wrapper waste compared to 30 single-packed masks. Please rinse and recycle the tub and lid where local facilities permit.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. For an enhanced cooling and soothing effect, you can store the entire tub in the refrigerator. Ensure the lid is tightly closed to prevent the essence from drying out.

Note: The Reedle Shot line is known for its unique tingling sensation. Most user feedback revolves around this and its effect on absorption. Experiences are anecdotal.

• "I don't think it does much on its own, but boosts effects of other serums by helping them absorb better. Def stings, but my skin got used to it." - Paraphrased from a Reddit review (2025-01). The user feels the main benefit is enhancing the products used afterward.
• "When i use the reedle shot 100 or 300 and then use a vitamin c toner at night...the next morning my skin is glowing and brightened." - Reddit, r/AsianBeauty (2024-07). This user sees the best results when pairing the Reedle Shot with other brightening actives like Vitamin C.
• "This is a great mask to use the day before a special event and leaves the skin really calm, hydrated, and brightened, and the effect lasts for several days." - iHerb customer review (2024-11). This user notes immediate and lasting brightening and hydrating effects from a similar Vita-Light 3-step mask.
• Fair Caveat: "I've been using 300 twice/week, I haven't noticed any dramatic differences." - Reddit, r/AsianBeauty (2025-01). As with any product, results vary. For some users, the effects may be subtle or take longer to become apparent, and consistency with daily sunscreen is key to seeing brightening results.

Is the tingling from the Reedle Shot harmful?

No, the mild, prickling sensation is an intended part of the product's mechanism. It is caused by the microscopic CICA REEDLE™ stimulating the skin to enhance absorption. It should be tolerable and temporary. If you experience severe pain, a burning rash, or swelling, discontinue use as this may indicate an allergic reaction.

Can I use this every day?

Yes, this 30-pack is designed for daily use as an intensive one-month treatment. However, if you have sensitive skin, it's best to start with 2-3 times per week and build up your tolerance.

Will this mask bleach my skin?

No. The "brightening" effect refers to fading hyperpigmentation like sun spots and acne marks to create a more even and radiant skin tone. It does not change your natural skin colour.

Do I need to use other serums with this mask?

On the nights you use this mask, it effectively replaces your treatment/serum step. You do not need to apply another brightening or exfoliating serum on the same night.

• Best For: Individuals looking to target dullness, uneven skin tone, and hyperpigmentation with an intensive, convenient daily treatment.
