At-a-Glance (30s) (who it's for, what to expect)
Feeling like your skincare products just sit on the surface without delivering results? The VT Reedle Shot 100 is a unique at-home treatment that uses microscopic, mineral-derived "needles" to create pathways in the skin, allowing your other products to penetrate deeper and work more effectively.
- What it is: A watery essence with 95,000 CICA REEDLE™ micro-needles that enhance product absorption.
- What to expect: A distinct tingling or prickling sensation upon application is normal and indicates the product is working. Skin texture appears smoother and more refined with consistent use.
- Who it's for: Ideal for individuals with concerns about rough texture, enlarged pores, dullness, or poor skincare efficacy. Suitable for most skin types, but a patch test is essential for sensitive skin.
Quick Start (60-second routine) (essentials for beginners)
- Cleanser: Start with a clean face.
- VT Reedle Shot 100 (PM Only): Apply 1-2 pumps to your face. Gently press into the skin.
- Sunscreen (AM) / Moisturiser (PM): Always follow with a hydrating moisturiser at night to soothe and protect the skin. In the morning, sunscreen is non-negotiable.
Note: Already using a strong exfoliant (AHA, BHA, Retinol)? Use this product on alternate nights. Substitute, don’t stack strong actives.
AM Routine Guide (morning order) (how to use in the morning)
Important: The Reedle Shot 100 is recommended for PM use only to allow your skin to repair overnight and avoid sun sensitivity.
A supportive AM routine is crucial:
- Gentle Cleanser: Wash face with a mild, hydrating cleanser.
- Hydrating Toner/Serum: Apply a soothing, hydrating product to calm and prep the skin.
- Moisturiser: Use a barrier-supporting moisturiser.
- Sunscreen SPF 30+: This is the most critical step. The Reedle Shot exfoliates, making skin more vulnerable to sun damage.
PM Routine Guide (evening order) (recommended for starting)
Minimalist Routine:
- Cleanser: Double-cleanse to remove all traces of sunscreen, makeup, and impurities.
- VT Reedle Shot 100: Apply to a dry, clean face as the very first step.
- Moisturiser: Follow with a nourishing, barrier-repairing cream to soothe and hydrate.
Optional Additions:
- After the Reedle Shot has been applied, you can layer your other hydrating or targeted serums (like Hyaluronic Acid or Niacinamide) before your moisturiser to enhance their effects.
- Rule: Apply from thinnest to thickest texture.
How to Use (Beginner-friendly) (amount, frequency, and tips)
Daily Use — PM Only:
- Amount: 1-2 pumps for the entire face.
- Apply to: Freshly cleansed, dry skin. Avoid the immediate eye and lip area.
- Method: Dispense onto your hand and gently spread over the face. Use your palms to press the product into the skin with a rolling motion to aid absorption. Do not rub vigorously.
- Sensation: Expect a prickling or tingling feeling. This is normal and a sign the CICA REEDLEs™ are activating the skin. The sensation usually subsides after the next skincare step is applied.
- Frequency: Start by using every 2-3 nights. If your skin tolerates it well after a week or two, you can gradually increase to nightly use.
Dosage Quick-Table:
- Serum/Essence: 1–2 pumps.
If-This / Then-That:
- Very Sensitive Skin?: Patch test behind the ear or on the jawline for 24-48 hours. Consider starting with the Reedle Shot 50 if available.
- On Retinoids or Acids?: Alternate nights. Do not use Reedle Shot on the same night as other direct acids (AHA/BHA) or retinol to avoid over-exfoliation.
- Tingling is too strong?: Apply a smaller amount or layer it over a very lightweight hydrating toner to create a slight buffer.
Watchouts: A persistent prickly feeling when you touch your face is normal for a few hours. However, if you experience painful burning or a rash that doesn't subside, discontinue use.
Safety: Do not use on broken or irritated skin. Do not use with any skincare devices (e.g., LED masks, microcurrent tools). Always use sunscreen the following morning.
Weekly Planner (Example & Alternating Actives) (how to schedule use)
To safely incorporate Reedle Shot 100 and avoid irritation, alternate its use with other strong actives.
Example Week (PM Focus for Beginners):
- Monday: VT Reedle Shot 100
- Tuesday: Soothing Night (Hydrating toner, serum, and moisturiser only)
- Wednesday: Other Active (e.g., Retinol or AHA/BHA serum)
- Thursday: Soothing Night
- Friday: VT Reedle Shot 100
- Saturday: Soothing Night or Sleeping Pack
- Sunday: Other Active or Soothing Night
Rules:
- One strong active per night. Do not use Reedle Shot, retinoids, and strong acids on the same night.
- Always listen to your skin. If you feel irritated, take an extra "Soothing Night" and skip actives.
Mauritius Note: In our humid climate, your skin may be more resilient. However, the strong sun makes daily SPF even more critical when using exfoliating products like this.
What to Expect (Results Timeline) (immediate → 8+ weeks)
- Immediate: Upon application, you will feel a distinct tingling sensation. Your skin may look slightly flushed. The products you apply afterward will feel like they absorb more quickly and deeply.
- 2–4 Weeks: Skin texture begins to feel noticeably smoother to the touch. The appearance of pores, particularly on the nose and cheeks, may look more refined. Some users may experience a brief purging period as the product accelerates skin turnover.
- 4–8+ Weeks: With consistent use, you may see an improvement in overall skin radiance and a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and stubborn clogged pores. Skin feels firmer and looks more even-toned.
Evidence: Based on aggregated user reviews and brand-stated benefits. Individual results will vary. Consistency and sun protection are key.
Myth Replacement (Why this, not that) (safer, effective alternatives)
- Myth: "You need harsh, grainy physical scrubs to get smooth skin and unclog pores."
- Why this, not that: Harsh scrubs can cause micro-tears in the skin, leading to irritation, a damaged barrier, and even worsening post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). The VT Reedle Shot 100 offers a more advanced form of physical exfoliation. Its microscopic CICA REEDLEs™ gently create channels to promote skin turnover and enhance absorption from within, refining texture without the abrasive damage of traditional scrubs.
Compatibility Guide (layering) (what to pair it with)
-
Works Well With:
- Hydrating Ingredients: Hyaluronic Acid, Snail Mucin, Panthenol, and Beta-Glucan. Layering these after the Reedle Shot can enhance their hydrating and plumping effects.
- Soothing Ingredients: Centella Asiatica (Cica), Madecassoside, Propolis. Excellent to use in the same routine to calm any potential redness.
- Niacinamide: Generally safe to use after the Reedle Shot to help with pores, oil control, and brightening.
-
Use Carefully / Alternate Use:
- Retinoids (Retinol, Retinal): Use on alternate nights. Both accelerate cell turnover, and using them together can lead to over-exfoliation and irritation.
- Direct Acids (AHA, BHA, L-Ascorbic Acid Vitamin C): Use on alternate nights to avoid compromising your skin barrier.
-
Avoid On Area / Do Not Use With:
- Do not use on broken, wounded, or inflamed skin.
- Do not use with physical scrubs or exfoliating devices (like cleansing brushes or microdermabrasion tools).
- Do not use immediately after receiving professional treatments like chemical peels, laser, or clinical micro-needling. Wait for your skin to fully heal.
Skin Type Compatibility (best fits and cautions)
- Oily / Combination Skin: Excellent. Helps to refine pore appearance, smooth texture, and can enhance the absorption of oil-controlling or anti-blemish serums. Its lightweight texture will not feel heavy in humid weather.
- Normal Skin: Very suitable. A great way to boost the efficacy of a standard maintenance routine and achieve a smoother, more radiant complexion.
- Dry Skin: Can be used with caution. It can significantly boost the absorption of hydrating and moisturizing products, but it's crucial to follow up with rich, barrier-supporting creams. Start with a lower frequency.
- Sensitive Skin: Proceed with extreme caution. A patch test is non-negotiable. The tingling sensation may be too intense. It is highly recommended to start with the gentler Reedle Shot 50 if available.
Individual responses vary. Always patch test before first use.
Targeted Concerns (what it helps to solve)
- Rough, uneven skin texture
- Poor absorption of skincare products
- Enlarged or congested pores
- Dullness and lack of radiance

Complete Ingredient Transparency (key actives + full INCI)
Key Actives Explained:
- CICA REEDLE™ (Hydrolyzed Sponge): The core technology. These are microscopic, needle-shaped spicules derived from marine sponges. They physically create micro-channels in the outermost layer of the skin, promoting natural exfoliation and dramatically increasing the absorption of other active ingredients.
- Centella Asiatica Extract & 4X Complex (Asiaticoside, Madecassoside, Madecassic Acid, Asiatic Acid): A powerful soothing and repairing agent that calms the skin, reduces redness, and supports the skin barrier, helping to mitigate the stimulating effect of the reedles.
- Niacinamide: A versatile vitamin (B3) that brightens skin tone, fades dark spots, regulates sebum production, and strengthens the skin barrier.
- Adenosine: A cell-communicating ingredient that energizes the skin's surface, helping to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Triple Hyaluronic Acid: A blend of different sizes of Hyaluronic Acid to provide multi-level hydration, plumping the skin from within.
- Propolis Extract & Green Propolis Extract: Known for their antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties, helping to protect and calm the skin.

- Scent Intensity: 0/5. It has a very neutral, almost undetectable scent from its raw ingredients.
- EU Allergens: None declared by the brand based on the provided INCI list.
Full Safety & Patch Test Protocol (important precautions)
Due to the unique micro-needle technology, it is crucial to follow safety guidelines.
Who should use with caution:
- Highly Sensitive or Reactive Skin: The tingling sensation may be uncomfortable. A patch test is mandatory.
- Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: The brand states their products are safe for pregnancy. However, as a precaution, Adilsons recommends consulting with your doctor before using micro-needle products during this time due to a lack of independent data.
Patch Test Protocol:
- Apply a small amount (half a pump) to a discreet area, such as behind your ear or on your jawline.
- Note the tingling sensation. It should feel prickly but not painfully burning.
- Wait 24 hours. Check for any signs of excessive redness, rash, or irritation beyond the initial tingling.
- If your skin feels fine, you can proceed with using it on your face, starting with a low frequency (once every 3 days).
If Irritation Occurs: Discontinue use immediately. Soothe the area with a simple, fragrance-free moisturiser. If irritation persists, seek advice. Never use on broken, weeping, or infected skin.
Sensory & Chemical Profile (texture, feel, and formulation)
- Texture & Finish: A lightweight, watery gel-essence that absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving a greasy or sticky residue.
- Sensation on Skin: Creates a noticeable prickling or tingling feeling upon application and when touched afterwards, which is the intended effect of the micro-needles.
- pH: Not publicly disclosed 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 FA, patch test carefully on an affected area. Individual responses vary.
Troubleshooting Guide (fix common issues) (quick solutions)
-
Issue: The tingling is too intense.
- Quick Fix: You're likely using too much or your skin is sensitized. Reduce the amount to one pump and decrease the frequency to once a week. You can also apply it over a thin layer of a simple hydrating toner to buffer the effect slightly.
-
Issue: My skin feels red and warm after use.
- Quick Fix: A mild, temporary flush is normal due to the stimulation. Follow up immediately with a calming serum (containing Centella or Panthenol) and a barrier cream. The redness should subside within an hour. If it persists or worsens, stop using the product.
-
Issue: I'm not seeing results after 8 weeks.
- Quick Fix: Ensure you are using it consistently and applying sunscreen daily. The Reedle Shot enhances absorption; if the rest of your routine isn't targeting your concerns, results will be limited. It may also be time to consider a stronger version, like the Reedle Shot 300, if your skin has adapted well.
Climate Fit for Mauritius (local usage advice)
- Humid Summer: The lightweight, non-greasy texture of the Reedle Shot 100 is perfectly suited for Mauritius' humid conditions. It absorbs without adding heaviness, making it a comfortable treatment step. It can help other lightweight products, like gel moisturisers, work more effectively.
- Drier Winter / Air-Conditioned Environments: In less humid conditions or if you spend a lot of time in AC, the absorption-enhancing properties are a major benefit. It helps your hydrating serums and richer moisturisers penetrate better to combat dryness. Always follow with a good moisturiser to lock in hydration.

Evidence & Sources (the science behind the product) (brand vs independent data)

- Brand Test: VT Cosmetics has published clinical data stating that the Reedle Shot 100 improves pore size and count. Specifically, they claim a 31.25% reduction in vertical pore length and a 38.08% reduction in the number of visible pores over a 2-week period. This data is brand-published.

Why: It uses a gentle, effective form of retinoid to boost collagen and smooth fine lines without the physical sensation of micro-needles.
Mindful Use: If you already have a comparable exfoliating product at home that you enjoy, consider finishing it first to avoid waste and get a fair assessment of its results before switching.
Packaging, Sustainability & Practical Details (bottle, storage, and travel)

Genuine Community Experiences (unbiased, real-user feedback)
Aggregated sentiment from online skincare communities. Note: these are individual anecdotes and not clinical results.
- On Absorption & Texture: "I used the 100 pretty regularly... the main effect I got from using it regularly was increased skin plumpness and softness. I would only follow up with something gentle like a propolis serum or snail mucin, and perhaps that supposed increased penetration is what led to overall improvement for me." - Reddit, r/AsianBeauty (2024-06)
- On the Sensation: A user on Amazon notes, "The tingling sensation makes it feel like it's working," but cautions it "might be uncomfortable for sensitive skin." - Amazon Customer Review (2025-06)
- On Efficacy with Other Actives: "The biggest difference I have seen is from the products I use with it- especially vitamin c. When I use the reedle shot 100 or 300 and then use a vitamin c toner at night before bed, the next morning my skin is glowing and brightened." - Reddit, r/AsianBeauty (2024-06)
- A Fair Caveat: "It feels prickly, but I would say it's not to the point of feeling painful. It hurt the most the first few days of using it... I would avoid using it when my skin barrier is damaged." - Reddit, r/AsianBeauty (2024-06)

Frequently Asked Questions (your questions, answered)
- Is the tingling/prickling feeling normal?
- Yes, it is the intended sensation of the CICA REEDLEs™ creating micro-channels in your skin. It should feel stimulating, not painfully burning. The sensation typically subsides after you apply your next skincare product.
- Can I use this with my retinol or Vitamin C serum?
- It is strongly recommended to use them on alternate nights. Using multiple strong actives in the same routine can lead to over-exfoliation and a damaged skin barrier.
- How is this different from a physical scrub?
- A scrub uses large, irregular particles to abrasively remove dead skin from the surface, which can cause micro-tears. The Reedle Shot uses microscopic, uniform needles to work from within, promoting turnover and enhancing absorption without surface abrasion.
- Do the "needles" stay in my skin?
- The spicules are naturally shed from the skin along with dead skin cells over the course of about 72 hours as part of the natural skin turnover process.
