Struggling with clogged pores and the feeling that your expensive serums aren't working as well as they should? This innovative gel cleanser goes beyond a surface-level wash. It uses VT's unique CICA REEDLE™ technology to provide a micro-stimulating cleanse that clears pores of impurities and dead skin cells, prepping your skin to better absorb the active ingredients in your routine that follows. It’s the ultimate synergy boost for your entire skincare regimen.

• Skin Type: Suitable for all skin types, especially oily, combination, and acne-prone skin.
• Key Benefits: Deeply cleanses pores, removes dead skin cells, and enhances the absorption and effectiveness of subsequent skincare products.
• Texture & Scent: A clear, lightweight gel that lathers into a soft foam. Features a mild, refreshing tea tree scent.
• What to Expect: Skin feels thoroughly cleansed, smooth, and refreshed without tightness. With consistent use, skin appears clearer and other products in your routine may show better results. A slight, temporary tingling sensation is normal.

1. Cleanser: [THIS PRODUCT] — See amount in “How to Use”.
2. Hydrator (Optional): Apply a soothing toner or a VT Reedle Shot serum to damp skin.
3. Sunscreen (AM) / Moisturiser (PM): Seal in hydration and protect your skin.

Note: Already own a similar step? Finish that first to avoid waste (substitute, don’t stack).

Minimalist (3-4 steps):

1. [THIS PRODUCT]
2. Hydrating Toner/Essence (optional; adds slip)
3. Targeted Serum (e.g., Vitamin C, Niacinamide)
4. Sunscreen SPF 30+

Wait times: Allow 30-60 seconds between watery layers, and 1-2 minutes before applying sunscreen to prevent pilling.

Minimalist (3-4 steps):

1. Double Cleanse (if wearing makeup/sunscreen): Start with an oil cleanser to dissolve impurities, then follow with [THIS PRODUCT] as your second cleanse.
2. Targeted Treatment: Apply your chosen serum or ampoule (e.g., VT Reedle Shot, Retinol, or a hydrating serum).
3. Moisturiser: Lock in hydration with a cream or lotion suitable for your skin type.

Texture rule: Always apply products from the thinnest consistency to the thickest.

Daily Use — AM/PM:

• Amount: A pea-sized amount.
• Method: Lather a small amount with wet hands to create a soft foam. Gently massage onto your face in circular motions, avoiding the immediate eye area. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
• Frequency: Use once or twice daily. If using as part of a double-cleanse routine in the evening, this is your second step.

If-This / Then-That:

• If you wear waterproof makeup: Use an oil-based cleanser first to melt everything away, then use this gel cleanser to ensure a perfectly clean canvas.
• If you have sensitive skin: The mild tingling from the CICA REEDLE™ is normal. However, if you experience a burning rash, discontinue use. Always patch test first.
• If you are a contact lens wearer: Ensure you remove your lenses before cleansing to avoid any irritation.

Safety: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Do not use on broken or irritated skin. Discontinue use if a persistent rash or irritation occurs. Teens should build a routine around the basics: cleanser–moisturiser–SPF.

• Why this, not that: Choose a pH-balanced, emulsifying gel cleanser like this one instead of harsh soaps, DIY scrubs (like sugar or baking soda), or makeup wipes used as a primary cleanse. Harsh methods can strip your skin's protective barrier, leading to irritation, dryness, and even more breakouts. This cleanser effectively removes impurities while respecting your skin's natural balance.

• Works With: This cleanser is designed to be the preparatory step for all other skincare. It works excellently with any active ingredient, including VT's Reedle Shot serums, retinoids, Vitamin C, AHAs, BHAs, and hydrating serums, by clearing the path for better absorption.
• Use Carefully: While compatible with all actives, be mindful not to over-exfoliate. If you use this cleanser, you may not need an additional harsh physical scrub in the same routine.
• Avoid On: Do not use on broken, wounded, or eczema-affected skin. Avoid direct contact with the eyes.

• Oily / Combination Skin: Excellent. Deeply cleanses pores and removes excess sebum without causing the tightness that can trigger rebound oiliness.
• Acne-Prone Skin: Highly recommended. The formula helps clear out impurities and dead skin cells that contribute to breakouts.
• Normal Skin: Great for maintaining clear skin and boosting the effectiveness of your routine.
• Dry / Sensitive Skin: Use with attention. The formula is skin-irritation tested and has a skin-friendly pH, but the micro-stimulation from the CICA REEDLE™ may feel intense if your barrier is compromised. Always follow with ample hydration.

Key Actives Explained:

• CICA REEDLE™: An innovative, patented ingredient made of microscopic, mineral-derived silica spicules (needles). These spicules create tiny, temporary channels in the top layer of the skin, gently exfoliating and significantly boosting the absorption of other skincare ingredients applied afterward.
• Centella Asiatica Extract: A renowned soothing ingredient that helps calm inflammation, reduce redness, and support skin barrier health. It is infused into the CICA REEDLE™ to ensure the micro-stimulation process is gentle and calming.
• Tea Tree Leaf Extract & Green Tea Water: Provide additional soothing and purifying benefits, helping to manage excess oil and calm blemish-prone skin.
• Hyaluronic Acid (Triple): A powerful humectant that draws moisture into the skin, ensuring the cleansing process leaves the skin hydrated and plump, not stripped and tight.

Full INCI List:

• Fragrance Status: Contains Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil, which gives it a natural, fresh, and slightly medicinal scent. No synthetic fragrances are listed.
• Scent Intensity: 1-2/5 (Very mild and dissipates quickly).
• EU Allergens: Based on the INCI, this product is formulated without declared EU allergens. However, a patch test is always advised for reactive skin.

Who should use with caution:

• Individuals with highly sensitive skin or a compromised skin barrier should introduce this product carefully due to the micro-stimulating effect of the CICA REEDLE™ technology.
• Avoid use after dermatological procedures, on active eczema, or on broken skin.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a pea-sized amount of the gel to a small, clean area of skin, such as behind the ear or on the jawline.
2. Gently massage and rinse as you would on your face.
3. Wait 24-48 hours to observe for any signs of irritation like redness, itching, or a burning rash. Re-check at 72 hours.
4. If no irritation occurs, the product is likely safe for you to use on your face. Discontinue use immediately if a reaction occurs.

• Texture/Finish: A transparent, smooth gel that creates a light, soft foam when mixed with water. It rinses off cleanly, leaving skin feeling refreshed and soft, not tight or stripped.
• Scent: A subtle, natural tea tree aroma that is clean and herbaceous.
• pH: Approximately 5.5, which is slightly acidic and aligns with the skin's natural pH. This helps to maintain a healthy skin barrier during cleansing.
• FA/Comedogenicity: The formula is oil-free and does not contain common triggers for Fungal Acne (Malassezia Folliculitis). It is also non-comedogenic. However, individual responses can vary.

• Issue: My skin tingles when I use it.
  Quick Fix: A mild, prickly sensation is a normal and intended effect of the CICA REEDLE™ technology as it creates micro-channels. It should subside quickly. However, if the sensation is a painful burn or is accompanied by a persistent rash, stop using the product.
• Issue: My skin feels a bit dry after cleansing.
  Quick Fix: While formulated to be non-stripping, ensure you are not using water that is too hot. Immediately follow up with a hydrating toner or serum on damp skin to lock in moisture.
• Issue: I don't see better results from my other products.
  Quick Fix: Ensure you are using the cleanser consistently (once or twice daily) and are following up with your active serums while the skin is prepped and receptive. Results from enhanced absorption will be seen over several weeks of consistent use.

• Humid Summer: This cleanser is an excellent choice for Mauritius's hot and humid climate. It effectively removes sweat, excess sebum, and sunscreen without stripping the skin, helping to prevent the clogged pores and breakouts common in humid weather.
• Drier Winter/AC Exposure: Its gentle, low-pH formula ensures it will not exacerbate dryness when the air is less humid or when you spend time in air-conditioned environments. Following up with a good hydrator is still key.

"I can tell by the smell they're using the same high quality ingredients as the Reedle Shot serum. I use it as the morning cleanser as it's very gentle and keeps the skin moisturized."

– iHerb customer review (2025-02)

"Very nice cleanser, you can actually feel the reedle shots while you clean your face. Nice scent, good quality, size is ok."

– iHerb customer review (2025-07)

A user on Reddit noted that while they enjoyed the tingling sensation of the Reedle Shot line, they found it didn't dramatically improve their skin on its own but worked best at boosting the effects of other serums by helping them absorb better.

– Reddit, r/AsianBeauty (paraphrased, 2025-01)

Fair Caveat: "Bought because of the hype! It's just an average face wash, I don't see any difference or actually I did not expect anything miracle will happen on my face. Flavor is okay, size is big, quality is okay."

VT Cosmetics is a popular South Korean brand that champions the idea of combining innovative dermatological science with natural, high-quality ingredients. They are particularly famous for their extensive use of Centella Asiatica (CICA) in their patented CICALIAO™ and CICAHYALON™ complexes. With their groundbreaking CICA REEDLE™ technology, VT Cosmetics aims to bring the effectiveness of aesthetic treatments into daily home skincare, focusing on enhancing ingredient delivery and promoting true skin health.

CICA REEDLE™

A patented VT Cosmetics ingredient consisting of microscopic, mineral-derived silica spicules (needles) infused with Centella Asiatica. It provides gentle physical stimulation to the skin to enhance the absorption of other active ingredients.

Centella Asiatica (CICA)

A medicinal herb known for its powerful soothing, anti-inflammatory, and wound-healing properties. It helps to calm irritated skin and strengthen the skin barrier.

pH (Potential of Hydrogen)

A scale used to specify the acidity or basicity of a solution. Healthy skin has a slightly acidic pH of around 5.5. A cleanser with a similar pH helps to clean the skin without disrupting its protective acid mantle.

MFDS

Will the 'reedles' in this cleanser hurt my skin?

No, it should not hurt. The CICA REEDLE™ technology is designed to provide a gentle micro-stimulation that may feel like a very mild, temporary tingle or prickling. This is a normal part of how the product works to enhance absorption. It is not a harsh or painful sensation.

Is this cleanser enough to remove all my makeup?

This gel cleanser is excellent for removing light makeup and daily impurities. However, for heavy, waterproof, or long-wearing makeup and sunscreen, we strongly recommend a double-cleanse routine. Start with an oil-based cleanser to dissolve makeup, and use this gel as your second, deep-cleansing step.

Can I use this cleanser if I use other strong actives like Retinol or Vitamin C?

Absolutely. In fact, this cleanser is specifically designed to be used with other active ingredients. By clearing the pores and creating micro-pathways, it helps your other serums and treatments penetrate more deeply and work more effectively.
