For those familiar with active skincare, tackling stubborn texture or feeling like your products have stopped working can be a frustrating plateau. The VT Reedle Shot 300 is an innovative, at-home treatment designed to break through that barrier, using micro-spicule technology to create pathways for your existing skincare to absorb deeper and work more effectively.

• Product Type: Absorption-Boosting Essence / Serum
• Key Feature: CICA REEDLE™ technology (micro-spicules from hydrolyzed marine sponge) to gently stimulate the skin and create micro-channels for enhanced product penetration.
• Who It's For: Intermediate to advanced skincare users with resilient skin who want to improve texture, boost the efficacy of their current routine, and address concerns like enlarged pores or dullness.
• What to Expect: A temporary, normal tingling or prickly sensation upon application. With consistent use, skin feels smoother and other skincare products absorb more effectively. This is NOT for beginners to active ingredients or for highly sensitive skin.

Use this product only in your evening routine, every 3 days to start.

1. Cleanser — Wash your face thoroughly and pat completely dry.
2. VT Reedle Shot 300 — Apply an appropriate amount to your bare face, gently pressing and massaging it in.
3. Hydrating Serum / Moisturiser — After the Reedle Shot has absorbed, follow with a soothing and hydrating serum or cream to calm and moisturize the skin.

Note: Already own a similar step? The Reedle Shot acts as a booster. Use it before your existing treatment serums to enhance their effect, but do not combine it with other exfoliants on the same night.

The Reedle Shot 300 is a dedicated PM treatment to be used on clean, dry skin. Do not use it every night.

• Minimalist Routine (Every 3 Nights):
  1. Cleanser: Double-cleanse if wearing makeup or water-resistant SPF.
  2. VT Reedle Shot 300: Apply to a completely dry face. Gently press into the skin rather than rubbing.
  3. Moisturiser: Follow with a calming, barrier-supporting moisturiser to soothe and hydrate.
• Optional Addition:
  • Hydrating Serum: After the Reedle Shot has fully absorbed, you can apply a gentle, hydrating serum (like one with Hyaluronic Acid or Snail Mucin) before your moisturiser for extra comfort.

Texture Rule: The Reedle Shot is always the first leave-on product after cleansing in the evening.

• Frequency: Use once every 3 days, only at night. As your skin adapts, you may be able to increase the frequency, but do not use it with other Reedle Shot products (100, 700) on the same day.
• Amount: 1-2 pumps are sufficient for the entire face.
• Apply to: A clean and completely dry face and neck. Avoid the immediate eye and lip area.
• Method: Dispense onto your hand and apply evenly. Instead of rubbing, use your palms to gently press the product into the skin. This helps the micro-needles work effectively. A tingling sensation is normal.
• Wait Time: Allow it to absorb for a few minutes before applying your next skincare step (e.g., a soothing serum or moisturiser).

If-This / Then-That:

• If tingling feels intense: Start with a smaller amount or use it as a spot treatment on areas of concern (like enlarged pores) before applying it to the full face.
• If your skin feels dry after: This is possible as it enhances absorption. Always follow up with a rich, soothing moisturiser.
• If you use Retinoids or Acids (AHA/BHA): Do NOT use them on the same night as Reedle Shot. Alternate nights to avoid over-exfoliation and irritation.

Safety: Do not use on broken, wounded, or inflamed skin. Do not use with any skincare devices (e.g., LED masks, microcurrent tools) as this can cause severe irritation. Always patch test on your arm or jawline before first use.

The key to using Reedle Shot 300 safely is to give your skin recovery days. Do not combine it with other strong actives in the same PM routine.

Example Week (PM Focus):

• Monday: VT Reedle Shot 300 Night
• Tuesday: Soothing/Hydrating Night (no strong actives)
• Wednesday: Soothing/Hydrating Night (or Retinoid/Exfoliant night, if in your routine)
• Thursday: VT Reedle Shot 300 Night
• Friday: Soothing/Hydrating Night
• Saturday: Soothing/Hydrating Night (or Retinoid/Exfoliant night)
• Sunday: Soothing/Hydrating Night

Rules of Alternating:

• One strong active per night. Reedle Shot is considered a strong active.
• On nights you use Reedle Shot, your follow-up steps should be focused purely on hydration and barrier support (e.g., hyaluronic acid, ceramides, centella, panthenol).
• Always use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30+ the morning after using Reedle Shot.

• Immediately: Upon application, you will feel a distinct tingling, prickly sensation as the CICA REEDLE™ spicules create micro-channels in the skin. This is a normal and intended effect. Some mild, temporary redness may occur.
• The Next Morning: Many users report that their skin feels noticeably smoother and softer after the very first use.
• 2–4 Weeks: With consistent use (every 3 days), you may notice that your other skincare products seem to work better. Skin texture appears more refined, and the appearance of pores may be diminished.
• 4–8+ Weeks: Long-term benefits include a more even skin tone, improved skin elasticity, and a visible reduction in textural irregularities as the skin's natural turnover cycle is supported.

Why use VT Reedle Shot, not a harsh physical scrub or DIY microneedling tool?

• Safety & Precision: Harsh scrubs with large, irregular particles (like sugar or nut shells) can create micro-tears in the skin, leading to irritation and a damaged barrier. At-home rolling microneedling tools carry a high risk of infection and can damage skin if used improperly. The CICA REEDLE™ spicules are uniform, sterile, and designed to gently stimulate the top layer of skin without causing tearing or deep injury.
• Targeted Delivery: The purpose of the Reedle Shot is to enhance the absorption of your other products. Physical scrubs only remove surface cells. The micro-spicules create pathways for your expensive serums and ampoules to penetrate deeper, making your entire routine more effective. The spicules naturally shed with your skin's turnover process over about 72 hours.

• Works Well With: Soothing and hydrating ingredients are perfect partners. After applying Reedle Shot, layer on products with Hyaluronic Acid, Centella Asiatica, Panthenol, Ceramides, Peptides, or Snail Mucin to calm, hydrate, and support skin repair.
• Use With Caution: Niacinamide. While beneficial, applying a high-concentration Niacinamide serum immediately after Reedle Shot might increase the tingling sensation for some individuals. If you experience this, use your Niacinamide product on alternate nights.
• Avoid Using on the Same Night: To prevent irritation and over-stimulation, do not use Reedle Shot in the same routine as:
  • Vitamin C (especially L-Ascorbic Acid)
  • Retinoids (Retinol, Retinal, Tretinoin)
  • Chemical Exfoliants (AHA, BHA, PHA)
  • Physical Scrubs or Peeling Gels
  • Skincare Devices (LED Masks, Microcurrent, Cleansing Brushes)

• Ideal For: Oily, Combination, and Normal skin types that are not sensitive and are accustomed to active ingredients. Excellent for those looking to address texture, visible pores, and improve the efficacy of their skincare routine.
• Use With Caution: Dry skin types may find it slightly drying and must follow up with rich, hydrating products.
• Not Recommended For: Highly sensitive skin, rosacea-prone skin, or skin with a compromised barrier. Do not use on active, inflamed acne, open wounds, or irritated areas like eczema or dermatitis.

• Poor absorption of skincare products
• Rough, uneven skin texture
• Dullness and lack of radiance
• Enlarged or visible pores
• Early signs of fine lines

Key Actives Explained:

• CICA REEDLE™ (Hydrolyzed Sponge): The core technology. These are microscopic, needle-shaped spicules derived from a marine sponge. They physically create micro-channels in the outermost layer of the skin to boost the absorption of other ingredients. They are naturally shed with skin cells over approximately 3 days.
• Centella Asiatica Extract & 4X Complex (Madecassoside, Asiaticoside, Madecassic Acid, Asiatic Acid): A powerhouse soothing and repairing complex. It calms irritation and redness that may be caused by the physical stimulation of the reedles and supports skin barrier health.
• Niacinamide: A multi-benefit ingredient that helps brighten skin tone, improve the appearance of pores, and reinforce the skin barrier.
• Adenosine: A cell-communicating ingredient known for its ability to energize the skin's surface, helping to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
• Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid): A powerful humectant that draws moisture into the skin, providing deep hydration and a plumping effect.

• Fragrance Status: Fragrance-Free. This product does not contain added artificial fragrances or essential oils.
• EU Allergens: None declared by the brand based on the provided INCI list.
• Potential Irritants: The primary source of sensation is the physical stimulation from the Hydrolyzed Sponge (spicules). Individuals with sensitivities to botanical extracts or macadamia nut oil should patch test.

Who should use this: Adults with resilient skin accustomed to active ingredients.

Who should use with caution:

• Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: The brand states their products are generally safe, but recommends consulting a doctor before use during pregnancy. There is insufficient published data on the use of topical micro-spicules during pregnancy.
• Highly Sensitive Skin: If your skin is easily irritated, this product is likely not for you. Start with the milder 'Reedle Shot 50' or '100' if you wish to try the technology.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a small amount of the product to a discreet area, such as behind the ear or on the inner arm.
2. A tingling sensation is expected. Wait 24 hours to observe for signs of a negative reaction, such as a persistent burning sensation, rash, or excessive redness.
3. If no adverse reaction occurs, it is likely safe to proceed with facial application.

If Irritation Occurs: Discontinue use immediately. Soothe the area with a simple, fragrance-free barrier cream. If irritation persists, seek advice from a professional.

• Texture & Finish: A lightweight, watery gel-essence that absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving a greasy or sticky residue.
• Scent: The product is fragrance-free and has a neutral, barely-there scent.
• Sensation: The most notable sensory aspect is the tingling, prickly feeling upon application, which is the intended effect of the micro-spicules. This sensation typically subsides after a few minutes but may be felt again when other products are layered on top.
• 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. Patch testing is advised for those with this concern. Individual responses may vary.

• Issue: The tingling is too strong.

  Solution: You may be using too much product, applying it too aggressively, or your skin is not ready for this strength. Reduce the amount to one pump, gently press it into the skin instead of rubbing, and ensure you are only using it once every 3 days. If it's still too intense, consider starting with the Reedle Shot 100 to build tolerance.

• Issue: My skin feels dry or tight after use.

  Solution: This is a sign that your skin is absorbing subsequent products more rapidly. It's crucial to follow up with a robust hydrating and soothing routine. Apply a generous layer of a calming serum and a barrier-repair cream after the Reedle Shot has absorbed.

• Issue: I'm not seeing results after 8 weeks.

  Solution: The Reedle Shot is a delivery system enhancer, not a standalone treatment. Its primary role is to make your *other* products work better. Ensure you are using it consistently and pairing it with effective, targeted serums (for brightening, anti-aging, etc.) in your routine on the following days.

• Humid Summers: The lightweight, non-greasy texture of this essence is perfectly suited for Mauritius's humid climate. It absorbs without adding heaviness. However, as it is a stimulating product, always use it at night and be extra diligent with sunscreen the next day, as skin may be more sensitive to our strong sun.
• Drier/Cooler Winters: During cooler, drier periods or if you spend a lot of time in air-conditioning, you may find your skin feels tighter after use. This is a good time to pair it with a richer, more nourishing cream to lock in hydration and support your skin barrier.

This absorption-boosting essence is an excellent choice if your primary concerns are rough texture, clogged pores, and enhancing the performance of your current skincare.

• For a Gentler Approach: VT Reedle Shot 100 — Choose this if you are new to micro-spicule technology or have skin that leans sensitive. It's designed for daily use to gently introduce the skin-boosting effect.
• For Maximum Intensity: VT Reedle Shot 700 — Choose this only if you are an experienced user of the Reedle Shot line and your skin has fully adapted to the 300 strength. It offers the most intensive treatment for targeting deep textural concerns and is used only once a week.
• For Classic Chemical Exfoliation: COSRX BHA Blackhead Power Liquid — Choose this if you prefer a traditional, leave-on chemical exfoliant to specifically target blackheads and clogged pores without the physical tingling sensation.
• For Barrier Repair & Soothing: SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Probio-Cica Intensive Ampoule — Choose this if your main goal is to calm irritation and repair a compromised skin barrier. This ampoule focuses on healing and strengthening, whereas the Reedle Shot focuses on stimulation and absorption.

Mindful Use: If you already have a powerful exfoliating product at home that you love, finish it first. The Reedle Shot is a unique addition, but effective skincare is about consistency, not collecting products.

• Format & Size: 50ml glass bottle with a hygienic pump applicator that dispenses a controlled amount of product.
• Hygiene & Stability: The pump system prevents air and bacteria from contaminating the product, ensuring its stability.
• Recycling (Mauritius): The glass bottle is recyclable. Please rinse it and dispose of it with your glass recycling. The plastic pump can be disposed of in your regular trash.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the active ingredients.

Aggregated sentiment from online communities like Reddit's r/AsianBeauty. Experiences are individual and not guaranteed.

"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."

"I used the 300 twice a week... My skin did feel smoother overall. It doesn't give dramatic results [on its own]. The most I noticed was a slight improvement in skin texture."

A user with dry skin noted that after application, their skin "felt drier than usual," reinforcing the need to follow up with a good moisturiser. They also noted the prickly sensation was "bearable" with no redness or itchiness.

Fair Caveat: Some users with sensitive skin or who are new to the product find the tingling sensation too intense and prefer to start with the lower-strength versions (50 or 100). A few have also noted that if proper care is not taken, the spicules can get into the eye area and cause irritation.

VT Cosmetics began with a focus on dermatological science, aiming to create effective and safe solutions for various skin concerns. They are globally recognized for their innovative use of Centella Asiatica (CICA) in their formulations. The brand is dedicated to combining natural ingredients with cutting-edge technology, like their patented CICA REEDLE™ delivery system, to offer advanced and effective skincare for the modern consumer.

CICA REEDLE™

A patented cosmetic ingredient composed of microscopic, needle-shaped spicules from hydrolyzed marine sponge, coated with Centella Asiatica to aid in soothing and delivery.

Spicules

The tiny, needle-like mineral structures that make up the skeleton of a marine sponge. In this product, they are purified and used to create temporary micro-pathways in the skin.

Centella Asiatica (CICA)

A medicinal herb known for its powerful soothing, calming, and skin-repairing properties. Often called "Tiger Grass."

MFDS

The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety in South Korea, the regulatory body that oversees functional cosmetics claims (e.g., for brightening or wrinkle improvement).

Adenosine

An MFDS-approved functional ingredient for "wrinkle-improvement." It helps to energize the skin's surface, making it look smoother and feel more supple.

Does the Reedle Shot hurt?
It shouldn't hurt, but it does cause a unique tingling or prickly sensation that is normal and expected. It feels like tiny needles on the skin. If you experience painful burning or a rash, stop use.

What is the difference between Reedle Shot 100, 300, and 700?
The numbers refer to the concentration of CICA REEDLE™ spicules. 100 is for daily use and beginners. 300 is for intermediate users (every 3 days) for more intensive care. 700 is the highest strength for experienced users (once a week) to target specific, stubborn concerns.

Can I use this with my retinol or AHA/BHA serum?
No, do not use them on the same night. The combined stimulation can lead to severe irritation. Alternate your Reedle Shot with other strong actives on different nights.

Do the needles stay in my skin?
The spicules lodge in the top layer of the skin (stratum corneum) and are naturally expelled along with dead skin cells during the normal skin turnover cycle, typically within 72 hours.
