VT REEDLE SHOT FOOT PEELING MASK 16ML

100% Genuine (Adilsons policy). Fragrance-free: No, Fragrance is declared. Vegan: No, Propolis Extract is declared.

Pros: a mess-free sock format with no scrubbing or pumice. The acid blend is paired with Centella asiatica actives, Panthenol and Sodium Hyaluronate for comfort. Retailer reviews we found were overwhelmingly positive about visible peeling.

Caveats: the declared list contains Denatured Alcohol as the second ingredient and Fragrance. Acid percentages and pH are not publicly disclosed. Peeling is cosmetically messy for about a week, and sandals will show it.

Classification: RED for under 16. The formula carries three exfoliating acids (Glycolic, Lactic and Salicylic) plus Gluconolactone and Capryloyl Salicylic Acid, which accelerate shedding of the outer skin layer. Younger skin does not need this and is more likely to be irritated.

If a teenager has rough heels, gentle moisturizing with a foot cream such as 3W Clinic Enrich Foot Treatment is the age-appropriate route.

1. When: evening, once, on clean dry feet.
2. How much: one full pair of sock masks; do not add extra product.
3. How: cut along the top line, slip feet in, fasten the ankle sticker, wait about 60 minutes, then rinse with lukewarm water.

Introduce this as the ONLY new product in your routine. Wait a full 14 days before adding anything else. This isolation window ensures you can identify whether any reaction is caused by this specific product.

AM restriction: do not wear this mask in the morning. It needs 60 minutes of sitting still, and acids on the skin raise sun sensitivity for the following days.

On the mornings after your treatment, keep your normal face routine and add one foot step. Moisturize the soles and heels, and if you wear open sandals or go to the beach, put sunscreen on the tops of your feet, because newly exposed skin burns more easily. In Mauritius humidity, a light lotion on the feet is usually enough in the morning.

1. Normal face AM routine (cleanse, hydrate, moisturize, SPF).
2. Foot step: rinse feet, pat dry, apply a foot or body moisturizer.
3. SPF on exposed foot skin if wearing sandals.

This treatment is a PM, once-only event. Do it after your shower, so the soles are clean, and finish the rest of your evening routine before you put the socks on.

1. Cleanse face, apply your usual PM skincare.
2. Wash feet thoroughly and pat completely dry.
3. Foot Peeling Mask: 60 minutes.
4. Rinse feet with lukewarm water.
5. Apply a foot moisturizer once feet are dry.

Skin cycling note: if you run a 4-night face cycle, put the foot treatment on a recovery night, never on the same night as an exfoliation or retinoid night, so your skin is not dealing with several actives at once.

Required skin state: clean, dry and intact. The brand notes that dead skin begins peeling within 4 to 7 days. Do not forcefully pull or peel the skin, because pulling live skin underneath causes raw spots.

If you feel intense burning rather than mild tingling, remove the socks and rinse right away. Sit on a towel or a mat while wearing them, since the sock is slippery when standing. Walking around in them is not advised.

This is an encyclopedia map of all product types. You do not use all of these daily. You select modules based on your skin state.

This foot peel is a body-care treatment that sits outside the facial stacks below. It is a once-only evening step done after cleansing, never layered into the daily face sequence.

Global execution rules:

• Viscosity ladder: thinnest to thickest; water-phase before oil-phase; treatments before seals.
• Wait-time defaults: watery layers 10-20s; serum layers 30-60s; before sunscreen 10-15 min if going outdoors or applying makeup.
• Amount defaults (unless brand-specific instructions override): watery toner/essence 5-8 drops per layer (or a coin-size puddle in the palm); serum/ampoule 2-3 drops or 1 pump for the face, +1 drop for neck; eye product half a rice-grain per eye; gel moisturizer 1-1.5 peas, cream 1-2 peas; occlusive seal rice-grain to pea-size max; sunscreen 2-finger rule for face, +1 finger for neck.
• Skin state rules: hydrators best on slightly damp skin; retinoids best on fully dry skin (if sensitive, wait 10 minutes after cleansing); exfoliating acids on dry or lightly damp skin depending on irritation, keep to one lane.
• Hard cap rule: if the routine pills, stings, or feels heavy, reduce layers, not increase.

AM Maximum Stack (all product types, correct order):

1. Rinse / Gentle Cleanse (optional): 1-2 pumps or pea-size gel, rinse, pat to slightly damp. Use for oily waking skin, heavy night occlusion, or sweat buildup.
2. pH-Prep / Balancing Toner (optional): 5-8 drops, wait 10-20s.
3. Hydrating Toner Layers (1-3 layers, optional): 5-8 drops per layer, wait 10-20s between layers. In high humidity, often 1 layer is enough.
4. Essence (optional): 5-8 drops, wait 10-20s. Choose either toner layering or essence stacking if you pill easily, not both.
5. Mist / Thermal Water (optional micro-step): 1-2 light sprays, wait 10s.
6. Booster / Soothing Serum (optional): 2-3 drops or 1 pump, wait 30-60s. Best for redness, sensitivity, post-acne inflammation.
7. Antioxidant Lane (optional, choose ONE): L-Ascorbic Acid Vitamin C serum (dry skin, 2-3 drops, wait 1-3 min) or a gentler antioxidant (derivatives, EGCG, ferulic; wait 30-60s). Pick one, not two.
8. Pigment Support Lane (optional, choose ONE): TXA, arbutin, alpha-arbutin or azelaic if AM-tolerated; 2-3 drops, wait 30-60s. Pigmentation routines fail without daily SPF.
9. Hydration Serum Lane (optional): HA, polyglutamic acid or beta-glucan on slightly damp skin; 2-3 drops, wait 30-60s. Seal with moisturizer, especially in AC.
10. Oil-Control / Sebum-Regulating Lane (optional, choose ONE): niacinamide, zinc or succinic; 2-3 drops, wait 30-60s.
11. Peptides / Growth-Factor / Repair Lane (optional): 2-3 drops, wait 30-60s. If using pure LAA, keep peptides in PM if sensitive.
12. Eye Serum/Cream (optional): half a rice-grain per eye, wait 10-20s.
13. Moisturizer: gel 1-1.5 peas or cream 1-2 peas, wait 1 minute before sunscreen if pilling-prone. Humid climates often prefer gel textures.
14. Optional Sealing Layer (only if dry/AC): rice-grain to pea-size max, wait 1-2 minutes. Avoid if clog-prone, oily, or fungal-acne-risk.
15. Sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++ (non-negotiable): 2-finger rule for face (+1 finger neck), wait 10-15 minutes before makeup or outdoor sweat. Reapply every 2 hours of sun exposure.
16. Lip SPF (optional but ideal): 1 swipe, reapply like sunscreen.

In AM, prioritize comfort + SPF adherence over stacking. In high humidity, fewer layers often perform better.

PM Maximum Stack (all product types, correct order):

1. Micellar (optional pre-cleanse): enough to saturate cotton, gentle swipe. Use for heavy makeup or stubborn sunscreen.
2. Oil Cleanser / Balm (if SPF/makeup): 1-2 pumps or grape-size balm. Massage on dry skin 30-60s, add water to emulsify until milky, rinse.
3. Water Cleanser (second cleanse): 1-2 pumps, gentle 30-60s, rinse. Fully dry skin after if using retinoids.
4. pH-Prep Toner (optional): 5-8 drops, wait 10-20s.
5. Hydrating Toner Layers (1-3 layers, optional): 5-8 drops per layer, wait 10-20s. Stop early if it feels tacky.
6. Essence (optional): 5-8 drops, wait 10-20s.
7. Soothing / Barrier Serum (optional): 2-3 drops, wait 30-60s. Best for buffering active lanes.
8. Anchor Product: use the product-type default (serum 2-3 drops, cream 1-2 peas, toner 5-8 drops) unless brand guidance overrides. Retinoid anchor: fully dry skin, wait 2-5 minutes before moisturizer if sensitive. Acid or exfoliant anchor: wait 1-3 minutes.
9. Targeted Serum (optional, ONLY if not conflicting): 2-3 drops, wait 30-60s, only if it is a different pathway.
10. Moisturizer: gel 1-1.5 peas or cream 1-2 peas, wait 1 minute.
11. Sleeping Mask (optional): thin layer, pea-size to grape-size depending on texture, on dry, dehydrated or barrier-support nights.
12. Occlusive Seal (optional; avoid if clog-prone): rice-grain to pea-size max, for very dry/AC-heavy lifestyles or barrier repair phases.
13. Spot Treatment / Pimple Patch (as needed): spot gel a rice-grain only on the lesion; patch on clean dry skin, press 5 seconds.
14. Lip Sleeping Mask (optional): thin swipe.

Do not layer retinoids with AHA/BHA in the same night; keep 'one lane' per night.

Lane strictness: one-lane rule means Retinoid OR Exfoliation OR Strong Vitamin C (LAA) OR Acne-control active per routine, and barrier/hydration can always accompany. If unsure, default to the safest lane (barrier/hydration) and reduce layers.

The mask is a water-thin, alcohol-bearing liquid held in a sock, so it sits on the thinnest rung and always goes on bare, clean skin before any cream. Water and Denatured Alcohol lead the declared list, so the liquid spreads fast and is not meant to be layered under anything.

Apply thinnest to thickest: after the rinse, put a cream or lotion on top, never an oil under the mask. Oil or cream on the soles before the socks acts as a barrier and blocks the acids from reaching the thick plantar skin. Phase: water-phase with an emulsifier (Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate), no silicones declared.

Rest days: do not use other exfoliants on the feet (pumice, foot files, acid pads) from the treatment day until the peeling has finished. Exceeding this does NOT produce faster results; it produces barrier damage.

Maximum frequency: the brand's own frequency limit was not found. General podiatry guidance for foot peels is roughly once a month, so treat the mask as a monthly treatment at most.*

*General guidance from podiatry and dermatology sources, not a VT-stated limit.

Real reviews describe peeling starting around day 3 to day 4 and finishing within a week. A single reviewer estimated about a 70% result, so your outcome depends on how thick your calluses are.

Before starting this product, your routine MUST already include a regular foot moisturizer and intact foot skin free of cuts, fungal infection and eczema. Without these foundations, this product causes more harm than benefit.

Barrier index gate: if the skin on your feet stings when you apply moisturizer, looks raw, or shows visible fissures, your barrier is below threshold. Start with a rich foot cream such as 3W Clinic Enrich Foot Treatment for 1 to 2 weeks first.

Fitzpatrick note: stronger acid peels on feet carry post-inflammatory darkening risk on deeper skin tones if irritated. Stop at the first sign of burning or pronounced redness, and do not repeat the treatment while any darker marks are still present.

• Calluses and rough heels: Glycolic Acid and Lactic Acid loosen the bonds between dead corneocytes in the thick outer layer (keratolysis), so the layer can shed.
• Dry, flaky texture: Salicylic Acid, Capryloyl Salicylic Acid and Gluconolactone add a second and third exfoliating pathway.
• Post-peel comfort: Panthenol, Sodium Hyaluronate, Urea and a Centella asiatica complex (Madecassoside, Asiaticoside, Madecassic and Asiatic Acid) support hydration and soothing, though several appear low on the list.*

*Several of these appear below the estimated 1% line in the INCI list, suggesting trace or sub-efficacious levels. Their inclusion may be primarily for marketing rather than clinical effect.

What this product cannot do: it cannot cure fungal infection or warts, cannot make cracked heels heal on its own, and cannot permanently remove calluses. They return if pressure and dryness return.

Each slot below lists one primary pick plus three alternatives, because stock changes constantly. All were checked as active and in stock in our live catalog at the time of writing.

Slot 1: Post-peel foot moisturizer (apply right after rinsing, again every evening while peeling).

1. Primary: 3W Clinic Enrich Foot Treatment, a foot cream with Hyaluronic Acid and Macadamia Seed Oil for dry heels.
2. DERMA: B Fresh Moisture Body Lotion, a lightweight lotion for humid climates.
3. Pyunkang Yul Body Lotion Dancheong, a soothing option for dry, sensitive skin.
4. 3W Clinic Moisturizing Collagen Hand Cream, a richer cream that also works on heels.

Slot 2: Gentle maintenance between peels (only after the peeling has finished).

1. Primary: Allongs Korean Spa Body Peeling Pad (Soft), a single-use pad that is gentler than the Hard version.
2. Allongs Korean Spa Body Peeling Pad (Pore Control).
3. Allongs Korean Spa Body Peeling Pad (Hard), built for the thickest rough zones, so use it only once the foot skin has fully recovered.

Pilling pairs: thick silicone-heavy creams applied too soon on damp feet can ball up on flaking skin. Wait 60 seconds after drying and pat the cream on.

This is a conflict-solver for ACTIVE ingredients. If you run multiple actives, use these rules to avoid irritation, deactivation, and barrier damage.

• One Active Lane per routine: in a single AM or PM routine, run only one primary active lane. Treat this foot peel as its own lane for the evening.
• If you break a rule: do not push through. Reduce frequency, split AM/PM, or alternate nights.
• Barrier override: if moisturizer stings or skin feels tight within 30 minutes of cleansing, pause all actives and run barrier-only for 3-7 days.
• Chemical exfoliants x physical scrubs, files, pumice: do not combine on the same day, because micro-tears plus over-stripping damage the skin. Instead: choose the peel OR gentle filing after healing, never both together.
• Acid peel x another acid product on the feet (body AHA lotions, acid pads): not within 7 to 14 days. Instead: let one treatment finish before starting the next.
• Peel x prescription retinoid or urea/salicylic prescription creams on the feet: do not stack. Instead: ask your doctor which lane takes priority.
• Peel x facial retinoid night: keep to separate nights so one evening carries one active load.

Scheduling templates:

• Template A (AM/PM split): AM moisturizer + SPF on exposed feet; PM foot peel on treatment night only.
• Template B (4-night cycle): Night 1 foot peel, Night 2 face retinoid, Nights 3-4 recovery.
• Template C (alternate-night, simpler): treatment night, then nothing but moisturizer until peeling is over.

Do not layer retinoids with AHA/BHA in the same night; keep 'one lane' per night.

• One-lane rule: Retinoid OR Exfoliation OR Strong Vitamin C (LAA) OR Acne-control active per routine; barrier/hydration can always accompany.
• If unsure: default to the safest lane = barrier/hydration, and reduce layers.

MYTH: 'Longer than 60 minutes means a stronger peel.' REALITY: the brand states about 60 minutes; extra time adds irritation and chemical-burn risk, not extra peeling.

MYTH: 'I should pull off the hanging skin once it starts to peel.' REALITY: the brand says do not forcefully pull or peel, because tearing attached skin can leave raw patches and invite infection.

MYTH: 'Foot peels are cosmetic only, so anyone can use them.' REALITY: podiatry sources list diabetes, broken skin and infection as real reasons to avoid acid foot peels.

Hard water note: Mauritius tap water hardness varies by region and leaves mineral film on skin after washing. Rinse the sock liquid off thoroughly with lukewarm water and moisturize afterwards, since hard-water residue adds to tightness.

pH: not publicly disclosed. Potassium Hydroxide and Arginine are present as pH-adjusting agents, which suggests a buffered formula, but we found no measured pH or free-acid figure.

Full INCI list (as aggregated from retailer and INCIDecoder listings for the 40ml version of this mask; confidence medium):

Water, Denatured Alcohol, Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid, Glycerin, Potassium Hydroxide, Arginine, Butylene Glycol, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Panthenol, Dipropylene Glycol, Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate, Hydroxyacetophenone, [--- Estimated 1% Line ---] Salicylic Acid, Urea, Caprylyl Glycol, Disodium EDTA, Gluconolactone, Capryloyl Salicylic Acid, 1,2-Hexanediol, Apple Mint Leaf Extract, Quillaja Bark Extract, Portulaca Oleracea Extract, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Salvia Officinalis Leaf Extract, Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Extract, Silica, Centella Asiatica Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Madecassoside, Madecassic Acid, Asiaticoside, Asiatic Acid, Propolis Extract, Fragrance.

*This ingredient appears below the estimated 1% line in the INCI list, suggesting it is present at a trace/sub-efficacious concentration. Its inclusion may be primarily for marketing rather than clinical effect. This applies to the Centella complex, Sodium Hyaluronate and Eucalyptus leaf extract, which are the ingredients the brand highlights.

The 1% line is an estimate from list position only. Salicylic Acid sits just below it, which suggests a concentration well under the 2% pregnancy-caution threshold, but VT has not published an exact figure. We could not open the brand's page directly, so this list reflects retailer aggregations, and your box is the final authority.

Preservative system: Hydroxyacetophenone, Caprylyl Glycol and 1,2-Hexanediol (multifunctional preservative boosters), plus Disodium EDTA as a chelating stabilizer. No paraben or phenoxyethanol was found in the aggregated list.

• Fragrance status: Synthetic Fragrance (Parfum) declared, listed last.
• Scent: not described by the brand; botanical extracts (mint, sage, eucalyptus) may add a cooling herbal note.
• Intensity and dissipation: not disclosed; expect it to fade after rinsing.
• EU 26 allergen screen: no individual allergens are listed in the declared INCI, but Fragrance is present without a breakdown.
• Alcohol disclosure: Drying alcohol (Denatured Alcohol) at INCI position 2. This is common for rinse-off foot treatments, but it matters for cracked or eczema-prone skin.

*Based on brand-declared INCI. The term 'Fragrance' or 'Parfum' in the INCI list may contain undisclosed allergens. Patch test advised for sensitive individuals.

• Bee or pollen allergy: the list contains Propolis Extract, which can cross-react in people allergic to bee products or pollen.
• Aspirin sensitivity: Salicylic Acid is chemically related to aspirin; people with salicylate sensitivity should avoid it.
• Chamomile and ragweed family allergy: Salvia (sage) and Portulaca extracts are botanical, so patch test if you react strongly to plant extracts.
• Prescription drugs: if you use prescription tretinoin, adapalene, isotretinoin or topical steroids on the feet, ask your dermatologist before using this product.

Halal: we do not claim Halal-Friendly status. The list includes Denatured Alcohol, whose source is not disclosed (fermentation versus synthetic), so a self-assessment cannot be made honestly. Muslims with stricter requirements should consult their own scholars.

Vegan: No. Propolis Extract is bee-derived, so this product is not vegan.

Cruelty-free: VT markets itself as cruelty-free.* We found no listing on a third-party certification database such as Leaping Bunny or PETA, and we did not verify the brand's Mainland China retail presence.

*Brand-stated policy. Not independently certified by Leaping Bunny, PETA, or equivalent third-party audit.

Microplastics: Microplastic-Free: Yes, none detected in the declared list (the only polymer-like entries are cellulose-derived Hydroxyethylcellulose and mineral Silica).

MFDS classification: not confirmed; treated as a General Cosmetic. We found no evidence of Functional Cosmetic registration.

Clinical evidence: no product-specific clinical trial, sample size or result was found. The exfoliating action of AHA and BHA on the stratum corneum is well established in general dermatology, but VT's own claims for this mask (smoother, softer feet after peeling) rest on marketing copy and user reports.

Evidence confidence: Marketing-Only for brand claims; Medium for the general acid mechanism.*

*Brand claims have no publicly available study data, sample size or testing protocol. The ingredient mechanism is supported by general literature, not by a VT trial.

Size note: VT also sells this mask in a larger 40ml-per-pair version, and the ingredient list we found is from retailer pages for that version. We could not confirm the 16ml version has an identical formula, so check the ingredient panel on your box. The "Reedle Shot" name reflects the brand's line, not microneedles in this product, as we found no spicule-type ingredient beyond a low-position Silica.

Fungal Acne Safety: FA-Conditional. Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate is a lauric-acid ester, a class commonly flagged in Malassezia-feeding lists. Contact is rinse-off and foot skin is rarely a fungal acne site, but we could not query the dedicated FA databases. If you are prone to fungal folliculitis on the legs, patch test first.

Pilling risk: None for the mask itself, as it is a rinse-off liquid. The pilling risk comes after: applying cream onto peeling, flaking skin can roll into small crumbs.

Mitigation: rinse, dry fully, wait 60 seconds, then pat a thin cream layer on instead of rubbing. Use less cream if it balls up.

Color baseline: a clear to slightly tinted liquid is expected; we found no brand-stated color. A strong sour or rancid smell, or leakage from the sock, suggests damage.

Storage: keep sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sun. In Mauritius heat, avoid a hot car or sunny windowsill, because sustained heat can degrade acids and the seal.

Spoilage signs: torn packaging, dried-out liner, odd smell, or a swollen sachet. When in doubt, discard.

1. Patch test: dab a little of the liquid (from a cut corner of the sock) on the inner ankle for 24 hours, and on the inner forearm for 24 hours if you have sensitive skin.
2. 72-hour barrier reset: if adverse reaction: STOP ALL ACTIVES. For 72 hours, use ONLY gentle cleanser + plain moisturizer + mineral SPF. NO acids, retinoids, Vitamin C, exfoliants, or essential oils. After 72h, reintroduce ONE product per 14 days.
3. Emergency stop signals: hives, swelling, blistering, persistent burning, or breathing difficulty (seek emergency care).

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding: acid foot peels are generally advised against. A body cream such as 3W Clinic Enrich Foot Treatment is a gentler option.

1. Wearing it on wet or damp feet: water dilutes the liquid and gives patchy results.
2. Going over 60 minutes: raises burn risk without extra benefit.
3. Scrubbing or pulling skin during the peel: damages new skin.
4. Skipping moisturizer: freshly exposed skin loses water quickly in AC and heat.
5. Heading to the beach days after: sand rubs raw skin and saltwater stings.

Overuse threshold: about once a month at most; more frequent use risks thinning the protective foot skin and chemical burns.*

*General foot-peel guidance from podiatry sources, not a VT-stated limit.

One pair (16ml) is one treatment, so a single mask covers one session for both feet. At a monthly cadence, this means one pair lasts a month of maintenance.

Using two pairs in one session or repeating it within 2 weeks gives no extra results and raises irritation risk. Reorder about 2 weeks before your next planned session to allow for shipping time.

Smooth heels are a final-step result, so the foot routine around the peel matters as much as the peel itself. This mask is a water-thin exfoliating treatment that acts on the thick outer foot skin and is followed by a cream to hold moisture in.

Evening treatment routine:

1. Cleanse face and finish your normal PM routine.
2. Wash feet, pat completely dry.
3. VT Reedle Shot Foot Peeling Mask, 60 minutes.
4. Rinse with lukewarm water, pat dry.
5. Foot moisturizer, one thin layer, wait 60 seconds before pulling on socks.

Morning after:

1. Normal face AM routine.
2. Foot moisturizer.
3. SPF on exposed foot skin if wearing sandals.

State-based branches:

• If you spend long hours in air conditioning, then moisturize the feet twice daily while peeling, because dry air speeds up cracking.
• If you walk barefoot at home on tiles or sand, then wear clean cotton socks to bed during peeling days to protect the shedding skin.
• If your feet itch or look scaly between the toes, then skip the peel and see a pharmacist or doctor about athlete's foot first.
• If your barrier is compromised (stinging cream, fissures), then do not use it yet; repair first with a rich foot cream.

Bundles (all verified active and in stock at time of writing):

• First-timer set: this peel + 3W Clinic Enrich Foot Treatment + Allongs Body Peeling Pad (Soft). Use the peel once, moisturize nightly, and use the pad only after peeling stops. Included because the cream protects new skin and the soft pad keeps results going gently.
• Humid-climate set: this peel + DERMA: B Fresh Moisture Body Lotion + Allongs Body Peeling Pad (Hard). Use the lotion daily from the day after the peel; the Hard pad is for thick zones only once healed.
• Sensitive-skin set: this peel (after patch test) + Pyunkang Yul Body Lotion Dancheong + 3W Clinic Moisturizing Collagen Hand Cream. Lotion on legs and ankles, cream on heels.

After purchasing, you will receive our skincare education email series covering this product in depth.

The recommendations above are based on formulation synergy with VT Reedle Shot Foot Peeling Mask, not on margin or stock levels. If a pairing does not exist in our catalog, we say so. If you already own a product that fills the same role, use what you have first.

We do not currently carry another in-stock foot-specific acid peel mask. Our other foot peel, A'pieu Soft Foot Peeling Socks, is currently out of stock, so we do not offer it as an available alternative.

Alternatives for gentler or between-peel smoothing, with one primary and two alternatives:

1. Primary: Allongs Korean Spa Body Peeling Pad (Soft), a gentler single-use pad for lighter roughness.
2. Allongs Korean Spa Body Peeling Pad (Pore Control).
3. Allongs Korean Spa Body Peeling Pad (Hard), for thicker rough areas.

Trade-off: body pads are targeted at elbows, knees and similar zones rather than the whole sole, and none of them gives the full-foot, enclosed 60-minute contact of a sock mask. They are better for maintenance than for heavy callus removal.

Choose VT Reedle Shot Foot Peeling Mask over the Allongs Soft pad if you need whole-foot, sealed acid contact on thick, built-up skin, because the sock keeps liquid on both soles for 60 minutes.

Upgrade triggers:

• If calluses are thick and cover the whole heel, then the mask is worth choosing.
• If a pad has not changed rough heels after several uses, then step up.
• If you want one planned treatment instead of regular scrubbing, then choose the mask.
• If you can stay off the beach for a week, then it fits your calendar.
• If your skin is intact and healthy and you tolerate acids, then you meet the baseline.
• If your barrier is compromised, do not upgrade yet; repair barrier first.

Timing and lane: PM only, own active lane for the evening, rinse-off on dry skin; see the Conflict Solver above for what not to stack.

Don't upgrade if: your foot skin is cracked or sensitive; you cannot commit to moisturizing daily; you already use an acid body product on your feet; you have diabetes or are pregnant.

If you match 2 or more upgrade triggers above, THIS is worth choosing. If not, the alternative is sufficient and safer. Consistency beats complexity.

This product's PRIMARY function is: acid-based exfoliation of thick foot skin. You do NOT need this if you already own an acid foot peel or sock mask that you have not yet used. Finish your current product before purchasing.

Inventory audit: check your cabinet for an open foot peel or acid body product. As this is single-use with no disclosed shelf life, check the expiry on any older box before using it.

Stacking assessment: No Benefit for a second foot peel (same mechanism). Marginal Benefit with a pumice or file after healing. Significant Benefit with a rich foot cream, which works on a different pathway (moisture rather than exfoliation).

This product is sourced through authorized Korean distributors — primarily Craver Co., Ltd (South Korea), alongside other verified distribution partners. Craver is a major Korean beauty distributor and the parent company of SKIN1004, handling authorized distribution for multiple K-beauty brands. All products are shipped directly to Mauritius via verified channels.

For comprehensive information about how we verify authenticity, our layered verification system, and how to check your product at home, visit our dedicated Authenticity and Trust page.

Quick checks: the box should show clear, sharp printing and the VT Cosmetics branding without spelling errors, a visible batch or expiry code, and intact sock sachets with no leakage. We have no VT-specific hologram or seal markers to cite for this product; the Authenticity page explains what to compare.

VT built its name on the Cica line fronted by BTS from 2019 and the Reedle Shot line, which uses a spicule-style delivery concept for serums and creams. The foot peel borrows the Reedle Shot name but is an acid exfoliating sock rather than a spicule product, based on the declared ingredient list.

We did not find a dedicated Reddit thread or Amazon review set for this exact product. What we did find were retailer reviews summarized through search listings, so treat the following as theme-level, not verified individual quotes.

• Positive: a reviewer reported skin peeling about 3 days after use and estimated roughly 70% effectiveness, recommending it to anyone wanting a foot peel.
• Positive: another described the peeling as "grossly satisfying" and reported baby-soft feet after about a week.
• Positive: a third said a lot of dead skin came off even though their feet were not very rough.

Retailer pages show a high average rating, including 94% five-star reviews across 64 reviews on one K-beauty retailer and 4.86 out of 5 on 7 reviews at another. We did not find critical or mixed reviews in the sources we could access, and we cannot assume none exist. Common praise is visible peeling in roughly a week; no common complaint theme surfaced.

Sustainability: single-use plastic liner; recyclability instructions and refillable status were not disclosed by the brand. Dispose of used socks with household waste.

How long until my feet start peeling?

The brand says dead skin starts to peel within 4 to 7 days after using the mask. Some users report starting around day 3, and it usually finishes within about a week.

Can I use it more than once a month?

We would not. The brand's own frequency was not found, and general foot-peel guidance suggests about monthly use at most.

Is it safe in pregnancy?

There is no product-specific pregnancy data, so it is generally not recommended. Ask your doctor or midwife before using it.

Can diabetics use it?

No, not without medical advice. Reduced foot sensation and slower healing mean a burn or cut can go unnoticed.

Will it hurt?

Mild tingling is possible on intact skin. Intense burning means remove the socks and rinse immediately.

Is the 16ml the same as the 40ml?

Both are described as the same product at different sizes, but we could not confirm the 16ml formula against the 40ml ingredient list. Check the label on your box.

Best for: adults with intact but thick, rough or callused foot skin who want a hands-off, once-a-month treatment and can keep their feet out of the sea and sand for about a week. It suits winter and cooler months best.

Key benefits: a Glycolic, Lactic and Salicylic Acid blend with LHA and PHA support; a sealed 60-minute whole-foot treatment; visible peeling within 4 to 7 days; and a soothing Centella-derived complex, though several of these appear low in the list.

Keep in mind: acid percentages and pH are undisclosed. The formula contains Denatured Alcohol, Fragrance and Propolis (so it is not vegan), and it is not for diabetics, pregnancy, broken skin or under-16s.

• Week 1-2: introduce alone, single treatment, patch test on the ankle first, monitor feet.
• Week 3-4: only moisturize and let the peeling finish; no further exfoliation.
• Week 5+: add one support product (such as a gentle pad) only if needed.
• If irritation occurs at any point, use the 72-hour barrier reset in the Safety section.

This product must be introduced as the ONLY new product. Wait 14 days before adding anything else.

Sun sensitivity: AHAs make skin more sun-sensitive. Newly exposed foot skin can burn in Mauritius sun, so use sunscreen on the tops of the feet and avoid long outdoor barefoot time for the week after.

Sea and pool water: saltwater and chlorine can sting thin, freshly peeled skin and can carry bacteria into small cracks. Wait until peeling is done before swimming.

Decision point (end of Week 2): any persistent redness, burning or raw patches? YES: stay in barrier-only care for 2 more weeks. NO: proceed to Week 3.
