VT VITA-LIGHT REEDLE SHOT 100 2STEP HYDROGEL MASK (1.5G+33G)

This advanced two-step mask system offers an at-home, clinic-inspired treatment to visibly brighten dull skin, fade dark spots, and refine rough texture. It combines VT's innovative Cica Reedle™ technology with a potent vitamin and glutathione complex, delivering powerful brightening ingredients deeper into the skin for maximum impact. The result is a clearer, smoother, and more radiant complexion that glows from within.

Dealing with stubborn dark spots, a dull complexion, or uneven texture can be frustrating. This mask is designed for those who want to accelerate their brightening results beyond what typical serums can offer.

• Who it's for: Best suited for normal, combination, and oily skin types concerned with dullness, post-acne marks (PIH), sun spots, and rough texture.
• What to expect: A unique tingling sensation upon applying the Step 1 essence, followed by a cooling and soothing hydrogel mask. Skin appears immediately brighter and feels smoother after one use. With consistent weekly use, expect a more even skin tone and a visible reduction in dark spots.
• What it's not: Not recommended for extremely sensitive skin, active acne, open wounds, or a compromised skin barrier due to the micro-needle technology.

Use this mask 1-2 times per week as part of your evening routine.

1. Cleanse: Start with a clean, dry face.
2. Step 1 - Reedle Shot Essence: Apply the entire Step 1 packet (1.5g) evenly across your face. Gently press and massage it into the skin to aid absorption. You'll feel a slight tingling sensation.
3. Step 2 - Hydrogel Mask: Immediately place the Step 2 hydrogel mask over your face, smoothing it down. Relax for 15-20 minutes.
4. Finish: Remove the mask and gently pat the remaining essence into your skin. Follow with your favorite moisturiser to seal everything in.

Note: If you already have a similar exfoliating treatment, use this mask on an alternate night. Do not stack multiple strong actives.

Integrate this treatment into your evening routine 1-2 times per week on nights you are not using other exfoliants or retinoids.

• Step 1: Double Cleanse (if wearing makeup/sunscreen)
  Try: SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Light Cleansing Oil followed by a water-based cleanser.
• Step 2: Toner (Optional)
  A simple, hydrating toner can prep the skin. Avoid exfoliating toners on this night.
• Step 3: VT VITA-LIGHT REEDLE SHOT 100 2STEP MASK
  Apply Step 1 essence, then cover with the Step 2 hydrogel mask as directed.
• Step 4: Moisturiser
  After removing the mask and patting in the residue, apply a calming, barrier-supporting cream. Try: ETUDE SoonJung 2x Barrier Intensive Cream.

Texture Rule: This 2-step system functions as your main treatment step. Follow the "thinnest to thickest" principle for any products used before or after.

This is an intensive treatment designed for periodic use, not daily application.

• Amount: Use the entire Step 1 sachet (1.5g) for the face. The Step 2 mask is one-size.
• Apply to: Freshly cleansed and toned (optional) skin. Avoid the delicate eye and lip area with the Step 1 essence.
• Method:
  1. Apply the Step 1 essence and gently press it into the skin using the palms of your hands. A prickly or tingling feeling is a normal and intended effect of the Cica Reedle™ technology.
  2. Without waiting, apply the Step 2 hydrogel mask directly over the essence. The mask's cooling effect helps soothe the skin while its occlusive nature enhances the absorption of the brightening actives.
  3. Leave the mask on for 15-20 minutes. After removing, pat any remaining essence into the skin until absorbed.
• Frequency: Start with once a week to assess your skin's tolerance. If your skin responds well, you may increase to twice a week. Do not use on consecutive days.

Pro-Tip: The day after using this mask, be extra diligent with sunscreen application, as your skin will be more receptive to both beneficial ingredients and UV rays.

Safety: Do not use on broken, irritated, or eczematous skin. Stop use immediately if you experience a severe burning sensation, rash, or persistent redness.

Because this mask provides a stimulating treatment, it's best to schedule it on nights away from other strong actives like high-strength retinoids or acid exfoliants.

Example Weekly PM Routine:

• Monday: VT Reedle Shot Mask Night.
• Tuesday: Soothing & Hydration Night (e.g., hydrating toner, calming serum, moisturiser).
• Wednesday: Exfoliation Night (e.g., use a separate AHA/BHA toner if needed).
• Thursday: Soothing & Hydration Night.
• Friday: VT Reedle Shot Mask Night (Optional, if skin tolerates it).
• Saturday: Soothing & Hydration Night.
• Sunday: Soothing & Hydration Night (or a nourishing sleeping pack).

Key Rule: Dedicate one night per active. Do not use this mask on the same night as products containing high concentrations of Glycolic Acid, Salicylic Acid, or Retinoids to avoid over-stimulating the skin.

• Immediately: After one use, skin will feel significantly smoother and appear visibly brighter and more "lit from within." The cooling hydrogel mask leaves the skin feeling calm, hydrated, and plump.
• After 2-4 Weeks (2-4 uses): You may notice an improvement in overall skin texture and radiance. Pores may appear more refined, and the skin's surface will feel softer.
• After 4-8+ Weeks (4-8 uses): With consistent weekly use, you should see a noticeable fading of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (acne marks) and a more even skin tone. The cumulative effect of enhanced ingredient delivery helps to progressively lighten dark spots.

Individual results vary. Consistent use and daily sun protection are essential for achieving and maintaining results.

Myth: "You need harsh, grainy scrubs or at-home derma-rollers to force ingredients into your skin and smooth out texture."

Reality: Aggressive physical scrubs and improper derma-rolling can create micro-tears, damage the skin barrier, and worsen hyperpigmentation, especially in melanin-rich skin. The VT Reedle Shot technology offers a more sophisticated and controlled alternative. The microscopic Cica Reedles™ are designed to create uniform, temporary micro-channels that enhance absorption without the risks of tearing or infection associated with manual tools. The added Centella Asiatica helps soothe the skin simultaneously, making it a smarter, safer way to boost your routine's effectiveness.

• ✅ Works Well With:
  • Hydrating Ingredients: Hyaluronic Acid, Panthenol (Vitamin B5), and Beta-Glucan are excellent to use in the days following the mask to keep skin plump and hydrated.
  • Barrier-Supporting Ingredients: Ceramides, Squalane, and calming creams (like those with Madecassoside) are perfect to use as a moisturiser after the mask to soothe and strengthen the skin barrier.
  • Gentle Brighteners: Niacinamide can be used on alternate days to complement the mask's brightening effects.
• ⚠️ Use With Caution:
  • Do not use high-concentration Vitamin C serums, AHA/BHA exfoliants, or Retinoids on the same night as this mask. Alternate their use throughout the week to avoid over-stimulation and potential irritation.
• ❌ Avoid On:
  • Do not apply to areas with active, inflamed acne, open wounds, eczema, rosacea flare-ups, or a visibly damaged skin barrier. Let your skin heal before using this treatment.

• 🟢 Ideal For:
  • Normal Skin: Excellent for boosting radiance and maintaining an even tone.
  • Combination & Oily Skin: Helps to refine texture, improve the appearance of pores, and fade post-acne marks without adding heaviness.
  • Dull or Mature Skin: A great weekly treatment to restore luminosity and smooth fine, textural lines.
• 🟡 Use With Caution:
  • Dry Skin: Can be beneficial for texture and brightness, but ensure you follow up with a rich, nourishing moisturiser to prevent any potential dryness.
  • Acne-Prone Skin: Suitable for fading post-acne marks, but avoid using over active, inflamed, or open pimples.
• 🔴 Not Recommended For:
  • Highly Sensitive or Reactive Skin: The tingling sensation from the reedles may be too intense.
  • Rosacea-Prone Skin: The stimulation may trigger flushing and irritation.
  • Compromised Skin Barrier: If your skin is currently peeling, red, or stinging from other products, allow it to fully recover before trying this mask.

This 2-step mask is specifically formulated to address the following skin concerns:

• Dullness & Lack of Radiance: Revives tired-looking skin by delivering a potent cocktail of vitamins and antioxidants for an immediate glow.
• Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH): Helps to visibly fade the dark marks and spots left behind by acne breakouts.
• Uneven Skin Tone & Sun Spots: Works to create a more uniform and clear complexion by targeting areas of discoloration.
• Rough Skin Texture: Smooths the skin's surface by promoting gentle renewal and enhancing the absorption of nourishing ingredients.
• Suboptimal Product Absorption: The micro-channeling effect of the Reedle Shot helps your subsequent skincare products work more effectively.

• Yuja (Citron) Extract: A natural source of Vitamin C, known for its ability to revitalize and brighten dull skin, giving it a fresh, radiant look.

As with any new product, a patch test is highly recommended, especially given the active nature of this mask.

Due to the unique Cica Reedle™ technology, following safety guidelines is crucial.

Who Should Use With Caution:

• Individuals with sensitive skin, rosacea, or a tendency towards flushing.
• Those new to skincare actives.
• It is not recommended for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to the enhanced penetration effect and lack of specific safety data.

Do Not Use If You Have:

• Open wounds, active inflamed acne, infections, eczema, or psoriasis on the face.
• A known allergy to any of the ingredients.
• Recently undergone a professional peel, laser treatment, or other intensive procedures. Wait for your skin to fully heal.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a small amount of the Step 1 essence to a discreet area, like behind the ear or on the jawline.
2. Note the tingling sensation. It should be mild and temporary. Wait 10-15 minutes.
3. If no excessive redness, burning, or swelling occurs, proceed with using the mask on your face.
4. Discontinue use immediately if a severe reaction occurs.

• Step 1 Essence Texture: A lightweight, fluid gel-like serum that spreads easily.
• Step 1 Sensation: A distinct, prickly or tingling feeling upon application as the micro-reedles interact with the skin. This sensation is normal and subsides.
• Step 2 Mask Texture: A cool, jelly-like hydrogel mask, typically in two pieces (top and bottom) for a better fit. It adheres well to the skin.
• Step 2 Sensation: Immediately cooling, calming, and soothing. It helps to alleviate the tingling from Step 1.
• Finish: After removing the mask and patting in the essence, the skin is left feeling deeply hydrated, smooth, and with a visible, dewy glow. It is not greasy or sticky.
• pH: The formulation is expected to be within a skin-friendly pH range of approximately 5.0 - 6.5.

• Issue: The tingling is stronger than I expected.
  Solution: This is normal for first-time users. Ensure you are applying to dry skin and pressing gently. The cooling hydrogel mask should provide immediate relief. If it feels like a painful burn, wash it off. Next time, try a "Reedle Shot 50" product to build tolerance.
• Issue: My skin is a bit red after removing the mask.
  Solution: A slight, temporary pinkness can be normal due to the stimulation. It should subside within an hour. Always follow with a calming moisturiser. If redness is persistent or accompanied by a rash, discontinue use.
• Issue: I don't feel any tingling at all.
  Solution: Sensation can vary based on skin thickness and sensitivity. The product is still working to deliver actives. Ensure you are massaging it in sufficiently. If you are an experienced user of Reedle Shot products, you may be ready to try a higher intensity like the 300 or 700 versions.

This mask is well-suited for the Mauritian climate, where concerns about sun-induced hyperpigmentation and dullness are common.

• Humid Summers: The cooling hydrogel mask provides welcome relief from the heat. Its brightening function is perfect for tackling sun spots and uneven tone. As an evening treatment, it won't feel heavy or occlusive.
• Drier/Cooler Winters: It helps to slough off any dull, dry skin build-up and restore radiance. Be sure to follow up with a slightly richer moisturiser during cooler months to lock in the hydration.
• Indoors (Air-Conditioning): If you spend a lot of time in AC, which can dehydrate the skin, this mask helps to replenish moisture and restore a healthy glow.

Aggregated sentiment from independent reviews. Individual results can vary.

• "I was nervous about the tingling but it was totally manageable. The hydrogel mask felt so calming right after. The next morning, my skin had this incredible glow, like I'd just had a professional facial. My pores looked smaller and my whole face was just... brighter."
  - Paraphrased from a Reddit review, r/AsianBeauty (2024-05)
• "This is my go-to before a big event. It smooths out my skin texture and gives my foundation a flawless base to sit on. The brightening effect is real and immediate. I've noticed my old acne marks are slowly fading since I started using this once a week."
  - Paraphrased from a YesStyle customer review (2024-03)
• A Fair Caveat: "The tingling from Step 1 was more intense than I expected and my face was a little pink afterwards, though it did calm down. If you have really sensitive skin, I would definitely patch test first or maybe start with the '50' version."
  - Paraphrased from an Amazon customer review (2024-04)
