Frequently Asked Questions
What is Reedle Shot 100 serum used for?
The VT Reedle Shot 100 is a revolutionary K-beauty essence designed to improve skin texture, boost radiance, and enhance the absorption of your other skincare products. The reedle shot serum contains 100 natural silica micro-spicules (reedles) per ml that gently exfoliate the skin's surface, promoting cell turnover and allowing active ingredients to penetrate more effectively. Regular use helps refine rough texture, minimise the appearance of pores, fade dark spots, and deliver a smoother, more luminous complexion. The CICA-infused formula also soothes and strengthens the skin barrier while the reedles work their magic.
What is the difference between Reedle Shot 100 and 300?
The number in each reedle shot variant indicates the concentration of silica micro-spicules per millilitre. Reedle Shot 100 contains 100 reedles/ml, making it the gentlest option and perfect for beginners, sensitive skin, or those new to micro-needling skincare. Reedle Shot 300 contains triple the concentration (300 reedles/ml), delivering more intense exfoliation and faster visible results, but with a stronger tingling sensation. Start with the needle shot 100 to let your skin build tolerance, then graduate to higher strengths if desired. Many users with sensitive skin find the 100 version provides excellent results without irritation.
How to use VT Cosmetics Reedle Shot?
Apply the VT reedle shot after cleansing and toning, before heavier serums or moisturisers. Dispense 2-3 drops onto fingertips and gently press (don't rub) into skin, focusing on areas with texture concerns, enlarged pores, or dullness. A mild tingling sensation is normal and indicates the reedles are working. Allow the serum to absorb for a few minutes before continuing your routine. Use once daily, preferably in your evening routine, and always follow with sunscreen during the day. For best results, use consistently for 4-6 weeks to see cumulative improvements in skin texture and radiance.
Is Reedle Shot safe for sensitive skin?
Yes, Reedle Shot 100 is specifically formulated to be gentle enough for sensitive skin types. The lower concentration of 100 reedles/ml provides effective exfoliation without overwhelming reactive skin, while the CICA (Centella Asiatica) complex actively soothes and calms any sensitivity. The reedle shot serum is dermatologically tested and free from harsh irritants. However, a mild tingling sensation during application is completely normal. Patch test before first use if you have very reactive skin. Start with every other day application and gradually increase to daily use as your skin adjusts. Avoid using on active breakouts, wounds, or sunburned skin.
