Is the VT Cosmetics Cica Reedle Shot 100 safe for daily use?
Yes, the Reedle Shot 100 is specifically formulated for daily use as part of your evening skincare routine. Unlike the 300 or 700 versions which require breaks, the 100 essence is gentle enough to be applied every night to maintain consistent skin texture and enhance the absorption of your other skincare products.
Is the stinging sensation normal with the 100 strength version?
Yes, a mild tingling or stinging sensation is a normal and expected part of the experience. This feeling indicates that the micro-sized Cica Reedle™ ingredients are working to open pathways in the skin. Since the 100 version has a lower concentration of reedles, the sensation is generally milder than the 300 or 700 versions.
Can I use the Reedle Shot 100 with Retinol or Vitamin C?
While the 100 version is the gentlest in the series, it is still best to be cautious. If you have sensitive skin, avoid using high-potency Vitamin C or Retinol in the same session. For most skin types, it is effective to use the Reedle Shot 100 first, followed by a soothing moisturizer. If your skin feels comfortable, you can gradually introduce other actives.
What are the primary benefits of using the Cica Reedle Shot 100?
The main benefits of the Reedle Shot 100 include improved skin texture, smoother skin surface, and significantly better absorption of subsequent skincare steps. It helps to refine pores and gently resurface the skin over time, making it an excellent choice for those starting their microneedling serum journey.
Should I apply this essence in the morning or at night?
The Reedle Shot 100 should be applied exclusively during your nighttime skincare routine. This allows your skin to recover and absorb the nutrients during its natural repair cycle. Additionally, because the product increases skin permeability, it is essential to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen the following morning to protect against UV rays.
