Does the VT Reedle Shot 300 cause pain or a stinging sensation?
Yes, it is completely normal to feel a tingling or stinging sensation upon application. This occurs because the product contains micro-sized, needle-shaped mineral ingredients (Reedle™) that penetrate the outer layer of the skin to create micro-channels. This "stinging" is a sign that the active ingredients are being delivered deep into the dermis to stimulate skin regeneration and improve absorption of subsequent skincare products.
How often should I use the VT Cosmetics Reedle Shot 300?
Unlike the Reedle Shot 100, which can be used daily, the Reedle Shot 300 is a more concentrated formula designed for use every three days. It should only be used as part of your nighttime skincare routine to allow the skin adequate time to recover and undergo the natural turnover process. Over-using this intensive serum can lead to skin barrier irritation.
Can I use VT Reedle Shot 300 with Retinol or Vitamin C?
While you can use these ingredients together, it is recommended to proceed with caution. Because the Reedle Shot significantly increases skin absorption, using high-strength actives like Retinol or Vitamin C immediately afterward may cause increased sensitivity or irritation. It is best to patch-test first or use a soothing, hydrating cream until your skin builds a tolerance to the "microneedling" effect.
What is the difference between VT Reedle Shot 100, 300, and 700?
The numbers represent the concentration of the "Cica Reedle" ingredients within the formula. The 100 shot is the entry-level version for daily use, the 300 shot is an intermediate-strength formula for use every three days, and the 700 shot is a high-intensity treatment meant for once-a-week use. As the number increases, the stinging sensation and the depth of skin texture improvement also increase.
Where does Reedle Shot 300 fit into a nighttime skincare routine?
The VT Reedle Shot 300 should be the very first step in your nighttime routine after cleansing. You should apply it to a dry, clean face and massage it in to ensure the micro-needles are properly positioned. Following this, you should apply your usual serums and a rich moisturizer to help soothe the skin and lock in the benefits of the treatment.
Is it safe to use Reedle Shot 300 after a professional dermatological treatment?
No, you should avoid using the Reedle Shot immediately after receiving professional laser treatments, chemical peels, or clinical microneedling. Your skin needs time to heal its barrier. It is generally recommended to wait at least 2 to 3 weeks after a professional procedure before reintroducing the Reedle Shot into your home care routine to prevent extreme irritation.
