How often should I use the VT Cosmetics Cica Reedle Shot 300?
The Reedle Shot 300 is an intensive treatment that should be used once every three days as part of your nighttime skincare routine. Do not use it every day like the 100 version, as your skin needs time to recover from the deep stimulation. Consistency every three days will provide the best results without over-stressing the skin.
Is the stinging sensation normal when applying this serum?
Yes, a tingling or stinging sensation is a completely normal and expected reaction. This happens because the micro-sized Cica Reedles are physically opening pathways in your skin to help active ingredients penetrate deeper. The sensation is temporary and usually fades quickly after you apply your moisturizer.
Can I use the Reedle Shot 300 with Retinol or Vitamin C?
It is generally recommended to avoid using high-concentration Retinol, Vitamin C, or chemical exfoliants (AHA/BHA) in the same session as the Reedle Shot 300. Since the serum significantly increases skin permeability, it can make other active ingredients feel much more intense. If you wish to use both, try alternating nights to prevent irritation.
Does this serum help with acne scars and skin texture?
Yes, the Reedle Shot 300 is highly effective for improving skin texture and the appearance of post-acne marks. By creating micro-channels, it stimulates the skin's natural renewal process and allows soothing ingredients like Centella Asiatica to penetrate deeper. Over time, users typically notice smoother skin, smaller-looking pores, and a more even complexion.
Is the Cica Reedle Shot 300 safe for sensitive skin types?
If you have sensitive skin, it is highly recommended to perform a patch test on a small area before full-face application. Those new to microneedling serums should start with the Reedle Shot 100 to build tolerance before moving up to the 300 strength. Avoid using it on areas with active inflammation, open wounds, or rosacea.
