Beautynury - Cosmetics Newspaper (Beautynury.com) :: [A Closer Look at Hit Products] ④ VT Reedle Shot Opens the Era of “Applied” Devices

Many of you may have felt this way.

Various skincare products are created every day in Korea, but one that has been attracting particular attention in recent years is “Reedle Shot (VT Reedle Shot)”.

The Reedle Shot from Korean cosmetics brand “VT COSMETICS” is known as an activating serum formulated with natural microneedles (beauty needles). In Korea, it is such a hot item that you can find it not only at Olive Young but also at DAISO.

In this article, we will clearly explain everything step by step, from how Reedle Shot works and how to choose the right type to how to use it and where to buy it.

It is attracting attention as a booster serum that helps subsequent skincare products absorb more easily while providing fine stimulation to the skin.
It is sometimes described as a “topical Dermapen.”

🔬 How Reedle Shot Works

What are natural microneedles?

The natural microneedles contained in リドルショット are fine beauty needles made from silica, a skin-conditioning ingredient.

They are approximately 0.015 mm (15 microns) thick, which is about one-fifth the thickness of a strand of hair.

These needles are hollow, and by penetrating the skin while carrying beauty ingredients, they are designed to deliver those ingredients deep into the stratum corneum.

When it comes to VT, it’s CICA

It contains moisturizing ingredients such as CICA and hyaluronic acid, with a formula that supports hydration while conditioning the skin.

Even with its sensation that may feel stimulating, it also contains ingredients that help condition the skin.

✅ Benefits you can expect from リドルショット

・Helps subsequent skincare products absorb more easily
・Helps refine the skin’s texture
・Supports exfoliation care
・Provides a sensation of fine stimulation to the skin

Please note that individual experiences may vary.

It is also highly talked about in Japan and is attracting attention as a booster serum.

🔢 Differences in Numbers and How to Choose a Type

VT Cosmetics’ “Reedle Shot” Ranks No. 1 in All Categories at Olive Young < Beauty/Fashion < Industry·Economy < Article - Sisa News
Reedle Shot comes in types such as 50, 100, 300, 700, and 1000, and the higher the number, the stronger the stimulation is likely to feel.

🟢 Reedle S50 (Mild Type)

This type is often chosen by those trying microneedle skincare for the first time or those with sensitive skin. The tingling sensation is quite mild, making it easy to start with.

🟡 Reedle Shot 100 (Daily Type)

It is often introduced as a type that is easy to incorporate into daily skincare, and is also chosen by those who want to try it first.

For those who want to try Reedle Shot for the first time, starting with 100 is often considered a good guideline.

🟠 Reedle Shot 300 (Intensive Care Type)

This type is intended for those who have become accustomed to 100 and are looking for more intensive care.

Many people use it once every few days as a guideline, and it may feel somewhat more stimulating.

🔴 700・1000 (For Advanced Users)

700 and 1000 are often considered suitable for those accustomed to stimulation, so it is best to start with a small amount and monitor your skin when using them.

1000 is an intensive care type, and it is especially recommended to use it cautiously over the entire face, with a trial period starting from a small amount.

⚠️ Tips for Choosing the Right Type

・Many first-time users seem to start with 50 or 100.
・Many users seem to gradually move up to higher levels while monitoring their skin condition and how it feels when applied.
・Since suitability varies from person to person, it is recommended to start with a small amount.

🪄 Basic How to Use

✅ Steps for Use

1️⃣ Use on clean skin after washing your face and before skincare
2️⃣ Take an appropriate amount (approximately 2–3 pumps) into your hand
3️⃣ Gently spread it over your entire face (do not rub)
4️⃣ Gently press it into your skin with your palms
5️⃣ Finish with your usual toner, serum, and cream

Since it contains microneedles, the key is to use it by gently patting it into the skin without rubbing. After use, it is important to moisturize your skin thoroughly.

Since the recommended frequency of use varies depending on the type, it is reassuring to check the packaging or instructions before use.

About the Tingling Sensation

A tingling sensation is a characteristic of using the product, but how it feels varies from person to person. If the stimulation concerns you, do not force yourself to use it and take a break.

However, how it feels varies from person to person, and some may find the stimulation strong.

If redness or irritation occurs, discontinue use and monitor the condition.
