VT COSMETICS CICA Reedle Shot 100 Microneedling Serum

I got this serum to see if it could actually give me microneedling-level results at home, and I’m happy to report that yes. It does. After using it just 3 times over the past week, my skin has literally never looked better! I’m in my late 30s with oily but not acne prone skin that isn’t overly sensitive, and I have some fine lines starting. I use actives regularly and have a lot of experience with mid to higher mid range skincare brands, so I’m pretty comfortable with products that feel intense if they deliver. This goes on as the first step after cleansing at night, and it feels like a true treatment, not just another serum. The texture is light and smooth and goes on easily, but once it’s spreading on you can definitely feel the tiny needles immediately. It’s more of a sharp, prickly pain than a tingle, and the first few minutes can be strong, but it settles down quickly instead of lingering all night. I then layer a PDRN product over it, and a face mask on top and that combination has been an absolute game changer. The results have been wild in the best way. My skin texture is more hydrated and smoother than it did in my 20s, with ala bounce that truly makes light hit it differently. Pores look more refined, the overall clarity is better, and people have actually commented on how good my skin looks. I started with the 300 strength and already wish I had gone straight to the 700 because the improvement has been that obvious. For the money, I think this is an amazing value for the real, visible changes in texture and glow you get from an overnight treatment as long as you’re okay with a “beauty is pain” moment while it gets to work. I’d recommend it to people who already use actives, want a noticeable boost in smoothness and clarity, and don’t mind a short burst of sting in exchange for real results.

If you're familiar with microneedling this serum takes that idea and puts it into a topical form. I started on the 100 strength to let my skin adjust and slowly worked my way up to this 700 version. Because this is a higher concentration I only use it once a week at night. The way it works is interesting. It uses microscopic particles from marine sponges combined with calming cica to create tiny channels in the skin. When you massage it in you will feel a clear tingling or prickly sensation. That prickle means the delivery system is doing what it should and helps the formula reach deeper layers to support turnover and help other products absorb better. The ingredient list has niacinamide, macadamia seed oil, propolis extract and adenosine which help hydrate and support texture while the cica keeps things calm. Because it's a high intensity treatment I always follow it with a soothing ampoule to support the skin barrier. Since moving up to this strength the payoff has been undeniable. It leaves my skin looking smooth, bright and refreshed. It's intense so giving your skin a break between weekly uses is important but the results make the temporary tingling worth it.

I’m 41 and have always taken good care of my skin. For full transparency, I get Botox around my eyes twice a year, professional microneedling twice a year, and I drink plenty of water every day. I’d love to get microneedling more often, but it’s just not in my budget right now. This has been a great addition to my routine. I use the Reedle Shot 100 every night, and with consistent use I’ve noticed my skin feels much smoother and looks healthier overall. It doesn’t replace professional treatments, but I do feel like it helps maintain my results between appointments. It gives you beautiful glow in the morning. When you apply it, it has a unique prickly or tingling sensation for a few minutes. It feels strange at first, but it goes away quickly and never irritated my skin. I’ve had such a good experience that I’ll be moving up to the 300 strength when I repurchase. If you’re willing to be consistent, I think it’s absolutely worth trying.

Interesting product. Kind of feel like physical exfoliation. Not uncomfortable, but this 50 y/o face has not seen any difference from consistent use….yet.

Update: it's been 2 months and I have forgotten I ever even had issues with my face. I'm 32, and I feel like at this age, you could have so many problems with your skin. Acne, wrinkles, texture, etc. Before finding this, I had gotten off birth control for 18 months and my face was horrid! I looked young again...young as in puberty with acne. On top of that, I had some acne spots (not scars), redness, texture, uneven, just dull skin. I had bought a high Frequency Wand, which does work, and all other kinds of gadgets, along with trying every kind of treatment and acids to figure it out. I just accepted it. When I bought this, I also purchased the notorious Medicube Booster Pro...long story short...I RETURNED it because all of my results were from the reedler (that's what I call it). GLOWING AND FLAWLESS! I use it 4-6 time a week at night after washing my face (Skin 1004 Centella Tea-Trica cleanser), then the reedler, followed by peptides (naturium, even thought they have some bad ingredients like phenoxyethanol/Peach & Lily/cosrx), retinol on my forehead/neck (Peach & Lily but looking for others), when it's the time of the month I may put the skinRX spot cream as spot treatment, I may add some other things sometimes (adore the Skin 1004 Centella EVERYTHING), then I follow with a moisturizer (Peach & Lily ultra plush/Peach & Lily peptide moisturizer/Skin 1004 hyalu-cica sleep mask/ and I tried to beekman Milk RX, but I'm not seeing any changes, so I alternate with what I've mentioned). On lazy nights I'll apply the reedler and my homemade natural infused oil and wake up glowing. One night serum that is beyond underrated is Undefined R&R Night Serum...that was the first night product that started it all...great ingredients, texture, and results. Back to the reedler, I gifted one to my brother and got my younger sister to buy one...I also bought another 100, 100 collagen, 300 and 700, but have only used the regular 100 so far. I can't speak enough on this product...it's a game changer. I got lots of compliments for thanksgiving (wish I got a commission lol) and I don't wear any make up so it was all glow. I am a research freak and by no means am I rolling in the dough, so finding affordable skincare that does its job is the goal. And this one is IT! Pain: first application it feels a little tingly and I got a little red, but now I don't feel anything and my skin eats it up. IMPORTANT NOTE* I do not have sensitive skin! I use 1 pump for my forehead, 1 for each side of my face, and one for my chin and neck. I've been using the same bottle since beginning of October and it's not even close to running out. Former review: When I got this I expected some pain, but I honestly barely feel anything...which is a relief but also surprising. I think anyone could use this dose. When I don't want to use my devices or I want to get ready for bed quicker, I use this. I simply wash my face, put this on, then continue with my normal routine and I wake up feeling good. My reason for 4 stars, is that I'm still waiting for a noticeable difference...I don't use it every night, I use it about twice a week, and I don't feel I should have to use it every night for results. Am I wrong? My skin is brighter than usual, it's a big bottle for the cost, it doesn't have any scent that I can notice, and it does help my other products absorb, which is what I was looking for. Overall, I will continue using it, and maybe try a week of using it every other day or every day (it just sucks that I can't use any of my devices when I apply this) and give an update when I do. But I think this level could be for anyone and everyone to step up their skincare!

I really like this product! It absorbs well and leaves my skin feeling smoother, firmer, and refreshed. The slight tingling sensation is expected and doesn’t bother me. After using it consistently, my skin looks healthier and has a nice glow. A little goes a long way, and it pairs well with the rest of my skincare routine. I would definitely purchase it again!

I've only used this twice in the last week and I'm already seeing a difference in my forehead wrinkles. I'm shocked by how well this is working!! I use the Reedle Shot 300 followed by the Neogen Bakuchiol Firming Serum and I'm absolutely blown away. I'm 37 and had no wrinkles until I started having babies at 32. My body chemistry changed so much post partum that I've really struggled to feel like I still look like myself. I was never looking for a quick fix, but I absolutely stumbled across one. There has been no skin irritation so far and no break outs. I haven't noticed any fragrance, but I haven't really been paying attention to that. It stings just a little, but certainly less than a dermaroller. Absolutely worth it! Following with a good serum and moisturizer very quickly showed rapid texture improvement across my entire face. I cannot recommend this enough!

This is a good product but it’s potent. Be careful. I applied it two nights ago and my face is so sore and very red, almost like it’s been burnt. Not sure I’ll keep it.

يعطي إشراقة خفيفة مع الاستخدام، بس يحتاج وقت عشان تبين النتيجة

Deja la piel cómo la de un bebé. Hay que tener cuidado, las primeras veces la piel reacciona.

Wow so i did not think this would do anything, but my skin is more glowy and smooth now that I have incorporated this into my night routine! My skin has gotten a little more sensitive because I have medication for Acne, so I use it every other day for now. But i am so far happy with the results and will keep using this. My only concern is accidentally getting it in my eyes.

Usavo già il 300 e ho voluto provare anche il 700 ! Il 300 lo uso tutte le sere mentre il 700 che è molto più potente una volta a settimana! Il 300 ormai lo sento pochissimo il 700 invece punge tanto! Dura anche più giorni l’effetto punturina! Sì resiste non è un male terribile! Si sentono come tanti aghi che pungono leggermente! Devo dire che da quando faccio questo trattamento la mia pelle è migliorata! Non fa miracoli ma la pelle è notevolmente più bella!

Hatte meine Vorurteile, wollte es aber trotzdem ausprobieren. Super gutes Produkt. Man muss nur wissen wie man es am besten anwendet !!! Sonst kann es ganz schön schlimm werden…
