Product details

A silver Reedle Shot 100 pump bottle on a pale grey stone table between centella leaves with water droplets and macadamia nuts

Refine + prep

A gentle “liquid microneedling” serum with fine cica spicules that smooth rough texture and help the rest of your routine sink in.

Reedle Shot 100 is the mildest everyday level of VT’s bestselling Reedle Shot line. Tiny needle-like spicules paired with centella give skin a light, prickly massage as you apply, refining rough patches and dead skin for a smoother, more even look. Niacinamide and macadamia oil keep it soft and bright. Use it first, right after cleansing.

How to use

First step, every evening

  1. 1

    Cleanse

    Wash your face and pat it dry.

  2. 2

    Pump

    Dispense a pump of the milky serum onto your fingertips.

  3. 3

    Massage

    Smooth it over the face and massage gently until absorbed. A light prickle is the spicules at work.

  4. 4

    Layer

    Follow with your usual toner, serum and cream. In the morning, always finish with sunscreen.

Smoother skin, step by step

A gentle daily prep that refines rough texture and readies skin for everything that follows.

Good to know

  • A slight tingling, redness or warmth after use is normal, per VT; the spicules shed from skin within 24 hours. Skip it on broken or irritated skin.
  • New to Reedle Shot? VT suggests starting at 50 or 100 and moving up the levels only as your skin adapts.
  • VT recommends it for evening use. Wear sunscreen during the day.
  • Contains propolis, a bee product.
  • Comes in 30 mL and 50 mL; English or Korean packaging is sent at random.
