Reedle Shot — "microneedling in a bottle": what it is and how to use it

If you've seen people on TikTok talking about a serum that "tingles a bit" and gives post-clinic skin — this is it. VT Cosmetics' Reedle Shot is the most viral K-Beauty product of 2026, and we stock the original in Albania.

What is Reedle Shot?

A serum with thousands of natural micro-spicules called Cica Reedle — smaller than a pore. When massaged into the skin, they create temporary micro-channels in the surface. Through these channels, active ingredients (centella, hyaluronic acid, vitamins) reach the deeper layers — where regular serums never get.

Simply put: the effect of a clinic microneedling treatment, without needles, pain, or downtime — and without the clinic price.

How does it feel?

A light tingle, like a fine prickling — this is normal and means the reedles are working. It lasts a few minutes. Skin may look slightly flushed for a short while; that's why it's used at night.

How to use it — the exact steps

1. Evening, after cleansing, on dry skin.
2. A small amount (1–2 pumps) massaged over the whole face, avoiding the eye area.
3. Don't combine it with strong acids or retinol on the same night.
4. Follow with a calming cream: Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream is the ideal pairing — it soothes instantly.
5. SPF is mandatory the next morning — skin is more sensitive after use: Dr. Althea Green Tea Fresh Sunscreen.

What the numbers mean: 100, 300, 700

The number is the reedle density — the higher, the more intensive:

• 100 — beginner level: gentle, can be used every night. Everyone starts here.
• 300 — medium intensity, 2–3 times a week.
• 700 — intensive weekly treatment, for skin that's used to it.

We stock VT Reedle Shot 100 — the right starting point for every skin type.

Who it's for (and who it isn't)

Yes: enlarged pores, rough texture, post-acne marks, dull skin that "doesn't absorb" products anymore.

Not yet: skin with active flare-ups, eczema, strong rosacea, or open wounds. If your skin is very sensitive, start with calming first — centella asiatica is step one.

What to use after

Reedle Shot opens the channels — whatever you apply next absorbs deeper. That's why the smartest pairing is a regenerating essence like VT PDRN Essence 100 (on non-Reedle nights) or a pore ampoule like SKIN1004 Poremizing Fresh Ampoule.
