TasTheStuff review for Reedle Shot 100

I have seen this all over my socials and was wondering what the hype was - and NOW I get it. I’m so excited and pleased to have incorporated a new skincare product that I will be using in my skincare routine. This isn’t like any other skincare item in my collection, and I will be looking more from this brand in the future. This is the VT Cosmetics Reedle Shot 100, an essence that is meant to mimic microneedling treatment. Rest assured, there is no needles involved. Out of the three concentrations I’ve tested, this is the most mild and tolerable formulation. I have seen improvements in my skin as little as two weeks, which honestly was impressive for me. Some of my acne marks faded away completely, which I haven’t been able to get rid of for years. This product now will remain in my rotation for years to come. Here’s some of the many reasons why I was interested in the Reedle Shot 100: 🌱 I’m actually scared of needles (funnily enough, because my professional work involves dealing with needles on most days), and I was actually under the assumption this was applied using microneedles. Safe to say, its none of that. No needles, better for me. 🌱 From the set of three I got, I prefer this one the most. It is the 100, weakest concentration, and it’s good enough to apply on a daily basis. Though, I prefer applying every other day due to the sensation alone, which I will explain in the next bullet point. 🌱 When applying this, I did feel a stinging and tingling sensation. As someone with sensitive skin, of course I was initially worried. However, I noticed that only when I touch my face do I feel the stinging sensation. When left along as first part of skincare routine after washing my face, I don’t feel anything, as long as I’m not putting pressure or touching my face. 🌱 This contains cica reedles, which look like microscopic needles. This is what causes the tingling sensation. This particular ingredient helps shed off dead skin over time, which increases cell turnover rate and results in healthier, brighter skin tone. 🌱 The Reedle Shot 100 contains multiple skincare goodies and no bad ingredients at all. Trust me, I checked it thoroughly. It also makes sense to why this product is so popular. Some of the honorable ingredients to mention include: - Centella Aisatica Extract (an antioxidant that doubles as anti-inflammatory agent for eczema) - Madecassoside (an antioxidant that comes from Centella Asiatica that helps with skin soothing as well - Niacinamide for skin brightening - Glycerin, sodium hyaluronate for hydration of the skin - Glycine for improving wrinkles - Serine as a water binding ingredient (enhances the effect of ngredients that promote hydration - Arginine for speeding up wound healing and is a primary building block of skin collagen - Isoleucine as a skin barrier repair ingredient - Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil, which comes from Macadamia nut and is loaded with nourishing fatty acids 🌱 Note, when wearing this, it’s HIGHLY recommended to wear sunscreen after applying this. Your skin will be in a sensitive state and you want to make sure to take care of it. 🌱 Because it mimics a microneedling experience, do not use any external skincare device or LED mask. I would focus on keeping your skin hydrated while this product works to repair your skin. Overall, I rate this a solid 5/5. I don’t think I encountered such a product I liked that is different from what’s usually found on the market. I also like that I’m already seeing effects from this product on my face.
