VT COSMETICS Mild Reedle Shot 100 2-Step Mask

The VT Reedle Shot 100 2-Step Mask is designed to improve skin texture, refine pores, and enhance the absorption of other skincare ingredients. It's a dual-action treatment that combines a "microneedling-like" essence with a soothing and hydrating sheet mask.

It consists of two main parts:

Step 1: Reedle Shot 100: This is an ampoule containing what VT calls "CICA Reedles" (specifically, 95,000 CICA Reedles in the 100 version). These are tiny, micro-sized mineral-derived particles (often described as spicules, similar to sea sponges) that are much smaller than pores. When applied, they are designed to gently stimulate the skin, creating micro-channels that help improve the penetration of active ingredients. You might feel a mild tingling or prickly sensation upon application, which is normal as the "reedles" work.

Step 2: Reedle Shot Balance Mask: After the Reedle Shot 100 is absorbed, a vegan sheet mask is applied. This mask is typically formulated with soothing and moisturizing ingredients to calm the skin and lock in hydration, complementing the effects of the Reedle Shot.

Key Benefits:

• Enhanced Absorption of Skincare Actives: This is one of the primary benefits. By creating tiny pathways in the skin, the Reedle Shot 100 helps subsequent skincare products penetrate deeper and work more effectively.
• Improved Skin Texture: The gentle stimulation and exfoliation from the CICA Reedles can lead to smoother, more refined skin texture. Users often report their skin feeling softer.
• Pore Refinement: It helps to minimize the appearance of enlarged pores. Soothing and Calming: Despite the "microneedling-like" effect, the mask portion often contains CICA (Centella Asiatica) and other soothing ingredients to calm the skin and reduce potential irritation.
• Hydration and Moisture: The sheet mask in the second step delivers rich moisturizing ingredients, helping to hydrate and plump the skin.
• Anti-Aging Benefits: By promoting cell turnover and potentially stimulating collagen production, it can contribute to a more youthful and radiant complexion, helping to address concerns like fine lines and dullness.
• Suitable for Various Skin Types: Many formulations are designed to be suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin, though a patch test is always recommended due to the stimulating nature of the "reedles."

How to use:

1. After cleansing your face, apply Step 1 Reedle Shot 100 in circular motions on clean and dry face.
2. Apply Step 2 Reedle Shot Balance Mask onto the skin once Step 1 is fully absorbed.
3. Leave on for 10-20 minutes and gently pat the remaining essence until absorbed.

Important:

• A slight tingling sensation is normal due to the reedles.
• Reedle Shot 100 masks are typically used once or twice a week, or as directed on the product packaging. It's best to use this mask in the evening
• Always use a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) every morning, especially when using products that promote cell turnover, as your skin may be more sensitive to the sun.
