How to Layer VT Reedle Shot 100 in Your Night Routine

Quick answer

Apply VT Reedle Shot 100 after cleansing and toning, but before serums and moisturizers. Use it 2–3 times per week, starting with the 100 version if you are new to microneedling-inspired products. Do not use it on the same night as strong actives like retinol or AHAs.

Step-by-Step Night Routine with VT Reedle Shot 100

1. Step 1: Double Cleanse: Start with an oil-based cleanser to remove makeup and sunscreen, then follow with a water-based cleanser. Pat your face dry. Common mistake: applying Reedle Shot on skin with leftover residue. The particles need a completely clean surface to work.
2. Step 2: Tone: Apply your regular toner to rebalance pH and lightly hydrate. Wait until the toner is fully absorbed. Checkpoint: if your toner contains strong exfoliating acids, skip it on Reedle Shot nights to avoid over-exfoliation.
3. Step 3: Apply VT Reedle Shot 100: Shake the vial gently. Dispense 2–3 drops onto your fingertips and pat evenly across your face, avoiding the eye area. Do not rub or massage vigorously. Common mistake: using too much product. A thin, even layer is sufficient — more product does not mean better results.
4. Step 4: Wait 1–2 Minutes: Allow the formula to absorb. You may feel a mild tingling sensation — this is normal and indicates the particles are working. Checkpoint: if the tingling is uncomfortable or persists longer than 5 minutes, rinse off and reduce frequency to once a week.
5. Step 5: Apply Serum: Follow with your preferred serum (e.g., hydrating, brightening, or peptide-based). Avoid retinol or strong actives on the same night. Common mistake: layering retinol or AHA/BHA immediately after. This can cause irritation. Use Reedle Shot on separate nights from strong exfoliants.
6. Step 6: Moisturize: Seal everything with a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer. For extra hydration, add a sleeping mask or facial oil. Checkpoint: if your skin feels dry the next morning, increase hydration steps rather than skipping the Reedle Shot.

Product Fact

• VT Reedle Shot 100 (2ml x 6): VT Cosmetics Reedle Shot 100 Essence is a gentle exfoliator designed to soften rough skin, reduce pore size, and remove dead skin cells, enhancing deep and efficient absorption of subsequent products. It uses derma technology called Cica Reedle™ featuring micro-sized, naturally derived particles that facilitate absorption while gently stimulating the skin. This means the product works best when applied to clean, toned skin before heavier creams or oils, so its particles can reach the skin surface without a barrier.
