What does it do and how is it different from other skincare products? We’re answering all your burning questions about the Reedle Shot to show you why you need it on your skincare shelf and how it can help you achieve your dream skin. Plus, we introduce you to the extended Reedle Shot family to show you how the revolutionary microneedle ingredient can fit into all steps of your routine. Keep scrolling for all the details.


What is the Reedle Shot 100?

The product that started it all: the Reedle Shot 100. This one-of-a-kind booster consists of 95,000 Cica Reedles, a type of microneedle 14 times thinner than the pores that are coated with Cica. They penetrate the skin to deliver active ingredients, like a Centella 4X Complex, Hyaluronic Acid and Green Propolis extract, to the deeper layers of the dermis, working as an at-home solution that offers the efficacy of a professional treatment.

Not only does it encourage the absorption of succeeding steps of the skincare routine, it also tackles rough and textured skin that may be suffering from breakouts or a loss of elasticity. Fit for all skin types including sensitive skin, the end result is a soft, smooth and refined complexion that glows from within.


How to use the Reedle Shot 100

The booster is intended to be used on clean and dry skin in the PM, before toner or other boosters. This is because the Reedle Shot acts as a gentle exfoliator to support the absorption of other skincare products. There will be a slight tingling sensation upon applying it that becomes less noticeable as your skin gets used to the microneedles. They are naturally sloughed off from the skin within 72 hours.

Make sure to load up on hydration after applying it, and slather on your SPF in the daytime to avoid inducing irritation. Due to the booster’s active nature, it is not recommended to be used with skincare devices, after dermatological procedures, or on wounded skin.


Which Reedle Shot should I use?

The Reedle Shot 100 is just one booster option from the extensive Reedle Shot family. It’s the starting point of which you should start your Reedle Shot journey with; as your skin gets more familiar with the booster and you start to see glowing results, you can choose to progress on that journey with stronger concentrations of Reedle Shot 300, Reedle Shot 700 or 1000. The higher the number, the stronger the dosage of Reedle Shot that will propel you towards stronger skin.

For those with ultra-sensitive skin, try out the Mild Reedle Shot 50. This is a milder formulation of the OG booster that is just as hydrating and nourishing to deliver active ingredients to the skin. It’s also suitable for use in the AM, a key difference between the 50 and the stronger formulas.
