Take the skin test and I'll show you how suitable this product is for you.
Take the skin testIntroducing VT Cosmetics Reedle Shot 100 Stick Pouch, a luxurious Step Zero evening ampoule designed to refine texture, reduce visible pores, and reveal glass-skin radiance using VT’s patented CICA REEDLE™ spicule technology (14× thinner than pores) to gently clear keratin and boost absorption of powerful actives. This micro-needle treatment harnesses a stable Reti-A Complex, featuring Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate and pure Retinol, and Bakuchiol, a plant-derived retinol alternative, to promote skin renewal, elasticity, and smoothness with minimal irritation. Enriched with CICAHYALON™, the formula supports firming, hydration, and pore care while delivering a lightweight, dewy emulsion that absorbs seamlessly.
Reedle Shot 100 Stick Pouch is a lightweight serum from VT Cosmetics, a brand based in Korea. The formula is built mainly around hydration. The ingredient list runs to 43 ingredients, each broken down in full below.
By its ingredient list the formula reads as light: water and humectants lead, with emollients kept lower in the order. Hydration is handled by Glycerin, Butylene Glycol and Ethylhexylglycerin, humectants that pull water into the upper layers of skin rather than sealing it there.
Hydration: High. Ingredients that pull and hold water in the upper layers of skin, and here that comes from Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin and Sodium Hyaluronate.
Soothing: Moderate. Ingredients aimed at visible redness and reactivity, and here that comes from Centella Asiatica Extract, Asiaticoside, Madecassoside and Niacinamide.
Oil control: Moderate. Ingredients that moderate sebum or absorb shine, and here that comes from Niacinamide, Silica and Sodium Polyacrylate.
Barrier support: Moderate. Lipids and repair signals that support skin barrier integrity, and here that comes from Niacinamide and Madecassoside.
On richness alone it suits Balanced, Combination (oily) and Oily skin best, and is the least natural fit for Dry and Combination (dry) skin. Nothing in the list is flagged as a common irritant, which is a reasonable starting point for reactive skin — though a patch test is still the only way to know.
The formula contributes little or nothing on antioxidant protection, cell renewal and firmness signalling. That is not a fault — most products are not meant to do everything — but if one of those is your priority, this is not the product that will address it.
Reading the full list, the formula is fragrance-free, essential-oil-free, no drying alcohol, paraben-free, silicone-free and microplastic-free. Those claims come from the ingredient list itself, not from the packaging.
It can be used morning and evening. In a routine it goes after toner, before moisturiser. Apply to clean, dry skin and give it a minute to absorb before the next layer. Introduce one new treatment at a time so you can identify what is working.
This summary is generated from the product's ingredient list. It is not a review, it is not the brand's own marketing claims, and it does not replace advice from a dermatologist.
Drawn purely from the ingredient list
Scored on how rich or light the formula reads from its INCI order.
No ingredient in this formula carries a common-irritant flag, making it a reasonable option for reactive skin. A patch test is still recommended, as individual skin reactivity varies.
