VT COSMETICS Mild Reedle Shot 50 Review UK

Verdict

The mildest strength in VT's range, and the most sensible first step if you want to try spicules at all. The formula adds aloe and astaxanthin to the niacinamide, hyaluronic acid and centella base. As with the rest of the range, independent evidence for visible results is limited.

Best for

First-time spicule users and sensitive-feeling skin that is otherwise healthy.

Less suitable for

Broken skin, active flares and recently treated skin. It is not a substitute for clinic treatment of deep scars.

On the formulation we hold, it is best suited to first-time spicule users and sensitive-feeling skin that is otherwise healthy. It is less suitable for broken skin, active flares and recently treated skin. It is not a substitute for clinic treatment of deep scars.

Mild Reedle Shot 50: what to expect

By the Korean PDRN editorial team · research-based, not a hands-on test · Updated 30/10/2026

VT positions this as the gentle entry point to the Reedle Shot range, with amino acids swapped for aloe, glyceryl glucoside and astaxanthin on its ingredient list. Silica is listed further down than in the 100 and 300.

The source of the silica is not stated on VT's list, so ask the brand if you avoid animal-derived ingredients.

A lower number is a range label, not a measured dose. Read more in our spicule serum guide.

Precautions

Do not use with beauty devices or LED masks, straight after dermatological procedures, or on broken skin. Do not use on the same day as another Reedle Shot strength. Tingling is expected; persistent burning, swelling or rash is not, so stop if that happens. Avoid the eyes and lips. Lists propolis and macadamia seed oil, so avoid if you are allergic to bee products or nuts. Use sunscreen the next day.
