VT COSMETICS Reedle Shot 100 Review UK

Verdict

VT's everyday strength and the usual starting point after the Mild 50. It pairs silica needle-like particles with niacinamide, hyaluronic acid and centella. Expect a prickling feel. Independent trials of this product for wrinkles or scars are lacking, so treat smoother texture as plausible rather than proven.

Best for

People trying spicule serums for the first time or moving up from the Mild 50, on healthy, unbroken skin.

Less suitable for

Active acne, eczema or rosacea flares, recently treated skin, and people using prescription retinoids without their prescriber's agreement.

Who this suits

VT COSMETICS Reedle Shot 100 is a serum supplied in a 50ml size in pump bottle. Texture: Serum-cream with needle-like particles that cause a prickling feeling. On the formulation we hold, it is best suited to people trying spicule serums for the first time or moving up from the Mild 50, on healthy, unbroken skin. It is less suitable for active acne, eczema or rosacea flares, recently treated skin, and people using prescription retinoids without their prescriber's agreement. Manufacturer usage guidance: For evening skincare, apply an appropriate amount to bare skin after cleansing and spread gently with your fingers. Once absorbed, follow with moisturising skincare. VT says it can be used every day, but not with Reedle Shot 300 or 700 on the same day.

Reedle Shot 100: what to expect

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

This is the best-known product in VT's Reedle Shot range. VT's own ingredient list shows niacinamide high up, with silica, sodium hyaluronate, centella and its actives, propolis and a blend of amino acids.

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

The prickle shows the particles are in the skin, not that the product is working better. For how the strengths compare and who should avoid them, read our spicule serum guide.

How to use

For evening skincare, apply an appropriate amount to bare skin after cleansing and spread gently with your fingers. Once absorbed, follow with moisturising skincare. VT says it can be used every day, but not with Reedle Shot 300 or 700 on the same day.

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.
