Original caption

The Reedle Shot myth everyone gets wrong? Tingling does not automatically mean skin damage. In this video, I’m breaking down what spicules actually are, why VT Cosmetics Reedle Shot feels prickly, why it is not fiberglass, and how to build up gradually without wrecking your skin barrier. Think of it as active performance skincare: start low, recover well, and stay consistent. #VTCosmetics #PDRN #VeganPDRN #Microneedling #reedleshot

Product placement

VT Reedle Shot ACTS: it is a skincare product that is applied to the skin to improve its texture and tone. Its spicules interact with the stratum corneum to support skincare ingredient penetration. Removing it would change the video's topic and demonstration. The video mentions "VT Cosmetics" as the brand. The video also shows a graphic with "REEDLE SHOT 100" and "Cica Reedle™".

Spicules are dangerous!! Do the spicules in reedle shot stay in my skin forever? They stay in your skin forever. Are they basically fiberglass? It's basically fiberglass. Is reedle shot actually putting needles in my skin??? What's actually true and is the VT reedle shot worth the hype? Now, let's answer the biggest question: Are you actually injecting needles into your skin? No, it's nothing like that at all. You're not injecting anything into your skin. And it's not like an office micro needling. These micro-fine spicules temporarily interact with your stratum corneum, which is that top layer of your skin that acts as the skin barrier. Think of reedle shot like a serum, but also has physical activation that really supports skincare ingredient penetration. Another misunderstanding is that these spicules stay in your skin forever. And that's not true. And the brand actually has done clinical testing using fluorescent markers to look at where the spicules land in the skin and how long they stay in the skin. The spicules in your skin are barely there after 24 hours. Lastly, is it worth the hype? In my mind, yes. When used correctly, you can definitely improve skin texture and skin tone. As long as you have an understanding of the product and how to best use it. HAVE MORE QUESTIONS? LEAVE THEM IN THE COMMENTS.
