What is VT Cosmetics Reedle Shot 100?
VT Cosmetics Reedle Shot 100 is a cica booster essence from the Korean brand VT Cosmetics, and the gentlest step in its Reedle Shot range. Alongside centella asiatica, madecassoside and hyaluronic acid, it carries tiny, needle-shaped micro-spicules called Cica Reedle. When you press the essence into your skin, those spicules create a light prickly sensation and help the rest of the formula sink in, which is why the brand calls it a skin booster rather than a plain serum.
The number tells you the strength. 100 is the starter level: the lightest dose of spicules, designed for people trying micro-spicule skincare for the first time or for skin that reacts easily. It is meant to be used as an early step, straight after cleansing, so that the products you layer afterwards absorb more evenly.
Is VT Reedle Shot good?
For most people who want smoother texture and a fresher, more even look without jumping into strong acids, yes. It gives a noticeable feel on the skin, absorbs quickly and pairs easily with simple routines. It is not a quick fix, and it is not for everyone: if you dislike any tingling or your skin is currently broken or sunburnt, a plain centella serum will feel kinder.
VT Cosmetics Reedle Shot 100 benefits: what it does for your skin
Think of Reedle Shot 100 as a texture and absorption booster with a calming base. Used regularly, these are the changes people tend to notice.
Smoother-feeling skin and tidier-looking pores
The micro-spicules help loosen the dull, rough layer on the surface, so skin feels softer to the touch and pores on the nose and cheeks look less crowded over a few weeks.
Better absorption of your next steps
Because the spicules open tiny channels in the top layer, the moisturiser or serum you apply afterwards spreads and settles more easily. That is why it is used straight after cleansing.
A calmer, more comfortable base
Centella asiatica, madecassoside and propolis bring a soothing, cica-style finish that helps the skin stay comfortable once the tingling fades, while hyaluronic acid and macadamia seed oil add light hydration.
VT Cosmetics Reedle Shot 100 key ingredients
| Ingredient | What it does |
|---|---|
| Cica Reedle (micro-spicules) | Creates the prickly feel and helps the formula absorb |
| Centella asiatica extract + madecassoside | Soothes and supports the skin barrier |
| Hyaluronic acid | Draws water into the surface for a plumper feel |
| Niacinamide | Helps skin look more even and refined |
| Macadamia seed oil | Adds softness so the skin does not feel tight |
The formula also carries a long list of amino acids and adenosine, which support a smooth, hydrated feel. There is no harsh acid in it, so the exfoliating effect comes from the spicules rather than from chemical peeling.
Is VT Cosmetics Reedle Shot 100 good for acne and acne scars?
Is it good for acne?
It can help skin that has small bumps, rough patches and congested pores feel smoother, and the cica base keeps things calm. It is not an acne treatment, though, and you should keep it away from open, inflamed spots, where the spicules can sting. Pair it with a gentle cleanser and, if you need one, a dedicated spot treatment on other nights.
Is it good for acne scars?
For flat red or brown marks left behind after breakouts, regular use helps skin look more even and refined, especially alongside daily sunscreen. Deeper, pitted scars change shape in the skin itself, and no essence can rebuild that; a dermatologist can advise on in-clinic options for those.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
Level 100 was made with first-timers and reactive skin in mind, which makes it the safest way to try Reedle Shot. Start slowly, and if your skin stays red or stings long after applying, stop and return to a simpler serum.
Who should patch-test first or skip it
Skip it on broken, peeling or sunburnt skin, and on any night you have used a peel, strong acid or retinoid. Patch-test on the jawline for two or three evenings first if you are new to micro-spicules.
How to use VT Cosmetics Reedle Shot 100 (morning and night)
In your evening routine
- Cleanse and pat your face dry.
- Press a small amount gently into your skin with flat fingers, keeping clear of the eye and lip area; patting works better than rubbing.
- Give the tingle a few minutes to fade.
- Finish with a simple, fragrance-free moisturiser.
How often should you use it?
Start with two or three evenings a week, then build up to daily use if your skin is happy. The brand's guidance allows daily use of level 100, but there is no prize for rushing. Do not layer it with Reedle Shot 300 or 700 in the same routine.
Can you use it in the morning?
You can, once your skin is used to it, but evenings are the easier start because there is no makeup or sun exposure straight afterwards. If you use it in the day, a broad-spectrum sunscreen is essential.
What to pair it with, and what to avoid
It sits well with hydrating and soothing steps such as a light niacinamide serum on alternate nights. Keep retinoids such as the celimax Retinol Shot, strong vitamin C and acid exfoliants for different nights so your skin is not doing too much at once.
VT Cosmetics Reedle Shot 100 results: how long until you see a difference?
The soft, fresh feel shows up after the first few uses. Smoother texture and a more even look usually take three to six weeks of regular evenings, and pores tend to look tidier at around the same time. Results depend on consistency, so a steady routine beats occasional heavy use.
Does VT Cosmetics Reedle Shot 100 have side effects?
A tingling, warm or prickly sensation for a few minutes after application is normal and expected; it is how the spicules feel. Mild pinkness that fades quickly is also common at first. Lasting redness, burning, swelling or a rash are not normal: rinse with cool water, stop using it and let your skin recover before trying again more slowly.
VT Cosmetics Reedle Shot 100 vs 300 vs 700: which level do you need?
| Level | Strength | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 100 | Gentlest | First-timers, sensitive or reactive skin, daily use |
| 300 | Medium | Skin already used to 100 that wants more texture care |
| 700 | Strongest | Experienced users with resilient skin, used less often |
Choose 100 if this is your first Reedle Shot or your skin reacts easily. Move up to the VT Reedle Shot 300 once 100 feels comfortable every evening and you want a stronger effect. The higher levels are not a replacement for patience: going straight to the top strength is the most common reason people give up on micro-spicule care.

Original vs fake VT Cosmetics Reedle Shot 100: how to check
Micro-spicule products are copied often because they sell well. On a genuine bottle the printing is crisp and aligned, the Korean and English text on the box matches, and there is a batch number and expiry date printed on the pack. The essence itself should feel lightly prickly once pressed into the skin; a copy that feels like plain gel or burns intensely is a warning sign.
The surest route is the seller. YESBEAUTY is an authentic seller of VT Cosmetics in Pakistan, and every bottle here is sourced directly from VT Cosmetics' official distribution channels in Seoul, Korea. If a product we sell is ever found inauthentic, it is covered by our 7-day return guarantee; read more in our authenticity promise.
Using VT Cosmetics Reedle Shot 100 in Pakistan's heat and humidity
In hot, humid months skin can feel more sensitive to tingling, so keep the rest of the routine light: a gel moisturiser at night and a lightweight sunscreen in the morning. Store the bottle away from direct sun and car dashboards, close the cap tightly, and use it within the period shown on the pack once opened.
