VT Cosmetics is a Korean brand that transitioned from oral care into advanced skincare and makeup, gaining international recognition for developing home-based alternatives to professional clinical treatments, specifically through its proprietary CICA REEDLE™ technology.
They’re known for micro-spicule technology, often referred to as microneedling in a bottle, which uses needle-like structures designed to stimulate skin renewal and create pathways that allow subsequent toners, serums, and moisturisers to penetrate more effectively.
Their Reedle Shot range is offered in varying strengths to accommodate different skin tolerances and experience levels, whilst bestsellers like the Reedle Shot 100 and the Lifting Eye Cream highlight the brand’s focus on enhancing the efficiency of a standard daily routine.
VT Reti-A Reedle Shot 100 2-Step Hydrogel Mask:
A two-step retinoid essence and hydrogel mask that leaves skin looking smoother, firmer and more refined.
This evening treatment is for skin that looks rough, uneven or less firm. It pairs a retinoid essence with a cooling hydrogel mask to refine the look of pores and texture and restore a clear, radiant-looking complexion.
- Step one is the Reti-A Reedle Shot 100 essence, built on VT’s CicaReedle technology. Fine silica spicules gently exfoliate and help the essence absorb evenly. At its centre is Reti-A, a retinoid complex of Retinol and Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate. Bakuchiol supports it, along with a tannin complex for the look of pores and VT’s Cica-Hyalon complex to keep skin calm and hydrated
- Step two, the Tightening Hydrogel Mask, is a concentrated pore-conditioning ampoule set into gel. It sits closely against the skin, giving cooling hydration while helping skin look firmer and smoother
Wear it for 30 minutes for a quick smoothing boost, or overnight for a more intensive treatment. With regular use, skin looks clearer, more even and renewed.
Key benefits:
- Suitable for most skin types, particularly dull, rough or uneven-looking skin
- Smooths the look and feel of rough texture
- Minimises the appearance of enlarged pores
- Helps skin look firmer and more supple
- Hydrates and comforts skin while using retinoids
How to use:
Use in the evening, after cleansing and toning.
- Step 1: Smooth a few drops of essence over the face and allow to absorb
- Step 2: Place the hydrogel mask over the face. Leave it on for at least 30 minutes, until it turns fully transparent, or overnight. Remove the mask, pat in any remaining essence, then follow with moisturiser
Suitable for daily use. Do not use in the same routine as other Reedle Shot products, with a skincare device, or after a cosmetic procedure. If you have sensitive skin, patch test before use. Use a broad-spectrum SPF during the day.
