Cosmetics is an industry that advances by leaps and bounds. The function of, for example, a night cream, goes far beyond hydrating the skin. Cutting-edge technologies, innovative formulations, and formats that explore maximizing the potential of each product are at the forefront of new cosmetics. And a very good example of this is this serum we want to talk to you about today.
This is one of the latest beauty revolutions and aims to achieve the greatest possible lifting effect without the help of a scalpel. Forget cosmetic tweaks or going under the knife; this product, which is taking off among fans of Korean cosmetics, is the solution to all your problems.
We’re talking about the Reedle Shot from VT Cosmetics, a Korean line that has managed to encapsulate microneedling technology in a bottle (yes, with real micro-needles) to achieve an immediate lifting effect from home and without needing expert hands. Interesting, right?
How a microneedling serum works
But, what does this type of formula consist of? When we talk about microneedles, we are not referring to those used for tattoos nor those used at a medical level. In this case, the microneedles in these serums are made from Centella asiatica extract, a star ingredient in Korean cosmetics. And no, it doesn’t hurt.
The skin perfect for Koreans.
«You will feel a slight tingling when applying it, but nothing you can’t bear. It’s like a reminder that the serum is working on the skin«, explains pharmacist Karla Pires, quality manager at Planet Skin. A small effect that is worth it if you’re looking for faster and more effective results.
And indeed, with, at minimum, around 38,000 microneedles per bottle, depending on the microneedle length, serums of this kind gently penetrate the skin, creating tiny channels that allow the actives to reach beyond the surface. In this way, you ensure much greater effectiveness than any other cosmetic product.
«One of the things we value most at Planet Skin is that the Reedle Shot line offers different levels of microneedles: 50, 100, 300 and 700 microns. This allows both beginners and people with prior experience to choose the one that best fits their needs and tolerance», explains pharmacist Karla Pires.
The beginner microneedling serum is sold for 19.42 euros at Planet Skin.
Would you like to try its multiple benefits? If this is your first time with microneedles or you have sensitive skin, the best option is to start with Reedle Shot 50 or 100, which is the perfect starting point. With shorter microneedles, use is superficial but highly effective, ideal for improving texture, hydration, and radiance without harming the skin.
You can apply it two to three times per week and you should do it across the entire face, including delicate areas such as the cheeks or the eye contour (always avoiding mucous membranes and the movable eyelid). Additionally, experts recommend combining it with other serums that are hydrating and soothing, such as those containing hyaluronic acid or Centella asiatica.
