If you’ve been following K-beauty lately, you’ve probably seen VT Reedle Shot popping up everywhere—and flying off the shelves at Daiso. But with 100, 300, and 500 options to choose from, figuring out which strength is right for you—and when to use it—can get confusing fast.
Here’s your easy-to-follow guide to the VT Reedle Shot lineup, including how the different strengths compare and where to fit Reedle Shot into your skincare routine.
What Is VT Reedle Shot?
VT Reedle Shot is a skin-texture booster formulated with micro-spicules—tiny, needle-like structures designed to create microscopic pathways on the skin’s surface.
- Sensation: You’ll likely feel a slight prickling sensation when you apply it. This is a normal part of the Reedle Shot experience.
- Intended use: It’s designed to help improve the look of uneven texture and pores while supporting the absorption of the skincare products you apply afterward.
- For sensitive skin: Start with a small amount and space out applications to give your skin time to adjust. If your skin feels irritated, take a break rather than pushing through it.
Reedle Shot 100 vs. 300 vs. 500: Finding Your Match
The numbers indicate the relative strength of the formula. As the number goes up, the prickling sensation generally becomes more noticeable, so it’s best to build up gradually rather than jumping straight to a higher strength.
| Feature | Reedle Shot 100 | Reedle Shot 300 | Reedle Shot 500 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Skill Level | Beginner-friendly | Intermediate | Advanced |
| Intensity | Mild tingle | Moderate sting | Strong prickling sensation |
| Best For | First-timers & regular use | Those ready to step up from 100 | Experienced users |
| Usage | Regular use, depending on skin tolerance | 2–3 times a week | About once a week / occasional intensive care |
- Reedle Shot 100: The easiest place to start. It offers a relatively mild tingling sensation, making it a good option for first-time users.
- Reedle Shot 300: Consider stepping up once you’ve built up a good tolerance to 100 and want a more intensive approach to skin texture.
- Reedle Shot 500: The most intense option of the three. It’s better suited to experienced users and should be avoided when your skin feels irritated, sensitive, or compromised.
How to Layer Reedle Shot in Your Skincare Routine
One of the most important things to know about Reedle Shot is when to apply it. For the standard routine, apply it after cleansing and before toner, serum, or other skincare products.
Step-by-Step Routine:
- Cleanser: Wash your face and gently pat it dry.
- VT Reedle Shot: Apply a thin, even layer to clean, dry skin before applying other products.
- Toner: Add hydration after applying Reedle Shot.
- Essence / Serum / Ampoule: Continue with the rest of your routine.
- Lotion / Emulsion: Add another layer of lightweight moisture if needed.
- Moisturizer / Cream: Finish by sealing in moisture and supporting your skin barrier.
Ready to give the trend a try? Start with Reedle Shot 100, pay attention to how your skin responds, and only consider moving up in strength once you’re comfortable with it. With Reedle Shot, more isn’t necessarily better—the right strength is the one your skin can actually handle.
