The Reedle Shot from VT Cosmetics is one of the best-known products with spikules in Korean skincare. This technology is specifically used to promote skin regeneration , refine skin texture , and improve the absorption of active ingredients .
In this guide we explain what Spikules are, how the Reedle Shot works, what advantages it offers and what to pay attention to when using it.
What are Spikules?
Spicules are microscopic, needle-shaped structures obtained from mineral components of marine or freshwater sponges.
In cosmetics, they function as a physical transport system that guides active ingredients in a controlled manner into the upper layers of the skin.
The Reedle Shot from VT Cosmetics utilizes precisely this effect – without injections or medical procedures.
How effective is the Reedle Shot from VT Cosmetics?
After application, the spikules create fine microchannels in the skin. This triggers several processes:
-
improved absorption of active ingredients
-
Activation of natural skin renewal
-
Support for regenerative processes
-
visibly refined skin texture
The skin is specifically stimulated to renew itself – an effect that is often perceived as a slight tingling sensation.
