Reedle Shot 100
Microneedle serum that tingles on application; effective for texture but may irritate sensitive skin.
Verdict
VT Cosmetics Reedle Shot 100 causes immediate stinging and redness for some — board-certified dermatologist Dr. Jenny Liu reports her skin turned red and she is "not a big fan of anything that causes sting." However, chemistry PhD Lab Muffin Beauty Science describes only "mild tingling" and found it soothing with daily use, noting smaller pores and smoother skin. Professional makeup artist CYoung recommends it but warns it can worsen redness for those prone to it, while Beauty Within calls it a favorite for achieving "porcelain smooth skin."

Full reviews
This one I like because it's 100.
It doesn't feel too uncomfortable.
You definitely feel the little prickliness.26:47–26:53
This is a really nice serum that I personally enjoy using.28:37–28:48
The spicules aren't too high.28:44–28:48
I'm a firm believer that you cannot change the size of your pores, but you can, however, refine how it looks based on how clean your pores are or how tightened your skin is.12:12–12:17
These hydrate with Santella Aciatica extract and hyaluronic acid. So, there's no irritation.12:23–12:30
And even though you feel it working, like when you spread it onto the skin, it feels a little tingly, a little bit needlelike, you do get used to it. I promise you.12:30–12:34
I love it and I've kept these within my skincare routine because of the dramatic texture and dark spot decrease that I have seen within my skin.12:46–12:54
I saw the most dramatic results whenever I started implementing these products.13:06–13:10
Holy grails for sure, for sure in my skincare routine.13:26–13:32
I really do think that these played a huge role in my skin becoming more smooth and having more balanced, less irritated skin.13:34–13:41
I did try actually layering it on my hand and I'll tell you it stung and my skin turned red immediately.14:36–14:41
If you have super sensitive skin and your skin barrier is damaged, definitely is not something that you want to immediately use on your skin.
Some people on social media swear by it and make their skin better.
I'll be honest I haven't used it enough to really kind of give me my final verdict but I'll tell you I'm not a big fan of anything that causes sting and burning sensation on my skin.15:30–15:39
I personally was not a big fan of this serum.15:05–15:09
I think the serum is one of those where I personally feel like it could be a hit or miss it just depends on your skin.
This looks and behaves just like a regular serum until you start rubbing it in and that's when you start feeling a bit of mild tingling.1:34–1:48
I've personally found it very soothing even while using it daily.2:07–2:10
I found that this is making my pores look a bit smaller it's really smoothing my skin out and giving me closer to that sort of glass skin look.2:48–2:57
I think this is a really nice safe starter product that's not too hard to incorporate into your routine and I think it's really cool to have a product that is truly innovative.3:18–3:29
I still to this day use my RLES. I love them. I stand behind them.1:40–1:48
My favorites are still the 100 and 300.
I typically, to be honest, use more of the 100 because it's just flexible and you can use it with anything.1:58–2:03
The original 100 seeker is probably you can feel it, right? It's like a three out of 10.4:55–5:03
