As someone that used to do actual microneedling, the VT reedle shots are a God send! I don't need to prep, sanitize & all the other xtra steps. Now that I'm older, I love the idea of the skincare products, actually absorbing deeper into the skin (that gives me joy, haha). I get compliments on my glowy skin all the time! I use 100 2-3 x's a week & 300 once a week, if I remember. I've used retinol serums after applying reedle shot without any irritation.
Using the Reedle 100 for about a week now, loving it so far! Also I don't feel the "needles" at all. Sometimes there is this tickling sensation, but I barely notice it. I do have extremely sensitive skin, so I expected the feeling of "needles" to be more prominent but I guess I am lucky! I did notice some purging after day 4-ish. Already fading away though. Skin is less red, texture is improving already and impurities (prior to use) are dissapearing quickly. Buttt it's only my first week, so let's see what it will do long term :) Also: do NOT use this product in a morning routine. It is an active product and your skin needs to 'recover'. So you don't want any influence from the sun, weather, cargasses, makeup, etc. Only use in your evening routine!
I’ve been using this 3 times now. I used 300 which is twice a week and honestly it made my skin clear and radiant. My big pores in my cheeks near my nose have become smaller. I’ve used a lot of products for the past 10 years and for the first time I found my “holy grail”.
I’m 61yo Asian. I always had good skin but this VT reedle shot made my skin even better ! My aunt even complimented me on my skin! Will buy it forever!
Hi, I'm 52, just wondering how long you been using this VT?. How many times a week?? Do you wash it off or leave it on face?. Do you use it at night or days??. Please share.. thanks
This is supposed to be used at night...and only once a day...on clean skin followed by treatments and moisturizer...I have super sensitive skin and I am cautiously in love!
Same! I have sensitive skin that easily turns red but never had irritation while using this product and also my skin got wayyyy better after using it. I look glowing.
I really like the VT Reedle shot.i have sensitive skin and am prone to redness. I’ve used the 300 for a week now, and the next morning after the first use I noticed my skin was baby soft, much smoother, and was a bit less red-toned, and two days later my skin was still soft and looked good. I didn’t find it uncomfortable at all…just a bit tingly. I used the VT shot along with my usual skin 1004 products. I’m no stranger to the benefits of centella. I do think that the VT product is a great exfoliation product and it does seem to help product penetration. I’m very happy with the product and will continue to use it. Like any skin product, it’s probably possible to “overdo it”. So follow the instructions and don’t use it more frequently than recommended. Also, your results will probably vary depending on what you use with it. I’ve had a lot of luck with using it alongside calming products. But I’m not using it on days that I use Tretinoin…at least not yet! My recommendation is to go slow and add products slowly so you can figure out what works for you
Its only supposed to be used once a day, at night only and the company even says to use extra moisturizing when using it. Its recommended to gently pat this into the skin rather than robust rubbing as this can, in some instances increase the irritation some people experience. They also say not to use devices like LED masks at the same time so use the LED mask in the morning instead of at night. Hope this is helpful.
You have my huge respect for being one of the few who gives a honest review about it. Not that other youtubers are liars 😂 (well some are maybe) but literally everyone hypes up the product which is always a bit suspiscious to me. I appreciate your in-depth review and testing the product for a longer time of periof instead of giving us a first impression after like a week.
I have the 700 of this and I personally notice how it improves the look of my pores and textures, I use it to deposit skincare ingredients in my skin, it's great to use with face masks. I use it only once a week, and it works for me. I agree that it feels uncomfortable, I can still feel the reedle for up to 48 hours upon application, so I use it every Friday night.
Wonderful in depth review- as always! Thats what we come here for!! I tried it out on and off during the same time periods you did because of all the hype, and my results were mixed. I think it can really help if your skin is in a great place with your barrier integrity and inflammation, but if you have any skin barrier defect it will backfire. I noticed amazing next day results but also experienced breakouts like you did! I also agree 100% that it is an uncomfortable sensation, especially with layering other products, so much so that i dont reach for it. My personal take is that a majority of people in korea (where the hype originated) are not on strong retinoids, if a retinoid at all, not to mention other actives. This product alone may produce amazing effects. I just think that the "controlled damage" the product is intended to produce is too much for those with sensitive skin and barrier issues.
Kelly, I’m sorry the VT serum didn’t work for you. I absolutely saw results using it. My texture,pores, and redness improved so much! I’m on to my second bottle. The tip to use a sheet mask has worked wonderful for me. My tip is use a calming sheet mask that has ingredients like mugwort or artemisia.
@@lavenderpurp6610 I would patch try it first, cause this really depends on the type of pimple, age of pimple and your skin. Try it on a small part of your skin (where there is a pimple). If you notice it is worsening your acne or pimples, i would suggest not using it. With every product though, you wanna give it a good two weeks to see if it works or not. Unless immediately, overnight or in two days you notice irritation, an allergic reaction or (unnormal) breakouts!
Finally, a non-sponsored review of this product! 🎇 Thank you so much for taking the time to really put this to the test. As regular treatments from a doctor or esthetician are absolutely not an option for me financially, I really would love an affordable alternative to microneedling that can be done at home without the horrific risks of those dangerous dermarollers... but this product seemed too good to be true. The lack of non-payed-for reviews has kept me from trying it so far, and I will probably keep skipping it. Really wouldn't want to skip the actually scientifically proven stuff (retinal, vitamin C etc.) to make room for this one. Also, is it just me, or is the idea of using a sort-of-microneedling product every day kind of strange? I don't think that's the average treatment schedule🤨
Thanks for your deep review. I wasn't interested in using this product but still curious about it. 😁 Mad respect for you for putting your skin through it to share your experience with us. Very much apreciate you for that. We have quite similar skin types so I always love to check out what you have to say about a product.❤
I'm so glad this was helpful! Haha, it was quite the trial for my skin but I really wanted to make sure I knew as much about the product as possible before I spoke on it!
There is a 50 Reedle shot Kelly. Always start slow. My sensitive areas of my face, which is around my face, I apply snail, soothing serums, moisturizer around my face as a barrier. Helps alot.
Joyless. What a perfect word! My skincare routine is such a fun, fulfilling, relaxing part of my day...filled with joy. Your description was terrific. Thanks!✌️❤️
I totally agree with you on the negative effects, I experienced the same. I tried the 50 level and used it a couple of times and it ended up in the trash! I enjoy doing my skin care routine and this product took all the joy out my routine. It just made my face feel so uncomfortable. Thank you for your honest review.
Girl VT isn't overhyped in my opinion. The results speak for themselves. My skin has never looked better in my entire life. So many people have complimented me on my skin lately. Sorry it didn't work for you! The reedle shots have become my holy grail and I will be repurchasing forever 👍
I don’t see any long term benefits to using this. Micro needling in dermatology has a damaging impact on the skin that long term use will cause more redness, irritation and a permanent damaging of the skin barrier. Why would anyone use something that causes damage to push healing products in further. You should not to listen to the hype, you should always look into scientific research and studies with a large amount of testers with different skin types and ages, before deciding on using something that actually wounds the skin to make it look better faster.
From some feedbacks I've read, if you have rosacea, procede with caution, especially if it's active. Better get the age booster to get the product get in.
@@pav_pabAh yessss ! Absolutely not together ! I was saying people with rosacea should bypass VT altogether and buy the age booster instead if they need products to penetrate deeper into the skin.
Hi Kelly I ❤ how honest, thorough and thoughtful you are with presenting new products. I did see the hype and thought I would wait awhile before plunging straight in and thanks to your fabulous review I’ll sit this one out being a sensitive skin type myself xx ❤ you and ❤ your content thank you so very much for all you share 🙏💗🤗😘
i tried it with tretinoin and azelaic acid. and i have sensitive skin. I had breakouts when i used the numbuzin serum the one with glutathione and because i wanted to try it for a month because it’s pricey here and dont want to waste money.. but everytime i use it it breaks me out. so i tried incorporating vt reedle with azelaic acid and it works wonders on my skin
I just bought the 100, and idk what I think of it yet. I used a sample of it a few weeks ago before I bought it, and used it at night like everyone is suggesting. I still got the same experience you had, with the uncomfortable prickling that kept happening with every product I applied after it. (sometimes my face gets a little itchy too, and when I'd gently rub my skin to get it to go away, still felt the pin prickling, aswell as when I went to bed that night. I went to bed 3 hours after applying it too.) I'm hoping if I continue to use it I'll get more used to it, because I've watched other reviews who said the prickling got better with time, but we'll see
I am using the Reedle Shot 100 and skin became smoother overnight. I like that I can use it with my actives like retinol. However, it's not very pleasant to use, and I have to be careful to use it only on my face because it gave me rashes when I applied it around my décolletage. Still not sure if I will repurchase yet, will decide after I finish my bottle.
Oh Kelly, I wish I saw this before I ordered the 300 one blind 😅😅😅 I needed your “come back to the ground” 😂😂😂 now it’s on its way and I don’t want it anymore…
maybe because you used it in the morning and likely applied makeup on top of it, it sunk into the skin and clogged your pores and caused breakouts. i think this is mostly meant to be used once a day in the evening but probably for the people that are not using very intense actives like tretinoin especially since in asian skincare such products arent often used so it's not a concern for people making the skincare products. however, if you use tretinoin like 3-4 times a week, maybe using the 300 version of this on the nights when you dont use tretinoin could be a good alternative to this. if your skin can handle it of course since maybe the breakouts were due to irritation from your skin being to sensitive to handle the product or maybe it was the fact that it was applied in the morning possibly in conjunction with makeup. would be interested to know if you would get the same results with using the 300 on the nights when u dont use tretinoin
I’m up for trying anything new or hyped. Like the Niod Copper Peptide, first few weeks after trying it I did noticed some plumpness on my skin but then it stops working. I’m on my second bottle (I bought two bottles during their Christmas Sales) and I think this is a failed for me. I will no longer repurchase the Niod CAIS. Will definitely give VT Reedle a try.
I am going to try it eek. I heard from another video that they used it with peptides and they were amazed by it. Not normally sensitive and I don’t really break out. Going to go for it.
I have pretty sensitive skin, but honestly it's not as uncomfortable as people say. To me at least. I was expecting it to be painful and that I'd be uncomfortable for hours, but I didn't experience any of that.
Check out Dr Dray she did a review, or should I say an overview of this product and it literally translates to danger avoid it! Rest is individual choice.
I haven't tried it, but how are "reedles" different than microtears from other sharp physical exfoliants, like walnut shells, which we were educated to avoid? We've even been instructed by dermatologists to avoid the roller microneedles and to only use the microneedle pens because of the rolling needles pierce at an angle, causing tearing and damage. I will probably wait for several years of honest reviews before I try this one.
@itz I never quit using mechanical exfoliation. I'm still using a silicone facial brush, and I noticed an improvement in my acne with equally effective exfoliation compared to my old knock-off clarisonic bristle brush. So much of skin care is trial and error. Keep looking and trying different products one at a time, keeping the products that work in your routine. Everyone's skin is different, but game changers for my inflammatory acne have been oral spearmint supplements/tea for hormonal cysts/nodules on the chin/jaw (not sure if recommended for males due to hormone blocking effects) and toners/essences/serums with tea tree, artemisia, snail mucin, propolis/honey. Oh yeah, and salicylic acid for comedones. Good luck with your journey!
As I heard you are supposed to incorporate it almost like retinol for beginners for sensitive skin especially. Starting from 1 usage for a week. I am interested in this serum as a booster for "active" serum to penetrate deeper or better.
@@KellyDriscollKelly, I love your videos and I really appreciate your insight and thorough reviews so please don't take this in a negative way. But I have to disagree, this isn't a simple essence product, that is the point of it all. It's supposed to be a gentler alternative to microneedling. So it should definitely be treated like a retinoid or other potentially irritating actives/treatments.
You took the words right out of my mouth Kelly. I bought into it because of all the hype and sponsorship promotion and I hate it. I want to relax and enjoy my night time skin care routine and this gives me nothing but stress. It does give results but it’s not that amazing. I can achieve that with my other products. Such a waste of money. I should’ve waited for your review instead.
Its expected that brands will ask influencers to promote their product, it happened even in the days of magazines as well. To expect a brand to invest in a product and not promote is wild. I am on my third day using the 100 and i dont think its painful at all and Im already seeing the improvement in my skin. Its too bad it didn't work for you. I def dont think its over hyped and i think ppl are achieving the expectations that they had.
Hi Kelly I’m often disappointed and disinterested in really hyped products 😂. I have incredibly reactive sensitive skin with rosacea and eczema. My barrier is permanently impaired and I loathe the thought of micro needling or “reedles” making my skin have tears/wounds tbh- hence never having even considered trying this. I think if you have tough resilient skin then it may help with penetration of other products and not be too overly damaging, but my delicate reactive skin is not who this is aimed at. Best wishes x
I have pcos so i have alot of pimples coz i dont have period everymonth..i used vt reedle shot 300 for 2weeks already now and i feel like my face looks like its glowing its like its moisturize very well i bought alot of product of vt.. including reddle shot cleanser, face cream, face mask, retinol, toner, essence etc. i alternate it everyday Example First day reddle cleanser, toner, reddle shot 300 then mask after i put cream 2nd day reddle cleaner, retinol,mask then cream 3rd day reddle cleaner,toner, mask then essence Then repeat again that step.. But i still have alot of pimples and its like it getting many even in my chin but maybe i need to remove all the bad things in my skin before it will really be so good.. but i love how glowing my face now and smooth skin. But i dont know when can i jump to reddle shot 700??
i used this product for about a week and started getting cystic acne. one night i was slugging and sharp shards stared coming from my face. YES LITTLE TINY SHARP SHARDS. sucks cuz in some places my pores looked amazing and in other places i got large pimples with no heads
Thank you so much for for this review on Reedle. I am very skeptical of this product exactly because of the hype it has received. I also was not willing to try something that feels like needles and not knowing if they are absorbed by my skin. This is definitely not for me.
Spicules are silica-based and sharp, so you're putting microscopic glass bits in your skin. You can't break them down and it's unknown if you'll actually slough them off - for all we know, they embed in the skin and cause granulomas. All that to say, this sounds risky.
Spicule treatments are actually been around South Korea skin care for years and no one have irritation. People I know who did this treatment are still much alive with better skin.😂 This treatment have become more accessible with this product. They stay on your skin for 72hrs before it naturally shed away.
Thats a ridiculous assumption. They aren’t big enough to go deep enough to create granulomas. You need to do better research and not leave misleading statements like this. Nothing more risky than any active skincare
I saw Dr Drays response as well. I appreciate the fact that I think she’s the only dermatological physician who has bothered to reply so far. She indicated, if memory serves me right, that she felt there were no serious or valid studies done yet about spicule (reedel) technology. This isn’t exactly true. However, she did use what I felt were some scare tactics about spicules and long term negative side effects. Whereas she was critical about the fact that she felt insufficient clinical trials about this product had occurred, she wasted no time in theorizing that spicules could cause (I think she said granulomas under the skin which may be difficult to treat. Well my question for her would be ? Where are the studies about granulomas caused by spicules? I don’t know, because she didn’t cite any study. And I know she’s a physician, and she probably has the right to speculate. But my feeling is that she did what felt like very little investigation before she made this claim…
I had the exact same experience - took it with me on a vacation and used it in my NTR instead of my Lactic Acid serum... after 3 days I thought "Wow, skin is smoother" but at the end of the vacation after 7 days I broke out; little bumps all over my face... I stopped using it and after 2 weeks my skin was better. The feeling didn't bother me, I found it a little bit funny in a strange way, but I will not use it again. I have dry, acne-prone skin and I am not willing to make my skin worse than it can be. Thank you for this review ❤
@@CrackerDip I said "was better", I didn't said that it was gone - it fully recovered after 5 weeks. I know my skin very well and this was a bad negative reaction to a new product. I use many active ingrediences and know the difference.
The reedle doesn't remove dead skin cells like exfoliation does, some people have a misconception about this but they aren't resurfacing the skin. You'll likely still want to use your exfoliants, especially if you're using them for acne.
No, during my testing it was hard to find without waiting 2+ months from Stylevana, I noticed that Style Korean just added it, but honestly, I'm done with reedling for the foreseeable future!
I bought it and then dr dray post her video and now I don’t want it anymore but YesStyle won’t cancel my order, and shipping back again is so expensive that it almost isn’t worth it. Gosh that shit was so expensive. 😭😀
Sounds like you started way too fast on the product, and should have had a longer period of introducing the Reedle. Sounds rough on your skin barrier, specially twice a day combined with tret from day one. Try once-twice a week at night the first weeks, and give the skin a break from actives like tret and acids. Then slowly build up to daily use and implement your actives back in. Hope you would try again, but a less rushed :)
Yes please check the part of the video where I discuss my testing phase 2! I did exactly that, still not great for me. No reason to try to make something work that's not a fit after 2 testing periods!
Using it on the day.. applying 2 times a day.. applying sunscreen and makeup on top of it.. and going out.. for me is a no no. I would only use it o night time.. go to bed and the next day skincare and nice protection. I believe you just used it wrong into destroying your skin barrier and got breakouts because of that.
For me it wasnt worth the hype. Glad i refunded returned it so i dont have it in my house anymore. My skin wasn't liking it even if it started looking bright, but then my skin then started getting irritated, itchy, started some acne on my forehead while I started having these small white bumps everywhere on my face. I had to put a stop to it. I tried to keep liking it, but decided the truth is better than pretending, so I didn't use the product anymore.
No way I'd use this. I can't get the thought of rubbing fiberglass into your skin lol I think this is another product thats paying people to hype it up and I don't trust anyones opinion who's getting paid to promote it.
What if you did all the serums and creams and THEN putting on the poison needles AFTER? What a terrible idea for a product. I guess you learned that your skin barrier is healthy and functioning because it immediately rejected it!
Hi Kelly, i noticed in your video when you were applying the reedle serum, you really RUB it in using some pressure. This is probably why you’re feeling very uncomfortable. It’s recommended to apply the essence gently and let it absorb. Same thing with layering on your other skincare products. Also, it sounds like you have sensitive skin. There’s a Reedle 50 strength that’s recommended if you have sensitive skin. Also, the 50 is the only one to use in the morning. The last thing I want to say is beautiful healthy skin rely on multiple factors. Not only on effective skin care but also diet, gut health, regular exercises, managing stress, etc. I didn’t get paid to say all this. I’m extremely knowledgeable about skin care, health, wellness, etc. I wanted to keep things fair and balance for other viewers who may rely on you tubers to use a product.
At 42, I thought I was beyond falling for product hype. How humbling to know I’m still susceptible to it 😂 Unfortunately not only is this product holding up my current skincare order for 21 days, but I honestly don’t think I want it anymore, and it turns out that it cannot be cancelled 🫠 I am so appreciative for your honesty and transparency, thank you for always being someone I can trust 💗
You'll certainly be able to sell it if you don't decide to use it lol people are nuts for the stuff. I'm 52 so a little further along life's road and to me this is the apricot scrub of this decade 😂

We have quite similar skin types so I always love to check out what you have to say about a product.❤
I'm so glad this was helpful! Haha, it was quite the trial for my skin but I really wanted to make sure I knew as much about the product as possible before I spoke on it!
There is a 50 Reedle shot Kelly. Always start slow. My sensitive areas of my face, which is around my face, I apply snail, soothing serums, moisturizer around my face as a barrier. Helps alot.
Joyless. What a perfect word! My skincare routine is such a fun, fulfilling, relaxing part of my day...filled with joy. Your description was terrific. Thanks!✌️❤️
I totally agree with you on the negative effects, I experienced the same. I tried the 50 level and used it a couple of times and it ended up in the trash! I enjoy doing my skin care routine and this product took all the joy out my routine. It just made my face feel so uncomfortable. Thank you for your honest review.
Girl VT isn't overhyped in my opinion. The results speak for themselves. My skin has never looked better in my entire life. So many people have complimented me on my skin lately. Sorry it didn't work for you! The reedle shots have become my holy grail and I will be repurchasing forever 👍
As I said, I think the excitement it receives is genuine, happy it worked for you!
How long that piercing feeling last
I don’t see any long term benefits to using this. Micro needling in dermatology has a damaging impact on the skin that long term use will cause more redness, irritation and a permanent damaging of the skin barrier. Why would anyone use something that causes damage to push healing products in further. You should not to listen to the hype, you should always look into scientific research and studies with a large amount of testers with different skin types and ages, before deciding on using something that actually wounds the skin to make it look better faster.
Same here.♥️
From some feedbacks I've read, if you have rosacea, procede with caution, especially if it's active. Better get the age booster to get the product get in.
I thought VT said it's better to avoid the product when using devices? I think I heard it from Aliceintherabbithole's video on this product
@@pav_pabAh yessss ! Absolutely not together ! I was saying people with rosacea should bypass VT altogether and buy the age booster instead if they need products to penetrate deeper into the skin.
@@QueenXKnit ah okay that makes sense! thank you :)
Ive been as first step of my skin care and boy the difference it makes.
I feel like using this during the day is likely the cause of the irritation. I use this at night with peptides, skin has never been better.
Luv your voice & you are so grounded with much respect in your vlog regarding all stuffs. Like your comments
Hi Kelly I ❤ how honest, thorough and thoughtful you are with presenting new products. I did see the hype and thought I would wait awhile before plunging straight in and thanks to your fabulous review I’ll sit this one out being a sensitive skin type myself xx
❤ you and ❤ your content thank you so very much for all you share 🙏💗🤗😘
i tried it with tretinoin and azelaic acid. and i have sensitive skin. I had breakouts when i used the numbuzin serum the one with glutathione and because i wanted to try it for a month because it’s pricey here and dont want to waste money.. but everytime i use it it breaks me out. so i tried incorporating vt reedle with azelaic acid and it works wonders on my skin
what brand azelaic acid are you using? prescription or over the counter?
@@ayeshaali6462 SKINOREN or AZCLEAR
Hi… which NUmbuzin serum has glutathione.. pls tell its number
I totally agree with that it's very marketing but I very enjoy this! It makes my skin soooo smooth~
I just bought the 100, and idk what I think of it yet. I used a sample of it a few weeks ago before I bought it, and used it at night like everyone is suggesting. I still got the same experience you had, with the uncomfortable prickling that kept happening with every product I applied after it. (sometimes my face gets a little itchy too, and when I'd gently rub my skin to get it to go away, still felt the pin prickling, aswell as when I went to bed that night. I went to bed 3 hours after applying it too.) I'm hoping if I continue to use it I'll get more used to it, because I've watched other reviews who said the prickling got better with time, but we'll see
YASSSSSSSS was wondering what our skincare queen 👑 thought of this!!! Thanks Kelly💜
I am using the Reedle Shot 100 and skin became smoother overnight. I like that I can use it with my actives like retinol. However, it's not very pleasant to use, and I have to be careful to use it only on my face because it gave me rashes when I applied it around my décolletage. Still not sure if I will repurchase yet, will decide after I finish my bottle.
Oh Kelly, I wish I saw this before I ordered the 300 one blind 😅😅😅 I needed your “come back to the ground” 😂😂😂 now it’s on its way and I don’t want it anymore…
I’m quite sure that we’ve all done that with products, so don’t feel bad, if you don’t like it use it on your hands or feet ❤
maybe because you used it in the morning and likely applied makeup on top of it, it sunk into the skin and clogged your pores and caused breakouts. i think this is mostly meant to be used once a day in the evening but probably for the people that are not using very intense actives like tretinoin especially since in asian skincare such products arent often used so it's not a concern for people making the skincare products. however, if you use tretinoin like 3-4 times a week, maybe using the 300 version of this on the nights when you dont use tretinoin could be a good alternative to this. if your skin can handle it of course since maybe the breakouts were due to irritation from your skin being to sensitive to handle the product or maybe it was the fact that it was applied in the morning possibly in conjunction with makeup. would be interested to know if you would get the same results with using the 300 on the nights when u dont use tretinoin
I’m up for trying anything new or hyped. Like the Niod Copper Peptide, first few weeks after trying it I did noticed some plumpness on my skin but then it stops working. I’m on my second bottle (I bought two bottles during their Christmas Sales) and I think this is a failed for me. I will no longer repurchase the Niod CAIS. Will definitely give VT Reedle a try.
I am going to try it eek. I heard from another video that they used it with peptides and they were amazed by it. Not normally sensitive and I don’t really break out. Going to go for it.
Good luck!💜
I have pretty sensitive skin, but honestly it's not as uncomfortable as people say. To me at least. I was expecting it to be painful and that I'd be uncomfortable for hours, but I didn't experience any of that.
Check out Dr Dray she did a review, or should I say an overview of this product and it literally translates to danger avoid it! Rest is individual choice.
I haven't tried it, but how are "reedles" different than microtears from other sharp physical exfoliants, like walnut shells, which we were educated to avoid? We've even been instructed by dermatologists to avoid the roller microneedles and to only use the microneedle pens because of the rolling needles pierce at an angle, causing tearing and damage. I will probably wait for several years of honest reviews before I try this one.
My thoughts as well.
I used to use exfoliators. Best thing I had ever done. After I stopped using it, my skin went to shit and I haven't been able to bring it back.
@itz I never quit using mechanical exfoliation. I'm still using a silicone facial brush, and I noticed an improvement in my acne with equally effective exfoliation compared to my old knock-off clarisonic bristle brush. So much of skin care is trial and error. Keep looking and trying different products one at a time, keeping the products that work in your routine. Everyone's skin is different, but game changers for my inflammatory acne have been oral spearmint supplements/tea for hormonal cysts/nodules on the chin/jaw (not sure if recommended for males due to hormone blocking effects) and toners/essences/serums with tea tree, artemisia, snail mucin, propolis/honey. Oh yeah, and salicylic acid for comedones. Good luck with your journey!
@@hoosieraussis1 Thanks so much.
As I heard you are supposed to incorporate it almost like retinol for beginners for sensitive skin especially. Starting from 1 usage for a week. I am interested in this serum as a booster for "active" serum to penetrate deeper or better.
Yes there is a lot of advice on how to use it best, some of it helpful but pretty complicated for a simple essence product!
@@KellyDriscollKelly, I love your videos and I really appreciate your insight and thorough reviews so please don't take this in a negative way. But I have to disagree, this isn't a simple essence product, that is the point of it all. It's supposed to be a gentler alternative to microneedling. So it should definitely be treated like a retinoid or other potentially irritating actives/treatments.
VT reedle shot is amazing product!!!
I'm buying the 1000 it's do or die.
You took the words right out of my mouth Kelly. I bought into it because of all the hype and sponsorship promotion and I hate it. I want to relax and enjoy my night time skin care routine and this gives me nothing but stress. It does give results but it’s not that amazing. I can achieve that with my other products. Such a waste of money. I should’ve waited for your review instead.
Its expected that brands will ask influencers to promote their product, it happened even in the days of magazines as well. To expect a brand to invest in a product and not promote is wild. I am on my third day using the 100 and i dont think its painful at all and Im already seeing the improvement in my skin. Its too bad it didn't work for you. I def dont think its over hyped and i think ppl are achieving the expectations that they had.
Hi Kelly I’m often disappointed and disinterested in really hyped products 😂. I have incredibly reactive sensitive skin with rosacea and eczema. My barrier is permanently impaired and I loathe the thought of micro needling or “reedles” making my skin have tears/wounds tbh- hence never having even considered trying this. I think if you have tough resilient skin then it may help with penetration of other products and not be too overly damaging, but my delicate reactive skin is not who this is aimed at. Best wishes x
I have pcos so i have alot of pimples coz i dont have period everymonth..i used vt reedle shot 300 for 2weeks already now and i feel like my face looks like its glowing its like its moisturize very well i bought alot of product of vt.. including reddle shot cleanser, face cream, face mask, retinol, toner, essence etc. i alternate it everyday
Example
First day reddle cleanser, toner, reddle shot 300 then mask after i put cream
2nd day reddle cleaner, retinol,mask then cream
3rd day reddle cleaner,toner, mask then essence
Then repeat again that step..
But i still have alot of pimples and its like it getting many even in my chin but maybe i need to remove all the bad things in my skin before it will really be so good.. but i love how glowing my face now and smooth skin. But i dont know when can i jump to reddle shot 700??
Love this product. I also use pestlo spicule mask.
i used this product for about a week and started getting cystic acne. one night i was slugging and sharp shards stared coming from my face. YES LITTLE TINY SHARP SHARDS. sucks cuz in some places my pores looked amazing and in other places i got large pimples with no heads
Thank you so much for for this review on Reedle. I am very skeptical of this product exactly because of the hype it has received. I also was not willing to try something that feels like needles and not knowing if they are absorbed by my skin. This is definitely not for me.
I'm scared to use it because my skin barrier just got better. Thank you for your review, I think i will not use this..hahaha
Spicules are silica-based and sharp, so you're putting microscopic glass bits in your skin. You can't break them down and it's unknown if you'll actually slough them off - for all we know, they embed in the skin and cause granulomas.
All that to say, this sounds risky.
Spicule treatments are actually been around South Korea skin care for years and no one have irritation. People I know who did this treatment are still much alive with better skin.😂 This treatment have become more accessible with this product. They stay on your skin for 72hrs before it naturally shed away.
Thats a ridiculous assumption. They aren’t big enough to go deep enough to create granulomas. You need to do better research and not leave misleading statements like this. Nothing more risky than any active skincare
Have you tried celimax dual barrier cream ?? I think you'll also like it.
Like K18 did. They gave it to a lot of influencers.
Do you think Qure microneedling is any good?
I wonder how the 1000 version feel on the skin...😳
The idea of them just staying in your skin for awhile… creeps me out
what happens to those reedle? do they come off? dissolved?
They supposedly slough off with your skin when ever that is. Or maybe it in beds into your skin like a splinter lol
It's like using st.ives scrub
The question is… what happens to the reedles? They don’t dissolve. I think there will be some real problems with this as time passes.
Just ordered it!
Hi Kelly, do you use the VY Reedle before the toner step or after? Thank you!
I personally used this in my serum step, so after any toner and essence.
There is also 50 Reedle which o feel not enough people mention
Dr Dray made a video about this product. Definitely go and see it
I actually bought the product then watched Dr. Dray. Defiantly on hold for now!
I saw Dr Drays response as well. I appreciate the fact that I think she’s the only dermatological physician who has bothered to reply so far. She indicated, if memory serves me right, that she felt there were no serious or valid studies done yet about spicule (reedel) technology. This isn’t exactly true. However, she did use what I felt were some scare tactics about spicules and long term negative side effects. Whereas she was critical about the fact that she felt insufficient clinical trials about this product had occurred, she wasted no time in theorizing that spicules could cause (I think she said granulomas under the skin which may be difficult to treat. Well my question for her would be ? Where are the studies about granulomas caused by spicules? I don’t know, because she didn’t cite any study. And I know she’s a physician, and she probably has the right to speculate. But my feeling is that she did what felt like very little investigation before she made this claim…
Don’t. Dr dray is an idiot.
@@pattilang6988 agree!
Is it safe to use while nursing?
Thank you!
is it weird if i didnt feel any sting after using the 100?
I had the exact same experience - took it with me on a vacation and used it in my NTR instead of my Lactic Acid serum... after 3 days I thought "Wow, skin is smoother" but at the end of the vacation after 7 days I broke out; little bumps all over my face... I stopped using it and after 2 weeks my skin was better. The feeling didn't bother me, I found it a little bit funny in a strange way, but I will not use it again. I have dry, acne-prone skin and I am not willing to make my skin worse than it can be. Thank you for this review ❤
I feel that, not willing to make it worse!
you sure your skin wasn't purging? Since the bumps were gone after 2 weeks. The reedle is an active product so purging might occur!
@@CrackerDip I said "was better", I didn't said that it was gone - it fully recovered after 5 weeks. I know my skin very well and this was a bad negative reaction to a new product. I use many active ingrediences and know the difference.
If use VT reedle, no need to exfoliate with BHA or AHA weekly?
The reedle doesn't remove dead skin cells like exfoliation does, some people have a misconception about this but they aren't resurfacing the skin. You'll likely still want to use your exfoliants, especially if you're using them for acne.
Have you tried the 50 strength? It’s supposed to be more gentle.
No, during my testing it was hard to find without waiting 2+ months from Stylevana, I noticed that Style Korean just added it, but honestly, I'm done with reedling for the foreseeable future!
What do You guys think about Dr. Dray's video about spicules and what they can cause over time on your skin?
Can you put this under make up?
I don’t feel anything when I use the VT product at all. Not one bit!
You were overusing it. Directions from the 100 are once a day in the evening. This product worked for me.
Can teen skin use this product? Cuz i have many scars and combo skin
I don't see why not. Just start with 100 and take it slow x
Will the spicules sheds off by itself ???!!
Yes they will
I bought it and then dr dray post her video and now I don’t want it anymore but YesStyle won’t cancel my order, and shipping back again is so expensive that it almost isn’t worth it. Gosh that shit was so expensive. 😭😀
Same! 😂
Sooo weeks later, YesStyle allowed me to cancel my order because they had trouble delivering the product or something lmao. Gosh am i lucky. 😭✌️
Dr dray is an idiot.
The spicules are the exfoliants girl.
VT is not a serum! It’s an Essence.
Sounds like you started way too fast on the product, and should have had a longer period of introducing the Reedle. Sounds rough on your skin barrier, specially twice a day combined with tret from day one.
Try once-twice a week at night the first weeks, and give the skin a break from actives like tret and acids. Then slowly build up to daily use and implement your actives back in.
Hope you would try again, but a less rushed :)
Yes please check the part of the video where I discuss my testing phase 2! I did exactly that, still not great for me. No reason to try to make something work that's not a fit after 2 testing periods!
The directions say use nightly...
Using it on the day.. applying 2 times a day.. applying sunscreen and makeup on top of it.. and going out.. for me is a no no. I would only use it o night time.. go to bed and the next day skincare and nice protection. I believe you just used it wrong into destroying your skin barrier and got breakouts because of that.
Thank you!
For me it wasnt worth the hype. Glad i refunded returned it so i dont have it in my house anymore.
My skin wasn't liking it even if it started looking bright, but then my skin then started getting irritated, itchy, started some acne on my forehead while I started having these small white bumps everywhere on my face. I had to put a stop to it. I tried to keep liking it, but decided the truth is better than pretending, so I didn't use the product anymore.
Oh no, it's good you were able to get your money back!
No way I'd use this. I can't get the thought of rubbing fiberglass into your skin lol I think this is another product thats paying people to hype it up and I don't trust anyones opinion who's getting paid to promote it.
What if you did all the serums and creams and THEN putting on the poison needles AFTER? What a terrible idea for a product. I guess you learned that your skin barrier is healthy and functioning because it immediately rejected it!
Hi Kelly, i noticed in your video when you were applying the reedle serum, you really RUB it in using some pressure. This is probably why you’re feeling very uncomfortable. It’s recommended to apply the essence gently and let it absorb. Same thing with layering on your other skincare products. Also, it sounds like you have sensitive skin. There’s a Reedle 50 strength that’s recommended if you have sensitive skin. Also, the 50 is the only one to use in the morning. The last thing I want to say is beautiful healthy skin rely on multiple factors. Not only on effective skin care but also diet, gut health, regular exercises, managing stress, etc. I didn’t get paid to say all this. I’m extremely knowledgeable about skin care, health, wellness, etc. I wanted to keep things fair and balance for other viewers who may rely on you tubers to use a product.
She did it all wrong!
Disappointing since you used it wrong. Read instructions PM only!
At 42, I thought I was beyond falling for product hype. How humbling to know I’m still susceptible to it 😂 Unfortunately not only is this product holding up my current skincare order for 21 days, but I honestly don’t think I want it anymore, and it turns out that it cannot be cancelled 🫠 I am so appreciative for your honesty and transparency, thank you for always being someone I can trust 💗
You'll certainly be able to sell it if you don't decide to use it lol people are nuts for the stuff.
I'm 52 so a little further along life's road and to me this is the apricot scrub of this decade 😂
