Hi everyone! I wanted to share my thoughts on the VT Reedle Shot 300, a product I recently added to my nighttime skincare routine. Lately, after spending more time outdoors in the sun, my skin has been feeling a bit off — dull, rougher in texture, and overall not at its best. I was looking for something that could help reset my skin without overwhelming it, and this one stood out as a “skin booster.” After using it for a few weeks, here’s what I’ve learned.

Let’s start with what it actually is — because I feel like there’s some confusion online. The Reedle Shot 300 isn’t a vitamin C serum or an exfoliating toner. It’s a skin-boosting serum with centella asiatica (cica) as its main ingredient, meant to be used once at night — not layered and definitely not reapplied throughout the day. The word “shot” might sound a little dramatic, but honestly, it kind of fits.

Packaging and Texture

The packaging is simple and clinical: a white pump bottle with green text, not particularly fancy but very practical. The pump dispenses just the right amount of product, and you don’t need much per use — one or two pumps max.

The texture is a clear to slightly milky gel, somewhere between watery and thick. It spreads smoothly and sinks in fast. There’s no real scent, which I like. But don’t let the clean look fool you — the moment it hits your skin, you’ll feel it.

Application and First Impressions

Instructions are straightforward: use at night only and avoid the eye and mouth areas. Definitely follow that advice. The first time I used it, I was honestly surprised by how much it stung — not painful exactly, but enough to raise your eyebrows. The sensation fades within a few minutes, but it’s intense enough that I wouldn’t recommend applying it right after exfoliating or if your skin feels compromised.

I apply it straight onto clean skin, no toner, no essence, just this. After it dries down, I follow up with a cream-based moisturizer. I’ve found that if I skip moisturizer, my skin feels tight and dry the next morning, so definitely don’t forget that final step.

How It Fits Into My Routine

This isn’t an everyday product for me. I use it two to three times a week, especially when my skin is looking tired or a little beat up from the sun. It gives me that subtle “reset” feeling. While it’s not a brightening serum that gives you instant glow, it really seems to support my skin’s overall barrier and texture.

The morning after I use it, my skin always feels smoother and more put together. It’s not a dramatic change, but it’s one of those “something looks better and I can’t quite explain why” moments.

Results and Skin Reactions

The biggest result I’ve noticed is the improvement in skin texture, especially on my cheeks where I tend to get a bit rough. My skin has also been less prone to redness in certain areas since I started using this. That said, I wouldn’t recommend using it on active breakouts or broken skin, it’s not designed for that.

What I do love is that despite the strong stinging sensation, it never caused breakouts or long-lasting irritation. I get some mild flushing right after applying it, but it calms down quickly and my skin feels fine by the next morning.

Final Thoughts

This is not your typical feel good product — it doesn’t smell fancy or make your skin instantly glow. It feels more like a treatment. You kind of have to mentally prepare for it, but in a weird way, that makes it feel like you’re really doing something for your skin.

If you’re into functional, targeted skincare, and you’re looking for a product that improves your skin’s texture and resilience without being overly complicated, the Reedle Shot 300 is worth trying.

Just keep in mind!

Would I repurchase? Probably. I think of it more like a treatment than a daily-use serum, and it’s the kind of thing I like to have in my routine for those days when my skin just needs a bit of tough love.
