Description
What it is
Reedle Shot 300 is the more intense version of VT Cosmetics’ spicule booster. It shares the same family of ingredients as Reedle Shot 100, built around hydrolyzed sponge, a natural source of microscopic silica spicules, but the brand designs it to deliver a noticeably stronger tingling sensation. VT positions it for people who have already used a gentler Reedle Shot and want a more visible effect on texture, enlarged-looking pores and the look of fine lines.
Like the rest of the line, it has a light milky texture, is applied straight after cleansing and is followed by moisturizer. Because it is stronger, the brand’s directions call for more spacing between uses, with retailers commonly quoting a routine of about once every three days at the start.
Key ingredients
- Hydrolyzed sponge (micro-spicules): fine spicules that create the prickling feel and help refine the look of rough skin.
- Niacinamide: vitamin B3 for a more even-looking tone and the look of smaller pores.
- Adenosine: an ingredient used in Korea for the look of fine lines.
- Centella asiatica and its compounds: asiaticoside, madecassoside and related actives to help skin feel calm after the tingle.
- Sodium hyaluronate: hydrates and helps skin feel less tight.
- Propolis extract: a soothing, nourishing bee-derived ingredient.

Who it suits
It suits people whose skin already tolerates Reedle Shot 100 well and who want a stronger texture-refining effect. Thicker, oilier skin often handles it better than thin or dry skin. If you have never tried spicules, begin with the VT Reedle Shot 100 instead.
Who should be careful
Avoid it on sensitive, rosacea-prone, sunburned, broken or freshly treated skin, and do not layer it with strong acids or retinoids on the same night. Stop if burning or redness lasts. It contains macadamia seed oil, which matters for tree nut allergies, and propolis, which can bother people allergic to bee products.
Patch test first. Apply a small amount to the inner forearm or behind the ear and wait 24 to 48 hours before using it on the face.
