VT Vita-light Reedle Shot 100 2-Step Hydrogel Mask

VT's Reedle Shot line splits into two directions. The Pro Cica version is aimed at skin that feels unsettled. This one, the Vita-Light, is the radiance-focused counterpart, and it is the one to reach for when skin looks flat and tired rather than reactive.

The structure is the same. Step 1 is the Vita-Light Reedle Shot essence, which contains the microscopic spicules that give the formula its distinctive tingle. Step 2 is a jelly-textured hydrogel mask that goes on top and holds everything in place. As a Reedle Shot mask, it works as an occasional skincare step rather than a routine staple.

The ingredient list is where it differs from the cica version. Ascorbic acid, tocopherol, niacinamide, glutathione and ubiquinone sit alongside astaxanthin and sea buckthorn, which is an unusually crowded antioxidant lineup for a single-use mask. The VT Reedle Shot essence is designed for evening use, and because the formula includes both ascorbic acid and retinyl palmitate, applying sunscreen the following morning is important.

Made In

South Korea.

●        Combines the Vita-Light essence with a hydrogel sheet in one set

●        Skin looks brighter and better hydrated straight after use

●        Hydrogel texture cools on contact and holds its shape on the face

●        Two-piece sheet adjusts to the face better than a single flat sheet

●        A dense antioxidant lineup in a single-use format

●        A practical way to try the Vita-Light formula before buying the full-size serum

1.     Cleanse in the evening and pat the skin dry.

2.     Apply all of the Step 1 Vita-Light Reedle Shot essence evenly across the face, avoiding the eye and lip areas, and let it absorb fully. A mild tingling sensation may occur. If you experience persistent burning or discomfort, rinse off immediately.

3.     Take out the Step 2 hydrogel mask and peel away the backing films.

4.     Place the lower piece around the mouth and jaw first, then the upper piece around the eyes, and smooth both into place.

5.     Adjust the fit within the first minute or two while the hydrogel is still flexible.

6.     Remove after 20 to 40 minutes and pat the remaining essence into the skin.

7.     Wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen the following morning.
