Pairs well with: Hydrating toners, lightweight essences, centella serums, hyaluronic acid layers, panthenol, peptides, and barrier-repair creams. These combinations help buffer the tingling sensation, reduce irritation, and support the skin while the micro-spicules enhance absorption.
Compatible with: Mild, non-irritating actives such as niacinamide, green tea, licorice root, allantoin, and low-acid formulations designed for daily use. It can follow most simple hydration routines, and works well in mixed-brand routines where the focus is soothing, brightening, or barrier reinforcement.
Avoid using: Retinoids (any strength), strong exfoliants (AHA/BHA/PHA serums, peels, pads), vitamin C in pure ascorbic acid form, and any high-heat or stimulating devices. Because Reedle Shot uses micro-spicules that mechanically exfoliate and increase penetration, layering it with intense actives increases the risk of stinging, redness, and barrier disruption.
Layering tip: Use only on freshly cleansed skin as Step Zero in the evening routine. Apply a thin, even layer and allow it to absorb before adding soothing serums and moisturiser. Keep the routine simple on Reedle Shot nights — hydrating and calming products only. Always apply sunscreen the following morning.
Pro Tip: The formula contains natural silica micro-spicules (“CICA Reedle”) that create temporary channels for enhanced absorption. A tingling sensation is normal. If sensitivity is high, begin with 1–2 nights per week and increase gradually. Never combine with other Reedle Shot strengths.
