As the title said, a quick update on life and such.
On hiatus because I do work full time now, so even though I might have my weekends, but I’ll be too tired to write anything. But here I am, on a Sunday evening, thinking “I already paid for this site, and it has been on automatic renewal, so WTH”.
Long story short, I’ve been trying a lot of new skincare products and treatments as well (you can see the latest updates on my IG (@shintarosvita) and TikTok (@skinetijen). But one product stood out from the rest. VT REEDLE SHOT.
I decided to purchase the 300, just because I think my skin can tolerate it. The higher the numbers (I believe they have until 1000 now), the more prickly it’ll feel on the skin. So, I do recommend if you never tried any skin procedures at skin clinics and have low pain tolerance, do not start with 300, but opt for lower numbers like 50 or 100.
If you’ve been following me long enough, you’d probably know that I have a problematic skin textures, and I still do until today, considering I’ve tried this and that. This product claims to mimic the Micro Needling Treatment, without having to poke our skin with the tool.
So, it sort of awaken our skin plus exfoliation, to make the skin ready to absorb more goodness from the next steps of our skincare routine. Obviously, apply this on dry and clean skin at the very first step of PM routine. Then continue with serum and moisturizer. Mine is the 300, so I use it every 3 days, making it twice a week. My days are Wednesday and Saturday.
First Impression: IT PRICKLES! But a good feeling kinda prickles, because it supposed to help our skin. The weirdest thing: that prickly feeling will last as long as I rub the skin with other products afterwards. I could still feel the prickles when my skin touched the pillow when sleeping, and when I cleansed them in the morning with cotton pads and micellar water. But, when left alone with no rubbing involved, I didn’t feel anything. Weird but true, that’s why I kinda enjoy using it. I am thinking to buy the 100 version, so I can apply everyday.
I had my experiences with Cica aka Centella Asiatica before in my skincare journey, but this product didn’t break me out like the other skincare products containing Cica. Maybe because they claimed that this is a non-comedogenic product and been clinically tested as well. And it didn’t trigger my fungal-acne too!
Those are my before-after using this product for about two weeks. I do have scars, not just pores, so they are impossible to remove. But, I do felt my skin become softer when I touch them and I rarely get breakouts nowadays. And if I do, they’ll heal faster. If you see my after pictures, my skin look like they’re blushing healthily.
Final verdict: I will try to finish the whole bottle before I decide to give the other versions a try. But I do love the prickly sensation (it’s not tingling like most reviews said).
