I feel like a lot of people are expecting a miracle out of this product and not using it properly, but also it just isn't suitable for some skin concerns.

First of all, I have combination skin that leans sensitive. It says this product is ideal for daily use, but if you have sensitive skin I disagree....it can be harsh and exacerbate your sensitivity if you use it constantly. I use mine 3 times a week and that's the sweet spot. Also, don't use this on the same night you apply retinol or anything acidic on your skin. It's too much and you may notice your skin reacts because there's some strong ingredients in retinol serums. and Reedle shot

Now onto the actual product - two pumps is enough for my face and neck, and yes it does sting upon application. Not in a overly "ouch this hurts" way, but noticably feels like tiny needles in your face. It fades pretty quickly, and dries down fast without stickiness.

Always apply it FIRST, before any other product in your night routine. It's main benefit is helping your other products absorb more deeply and have greater effect - by itself it's not a great source of active skincare.

Once you keep this in mind, you can take advantage of its design and apply your serums, mists, oils etc with greater intention. I've noticed products work way faster and have greater results after I started using Reedle shot. Your hydrating products are even more hydrating, your acne care works more effectively, your skin is overall brighter, and you actually use LESS overall individual product because the Reedle shot is helping your skin absorb everything more effectively.

Is it a vital step in your skincare? Hm no. If you're happy with the way your products are working then you don't necessarily need this. BUT it's worth the money if you are looking to address dull or mature skin that takes a long time to respond to skincare, or really want your products to work at a deeper level in a lot less time. I personally love it and will buy another. But keep in mind to follow the directions and do a patch test to make sure it won't react with your skin :)

Effective, yet gentle, exfoliator/resurface. What you want. Can use twice a week.

Absolutely love this my skin feels so much smoother drys fast and so light

First time trying this after reading up on it. So far I am liking it, leaving skin feel soft

In my 3rd week now, in my first couple of days my skin had a bit of a reaction just going really dry. So I toned eveything back and started using it every three days and now daily. I didn't get that tingly feeling you're supposed to get. I am happy so far, my skin is glowing and hydrated.
