Where I got it
After trying out the Reedle Shot 100 and 300 in my previous review for about 2 weeks, I decided to purchase the Reedle Shot 700. I purchased this from YesStyle for NZD 107.52. Sent to be from the US and arrived 10 days after ordering. You should be able to purchase this in several online stores, but it has been sold out for a while last year when the product went viral because it is such a revolutionary product.
What I got
This is the VT Cosmetics Reedle Shot 700 (30ml). Essential Reedle Shot 700 Essence enhances your skin overnight. This special at-home treatment, used once a week, promotes a healthy complexion and boosts skin turnover. Cica Reedle, crafted with natural silica, gently invigorates the skin, facilitating the absorption of subsequent skincare products’ active ingredients. A tingling sensation may occur, indicating the absorption of nutrients. Enriched with Centella Asiatica Extract, Triple Hyaluronic Acid, Centella 4X Complex, and Green Propolis Extract to soothe and hydrate the skin. Reedle Shot 700 Essence, a gentle yet potent exfoliating facial essence, is suitable for all skin types. Ideal for those who want to nurture their skin overnight or incorporate exfoliation into their skincare routine. It’s an excellent choice for restoring your skin’s balance and natural vitality.
Completed clinical trial and improved skin turnover cycle to result in a healthy conditioning cycle of the skin. Improves skin turnover by 79.35%. Improves skin growth after 2 weeks. Improves skin growth change rate by 28.20%.

How I find it
Before using the Reedle Shot 700, I have been using the 100 and 300 in rotation for at least 4 weeks. This was my skincare routine with the Reedle Shot for the last 6 weeks, I also used BHA and vitamin C during the morning along with SPF50 every day, and I alternate copper peptides, retinols, and AHA products at night.
I decided to put in 700 once a week in the middle of the week. 700 is significantly more prickly and feels more abrasive. Even though the spicules (reedles) are still invisible to the naked eye, it feels like rubbing tiny glass shards on the skin. 700 is definitely more potent than 100 and 300. If you have sensitive skin, you have to be very careful.
700 also comes in a thicker, cream consistency instead of a gel-cream consistency like 100 and 300. One pump is all that is needed for the entire face because you only need a little bit. If at all, it can be used as a spot treatment or just applied to specific areas of concern. i.e. nose, cheeks, etc.
Overall
After using the Reedle Shot 700 once a week for over 6 weeks consistently, I can say that I have been seeing a difference. I’m not sure if it was only because of the 700, or it was a combination of 100 and 300 along with other skincare products. But my skin has been brighter and clearer. My skin has less breakouts and is overall in a much better condition. My skin barrier is strong and resilient. I will continue using the Reedle Shots, but I probably would not repurchase 700 as I don’t think my skin needs this at the moment. I am happy with 100 and 300 to boost the ingredients in my other skincare products.
