VT Cosmetics RETI-A Reedle Shot 100 2STEP Hydrogel Mask 4e

A hydrogel mask designed to be applied after a retinol serum — and one that visibly transforms as it settles onto skin. It starts out opaque, then gradually turns clear as it adheres. That shift is more than cosmetic: it means the actives are getting to work, and your skin is actually absorbing what it needs. The rest reveals itself when you peel it off.

Texture and actives — The hydrogel sheet molds to the contours of your face, creating a gentle occlusive effect that helps ingredients sink deeper into skin. At the heart of the formula, Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate and Bakuchiol (a plant-based retinol alternative) work together to smooth texture and boost elasticity — with better tolerance than retinol alone. Centella Asiatica Extract, Asiaticoside, Madecassoside, and Madecassic Acid — the components of the CICA REEDLE complex — calm the skin while the retinoids do their job. Sodium Hyaluronate locks moisture into the upper layers, while Hydrolyzed Elastin supports firmness. Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate and Allantoin round things out by soothing any potential irritation. The cut-outs around the eyes and mouth leave behind small circular patches you can reuse on areas that need a little extra attention.

In your routine — After cleansing and applying a toner, place the lower part of the mask first, then the upper part, and adjust the fit within the first few minutes. Leave it on for 20 to 40 minutes for a regular session, or 2 to 3 hours for a more intensive treatment — it can even stay on overnight. When you remove it, gently massage any remaining essence into your skin until fully absorbed: nothing goes to waste. This two-step format is meant to be used after the Reti-A Reedle Shot 100, which primes and refines pores before the mask goes on.

• CICA REEDLE: a complex of Centella Asiatica Extract, Asiaticoside, Madecassoside, and Madecassic Acid — soothes skin while retinoids are active.
• Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate + Bakuchiol: two approaches to smoother texture in one formula, with improved skin tolerance.
• Hydrolyzed Elastin: supports firmness and elasticity, highlighted as a key active in the brand's product documentation.
• Flexible wear time: 20 minutes minimum, up to a full night — adjust based on your skin's needs and where you are in your week.
• The small patches left by the eye and mouth cut-outs can be saved and used to target areas that need extra focused care.
