VT Cosmetics PDRN Reedle Shot 100 50ml

Some skincare steps slot right into your existing routine without turning everything upside down. The VT Cosmetics PDRN Reedle Shot 100 is exactly that: an ampoule you apply first, directly onto cleansed skin, to set the stage before anything else goes on. Its dense, milky texture delivers its ingredients in just a few motions, ready for the rest of your routine to build on top.

Texture and ingredients — The ampoule is built around a Korean-grown Panax Ginseng Root Extract, used here as a plant-based source of PDRN — an alternative to the fish-derived versions more commonly seen. Centella Asiatica Callus Extracellular Vesicles work alongside Madecassoside, Madecassic Acid, Asiaticoside and Asiatic Acid — four active fractions drawn from centella asiatica. The formula also brings together eight distinct forms of hyaluronic acid — including Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hyaluronate and Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid — to reach different layers of the skin. A peptide complex made up of Tripeptide-1, Hexapeptide-9, Copper Tripeptide-1, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 and Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 rounds out the formula, alongside Glutathione and Tocopherol. The micro-sized Silica in the texture is also what can cause a mild tingling sensation on application — a normal response to contact with the skin's surface, which eases off if you apply a light moisturiser first.

How to use it — Use it as a first step, on clean, dry skin, before your serums and moisturiser. Apply an appropriate amount, massage in with circular motions to help absorption, then press your palms flat against your face to finish. The 50 ml size is a good fit if you're new to the formula or prefer the entry-level concentration (level 100); applying a toner before the ampoule helps reduce the tingling for sensitive skin. Follow with a moisturiser and make sure to wear SPF during the day.
