VT reedle shots irritating?

Hi guys! I’ve been using the VT reedle shots 100, 300, and 700 for a month now and have been having skin issues. For starters I use the 100 every day or every other day. I use it at night and pair it with calming toner, the reedle shot, a calming face mask or hyaluronic mask, sometimes niacidimide, and then a ceramide cream. 300 I use 2 times a week and also pair with just a calming face mask and a barrier cream 700 once a week and pair with calm face mask and barrier cream. After applying the face cream my skin gets so red, blotchy, itchy and puffy. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Also the second it touches my neck it gets so bad!! Also, when I wake up in the morning I still feel the reedles in my skin and when I apply my morning routine it also make my face super red and irritated. Any advice on how to combat this would be great because I like the product I just don’t like how bad it makes my face and neck feel. Maybe I just need to give it up but I don’t wanna :(

I think it may be because you’re doing a lot of Reedle shot serums at once and just need to tone it down a bit. I would say ditch the 700 for now, and try sticking with just 100. As your skin increases its tolerance, then slowly incorporate the stronger strengths. Personally, I have somewhat sensitive oily-leaning combination skin, and I stick with just the 100 and 300 for now and it’s been doing just fine. Also, just in case you didn’t know, VT cosmetics recommend never combining different concentrations in the same day. ❤️

Every time when I touch my skin I can feel the Reedle shots. Even in the next morning! However, I did not experience any skin’s irritation at all.

I've yet to try the reedle shots, but I heard it can be irritating for some people especially at higher shots. It seems that you might be overexfoliating considering how often you're using all of them. Red irritated skin is a sign that your skin is not happy so I suggest to stop using the reedle shots for now to prevent from damaging your skin barrier. Give it a break and reintroduce the reedle shots slowly once your skin is not irritated anymore. I think it's best to finish up the 100 first to build tolerance before levelling up to the 300 and 700 shots.

Please give your skin a break, as I can see you are using reedle shots daily! I really don’t think you are supposed to use all of them in a week! You either use 100 everyday or stick to either 300 or 700 2-3 times a week, stop using all 3 of them, it’s definitely way too much. For now just stop using all of them and let your skin heal. And of course you still feel the needles in the morning, they are not just entering and staying in your skin 😬

You’re definitely right, I feel the instructions were a little unclear and I was supposed to use all 3 every week but most definitely going to stop for a bit and let me skin heal ❤️ thank you!!!
