How to use

REEDLE SHOT
GUIDE

1) REEDLE SHOT is a skin-care booster used as a first step after
cleansing. Apply an appropriate amount to a clean, bare face.

2) Massage over the face in a rolling motion to boost absorption
and finish by pressing your face firmly with your hands.

3) Please adjust the amount and frequency of use according
to your skin’s condition and be sure to follow up with a
moisturizer and sunscreen before going out.

4) MILD REEDLE SHOT 50 can be used together with products
of different content, but do not use REEDLE SHOT
100/300/700/1000 at the same time. Please refer to the
[Calendar] below when using the products together.

*REEDLE SHOT is an intensive skin-care regimen that may cause a tingling
sensation, and the level of tingling varies depending on its content.
We recommend using the MILD REEDLE SHOT 50 or REEDLE SHOT 100,
which are the least intense for first-time use.

Precautions for using the
REEDLE SHOT

Do not use with a beauty device.

Exposure to high temperature, light, and
stimulation from LED masks or other skin-care
devices can cause severe skin irritation and is not
recommended for use with the product.

Do not use immediately after
dermatological procedures.

After dermatological procedures, the skin is highly
irritated so it is recommended that you wait until
the skin has fully recovered before using the product.
(Recommended to wait at least 2 weeks before use;
do not use if you experience any side effects after
laser treatment)

If you have sensitive skin that is susceptible
to pain, perform a test on the local area before use.

(Local area pretest: test on the inside of your arm or behind
your earlobe to check for allergies before use)

Avoid using on wounded areas of the skin.

Be careful not to get it into your eyes or on the lips.

Redness, stinging, burning, dryness, and itching
may occur after use, but these symptoms are
from the nature of the ingredients of CICA REEDLETM
and should be avoided if you are sensitive to these skin
reactions.
It will subside over time and is not a common side effect,
but keep in mind that it can happen.

Recommended to use after recovery when
you have viral sores on your skin

If you have viral infection such as herpes
(wherein acyclovir ointment is prescribed)

You may experience skin peeling after using the
product, but this is a reaction to the product’s
exfoliation process. Thus, do not remove the
dead skin cells deliberately, and just moisturize
the skin thoroughly as it will gradually exfoliate
your skin for a smoother and softer feel with
a continued use of REEDLE SHOT.

Tingling sensation may vary.

The tingling sensation may vary from person
to person because of individual differences and
conditions, differences in pain sensitivity, and
variations in the content of natural ingredients.

If you have been using REEDLE SHOT products
continuously for more than 6 months, your skin
may become duller than it was when you first
applied it. If you notice this, we recommend
taking a break of about 2–3 weeks before
using the product again.

Q. Are REEDLE SHOT 300 and REEDLE SHOT 300 FACIAL
BOOSTING FIRST AMPOULE the same?

REEDLE SHOT 300 and REEDLE SHOT 300 FACIAL BOOSTING FIRST
AMPOULE have the same main ingredients, but the specific formulation
ratio is different. REEDLE SHOT FACIAL BOOSTING FIRST AMPOULE is
a trial product that is recommended to be used once immediately after
opening, so it can be used once per pack, totaling 6 times. The existing
REEDLE SHOT 300 comes in an airless container that can be used freshly
at any time in the desired amount, and the number of times and duration
of use can be adjusted according to individual usage.
*This is an entry-level cost-effective product with the same main
ingredients but different formulations, packaging, and dosage.

Q. I have a tingling sensation after using it. Would that be OK?

REEDLE SHOT contains micro-sized, naturally occurring microparticles
that may sting when applied, but they will be shed naturally with
dead skin cells. We recommend adjusting the amount and
frequency of use according to your skin.

Q. Is it applicable to sensitive skin?

The REEDLE SHOT 100 has completed patch testing on sensitive skin,
noncomedogenic testing, and primary skin irritation testing in Japan.
However, we recommend that you test on a small area of your skin
before use, hydrate the skin sufficiently, and avoid intense heat and UV rays.

Q. Are there any ingredients that shouldn’t be used with REEDLE SHOT?

None, but if an ingredient is warned to irritate, test it first and adjust
the amount and frequency.
