Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate benefits for your oily skin, as niacinamide helps regulate sebum production and hydrolyzed sponge provides mild exfoliation to improve texture and barrier resilience.
  • Glycerin and sodium hyaluronate offer general hydration, which is supportive but not specifically targeted to address your oily shine concerns.
  • The product is safe for your oily skin, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.

How to apply

  • Use this serum in your PM routine. Start by applying it 3 times a week and build up to daily use if your skin tolerates it well.
  • Apply the serum after cleansing and toning, but right before your moisturizer for the best results.
  • Gently press 2-3 drops of the serum into your skin. Let it absorb ⏱ for a minute before applying the next product.
  • Apply the serum on clean and dry skin since your skin is not sensitive and you want to target oily shine. This helps control excess oil throughout the night.
  • Avoid the delicate eye area and do a patch test before using the serum for the very first time.

People Say

★4.7Overall rating based on 2.2k+ reviews

Based on a very large amount of data, users report this essence significantly improves skin texture and radiance, acting as a powerful booster for enhanced absorption of other products. It is highly effective for smoothing roughness, minimizing pores, and fading acne scars. However, the unique prickly sensation requires tolerance and may be too harsh for sensitive skin barriers.

Questions and answers

How well does VT Reedle Shot 300 work for oily skin?

VT Reedle Shot 300 works moderately well for oily skin, as niacinamide helps control shine and hydrolyzed sponge gently smooths texture. Glycerin and hyaluron add general hydration, but treatments for this skin need ingredients like ferulic acid, zinc pca, or ceramide to better manage excess oil and pores.

Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

Which ingredients make this treatment a good fit for oily skin?

Niacinamide helps regulate sebum production and hydrolyzed sponge provides mild exfoliation to improve texture. To be a better fit for oily skin, a treatment of this type needs ingredients that control oil and manage shine like ferulic acid and zinc PCA, alongside barrier-supporting ingredients such as ceramide NP and panthenol.

What does Centella Asiatica do for oily skin?

Centella asiatica helps calm angry breakouts and adds light moisture without feeling heavy on oily skin. It may also reduce redness and balance the skin barrier.

Molecules, 2023Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 2019

What does Hyaluronic Acid do for oily skin?

Hyaluronic acid helps oily skin by reducing oil production and sebum in the skin. Studies show it decreases lipid synthesis in sebaceous glands without causing irritation.

The Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2017

Where does this treatment go in a skincare routine for oily skin?

This treatment goes in the evening routine after cleansing and before your moisturizer. Treatments with actives are placed in the evening for simplicity and extra safety around sun exposure.

Can I use it with retinol, and in what order?

You can use this treatment with retinol by applying the retinol first and following with this product, or by alternating the nights you use each to help keep your skin calm. Oily skin works best with treatments that include ingredients like niacinamide and salicylic acid to control shine and keep pores clear.

How often should I use it?

Can this treatment clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for oily skin?

Is it fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
