Summary of usage order and precautions to maximize the VT Riddle Shot effect.

Riddleshot is mentioned as a product whose feel can vary greatly depending on “how it is applied (order, combination, management).”

 

This is the reason why some people say “it’s okay” while others feel “their skin has become sensitive” even when using the same product.

So it's important to organize the usage (order) + parallel combination + stimulus management all at once.

 

The key to using Riddleshot “safely and with less shaking” Order: Washing face → (Toner) → Riddle Shot → (Serum/Essence) → Moisturizer Application conditions: Completely dry skin + avoid sensitive areas Care: Moisturizing/soothing enhancement, avoiding irritating and allergy-causing ingredients Discontinuation criteria: Discontinue if symptoms including itching persist for more than a few days + consult Parallel ingredients: Centella/Panthenol/Hyaluronic acid/Ceramide/Niacinamide/Tocopherol/Adenosine Combinations of caution: Retinol and high-concentration vitamin C are generally not recommended. If necessary, use "non-irritating alone + separate timing + start low."

Riddleshot definition

Riddleshot is advertised as containing 'Cica Riddle' (invisible micro needles).

These microneedles create tiny holes in the stratum corneum, helping the active ingredients penetrate deeper.

• Composition: Cica Riddle (fine needle)

• Key Points: Penetration aid + Skin may become sensitive, so care is required

Riddleshot principle

The principle is two-fold.

1. Formation of micropores in the stratum corneum

• The passages created by the cicatrices help the active ingredients penetrate “deeper”.

2. Promotes regeneration during micro-wound repair

• It is known that skin regeneration is promoted during the recovery process after micro-stimulation.

⚠️ Important point here
There is a difference between “it can get better” and “it always gets better.”
People who feel their skin is turned over or has become sensitive are mentioned.

 

How to use Riddleshot

1) Recommended usage order

Wash your face → Toner → Riddle Shot → Serum/Essence → Moisturizer

• Toner can be omitted depending on your skin condition (not a required step)

• Moisturizers are emphasized for their ability to prevent moisture evaporation.

 

2) Step-by-step points

① Washing your face

• Removes dirt and sebum, but a mild cleanser is recommended.

• Avoid excessive scrubbing/rough washing

• Reason: Riddleshot can partially damage the skin barrier, so over-stimulation can increase the burden.

② Toner (optional)

• Role: pH balance, removal of residual waste

• Can be omitted depending on skin condition

③ Applying Riddle Shot

• Apply evenly when skin is sufficiently dry

• Avoid sensitive areas such as around the eyes and mouth.

• Press gently with your palm to aid absorption

• Reaction: Stinging/redness may be a normal reaction, but if it is severe or lasts a long time, check for side effects.

④ Serum/essence (if necessary)

• Purpose: When you want immediate soothing or specific skin concern care.

⑤ Moisturizer (important)

• Reason: As the sica lids can increase moisture evaporation, protection with moisturizing is necessary.

• Case: If the moisturizer itself contains active ingredients, it is said that it is okay to integrate the serum/essence step and use only the moisturizer.

 

caution

1) Skin to avoid use on

• severely sensitive skin

• pimple

• Patients with chronic inflammatory skin diseases such as rosacea

also,

• Overuse or neglect of the cycle has been cited as a risk for developing sensitive skin in the long term.

2) When symptoms persist

• Mild redness/stinging may be normal, but

• If symptoms including itching persist for more than a few days,
  → Stop using + consult a specialist.

3) Before and after use

It is moisturizing, soothing, and hypoallergenic.

• Increased moisture loss → Soothe/protect with a moisturizing product

• Products used together have fewer irritating ingredients and a lower risk of causing allergies.

• Avoid allergens such as fragrances and preservatives.

• Wash your hands thoroughly before use (hygiene)

 

Guide to Combining Ingredients That Work Well Together

Ingredients that can be used in parallel without any problems

• Soothing/Recovery: Centella asiatica, panthenol

• Moisturizing/Barrier Strengthening: Hyaluronic Acid, Ceramide

• Skin tone/anti-aging: niacinamide, tocopherol, adenosine

Selection criteria

• Sensitive/dry → Soothing and moisturizing first

• Oily/troubled skin → Focus on sebum control/tone-related ingredients

• Complex selection is also possible within a reasonable range.

Caution with powerful ingredients (retinol, high-concentration vitamin C)

It is not recommended to use in parallel as it is very irritating to most skin.

 

However, if you consider parallelism,

• Prerequisite: If there was no irritation when using the ingredient alone

• Method: Observe for a certain period of time after differentiating the time of use (e.g., Riddle Shot in the evening, Vitamin C in the morning).

• Start: Start with a low level of Riddleshot (e.g. 300 → 100)

The key is not to “combine too hard,” but to break down the stimuli into “manageable levels.”
