If you’re a fan of Korean skincare, you’ve likely heard of the VT Reedle Shot facial serums—those famous “microneedling in a bottle” treatments. Well, VT Cosmetics has officially brought that same technology to our lips with the VT Reedle Shot Lip Plumper

The beauty world was buzzing about this one because it doesn’t just use “spice to plump, it uses Cica Reedle™ technology (micro-sized mineral needles) to help active ingredients like Volufiline and Hyaluronic Acid penetrate deeper (or so that’s what the description says).But does it actually give you that filler-look, or is it just a painful trend? I put it to the test and here’s what I found.
The Application
According to the instructions, I was to apply it to my lips and wait 2 to 3 minutes. Initially after applying I didn’t feel stinging but within 10 seconds the burning started. It’s not painful but it’s uncomfortable for a few minutes. Your lips will continue to feel a mild sting for some time but it’s definitley mild and not like the initial sting. My biggest challenge was forgetting that I wasn’t supposed to lick my lips right away.
My Actual Review: 4 Out of 5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐
After trying it out, here is my honest breakdown:
- The Results: It definitely worked! After the initial application, I did notice my lips were plumper and had a fuller appearance. But let me know what you think after seeing the video
- The Ouch Factor is real—it basically feels like I kissed a bee for the first few minutes. While my younger self would have happily endured this torture daily for the sake of a perfect pout, my current self prefers to keep it for a special occassion.
- When to Use It: While it’s not my running to the grocery store gloss, I would definitely use it before a night out. If you want your lips to look great for photos or a date it’s worth having in your arsenal.
The Verdict
The VT Reedle Shot Lip Plumper is an upgrade to the classic plumper. If you can handle a few minutes of discomfort for a fuller pout, it’s a great addition to your vanity.
Final Tip: Be careful not to lick your lips right after applying—you do not want those reedles on your tongue!
