Plodica Reedle Shot 700 is exactly what it sounds like — tiny spiky crystals that stab your skin 700 times per application. Sounds insane. Works better than my last three exfoliants combined.
The real kicker: these aren’t microneedles. They’re crystallized *sponge spicules* — basically sea sponge skeletons ground into microscopic darts. Your skin freaks out and rebuilds itself. Felt like a scam. It’s not.

₩45,000 (~$34) for 30ml. Brand claims it “reconstructs the dermis layer” by creating micro-channels for ingredients to actually penetrate. I bought it because I’m tired of retinoids doing nothing for my boxcar scars.
Reedle size
700 means biggest needles — definitely not beginner-friendly. Start at 100 or 300 unless you hate your moisture barrier
Application method
Pump, pat, don’t rub. Rubbing grinds the crystals into your skin wrong — you’ll look sunburned for hours
Frequency
Twice a week max. More isn’t better. Your face needs to chill between stabbings

Three ingredients doing heavy lifting. The reedle crystals are the delivery system — the real magic is what follows them into your skin. Centella soothes the chaos, EGF rebuilds the damage, and niacinamide keeps inflammation from spiraling.
- Reedle Crystals (Sponge Spicules): Create 700 micro-channels per pump — physically force ingredients deeper than they’d go alone
- Centella Asiatica Extract: Calms the sting so you don’t peel your face off an hour later
- EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor): Tells your cells to hurry up with collagen production — faster scar turnover
- Niacinamide: Keeps pores tight and redness down while the needles do their thing

First pump — watery gel with gritty bits. Pat it on and you feel it. Not painful, but you *know* something is happening. Tingling that fades after 90 seconds. Skin looks flushed for about 20 minutes — like you just ran up stairs.
Week 3: My ice pick scars look softer. Not gone — but the edges aren’t as sharp. What surprised me: it actually helped my hormonal chin acne heal faster. Lesions that usually take a week flattened in 3 days. Didn’t expect that.

After 6 weeks: shallow scars look 40% improved. Deep ones? Maybe 15%. Texture is noticeably smoother — foundation sits better. What didn’t change: my pore size and that one stubborn scar near my jawline. It’s not a laser.

Not a replacement for professional treatments, but the best at-home scar-fader I’ve tested this year. Buy the 100 version first unless you’re brave.
