Tip: Reedle Shot products are active serums, and the line includes retinol, acids and vitamin C. Patch-test first, start with the lowest tier (Reedle Shot 50 or 100), use them every other evening at first and increase gradually. Do not layer several actives in one routine, and use sunscreen every morning. The glycolic body mist and the scalp shampoo are exfoliating too, so avoid broken or irritated skin.
