Search #VTReedleShot on TikTok and you get the idea. The trendy ingredient? Spicules. These microscopic, needle-like silica structures are said to improve the delivery of active ingredients into the skin, with a gentle peeling effect to improve skin cell turnover.<\/p>\n<p>Given all the hype, I was excited to try this viral product when it landed on my desk. Half-nervous about applying needle-like molecules to my skin, I\u2019m pleased to report that I only experienced a slight tingly sensation after application. It didn\u2019t feel all that different from applying any other serum with active acid ingredients like AHAs.<\/p>\n<p>PSA: don\u2019t use this together with the other VT Reedle Shot products. The brand has a series of 100, 300, and 700, with increasing amounts of spicules (or \u2018cica reedles\u2019) with each number. Start from 100 and build your tolerance up, similar to retinol.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve since noticed an improvement in skin texture, though it didn\u2019t do much for old acne scars. It also sped up the healing process of new zits (thanks, hormones), so it\u2019s definitely keeping its spot on my vanity. I\u2019ve yet to experience increased skin luminosity, but it hasn\u2019t been long since I started using this serum, so I\u2019m keeping my fingers crossed!<br \/>\n<em>-Amelia Ang<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Numbuzin No 5 Vitamin Concentrated Serum<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_292542\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-292542\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-292542 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/K-beauty-skincare-review-no-5-vitamin-serum-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"K-beauty skincare review - no 5 vitamin serum\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/K-beauty-skincare-review-no-5-vitamin-serum-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/K-beauty-skincare-review-no-5-vitamin-serum-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/K-beauty-skincare-review-no-5-vitamin-serum.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-292542\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Helmy Jumadi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Numbuzin is a popular brand right now, so when I got the chance to give the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@caspertheghostyy\/video\/7302747860800507144?q=numbuzin%20no%205%20serum&amp;t=1709044292227\">No 5 Vitamin Concentrated Serum<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/uncovermyskincare.com\/products\/numbuzin-no-5-vitamin-concentrated-serum-30ml\">shop here<\/a>) a go, I dove right in. I love the fact that it came with a dropper for application \u2013 it\u2019s more sanitary as I\u2019m less likely to contaminate the whole bottle if I accidentally touch an applicator. The formula is light and absorbs quickly, so I can move to the rest of my routine with little interruption. And didn\u2019t feel heavy on my face despite its viscosity.<\/p>\n<p>As someone with fair skin, it didn\u2019t take long for me to notice the changes in my complexion. The freckles I\u2019ve had for ages lightened up quite a bit, and my skin did become brighter. Pretty impressive considering the effects of most vitamin C serums take at least a month to show (and I only used it for two weeks!).<\/p>\n<p>My only gripe is that for something marketed as a glutathione serum, glutathione (a hot new anti-ageing ingredient) wasn\u2019t high on the ingredients list. It seems like a lot of other components (like niacinamide) are doing most of the work, but that doesn\u2019t take away from its positive effects!<br \/>\n<em>-Ashe Liao<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Skin1004 Hyalu-cica water-fit sun serum<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_292541\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-292541\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-292541 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/K-beauty-skincare-review-skin1004-hyalu-cica-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"K-beauty skincare review - skin1004 hyalu-cica\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/K-beauty-skincare-review-skin1004-hyalu-cica-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/K-beauty-skincare-review-skin1004-hyalu-cica-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/K-beauty-skincare-review-skin1004-hyalu-cica.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-292541\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Helmy Jumadi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Having oily skin, sunscreen is one skincare step I&#8217;m always tempted to skip (though I know that it\u2019s one of the most important steps!). Sunscreens can be notorious for leaving a greasy residue on the skin \u2013 and who enjoys dealing with a shiny face after a long day? Naturally, I&#8217;m constantly on the lookout for a sunscreen that will keep my skin moisturised all day, sans the sheen.<\/p>\n<p>Said to be hydrating and suitable for all skin types, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/shorts\/7iaQRxfIE2s\">Skin1004\u2019s Hyalu-cica water-fit sun serum<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/uncovermyskincare.com\/products\/skin1004-madagascar-centella-hyalu-cica-water-fit-sun-serum-50ml\">shop here<\/a>) seems promising. Right off the bat, I love its smooth and lightweight texture which makes application a breeze. The formula sets into my skin quickly, without leaving a greasy and sticky feeling or that dreaded white cast. It does give a slightly dewy finish, so it may not be ideal for those who prefer a matte look.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and bonus points for its affordability, too. All things considered, I can see this sunscreen remaining a staple in my skincare collection, especially for glowy makeup looks.<br \/>\n<em>-Yuki Ling<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Roundlab Birch Moisturising Sunscreen<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_292546\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-292546\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-292546 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/K-beauty-skincare-review-roundlab-birch-sunscreen-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"K-beauty skincare review - roundlab birch sunscreen\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/K-beauty-skincare-review-roundlab-birch-sunscreen-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/K-beauty-skincare-review-roundlab-birch-sunscreen-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/K-beauty-skincare-review-roundlab-birch-sunscreen.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-292546\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Helmy Jumadi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>We all need sunscreen, especially in the tropical heat. But finding a good one isn\u2019t easy. As someone who has struggled to find a sunscreen that doesn&#8217;t leave an unsightly white cast, I was glad to discover <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@yoongrace\/video\/7294094266492652842?q=round%20lab%20sunscreen%20korea&amp;t=1709034743043\">Roundlab\u2019s Birch Moisturising Sunscreen<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/uncovermyskincare.com\/products\/birch-moisturizing-sunscreen-spf-50-pa-50ml\">shop here<\/a>). One of the standout features? It blended seamlessly into my skin, leaving behind no trace of that dreaded white residue. This is a game-changer for me, as it ensures that my complexion remains radiant and even-toned without any ashy or chalky appearance.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, its moisturising and lightweight formula instantly provided hydration to my skin without feeling heavy or greasy. Unlike many other sunscreens I\u2019ve tried, this product nourishes and hydrates, leaving behind a soft, supple finish that lasts throughout the day. I\u2019d say it&#8217;s the perfect solution for those with dry or combination skin types who seek both sun protection and moisture.<br \/>\n<em>-Elizabeth Wu<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Mixsoon Bean Essence<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_292543\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-292543\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-292543 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/Viral-Korean-skincare-review-mixsoon-bean-essence-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"Viral Korean skincare review- mixsoon bean essence\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/Viral-Korean-skincare-review-mixsoon-bean-essence-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/Viral-Korean-skincare-review-mixsoon-bean-essence-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/Viral-Korean-skincare-review-mixsoon-bean-essence.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-292543\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Helmy Jumadi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>After seeing countless TikTok reviews of this viral product, I was thrilled to finally get my hands on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@mimi.alxt\/video\/7304780293490101537?q=mixsoon%20bean%20essence%20korea&amp;t=1709034893536\">Mixsoon Bean Essence<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/uncovermyskincare.com\/products\/mixsoon-bean-essence-50ml\">shop here<\/a>). Made from fermented soybean extract, this essence-exfoliator hybrid is said to boost hydration, strengthen the skin barrier, even out skin texture and tone, and refine pores.<\/p>\n<p>In this economy, multitasking products are like music to my ears. I use it daily as an essence by patting it onto my skin, or as an exfoliator (twice a week) by gently rubbing the product on problem areas where large pores, blackheads, and dead skin cells reside. Once I feel the residue accumulating on my fingers, I wipe it away with a toner pad.<\/p>\n<p>At first, I was sceptical about the viscous texture clogging up my oily skin. That quickly faded away when my skin drank up the product almost immediately, leaving me looking like a healthy glazed donut. I love how this gives my skin a smooth texture; it&#8217;s also a hydrating base for makeup.<br \/>\n<em>-Nicole Nithiyah<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Skinfood Carrot Carotene Water Pad<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_292544\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-292544\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-292544 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/K-beauty-skincare-review-skinfood-carrot-toner-pads-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"K-beauty skincare review -skinfood carrot toner pads\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/K-beauty-skincare-review-skinfood-carrot-toner-pads-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/K-beauty-skincare-review-skinfood-carrot-toner-pads-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/K-beauty-skincare-review-skinfood-carrot-toner-pads.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-292544\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Helmy Jumadi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@thuytien_x\/video\/7326941782246231328?q=skinfood%20carrot%20carotene%20toner%20pad&amp;t=1709044962214\">Skinfood\u2019s Carrot Carotene Water Pad<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/uncovermyskincare.com\/products\/skinfood-carrot-carotene-calming-water-pad\">shop here<\/a>) is the talk of the town in the land of K-beauty at the moment. With many influencers promoting this product, I was keen to give it a go. I like how it\u2019s super easy to use. Think of it like a mask (or as a substitute to the usual toners, where you have to buy the cotton pads separately) \u2013 simply place the pads on your face, leave them for 10 to 15 minutes, go about your day, and remove them afterwards.<\/p>\n<p>My skin feels more hydrated right after putting on the product and leaving it on for 10 minutes, but I can\u2019t tell if it makes a difference for the rest of the day. This is probably something I\u2019d use for my nighttime self-care routine before bed \u2013 only because of the short wait (I don\u2019t have that kind of patience and time to spare in the morning).<\/p>\n<p>The only downside is that the pads tear quite easily if you don\u2019t grip them properly. But, they\u2019re still perfectly still usable. I like that it\u2019s great for fitting the contours of my face snugly, as compared to one-size-fits-all sheet masks.<br \/>\n<em>-Marcus Khoo<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Manyo Pure Cleansing Oil<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_292545\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-292545\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-292545 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/Viral-Korean-skincare-review-Manyo-cleanser-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"Viral Korean skincare review - Manyo cleanser\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/Viral-Korean-skincare-review-Manyo-cleanser-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/Viral-Korean-skincare-review-Manyo-cleanser-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/Viral-Korean-skincare-review-Manyo-cleanser.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-292545\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Helmy Jumadi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>When it comes to my double-cleansing routine, I prefer balms to oils.
