I definitely noticed my skin texture felt smoother after cleansing when I used it, and there's a noticeable difference in my skin when I use it versus when I don't. I used it together with an EGF PDRN ampoule and was very satisfied. I plan to repurchase! While it's recommended to use once daily for the 100-shot product, I suggest adjusting the frequency based on your skin's condition.
ConsWhen your skin is in poor condition, using products that cause irritation can lead to flare-ups, so it's best to use this according to your skin's current state.
TipRecommendedI found great synergy in using this product along with the EGF ampoule sold together. Also, applying a gel mask afterwards really helps to boost absorption.

It seems suitable for daily use without any issues. I'd recommend it for beginners, and it absorbs well on the skin.
ConsRecommendedThe accessibility of purchase locations is slightly disappointing. I suggest stocking up when you buy it.

Since it's quite affordable, my boyfriend bought me a bunch, so I've been using it consistently. Reading the instructions carefully, it says you can use the 100 concentration daily, and the 300 concentration about twice a week. (Even though it's a functional product, I didn't hesitate to try it as it wasn't too intimidating.) I'm not a professional cosmetics reviewer and I don't get paid for writing reviews.
ConsPeople trying spicules or retinol for the first time might be surprised by the tingling sensation. Although this sensation is only temporary, the Spicule 100 is more of an entry-level daily product. (It's not strong enough to control oiliness for those with oily skin.)
TipI've heard that hydration and soothing products can help with the tingling sensation from spicules or retinol.

Definitely noticed improved absorption after use. Even with my usual skincare routine, I could feel my skin quickly drinking it up. It really delivers on its promises.
ConsI don't have any complaints. I hope they continue to maintain this quality without changes. However, those with super sensitive skin should, of course, carefully consider before choosing this product.
TipRecommendedWorks well when used alongside products containing EGF or other regenerative ingredients. Remember to finish with a hydration-packed step for best results.

It doesn't sting as much as expected, and I only bought one during the free shipping promotion - great value for money.
ConsSkin becomes very dry. I'm someone who usually doesn't need moisturizer even in winter, but after layering this serum three times and applying moisturizer, I still get flaky skin around blemishes. Seems it should only be used on inflamed acne spots.
TipRecommendedMake sure to focus on hydration and moisture! Create a hydration barrier with hydrating serums, moisturizers, and emulsions!

You can get it really cheap if you buy it from Cou*. It's similar to the Daiso Riddle Shot 100 with a slight tingling sensation, making it suitable for daily use with mild stimulation. Good stuff!
ConsIt's a popular product, but I'm a bit disappointed by the sticky finish compared to the Daiso Riddle Shot. Even if you apply a toner first and layer on lots of moisturizer afterwards, the lingering dryness seems to be an unavoidable drawback of Riddle Shot.
TipRecommendedIf you find applying moisturizer feels heavy, try using a gel mask. I found that using a gel mask and then adding a bit of moisturizer on top leaves my skin much less dry and feels much better.

When you have a slight buildup of dead skin cells that's not quite enough for physical exfoliation, using this helps refine your skin texture. 2. It enhances the effectiveness of the products you apply afterwards. 3. The price point is wallet-friendly.
ConsRecommended1. On days when you have excessive dead skin cells, it's better not to use this at all. 2. It causes a tingling sensation, so avoid applying it around the eyes. If you need to use a separate product for the eye area, make sure to wash your hands first.

Not sticky 2. Affordable price 3. Tube packaging Repurchase intention: Maybe. The 100 strength was less irritating than expected. I'd like to try the 300 strength.
ConsRecommendedWhile there aren't any particular downsides, I didn't notice any improvement in my pores.
