Currently, that spotlight is on <b>spicules<\/b>. If you&#8217;ve spent time on TikTok, you may have come across the <strong>VT Reedle Shot<\/strong>, or heard murmurs about <strong>DR SPI CURE by Dr Esthe<\/strong>, a pharmaceutical Korean line making waves in Asia.<\/p><p>To many, the thought of deliberately applying microscopic needles to the face sounds intimidating. Why would anyone want that? And yet, the fascination grows, because spicules promise something unusual: the possibility of turning your daily serum into something that behaves more like a treatment.<\/p><p>As a doctor, I&#8217;ve had patients ask me about spicules with curiosity in their eyes and hesitation in their voices. Let&#8217;s walk through what they are, what they can and cannot do, and whether they deserve a place in your routine.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1af5dc3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1af5dc3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What exactly are spicules?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-209e612 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"209e612\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Spicules are microscopic, needle-like structures most commonly derived from the <b>endoskeletons of marine sponges<\/b> found in deep waters. If you imagine a sponge&#8217;s skeleton under a microscope, you&#8217;d see a forest of crystalline shards \u2013 these are the spicules. In skincare, they are purified, refined, and suspended in creams, essences, or ampoules. On ingredient lists, they may appear under the names &#8220;sponge&#8221; or &#8220;hydrolysed sponge.&#8221;<\/p><p>When you massage a spicule product into the skin, those crystals penetrate very superficially \u2013 about <b>0.1 to 0.3 millimetres deep<\/b>. That isn&#8217;t enough to cause bleeding, but it is enough to break through the skin&#8217;s natural outer wall, known as the <b>stratum corneum<\/b>. This layer of compacted dead cells and lipids is what protects us from pollutants, infections, and UV rays \u2013 but it also acts as a barrier, making it difficult for skincare actives to penetrate.<\/p><p>Spicules change that by creating <strong>microchannels<\/strong> in the stratum corneum. In layperson&#8217;s terms, they create tiny passageways that enhance the skin&#8217;s permeability, allowing serums and ampoules to work effectively where they&#8217;re needed.<\/p><p>Additionally, spicules serve as a form of <strong>mechanical exfoliation<\/strong>, gently helping to shed rough, dull surface cells as they remain in the skin until they are eventually shed through natural turnover \u2013 a process that takes four to six weeks.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2c98bb3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2c98bb3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What can spicules actually do for the skin?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2840cf5 removemargin elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2840cf5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Spicules are <em>not<\/em> a miracle cure, but they can help make skincare work effectively.<br \/>For acne-prone skin, spicules can help transport anti-inflammatory or antibacterial actives into the epidermis earlier in a pimple&#8217;s cycle, making them helpful against deep, forming lesions.<\/p><p>For pigmentation, they can encourage quicker shedding of pigmented cells, especially when paired with brightening agents like vitamin C or niacinamide.<\/p><p>And for early fine lines, patients sometimes report that their skin looks smoother \u2013 not because the spicules themselves erase wrinkles, but because active ingredients penetrate effectively.<\/p><p>The most consistent result is an improvement in skin texture and radiance.

These studies found that microspheres improved the uptake of large molecules, such as RNA and growth factors, in pig skin by creating microchannels.<\/p><p>With human skin, evidence is sparse. <a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC5383744\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A small Korean study<\/a> involving 20 participants examined the effect of spicules and found an improvement in wrinkles and dermal density in individuals who used spicules with growth factors, compared to those who used growth factors alone. <\/p><p>However, the study did not control for lifestyle or skincare habits, so the results must be interpreted cautiously. Reported side effects were mild, usually transient, and included redness and prickling sensations that resolved within minutes.<\/p><p>These findings are encouraging, but they also highlight the need for more research.

It stimulates collagen production and remodelling, making it effective for scars, wrinkles, and skin laxity.<\/p><p><strong>Spicules<\/strong>, by contrast, remain superficial.
