Last night on HSN Beauty Report Chelsea and Amy presented this new product. I was a bit intrigued. It goes on as a liquid but acts as a micro needling of the skin. It contains spicules from sponge that acts as the exfoliator instead of a gadget or tool to do it.

@Shelbelle  Dr.Dray did a video talking about Spicules, she didn't seem to be a fan. Also discussions on Reddit as well.

Spicules used in skincare is nothing new...goes back centuries in traditional Korean herbal medicine practices. It's an alternative to microneedling and can be used to help deliver ingredients into the skin via tiny holes created from the spicules.

I know very little about K Beauty so it was new to me except for the tool that Beauty Bio has that does this same thing.

Some skincare companies use diamond dust in their products and what that does is provide micro-exfoliation to allow the active ingredients to penetrate easier. Same principle using spicules but spicules dissolve in the upper skin layers whereas diamond dust remains on the surface and gets washed away.

That sounds like Dr Kaplan's One Minute Facial

There is also a beauty spy peptide serum(10 peptides) on clearance, got me interested. Any thoughts? Has anyone tried this? Has 3.3 stars. Only drawback I see is, peptides are mostly at the bottom of the deck & low percentages & way too many ingredients.

I agree, way too many ingredients to be effective

I had to go watch HSN about this product. Interesting but having tried a few items from this line-- that did nothing for my skin, at all, I sent it all back. Hope anyone that gets this let's us know how it works.
