Don't worry, it sounds scarier than it is:
Between injectables, fillers, "vampire" facials and derma rollers, suffice it to say that needles in beauty aren't exactly a new concept. Well, put your sharp object ennui on hold for a hot second, because a new breed of needles is coming for your face — or, at least, into your skin-care products.
The benefit of infusing products with "needles," according to both brands, is that it allows the ingredients to be delivered deeper into the epidermis, where they can be more effective than if they were just slathered on top. But, whereas microneedling requires a separate tool and can be a time-consuming additional step, these types of products give you all the benefits without the extra hassle.
Upon application, the darts physically penetrate the two top layers of the skin, causing a slight tingling sensation and leaving tiny holes on the skin's surface, though it's more of a brief stinging feeling than anything outright painful. It’s both gratifying and trippy. Over a two-hour time period, says Kaplan, the darts dissolve, releasing both the hyaluronic acid and the active ingredients into the epidermis to target a pimple before it reaches the surface.
Limitations aside, it remains to be seen if this concept is something that will catch on in the industry as a whole or will remain somewhat of a novelty. Kaplan, unsurprisingly, believes that this is the future of skin care. Once people realize that how ingredients get to your skin is just as important as the actual formulas themselves, he notes, it's only a matter of time before brands will evolve.
