That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s become synonymous with &#8220;needle-free&#8221; or &#8220;liquid&#8221; microneedling, since you&#8217;re creating tiny, temporary holes in the skin without using, well, actual needles. Over time (a few days, give or take), these microspears dissolve in your skin with natural cell turnover.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"elk-what-are-their-skincare-benefits\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-body__section\" id=\"section-what-are-their-skincare-benefits\"><span>What Are Their Skincare Benefits? <\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"elk-0935991d-faca-4273-ad09-26e6846d3d0d\">As Park mentioned, spicules help enhance the penetration of other active ingredients. By creating those microchannels in your skin, your potent serums can travel deeper into the skin and result in faster, more effective results. Those microchannels also stimulate <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.whowhatwear.com\/beauty\/skin\/best-collagen-beauty-products\" target=\"_blank\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.whowhatwear.com\/beauty\/skin\/best-collagen-beauty-products\" data-hl-processed=\"none\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"inline-link\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.whowhatwear.com\/beauty\/skin\/best-collagen-beauty-products\">collagen production<\/a> by kickstarting your skin&#8217;s wound healing process, similar to actual microneedling, without wreaking too much havoc on the barrier. Spicules also just generally enhance skin cell turnover, which is great for those who need a little extra help clearing their pores.<\/p>\n<p>TL;DR?

Compared to microneedling, however, the effect is far more superficial and less controlled.&#8221; Essentially, no spicule serum will deliver the same result as a professional microneedling treatment. (No at-home skincare formula will ever replace the effects of an in-office procedure, as a matter of fact.)<\/p>\n<p><template data-slice-id=\"slice-newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-pRXBncoCJLwuiFzrarQmQ6\" data-slice-class=\"newsletter-inbodyContent-slice\"\/><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Spicule skincare sits in a very specific &#8216;in-between&#8217; category,&#8221; adds Marc. &#8220;It\u2019s more active than traditional exfoliation but less invasive than in-office procedures.&#8221; For those on the hunt for a happy medium, it may be the perfect solution. That said, if you have very sensitive, <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.whowhatwear.com\/rosacea\" target=\"_blank\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.whowhatwear.com\/rosacea\" data-hl-processed=\"none\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"inline-link\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.whowhatwear.com\/rosacea\">rosacea-prone<\/a>, or highly-inflamed skin (like, say, from a recent <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.whowhatwear.com\/skin-tightening-treatments\" target=\"_blank\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.whowhatwear.com\/skin-tightening-treatments\" data-hl-processed=\"none\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"inline-link\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.whowhatwear.com\/skin-tightening-treatments\">skin-tightening procedure<\/a>), experts say you should probably steer clear.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"elk-are-spicules-safe-in-skincare\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-body__section\" id=\"section-are-spicules-safe-in-skincare\"><span>Are Spicules Safe in Skincare? <\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"elk-1a3ce252-77d7-4b7b-b0b9-8673477d9a4a\">Short answer: Yes, assuming you&#8217;re using a high-quality, cosmetic-grade product (don&#8217;t worry; you&#8217;ll find recs just ahead). You might feel a slight prickly sensation as you rub in a spicule-infused serum, but it shouldn&#8217;t feel at all painful. For what it&#8217;s worth, I&#8217;d rate my professional liquid microneedling treatment a six out of 10 on the spiciness scale, and products designed for at-home use are much, much gentler.<\/p>\n<p>That said, spicule-infused skincare exists on a spectrum\u2014and more intensity does not always equal better results. &#8220;I am a fan of spicule skincare when it is formulated with restraint.

At the end of the day, spicules are foreign microscopic structures you&#8217;re introducing to the skin. Yes, they&#8217;re meant to shed naturally with your skin&#8217;s cell turnover, but everyone&#8217;s skin is different. &#8220;Individual skin responses can vary\u2014especially in patients with sensitive skin, underlying inflammatory conditions, or impaired skin barriers,&#8221; Park adds.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout \" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"\" id=\"elk-91e7de5b-b10b-4a18-8e7f-beecd1871225\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\" style=\"max-width:1440px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:133.33%;\"> <picture data-new-v2-image=\"true\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/i584ncbtxDFt5ytWBfjFKc-1440-80.jpg.webp 1920w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/i584ncbtxDFt5ytWBfjFKc-1440-80.jpg.webp 1600w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/i584ncbtxDFt5ytWBfjFKc-1280-80.jpg.webp 1280w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/i584ncbtxDFt5ytWBfjFKc-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/i584ncbtxDFt5ytWBfjFKc-768-80.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/i584ncbtxDFt5ytWBfjFKc-415-80.jpg.webp 415w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/i584ncbtxDFt5ytWBfjFKc-360-80.jpg.webp 360w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/i584ncbtxDFt5ytWBfjFKc-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 710px) 670px, calc(100vw - 30px)\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Photo of a woman taking a selfie wearing a white tank top\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/i584ncbtxDFt5ytWBfjFKc-1440-80.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/i584ncbtxDFt5ytWBfjFKc-1440-80.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/i584ncbtxDFt5ytWBfjFKc-1280-80.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/i584ncbtxDFt5ytWBfjFKc-1024-80.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/i584ncbtxDFt5ytWBfjFKc-768-80.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/i584ncbtxDFt5ytWBfjFKc-415-80.jpg 415w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/i584ncbtxDFt5ytWBfjFKc-360-80.jpg 360w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/i584ncbtxDFt5ytWBfjFKc-320-80.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 710px) 670px, calc(100vw - 30px)\" loading=\"lazy\" data-new-v2-image=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/i584ncbtxDFt5ytWBfjFKc.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/i584ncbtxDFt5ytWBfjFKc.jpg\" class=\"rounded-[var(--image--border-radius,0)]\"\/>\n<\/picture><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p id=\"elk-0ebb6faa-f967-45a9-ab0e-c0189f70bb4c\">If you <em>really <\/em>want to dive into the science, spicules rely on your skin&#8217;s proteolytic enzymes, which naturally break down proteins and clear foreign material (like microscopic sponge particles). &#8220;If enzyme activity is low or impaired, the particles may persist longer than intended,&#8221; Marc explains. Factors like age, barrier health, hydration, pH, and underlying skin conditioners can impair this activity, but there&#8217;s not a solid way to measure it. &#8220;Instead, we can only assess it indirectly through signs like sluggish desquamation, buildup of dead skin cells, sensitivity, or delayed healing,&#8221; Marc adds. So if you&#8217;re dealing with any of those woes after using a spicule serum, it could be a sign that your skin might not be dissolving those particles properly.<\/p>\n<p>The key?

Marc recommends using a small amount (&#8220;More product won&#8217;t improve results,&#8221; she says) and pressing the product into the skin as opposed to rubbing aggressively, which can increase irritation.<\/li>\n<li>Follow up with soothing, hydrating products to reinforce the skin barrier, and avoid harsh actives like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whowhatwear.com\/guide-to-retinols\" target=\"_blank\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.whowhatwear.com\/guide-to-retinols\" data-hl-processed=\"none\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.whowhatwear.com\/guide-to-retinols\">retinoids<\/a>, AHAs, and BHAs.<\/li>\n<li>As always, remember to apply proper sun protection the next morning. <a href=\"https:\/\/go.redirectingat.com?id=92X1711942&amp;xcust=whowhatwear_us_4127525054134901871&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sephora.com%2Fproduct%2Fdayscreen-2-in-1-moisturizer-and-spf-30-P520134&amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.whowhatwear.com\" target=\"_blank\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.sephora.com\/product\/dayscreen-2-in-1-moisturizer-and-spf-30-P520134\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\" data-hl-processed=\"skimlinks\" data-google-interstitial=\"false\" data-placeholder-url=\"https:\/\/go.redirectingat.com?id=92X1711942&amp;xcust=hawk-custom-tracking&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sephora.com%2Fproduct%2Fdayscreen-2-in-1-moisturizer-and-spf-30-P520134&amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.whowhatwear.com\"><u>Beauty Of Josen&#8217;s Dayscreen<\/u><\/a> is a personal favorite, as it features green tea and hyaluronic acid for extra soothing benefits.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"elk-661f7c59-f600-42cc-8a4b-ecc443f44eb7\">If you&#8217;re new to spicules, Marc advises introducing them gradually into your routine\u2014say, once or twice a week\u2014and working your way up to a more regular cadence. She also recommends using them only at night to give your skin time to recover and reset.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout \" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"\" id=\"elk-618111cb-8f9c-415b-8170-fb423c2e23e0\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\" style=\"max-width:1206px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:124.96%;\"> <picture data-new-v2-image=\"true\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/i8chXV2RgbZjwM2arhAR6c-1206-80.jpg.webp 1920w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/i8chXV2RgbZjwM2arhAR6c-1206-80.jpg.webp 1600w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/i8chXV2RgbZjwM2arhAR6c-1206-80.jpg.webp 1280w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/i8chXV2RgbZjwM2arhAR6c-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/i8chXV2RgbZjwM2arhAR6c-768-80.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/i8chXV2RgbZjwM2arhAR6c-415-80.jpg.webp 415w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/i8chXV2RgbZjwM2arhAR6c-360-80.jpg.webp 360w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/i8chXV2RgbZjwM2arhAR6c-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 710px) 670px, calc(100vw - 30px)\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Photo of a woman putting on a sheet mask in a white robe\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/i8chXV2RgbZjwM2arhAR6c-1206-80.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/i8chXV2RgbZjwM2arhAR6c-1206-80.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/i8chXV2RgbZjwM2arhAR6c-1206-80.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/i8chXV2RgbZjwM2arhAR6c-1024-80.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/i8chXV2RgbZjwM2arhAR6c-768-80.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/i8chXV2RgbZjwM2arhAR6c-415-80.jpg 415w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/i8chXV2RgbZjwM2arhAR6c-360-80.jpg 360w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/i8chXV2RgbZjwM2arhAR6c-320-80.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 710px) 670px, calc(100vw - 30px)\" loading=\"lazy\" data-new-v2-image=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/i8chXV2RgbZjwM2arhAR6c.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/i8chXV2RgbZjwM2arhAR6c.jpg\" class=\"rounded-[var(--image--border-radius,0)]\"\/>\n<\/picture><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><a id=\"elk-can-you-use-spicules-as-a-spot-treatment\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-body__section\" id=\"section-can-you-use-spicules-as-a-spot-treatment\"><span>Can You Use Spicules As a Spot Treatment? <\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"elk-8513d825-2aff-409b-897b-5c5af30a0a50\">Well\u2026 sort of.
