CONC LABO Hyalo-Cica Rich Shot, 2.5ml

(1) Hollow micro-needle delivers hyaluronic acid and CICA directly into the stratum corneum — beyond what topical application reaches
(2) Triple hyaluronic acid formula addresses both immediate moisture and deeper hydration for plumper, bouncier skin
(3) High-purity CICA calms reactivity and stabilizes the skin condition alongside the hydration-focused actives

This is not a serum you smooth on. The Hyalo Cica Rich Shot is pressed directly against the skin and clicked — a hollow micro-needle 0.2mm long at the tip releases the formula into the stratum corneum on contact, in a way that conventional application simply cannot replicate. The concept is drawn from medical micro-needling technology, scaled down for daily at-home use with an ultra-fine needle designed to cause no pain and close immediately after use. The formula inside focuses on two priorities: intense moisture delivery via three types of hyaluronic acid, and barrier calming via high-purity CICA — a combination designed for skin that feels dry, reactive, or less bouncy than it used to. Developed by Euglena Co., Ltd., a Japanese biotech company known for integrating Euglena (microalgae) extract across its wellness and beauty brands. A genuinely novel format at an accessible Japanese market price, and one of the more interesting treatments to come out of Japan's functional skincare space in recent years.

(1) Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid): draws and holds moisture in the skin surface layer
(2) Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid: smaller molecular weight for deeper penetration into the stratum corneum
(3) Hydrolyzed Hyaluronate Zinc: combines hyaluronic acid with zinc for skin-conditioning support alongside hydration
(4) Centella Asiatica Extract (CICA): calms irritation, reduces sensitivity, and stabilizes the skin barrier
(5) Euglena Extract: CONC LABO's proprietary microalgae-derived ingredient that supports skin renewal and conditioning

Use as part of your daily skincare routine, on clean bare skin before other skincare steps. If the needle tip appears dry, knock the base 2 to 3 times into the palm of your hand first to fill it with serum. Press the needle tip gently but firmly against the area of concern — cheeks, under-eye area, or around the mouth — and click the knock button once or twice. Hold the position for 3 seconds to allow the serum to absorb into the stratum corneum. After completing the targeted areas, gently pat any remaining serum into the skin with fingertips. Continue with your regular toner, serum, and moisturizer. Use daily for sustained results.

Q: Does using the CONC LABO Hyalo Cica Rich Shot hurt?
A: The needle is 0.2mm long and 0.1mm wide — described by the brand as feeling like pressing a toothbrush against the skin. A very faint prick is expected, but discomfort is minimal. The micro-puncture closes naturally and immediately after use, leaving no visible mark or wound.
Q: How many shots does the 2.5ml bottle provide, and how long does it last?
A: The 2.5ml bottle provides approximately 450 shots, which translates to roughly one month of daily use across targeted areas.
Q: Where exactly on the face should I use the CONC LABO Hyalo Cica Rich Shot?
A: The product is designed for the cheeks, under-eye area, and the area around the mouth (including nasolabial fold zones). It should not be used on the eyelids, directly on the lip surface, or anywhere without adequate underlying tissue support.
Q: Can I use the CONC LABO Hyalo Cica Rich Shot over makeup or SPF?
A: No. The product must be used on clean, bare skin — no SPF, foundation, or other skincare layers. These products can obstruct the needle and prevent proper delivery of the serum.
Q: How is the CONC LABO Hyalo Cica Rich Shot different from a regular serum with hyaluronic acid and CICA?
A: A conventional serum applies actives to the surface of the skin and relies on the formula's molecular size to penetrate naturally. The Rich Shot bypasses this limitation entirely by using a hollow micro-needle to inject the formula directly into the stratum corneum — a delivery method that places the actives at a depth that topical application rarely reaches with the same reliability.
