WHAT MICRO-SPICULES DO:
One of the latest innovations in skincare, Micro-Spicules are microscopic, needle-like structures derived from sea sponges. Micro-Spicules provide a gentle microneedling effect that assists the delivery of active ingredients deeper into the skin compared to traditional products. Once the Spicules reach the epidermal layer of the skin, the active ingredients are released for maximum efficacy to help plump, tighten and firm the skin.
Soften, deliver, release. After you've cleansed your skin and softened the surface with warm water, the Micro-Spicule technology can do its job. Driving deep into the skin through the needle-like structure and delivering the skin-lifting active ingredients.
First Essence contains approximately 600,000 Micro-Spicules (microscopic needle-like structures).
HOW IT FEELS:
It’s a similar sensorial experience to a gentle tingle, this is because there are tiny, microscopic, needle-like structures penetrating your skin as you massage.
KEY INGREDIENTS:
- Perfection Peptide P3 (Tripeptide)*: gently exfoliates by loosening the bonds between the surface layer of skin cells
- Neosolue Aqulio™**: bonds with water-soluble active ingredients for deeper penetration
- Hydrolyzed Acacia Macrostachya Seed Extract: promotes deep cellular hydration
- Sacran™***: creates a veil of moisture to support the absorption of other active ingredients while keeping skin soft
*Hexanoyl Dipeptide-3 Norleucine Acetate

HOW TO USE:
INGREDIENTS:
Micro-spicules are one of the latest innovations in skincare. They are natural microscopic needle-like structures derived from sea sponges.
Micro-spicules provide a gentle microneedling effect which stimulate the regeneration of the skin with very tiny and thin needles (invisible to the naked eye), while filling the pores with active ingredients that go deeper into the skin.

The ‘needles’ will create micro-channels (small holes) in the skin to allow for Medi Lift's Golden Needle Complex and other active ingredients to penetrate deeper, thus mimicking the effects of a gentle microneedling treatment. These micro channels stimulate both cellular regeneration, collagen and elastin production. Once the spicules reach the epidermal layer of the skin, the Golden Needle Complex and other active ingredients contained in the micro-spicules are released for maximum efficacy. Users can feel the tingling sensation as the micro-spicules meet the skin and get to work.
Our clinical study* shows that micro-spicules deliver active ingredients deeper and better than creams that don’t contain micro-spicules.

FAQs
Why are needles (micro-spicules) good for skin?
The ‘needles’ will create micro-channels in the skin to allow for active ingredients to penetrate deeper, mimicking the effects of a gentle microneedling treatment. These micro channels stimulate both cellular regeneration and collagen and elastin production and allow for improved absorption of Medi Lift’s Golden Needle Complex – a signature blend of 24K Gold Colloid, five plant-based actives, and other active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, and collagen. Once the spicules reach the epidermal layer of the skin, the active ingredients are released for maximum efficacy.
Will the micro-spicules remain in skin?
No, the micro-spicules/needles will naturally shed with your dead skin cells after 72 hours.
How does it feel?
You may experience a tingling sensation or redness which is normal as the spicules absorb. Your skin will go back to normal after a few minutes. Rinse with cold or lukewarm water if conditions persist or worsen.
When is the best time to use it?
Every morning and night after toners and serums.
Are all products in the Needle Lift Daily Care Collection safe for pregnant women?
We recommend pregnant women consult their doctor for medical advice before using any products.
Are there any existing clinical studies or consumer panel findings?
