Unveiling the Secrets: Efficacy and Concerns Surrounding Needle Serums

Recently, Cosmebu, a renowned media outlet for beauty insights operated by LINKTH LLC, aimed to revisit the findings from their earlier survey conducted in August 2025 about needle serums. Their focus was to reaffirm previous results and reveal any shifts in perceived efficacy and user experiences. The survey, which was conducted online from December 25, 2025, to January 8, 2026, targeted a diverse demographic of 267 individuals aged between 20 and 60 across Japan.

Needle serums utilize micro-needle technology to deliver skincare ingredients directly into the skin. This methodology creates micro-routes for active components to penetrate the stratum corneum more effectively, promising improvements in elasticity, firmness, and overall skin texture.

Key Findings from the Survey

Upon analyzing the results from 129 respondents using needle serums, it was found that 73.6% of users reported experiencing positive effects from usage. This was a notable increase from the 71.2% recorded in the previous survey, although the difference is statistically insignificant. This suggests a high degree of reproducibility in the efficacy perceived by users, pointing towards a consistent level of satisfaction regardless of temporary environmental factors.

Further down the line, the survey asked participants to specify the benefits they experienced. The results showed:
1. Improved skin elasticity and firmness - 46 individuals (35.7%)
2. Smoother skin texture - 31 individuals (24.0%)
3. Reduced appearances of pores - 24 individuals (18.6%)
4. Increased moisture levels in the skin - 24 individuals (18.6%)
5. A brighter skin tone - 14 individuals (10.9%)
6. Improved skin blemishes - 13 individuals (10.1%)
7. Reduction in dullness - 9 individuals (7.0%)
8. Fewer fine lines - 5 individuals (3.9%)
9. Improvement in acne scars - 3 individuals (2.3%)

Consistency in Results

Interestingly, the benefits highlighted match the outcomes from the prior survey, emphasizing a strong correlation in user experiences. The dominance of the first two benefits—skin elasticity and texture—indicates a persistent trend in the perceived core advantages of needle serums. This consistency suggests that the key functional aspects of the product (the micro-needle delivery system) effectively resonate with consumers.

Concerns on Skin Troubles

Despite the reported benefits, the survey did also reveal that 25.8% of users reported experiencing some form of skin troubles while using needle serums. In contrast, the previous investigation indicated a rate of 23.8%. The heightened rate showed a dependable relation, reinforcing that needle serum users may face occasional issues. Among those who experienced troubles, 76.8% classified their skin as sensitive, validating the connection between sensitive skin conditions and reported troubles.

Among the troubled users, 66.7% acknowledged recognizing benefits despite their skin issues, further indicating that efficacy does not necessarily correlate with experiencing troubles. This shows a more nuanced understanding of user experiences, highlighting that trouble does not preclude the visibility of benefits.

Popular Products in the Market

Furthermore, it was noteworthy that VT Cosmetics’ Riddle Shot series dominated the market with 71.3% of users opting for this brand, indicating a loyal following within the needle serum product line. Among the variants, the 100-needle type emerged as the favored choice, especially among beginners, reflecting a cautious approach among users trying needle serums for the first time.

Final Thoughts

As Cosmebu continues to investigate various skincare topics, it remains committed to providing insightful and usable information for consumers. The findings surrounding needle serums emphasize not only their potential benefits but also the considerations consumers should keep in mind regarding skin types and experiences. The ongoing investigation will further explore skincare modalities to furnish reliable evidence, ultimately helping users make more informed choices.
