Do Spicules Damage the Skin?
Spicules are tiny needle-like structures from sea sponges used in some skincare products. They aim to boost the delivery of active ingredients deep into the skin. People wonder if these microspicules harm the skin or cause lasting damage.
In modern formulas, spicules work by settling just under the skin surface. This helps ingredients penetrate without breaking the skin barrier. The skin stays calm with no redness or extra sensitivity. Products with improved spicules avoid the sharp edges of older versions that could irritate.
Early spicules had issues. First and second generation types had irregular shapes and sharp tips. This led to irritation for some users who tried them. Those problems pushed makers to refine the technology.
Today’s spicules suit many skin types. They help tired or dull skin gain smoothness and glow. Still, they are not for everyone. Skip them if your skin is very reactive or already damaged. Always patch test new products.
