Spicule, Skincare Active Material That Encourages Skin Regeneration

JAKARTA - Innovation in the world of beauty and skin care is getting more attractive and often new things come at a time. Like the latest, there is a spicy, active skincare ingredient that has qualified benefits in skin regeneration.

Spicule in skin care is a natural micro-structure derived from marine sponges and used in skincare products, to exert effects such as microneedling or minimal invasive procedures that use fine needles.

"The topical spicule products contain structures, such as microscopic needles that gently penetrate the upper layers of the skin to create micro stimulation effects," said dermatologist Dr. Marissa Garshik, quoted from Elle, on Wednesday, August 20, 2025.

When applied to the skin, micro needles on the picule will create a small channel in the skin. This stimulates natural exfoliation, accelerates cell regeneration, and increases the absorption of other active materials, which makes the skin look smooth, bright, and chewy.

Another dermatologist, Nicole Salame, added that the sparticle formula can be combined with other ingredients such as niacinamide, collagen, or centella asiatica, to provide maximum effect. Its function can help improve skin texture, reduce pores, to help cure problematic skin.

"As a form of mechanical exfoliation, this material can smooth the texture and improve the appearance of the skin," he said.

In using the spicyule, it is recommended on clean and dry skin, ideally at night. After that, proceed with moisturizers and serums, to calm and help the skin recovery process.

"Clean and dry clothes, usually at night when your skin can rest and regenerate overnight," said Doctor Garshik.
