Is Versed Skincare Worth the Hype? | Ranking + Reviewing 10 Products from Versed Skincare

Hello loves! Y’all know I love trying out new skincare products and letting you know what the best of the best are. Ever since April, I have been testing out products from the skincare line Versed. Versed is an affordable skincare line that is vegan, cruelty free, formulated without nasty ingredients (such as mineral oil, artificial fragrance and colors, and paragons) and comes in sustainable packaging. The full Versed range is available on the brand’s website, and certain products are available in store and online at Target. I have tried 10 products from the brand: 5 of which I purchased myself, and 5 of which were graciously sent to me from the Versed team. In today’s post I’ve listed all 10 products from my favorite to least favorite and broken down the details of the product. I hope this gives you more insight to the brand and I would love if you let me know if you plan on trying any of these Versed products.

The Shortcut Overnight Facial

If you want to wake up with visibly smoother skin - this treatment is for your. The key ingredients in this product are lactic acid and glycolic acid. I wouldn’t recommend this product for those of you with dry skin, because you apply it on dry, cleansed skin with no moisturizer right before bed, and rinse it off in the morning. I try to use this about twice a week and my skin looks smoother and more plump when I wake up.

Press Restart Gentle Retinol Serum

I am just now dabbling in retinol, and I did my research and many people were recommending this as the perfect entry level retinol. It’s a low percentage of retinol and it is in cream form, so it is not overly drying. I have only been using this a couple nights a week because I don’t want to overdo it. Retinol has so many benefits including brightening the skin, preventing wrinkles, and regulating oil production (which results in less acne!). I believe in starting preventative skincare young so I am enjoying using this retinol in my regular routine.

Just Breathe Clarifying Serum

This is a great serum for acne prone skin. The ingredients in this serum target acne, excess oil, and inflammation. I have been using this serum at nighttime in conjunction with my Tula Glycolic Acid Toner. I think this serum has done a great job at keeping my acne at bay and recommend if you’re struggling with problematic skin.

Silk Slip Tinted Lip Oil

I’ve been loving this for days when I want some color on the lips, but I don’t want to commit to a full blown lip color. This lip oil is conditioning while adding a glossy tint of color to the lips. I have the shade Ruby and I definitely want to add the other shades to my collection. You can save $ by purchasing the trio kit which includes all 3 shades.

Stroke of Brilliance Brightening Serum

This is a great vitamin C serum that is also formulated with niacinamide and licorice root extract. Like the title says, this serum brightens up the skin. This serum is lightweight and does a great job at brightening the skin. I like to use it in the morning right before I apply moisturizer. There is a slight scent that I don’t care for, but this is a great entry level vitamin C serum at a great price.

Vacation Eyes Brightening Eye Gel

This is a lightweight eye gel that is formulated with amazing brightening ingredients such as vitamin C and niacinamide. Since this eye gel is lightweight, I have enjoyed using it in the morning and following up with a thicker eye cream at night. If you’re just starting to dabble with eye creams, I would recommend this one since it is so lightweight.

Silk Slip Conditioning Lip Oil

This is the clear version of the tinted one I mentioned earlier. While it does offer some moisture to the lips and a glossy finish, I just own other lip balms that are more nourishing than this one. If you’re debating between the clear or tinted oil, I would go with the tinted.

Photos, Please Brightening Tightening Mask

This is a great mask for brightening the complexion and I absolutely love the squeeze tube packaging (it reminds me of the applesauce packets lol). It is formulated with kaolin clay and turmeric extract which work to brighten and tighten the skin. The only reason this isn’t ranked higher is simply because I have masks from other brands that just provide more noticeable results for my skin (like the Lancer mask).

Day Dissolve Cleansing Balm

While this product does remove makeup, I prefer the Elemis Pro Collagen Cleansing Balm. This product has a strong scent (which I prefer unscented products) and once rinsed off still left my face feeling like I had a thin layer of product on until I went in with my cleanser.

Found the Light Powder with Vitamin C

Unfortunately this product caused me to break out, so that it why it is at the bottom of my list. This product is a powder that you mix into your moisturizer or serum. I have read that vitamin C powders are more stable than vitamin C serums, but personally I prefer the ease of using of a serum rather than mixing a powder into my moisturizer.

Let me know if you have tried any products from Versed! There are a few more products from the brand that I want to try, and I will definitely add them to this list once I’ve tried them.

Slap on some lipstick and smile
