Meet Verso

It’s As Easy As 1, 2, 3

A couple of weeks ago, we welcomed the beautiful Swedish brand Verso to the studio. And while the packaging is very on brand, it is the formulations that I fell for hook, line and sinker.

Verso launched in 2013 with a strong Scandinavian spirit – simple, minimalistic, and qualitative. With science as a starting point, Verso makes high-quality products with a low ingredient count. No shortcuts are taken during the development to ensure that all products meet this requirement. They are headquartered in the center of a significant scientific-research environment, close to the University of Stockholm’s campus at Frescati. The proximity to the scientific community has been essential to Verso’s product development approach.

At the core of their formulations is their patented molecule NEAR 1. NEAR 1 is the result of eight years of research and harnesses the essence of their philosophy – a science-first mindset – and core ambition to offer skincare that provides visible results. NEAR 1 combines Vitamin A and Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) in one impactful, versatile technology. Thus, a groundbreaking and self-evident complement to their other hero ingredient, Retinol 8. What I love about these products is how nourishing and hydrating they feel, despite holding some serious actives in their formulas. Think accelerated cellular turnover and increased collagen production wrapped up in a moisturizing hug. I’m also obsessed with the body range. The Body Oil Cleanser removes sunscreen and nourishes skin like a dream, while the Body Peel polishes skin and leaves it smooth as silk. And you know I keep that Lip Serum on me… it’s a must-have that travels purse to purse.
