WHAT DO WE THINK ABOUT VERSED? 

We think that Versed is a one-stop-shop for all the basic skincare that one would need, on a long-term basis. All the products of Versed are universal to all skincare regimens. Not only that, but they have a wide variety to choose from, and each product is tailored to your personal needs. When you read about each product, you can see that they have treated every single product with the utmost importance, as if it's their only product. 

The best thing about Versed cannot be narrowed down to one. The explanation of each ingredient is given in detail, so the consumer knows what they're using. There are many companies that use harmful substances, but they mask it by giving chemical names, something which goes unnoticed by us, and we ultimately don't realize that the expensive bottle is probably doing more harm than good. But here at Versed, they use everything proudly and transparently, and rightly so! Just like we double-check what food we consume, at the end of the day, skincare acts like food to the skin, so it's best to know in-depth what we are getting ourselves into. 

Versed understands that skincare isn't black or white. Every regimen differs greatly, upon skin type, age, gender, preferences, needs, etc. The brand makes sure to cater to all our needs, by a skin regimen quiz, which is extremely detailed, and tells us the correct routine our skin needs, and not only that it has a 24/7 skin hotline number. Purchasing from Versed seems like a personal act, where you can go in-depth and talk about your skin freely and solve all your doubts. 

Moreover, the brand’s main focus is to perfect the formula of the product, and make it the star, instead of focusing on the attractiveness of the product or package design. The prices of Versed are affordable and reasonable, this is a great and unique point as most brands which claim to sell all organic or chemical-free products, usually have extremely high prices. Versed, does not the only state that they care about us, our skin, and the planet, but its actions also tell the same story. Along with using chemical-free ingredients and adhering to our every need, they have also made sure to make a significant contribution to decrease their carbon emissions, by reducing their global footprints. They are a vegan and animal cruelty-free brand All their packaging is made up of recyclable materials and plastic, not only that but under each product, they have created a section that tells us how to safely dispose of each product. Versed is a drug store brand, with the same price, but the quality is extremely high end with better benefits and also yields results. We highly recommend it.
