Here’s everything you need to know about this trendy skincare brand.
Let’s cut right to the chase…Sam and I are obsessed with Versed! We were stoked to find out the genius boss babes behind Who What Wear were coming out with a clean, affordable beauty line. And one we could find at Target, nonetheless! So naturally, we stocked up on all the goods.
We started off with their face masks, but our obsession grew pretty quickly after that. We ended up buying new products from them about once a month!
Versed is non-toxic, vegan, cruelty-free, and all under $50.
I mean, could it really get any better than that? Not to mention, their formulas meet European Union standards, meaning they ban over 1,300 toxins.
All Versed products are free of:
- Artificial fragrance
- Artificial colors
- Parabens
- Sulfates (SLS/SLES)
- Added phthalates
- Silicones
- Formaldehyde
- Triclosan
- Triclocarban
- Petroleum
- Mineral oil
- Talc
- NPE (nonylphenol ethoxylate)
- BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole)
- BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene)
- Hydroquinone
- Micro-beeds
- Chemical sunscreen
So, which Versed products are actually worth it?
While we haven’t tried the entire line, we did make a pretty good dent in it. Check out our thoughts on all the Versed products we experimented with below!
Day Dissolve Cleansing Balm – $7.99
Sam loves this cleansing balm so much that she actually just bought her second container! A little bit goes a loooonng way. It pulls everything up…makeup, dirt, sweat, grime, etc. and it rinses off really well. No residue left behind! The quality is comparable to more high-end cleansing balms like Drunk Elephant and Farmacy but at a much more affordable price.
Worth it? Worth it.
Skin Soak Rich Moisture Cream – $17.99
This is my new go-to night cream! OMG guys, I’m obsessed. Like Sam, I’m on my second jar of this too! As the name suggests, this cream is very rich and moisturizing. However, it doesn’t clog my pores one bit. It’s truly been a miracle worker this winter. My skin is so hydrated when I wake up, and my breakouts have calmed down significantly. I also love that it has no scent!
Worth it? Worth it.
Silk Slip Conditioning Lip Oil – $9.99
The more Sam used this lip oil, the more she thought it was just okay. Womp womp! It would actually be a really good “cleaner” lip gloss alternative, but it doesn’t last very long and isn’t as hydrating as her all-time favorite, the Cocokind Mymatcha stick.
Worth it? Not worth it.
Found The Light Powder With Vitamin C – $19.99
I’m never going back to vitamin C serums again! This powder is magic. Every morning, I mix a couple of shakes with my AM moisturizer, and I’m good to go. My skin is luminous throughout the day without feeling oily or heavy. It absorbs so easily into the skin and never interferes with my makeup! Also, this little bottle is going to last me FOREVER. It’s a good thing powdered vitamin c stays stable!
Worth it? Worth it.
The Fix Emergency Eye Mask – $17.99
Sam totally loves this eye mask! It’s like an eye gel mask but without the annoyance of wearing eye gels. This mask is great at de-puffing tired eyes. Sam uses this 2-3x per week in the mornings as she eats breakfast and goes about her routine. She never rinses it off because it eventually all absorbs in!
Worth it? Worth it.
The Shortcut Overnight Facial Peel – $19.99
To be honest, I’m not 100% sure on this one! I purchased this overnight peel after my 30-day experimentation with no exfoliation in hopes that I could use this once or twice a week to help with uneven texture and blackheads. I loved how easy it was to apply! The next morning, my skin was bright and glowy, but I did notice a few small breakouts here and there. Not sure if my skin is just sensitive at the moment or if it just isn’t the right overnight mask for me.
30-Day Update: I actually like using this once a week or every two weeks now! It gives my skin such a nice glow, and I don’t notice any crazy breakouts anymore. I do prefer the Press Restart Gentle Retinol Serums for more frequent use though.
Worth it? Worth it.
Keep it Supple Body Oil – $14.99
This body oil is a live saver in the winter! I love using this right after I get out of the shower. I either spray it right on my skin or mix it in with some body lotion for extra hydration. It smells incredible and leaves my skin feeling super silky and soft. I highly recommend if you’re suffering from dry, winter skin like me!
Worth it? Worth it.
Look Alive Hydrating Plumping Mask – $9.99
This mask is great at literally what it says…hydrating and plumping! It really works. Sam loves using this on a regular basis to give her skin a little extra boost of hydration. She even thinks it’s somewhat comparable her go-to Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask! It’s a great little mask to have on hand in the winter time.
Worth it? Worth it.
Find Clarity Purifying Mask – $9.99
This was the first product I ever tried from Versed! And it did not disappoint. This clarifying mask leaves my skin really clean but doesn’t completely strip it of moisture. It’s a great mask for those days when your skin is feeling a little clogged up. Highly recommend for post-travel days!
Worth it? Worth it.
Photos, Please Brightening Tightening Mask – $9.99
We both LOVE this mask! You can really see results when you use it on a regular basis. It’s great at tightening everything up and cleansing out those pores in a non-aggressive way. The clays in it are very gentle and great for both our skin types.
Worth it? Worth it.
Press Restart Gentle Retinol Serum – $21.99
This is quickly becoming one of my favorite products in the Versed line! I was always so afraid of retinol because I didn’t think my skin would react well to it. But O-M-G does my skin love this stuff! I wake up with an instant glow, it keeps breakouts at bay and doesn’t irritate my skin. Plus, it helps with anti-aging! This serum is made with both bakuchiol and encapsulated retinol, meaning it is very gentle on the skin. I cannot recommend this enough!
Worth it? Worth it.
Just Breathe Clarifying Serum – $19.99
I think I like this serum! I bought it because my T-zone felt very congested, and I loved the fact that this contains niacinamide, zinc and willow bark. All great ingredients for keeping pores clear! I’ve been using this ONLY on my trouble areas versus all over my face. If I apply all over, my cheeks are not happy. So I prefer to only apply to my T-zone. It has reduced some of my congestion, but you certainly don’t see results overnight. I will keep using this 2-3x week though!
Worth it? Worth it.
Baby Cheeks All-in-One Hydrating Milk – $17.99
I bought this toner in hopes of replacing my go-to Thayer’s Witch Hazel Toner, but no sirree! While this toner felt extremely hydrating and did in fact leave my face feeling like a baby’s bottom, I ended up breaking out from it. I’m assuming my skin did not like the coconut water in it, which is the first ingredient. So sadly, I’m going to have to give this one a thumbs down!
Worth it? Not worth it.
Silk Slip Tinted Lip Oil – $9.99 each
These were actually gifted to us by Versed when they first launched! We were so excited to give their new lip oils a try, and let me tell you, these suckers did not disappoint. They are perfect for everyday wear. These lip oils are ultra hydrating but also have the perfect amount of tint to them. You’ll notice we both include these in our regular makeup routines! They also have no scent, which is a plus for us.
Worth it? Worth it.
Zero-G Smoothing Eye Cream – $17.99
This eye cream is extremely soothing and moisturizing! The algae extract really gives it that extra boost of moisture, which I think is perfect for the cold/dry months of the year. I did find it broke out my skin a little bit when I first used it. I also did not notice massive results like I did with the Odacité eye oil. However, I do think it’s a great budget-friendly eye cream that could give you results in the long run.
Worth it? Maybe.
