NEAR 1 is Verso’s patented molecule. It is a versatile skincare technology combining two hero ingredients: Vitamin A and Niacinamide. We started developing NEAR 1 because we wanted further to improve the efficacy and usage of Vitamin A. Our ambition during research and development was to create an effective and stable Vitamin A technology that would cause little to no irritation. After combining Vitamin A and Niacinamide with a unique link, a new Vitamin A derivative (an ester of Vitamin A) was produced. The technology uses Niacinamide to help further stabilize and enhance the benefits of Vitamin A. This results in a more stable, effective, and gentle Vitamin A. NEAR 1 is a unique molecule and the first of its kind.

We always strive to have the best Vitamin A options for your skin. Retinol 8 and NEAR 1 is the outcome of that goal. We use highly effective yet gentle Vitamin A, which is available in cosmetics.

In general, you don’t need to introduce these kinds of Vitamin A in the same way as traditional Retinol. Still, for sensitive skin, it may be beneficial to introduce Retinol 8 or NEAR 1 a couple of times a week. Build up the use when experiencing no visible dryness or appearance of temporary discomfort in your skin.

Yes, you can! It can be very beneficial for your skin since regular use of Retinol 8 and NEAR 1 will help to strengthen the skin’s natural protection. Thus, Retinol 8 and NEAR 1 can be used during the daytime, although it is always essential to use sun protection, SPF30 or greater, when exposed to the sun (with or without the use of a Vitamin A product). This is to preserve the results of your skincare routine, promoting a prolonged youthful appearance. 

We advise avoiding using a product with Retinol 8 or NEAR 1 when sunbathing since the efficacy might be affected.

We do not recommend using Retinol 8 or NEAR 1 during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to the overall hormonal change in the body. Instead, we recommend choosing products that help moisturize, visibly soothe, and protect your skin. Verso Facial Cleanser, Verso Hydration Serum, Verso Super C Serum, and Verso Nourishing Cream are all products that can be used that provide those benefits. Do not forget to add daily sun protection.

During pregnancy and breastfeeding, the skin may become sensitized. Therefore, we recommend setting aside our result-driven Verso Peel Mask, with exfoliating properties, since its formula contains acids that might be too powerful during this period. An excellent alternative could be Verso Cleansing Balm with melting jojoba beads that gently exfoliate the skin, leaving it fresh and healthy-looking. You are always welcome to consult with us if you have any questions.

The concentration of an ingredient does not always say what result the product will provide. The composition and other ingredients in the product also play a big part in giving the desired results. If you are unsure which Retinol 8 product suits your needs the best, you are welcome to get in touch with us.

This can be individual, and we will be happy to help you find what suits your specific needs. Sometimes it can be enough to start with products containing functional ingredients such as Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) or Vitamin C to help maintain healthy-looking skin. But if you experience unbalanced skin with clogged pores and/or uneven skin tone, you can start from age 20 with, e.g., Verso Clarifying Gel or Verso Daily Glow with Retinol 8 to promote healthy-looking skin.

You are always welcome to contact us to find out what suits your skin.

Yes, you can use a daily skincare routine, including only Verso products.

Our products are multifunctional and result-driven, ensuring healthy-looking skin without fuss.

Sun protection is an essential step in every skincare routine to promote healthy-looking skin while maintaining and enhancing the results of your skincare routine. We recommend finishing your daily routine with sun protection, at least SPF 30. Out versatile and innovative sunscreen, Verso Daily SPF 50 includes broad and high protection. Broad-spectrum SPF is essential for preventing sun damage such as hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and premature signs of aging. Verso Daily SPF 50 is formulated with unique Swedish algae known as “the jewels of the sea.” These algae increase the effectiveness of the SPF. Oat and vitamins strengthen the skin’s natural protection from the visible effects of environmental stressors with a calming sensation.

Every skin is unique and therefore has different needs. But in general, using one product at a time with Vitamin A is enough. Since the skin's needs can vary, it may be beneficial to alternate and/or exchange your current Vitamin A product - instead of adding more products. You can also alternate different Vitamin A products on various days.

Verso´s range of products is vegan, except for Verso Lip Serum which contains beeswax (Cera Alba) with less than one percent.

Verso has not carried out animal testing on the products we produce and sell. Neither has animal testing been performed by third parties. Raw materials suppliers for our company are obliged to meet the applicable regulations at all times. This allows us to ensure that all outline conditions are complied with for our cosmetic products regarding the applicable animal testing regulations. 

Verso produces its products within the European Union, where testing of finished cosmetic products on animals has been prohibited since 2004. In 2009, the ban on testing ingredients used in cosmetic products was implemented to prove compliance with the Cosmetics Regulation. 

We highly appreciate and take great pride in this regulation, all to guarantee and ensure that our products are not, in any process, tested on animals.

Which products you mix or combine depends on your skin and its needs. You are always welcome to contact us to find out what suits your skin.

Verso is developed to be adapted into any other skincare routine. Just make sure you use only a few functional products at the same time. We recommend introducing them separately before using them in the same routine to ensure your skin can tolerate the combination. If you combine functional products, the skin may be stressed and get visibly irritated if not introduced slowly. Verso's multifunctional products could also reduce the number of products in your skincare routine without compromising the result.

You are always welcome to contact us to find out what suits your skin and how you may combine your skincare products.

A skincare routine can be adapted differently depending on your unique skin and its needs. It also applies to what order you use your products. Usually, a Verso Skincare routine consists of a start with a cleanser followed by a Serum, Booster, Facial Oil, and/or Cream. We always recommend applying SPF during the daytime.

Many of Verso´s products can be used as a stand-alone and therefore do not always include more than one step after cleansing.

We only use a small amount of White Tea Flower, less than 1%, in some of our facial products to camouflage the scent of certain ingredients. White Tea Flower contains none of the 26 most common allergens.

Verso Body Care contains a small amount of the scent Earthy Grape (grapefruit, moss, and herbs) for a luxurious feeling.

Perfume-free products:

Micellar Water, Cleansing Balm, Deep Cleanse, Nourishing Cream, Hydration Serum, Super C Serum, Super Eye Serum, Eye Cream, Clarifying Gel, Super Facial Oil, Super Elixir, Nourishing Mask, Peel Mask and Lip Serum.

Yes, we do! If you experience skin sensitivity, it is beneficial to find out the reason behind it. The skin can be sensitive during a period due to internal factors such as stress, diet, and hormones. It can also get increasingly sensitized when visibly irritated from external stressors such as choosing the wrong skincare products or the impact of the weather.

We recommend you choose from our products developed for sensitive skin: Verso Cleansing Balm, Verso Micellar Water, Verso Hydration Serum, Verso Nourishing Cream, Verso Eye Cream, and Verso Nourishing Mask.

We are so sorry if you may have reacted to a Verso product. When changing products in your skincare routine, the skin can sometimes become dry and/or experience temporary sensitivity.

Please email us, and we will help you in the best way.
