On September 8th, clean skincare brand Versed took to Instagram to tease a new product. In several posts featuring cute comic book illustrations, the brand told followers to not be surprised “if one day your dark spots just disappear.” Since posting their teasers, all has been revealed, and Versed’s new Out Of Sight Dark Spot Gel is finally here. The concentrated brightening treatment slows the transfer of pigment to leave users with a flawless complexion.

Out Of Sight not only minimizes the appearance of dark spots by lightening and decreasing size, but the gel formula also corrects uneven skin tone caused by hyperpigmentation.

The gel formula is full of skin-loving, safe ingredients that help fade dark spots and post-acne marks. Tranexamic acid is a powerful antioxidant that’s used to treat discoloration while fading facial spots, while licorice root extract is a natural skin lightener that fends off environmental aggressors. Out Of Sight also includes Niacinamide to even out tone, reduce blotchiness and strengthen skin. The gel’s final key ingredient is kojic acid, which exfoliates and brightens skin.

Needless to say, the dark spot gel will totally transform your skin and leave your complexion looking better than ever. Not to mention, it’s made with 51% post-consumer recycled plastic and features a precision applicator for easy application.

To use, simply dab the invisible gel onto clean, dry skin at night and in the morning. Then, let it sink in. After about two minutes, the product should fully absorb, and you may proceed with other skin treatments. You can expect to see real results in just eight weeks!

Out Of Sight is available now on versedskin.com for $16.99 and is expected to hit Target shelves this fall. Be sure to follow Versed on Instagram for more exciting product drops.

Known for their high-performing, clean skincare products, Versed is constantly serving customers with products they can rely on. On July 7th, the brand took to Instagram to announce an exciting new addition that we’ve been waiting for. Their Mood Lighting Luminizing Glow Drops are a hybrid product that act as skincare and makeup, delivering major hydration while illuminating skin with a soft but gorgeous glow.

For just $17.99, the Glow Drops can be used as a primer to create a silky-smooth finish, in conjunction with other facial oils or by themselves to provide a radiant complexion. The glitter-free pigment is truly perfect for those looking for a natural glow and blurring effect with all the benefits of a skincare product.

Not only do the drops illuminate skin, but they also contain skin-loving ingredients (like polyglutamic acid and blackberry extract) that that will leave your complexion looking and feeling its best. The polyglutamic acid works to increase skin’s elasticity and moisture levels, while the blackberry extract neutralizes free radicals and defends skin against damage. The natural ingredient is also anti-aging and provides gentle exfoliation.

The Mood Lighting Glow Drops come in two universal shades that were developed to compliment most skin tones. The Golden option is a sheer, pink-toned color that adds the perfect amount of cheeky glow. Alternatively, the Bronzed shade is a darker but still sheer option that provides a bit more color. Not to mention, the liquid formulas are buildable, skin-smoothing and can be mixed together to create your own unique color.

In line with the brand’s dedication to remaining sustainable, the Glow Drops are made with 30% post-consumer recycled plastic and are packaged in 100% FSC-certified paper.

The Mood Lighting Luminizing Glow Drops officially launch on versedskin.com on July 13th. Click here to join the waitlist and be sure to follow Versed on Instagram for more product announcements.  

On May 12th, clean skincare brand Versed took to Instagram to tease their newest product. Featuring several slides of satisfying scraping videos, the social media post had fans of the brand excitingly trying to guess what could be coming next. Well, all has been revealed and Versed has officially launched Instant Gratification, an at-home dermaplaning tool that removes dead skin and facial hair for a smoother looking complexion.

Offering professional-grade exfoliation, Instant Gratification will produce smooth, fuzz-free skin in just one swipe. The reusable tool provides the closest, safest exfoliation you can get outside an office with a slip-free grip that’s designed for precision control and a stainless steel, single-edge blade.

Along with smoothing and exfoliating, Instant Gratification also allows for better penetration of skincare products, like serums and moisturizers. Not to mention, you will be left with a more even-toned complexion, and your makeup application will seriously improve. 

To use the tool, simply hold clean, dry skin taut with one hand and use the other to glide the blade down at a 45-degree angle. You should use short, gentle strokes along the contours of your face. For the cheeks, Versed recommends that users move the blade toward the center of the face. Alternatively, you should move the blade down toward your jawline when approaching the forehead, upper lip and chin. Always be sure to remove buildup on the blade between areas and avoid going over an area more than once.

For best results, the Instant Gratification dermaplaner should be used once every 1-3 weeks (or when you’re due to exfoliate). Be sure to apply a hydrating serum after using the tool for a little extra glow!

In line with the brand’s dedication to sustainability, Instant Gratification features a reusable metal handle that’s meant to last. Its blades can also be used up to four times. Each purchase comes with two blades, and a replacement pack can be purchased on versedskin.com.

Click here to purchase Instant Gratification for just $19.99. And be sure to follow Versed on Instagram for more exciting product launches.

Versed Back-Up Plan Acne-Control Body Mist

Versed’s Back-Up Plan Acne-Control Body Mist has been a life-saver since I started using it a few weeks ago. I tend to break out on my shoulders when the weather starts to warm up, but using the mist has really helped keep my acne in check. It’s super easy to use and dries quickly, so I never have to worry about the product transferring onto my clothes. If you experience any kind of body acne, I highly recommend trying this out!” — Emily Lentz, beauty features editor

Kosas Chemistry AHA Serum Deodorant – Serene Clean

“I’m always on the hunt for a clean deodorant that actually works. I recently converted from Drunken Elephant to Kosas because of the reviews. And, if I’m honest, the packaging. From their site: ‘A stain-free serum deodorant with a unique blend of AHAs for the ultimate BO-fighting treatment.’ I can attest that I’ve never felt fresher after a day of coffee breaks and convos about deadlines.”  — Jeffrey Lunnen, VP of Digital Content and Volume Up podcast co-host

Supergoop Daily Dose Vitamin C + SPF 40 Serum

“I’m always a fan of the Supergoop GlowScreen, it gives the best shine and color, but I wanted to start to use vitamin C every day so I went for this! It creates the same glow and shine as the sunscreen, and protects you with spf too! Definitely a must have for the summer.” — Katie Allen, social media coordinator

Shop: Supergoop Daily Dose Vitamin C + SPF 40 Serum, $46.00

Benefit Cosmetics Hoola Matte Bronzer

“If you’re a makeup lover like me, you know the importance of a good bronzer. The Hoola Matte Bronzer from Benefit Cosmetics is everything. While it’s not new to my makeup routine, I have been using it more than usual as a way to add a little color to my complexion. Paired with a little concealer and a swipe of mascara, the matte powder provides the perfect sun-kissed look. It even works great as a natural eye shadow shade!” — E.L.

Shop: Benefit Cosmetics Hoola Matte Bronzer, $30.00

Elemis Pro-Collagen Rose Hydro-Mist

“For days when my skin needs a boost, I have been reaching for this pretty pink mist from Elemis. The fact alone that it literally smells like roses is enough to make me love it, but I also love that after a few spritzes of this mist, my skin has an amazing dewy glow — without looking oily or greasy! It’s super pricey, but I honestly think it’s worth it because a little goes a long way in making your skin feel refreshed.” —C.N.

Bathing Culture Mind and Body Wash Refillable Glass

I was targeted by Bathing Culture’s ads on IG and immediately influenced. ‘Made with organic ingredients, including skin superheroes Aloe, Shea and Guar.’ I don’t know what Guar is, but I should be appreciative? Turns out, I am!” —J.L.

Clean skincare brand Versed is always working towards providing effective results with sustainable, high-powered products. The brand’s latest addition is the Advanced Collection, which works 24 hours a day to help you age well. The Advanced Collection includes two new products: the Auto-Save Advanced Restoring Serum and the Recovery Mode Advanced Night Cream.

Made to prevent premature aging, both products are jam-packed with antioxidants to prevent sagging, wrinkles and other signs of aging. It’s all you need for firm, smoother skin!

Auto-Save actively protects skin from free radicals, firming and brightening complexions while restoring and evening out skin tone. The advanced serum delivers a 24-hour lift and uses a blend of antioxidants to plump and clear skin.

All you have to do is press two pumps of the serum onto clean, almost-dry skin after cleansing. Let it sink in for one minute before your next skincare move. And for best results, use Auto-Save alone or in conjunction with other lightweight serums.

Alternatively, Recovery Mode smooths and refines skin’s texture, decreasing fine lines and wrinkles. The repairing cream also fights off free radicals and protects skin from aging. Using green coffee extract, it adds energy to the skin while reducing rough texture and improving skin’s appearance.

To use Recovery Mode, just warm one pump between fingertips and gently smooth onto clean skin. The cream should be used as the final step in your nighttime skincare routine and can be applied to the entire face.

Along with the product launch, Versed also recently introduced a new Subscribe and Save program to help users stay stocked and save 10% on all products. Just choose how often you’d like to receive your faves and you’ll never run out!
