Product summary

"Versed Skin - The Shortcut Overnight Facial Peel" is effective for: Anti-inflammatory, Evens skin tone, Anti-aging and Exfoliation

This product could be helpful for: Moisturizing, but its actives are not the most effective or are not well-studied.

Ingredient callouts

  • Exfoliating acids in a high total concentration (glycolic acid 0.40% - 0.90%, lactic acid 0.45% - 1.05%, glycolic acid 6.00% - 9.10% and lactic acid 23.00% - 34.00%). This is a strong peel. It removes the top layer of the dead skin cells, revealing a "fresher" skin. It can also have an anti-aging effect and stimulate collagen production in a long-run. But we recommend to use this product with caution to avoid over-exfoliation (no more than 1-2x a week). Over-exfoliation can seriously damage your skin barrier and lead to sensitivity and even trigger pigmentation issues.
  • This product includes a form of Retinoids (vitamin A) - retinyl palmitate 0.35% - 0.80%, but this type of vitamin A is not very effective. It could in theory help with fine lines and wrinkles, but the effect is most likely minimal.
  • Humectants (saccharide isomerate 0.10% - 0.45%, lactic acid 0.45% - 1.05%, glycerin 2.50% - 3.80% and lactic acid 23.00% - 34.00%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
