Meet Lars Fredriksson, founder of Verso Skincare

Created in 2013, Verso Skincare is a Swedish brand that reinvents retinol with its “Retinol 8 Complex”. Eight times more effective than conventional retinol at the same dosage, and 2 times less irritating. Meet the founder of the Swedish brand with its Reverse Aging approach.

What is your vision of beauty?

"To make great skincare easy. Not complicated, not too many products but yet effective and result-driven. Verso Skincare offers essential and multifunctional products with carefully selected science-based ingredients for optimal results. Verso is the Latin word for the word reverse; at Verso Skincare, we want to help skin turn back the clock and function as it used to. I'm convinced that with high-quality ingredients and well-formulated products, it's possible to achieve healthy, radiant skin while delaying premature skin ageing.”

What inspired you to create Verso Skincare? 

"Vitamin A is known to be the Golden Standard of skin rejuvenation. I saw an opportunity to create a skincare range with an effective vitamin A technology without any side effects and/or discomfort. The pure form of vitamin A is Retinoic Acid, an ingredient only to be prescribed by doctors and dermatologists. All vitamin A derivatives will eventually convert into Retinoic Acid via an enzymatic process, some are better, and some are less effective. With our technology, Retinol 8 and NEAR 1, we saw the opportunity to offer highly effective vitamin A products suitable for everyday use."

Why did you want to focus on retinol? 

“I don’t think there is any ingredient that is so well known and researched as Vitamin A. Our vision is that everybody should use at least one vitamin A-based product daily. We know it has so many great benefits in skin rejuvenation and healthy-looking skin but at the same time, some people can experience discomfort. Our focus is to provide products to everybody and with Retinol 8 and NEAR 1 we have technology that is even hypoallergenic. This has been a key driver in our development. Verso Super Elixir with NEAR 1 has been tested on people with sensitive skin without any experiencing discomfort and it has been labelled hypoallergenic. Verso Night Cream with Retinol 8 has been carefully formulated with calming ingredients and is a product we recommend (along with Super Elixir) for people that are new to vitamin A and want to start retinol.”

“Everyone should use at least one vitamin A product every day in their skincare routine.” - Lars Fredriksson, founder of Verso Skincare.

What distinguishes Retinol 8 Complex from other forms of retinol?

“Retinol 8 is a unique vitamin A derivative that provides eight times the efficiency of standard retinol in stimulating collagen production. Additionally, it is 50% less irritating, making this technology an ideal choice for use in cosmetic products.”

Can you tell us about the other special feature of your skincare products: their texture?

"We put significant effort into creating products with a sensorial texture. Effective skincare should not only treat the skin but also provide a pleasant experience. A great texture enhances both the results and the overall enjoyment of using the product as well as the total experience with the brand."

Which Verso Skincare products are a must-try and why? 

The great part with Verso is that we have not only one or two vitamin A-based products but 11 different products with our gentle and beloved vitamin A technology for different needs and targets. Verso can easily be incorporated into your daily routine and be paired with any of your favourite products. Our hero global best-sellers are:

  • Verso Super Eye Serum, which on top of targeting fine lines also reduces dark circles and bags under the eyes. 

  • Verso Night Cream with calming ingredients, is the perfect night treatment.

  • Verso Super Facial Serum, my personal favourite, this creamy serum with a higher concentration of Retinol 8 will give a smooth and instant hydration along with the fantastic benefits of Retinol 8. 

  • With Verso Super Elixir, you will get brighter and glowing skin and soft and hydrated skin due to the carefully selected oils.
