Verso Skincare, the pioneering retinol brand
Created in 2013 by Lars Fredriksson, Verso Skincare is a Swedish beauty brand with a Reverse Ageing approach, reinventing retinol with its ‘Retinol 8 Complex’. Eight times more effective than traditional retinol at the same dosage and 2 times less irritating, this molecule delivers all the benefits of this anti-ageing active, recognised as the most effective on the market for boosting collagen, smoothing wrinkles and restoring radiance to the skin. Drawing on its Scandinavian heritage, Verso Skincare has designed simple, minimalist, high-quality beauty products, made in Sweden, with science as its starting point.
Originally designed for aesthetic doctors and dermatologists, Verso Skincare is backed by more than 25 scientific studies. By clinically testing retinol 8 under the supervision of doctors at Karolinska University Hospital in the early 2010s, Lars Fredriksson ensured that Verso Skincare formulations delivered the efficacy and results expected. The brand' aim to offer fresh products with clinically tested ingredients that promote visible, long-term improvement in all skin types.

The secret to Verso Skincare's recipe? Focus on vitamin A daily For Lars Fredriksson, we need to incorporate vitamin A into our skincare routine. The brand's star molecules are Retinol 8, a unique vitamin A complex, and the patented molecule NEAR 1, a complex combining vitamin A and niacinamide.
What makes Verso Skincare's Retinol 8 unique?
To understand Retinol 8, we first need to look at vitamin A. It's one of beauty's biggest stars, and everyone agrees on one thing: it works:
- It revitalises, strengthens and visibly firms the skin
- Clarifies, purifies and minimises the appearance of pores
- It has lightening properties and evens out skin tone for radiant, luminous skin.
- It is an antioxidant and protects the skin against external aggressions
- Boosts hydration
However, as it is a powerful ingredient, not all skin types can tolerate it. It's not uncommon to experience side effects such as visible redness and dehydration when you start using it. This is where Retinol 8 comes into its own. Retinol 8 Complex is a vitamin A complex that is eight times more effective than standard retinol but with less or no irritation. This makes it possible to achieve results with low concentrations, reducing visible stress and inflammation on the skin.
By visibly firming and densifying the skin, Retinol 8 significantly reduces the signs of ageing. It targets the skin's most vital needs to dramatically improve its quality and texture while simplifying the daily skincare routine. Products should be applied for at least 3 months to achieve significant results.
What precautions should I take with Retinol 8?
When introducing Retinol 8, we recommend that you start slowly.
Even though it is less likely to irritate the skin than traditional retinol, your skin needs time to adapt. Start by introducing it 1 evening in 3 and increase use as skin tolerance allows. If you've never used retinol before, we recommend starting with a cream, as they are generally less concentrated than serums. Finally, we always recommend applying sun protection (min SPF30, ideally SPF50) every morning.
