| Verdict | An eight-ingredient Finnish oil cleanser with no preservatives, no surfactants, and no fragrance — just castor, sunflower, sweet almond, jojoba, oat, and Nordic lingonberry seed oils. Lingonberry oil is the Nordic answer to rosehip — high in alpha-linolenic acid and tocopherols. 100% natural, 98% organic. The kind of cleanser that Korean oil-cleansing fans graduate to. | Verso's cleansing balm — the first step in a routine built around the brand's retinol 8 technology. The balm format melts on contact with skin, dissolving sunscreen, makeup, and oxidised sebum, then emulsifies with water for a clean rinse. Squalane and olive oil provide the lipid-dissolution phase, vitamin E delivers antioxidant support during cleansing, and the texture transforms from solid balm → oil → milky emulsion as water is added. At ~$38 for 100ml, mid-tier pricing. The Verso N°1 numbering reflects the brand's systematic skincare sequencing — this is literally step 1. A functional, elegant cleansing balm from the brand that made retinol 8 famous, designed to prep the skin for the retinol treatments that follow. |
