Versed Weekend Glow Brightening Serum
by Versed · skin_care
Editor's Take
Licorice and Niacinamide lead a glycol-heavy delivery system that punches above its price point on efficacy but leans hard on petrochemical solvents.
Four-pillar formula scores
- Efficacy: 7.4 / 10
- Modern Tech: 6.8 / 10
- Clean Beauty: 7.3 / 10
- Sustainability: 7.8 / 10
The Verdict
This is a genuinely effective brightening serum that prioritizes stability and penetration over green chemistry purity. The high-glycol base drives Licorice Root Extract, Niacinamide, and stable Vitamin C into the skin efficiently, and the water-break gel texture layers beautifully under moisturizer. Worth it for results-focused routines where petrochemical solvents aren't a dealbreaker.
