RETINOL/VITAMIN A

VITAMIN A IN SKINCARE

Vitamin A is one of the most established ingredients in skincare and is valued for its ability to support smoother, more even-looking and healthy-looking skin.

Vitamin A exists in different forms. Retinoids are a group of Vitamin A derivatives used in skincare, with properties that can influence performance, stability, and tolerability.

At Verso, our Vitamin A expertise is centered around two technologies: Retinol 8 and NEAR 1.
