"Last month, a Stockholm-based brand called Verso Skincare suddenly popped up out of nowhere at a few top U.S. beauty retailers (including my personal obsession, Beautyhabit). Naturally, that got my attention. The line is based on an active ingredient called Retinol 8, which they say is up to eight (get it?) times more effective than other over-the-counter retinols. Is it true? asked everyone over 21. I tried the Super Facial Serum to find out. I&amp;#x27;ve used over-the-counter retinols for a few years now in the hopes of preventing wrinkles (though prescription-strenth versions like Retin-A are starting to tempt me). I have sensitive skin, so I know what to expect from these products: A little redness and peeling at first and then smoother, more even skin after a week or two. Now, on to how this one compared... Many &amp;quot;serums&amp;quot; have a more fluid texture, but this one is a thick, rich cream. Since the weather got downright nippy this month, it was nice to slather on a cream instead of a liquid, and I didn&amp;#x27;t feel the need to follow it with moisturizer. Did I get red? No. Did I peel? No. Did it sting? No. I didn&amp;#x27;t feel like I was wearing an anti-aging product at all. But did it do anything? After two weeks of daily use, my skin was extra glow-y. It looked more even too. One morning, I tried layering this over another product I love, Kora Organics Luxurious Rosehip Oil, and my pores pretty much disappeared (well, you know, for the day). The verdict: While it&amp;#x27;s pricey ($120) this serum is a good buy for someone with sensitive skin. You most likely won&amp;#x27;t get any redness or peeling (I didn&amp;#x27;t), and your money will go further than it would if you spent it on a facial (which, let&amp;#x27;s face it, won&amp;#x27;t make any lasting difference in sensitive skin unless you have another issue, like acne). Do any of you use retinols, and would you try this one? If it&amp;#x27;s too pricey for you, what&amp;#x27;s the max you&amp;#x27;d spend on a skin care cream?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
