Versed Skin Refine Exfoliating Serum — 30 ml Gentle Mandelic + Salicylic Acid Daily Pore-Clearing

Versed Skin Refine is a lightweight, daily exfoliating serum that blends mandelic and salicylic acids to gently clear pores, smooth texture, and improve overall radiance without over-drying.

Designed as a gentle everyday treatment, this 30 ml/1 fl oz serum pairs an 8% mandelic acid concentration with 0.2% salicylic acid and willow bark extract to lift away dead skin cells and ease congestion. Glycerin is added to retain moisture so skin feels comfortable rather than tight after application. Formulated to be vegan, cruelty-free, and free of parabens, silicones, sulfates, phthalates, synthetic fragrance, and drying alcohols, it’s intended for regular use to help refine pores and even skin texture.

How will this serum affect my pores and texture?

The dual-acid formula targets surface buildup and deeper congestion: mandelic acid helps loosen dead skin at the surface while salicylic acid and willow bark work to penetrate oilier pores. Over consistent use, texture looks smoother and pores appear less pronounced without aggressive irritation.

• 8% mandelic acid for surface exfoliation and gentle renewal
• 0.2% salicylic acid to help clear and decongest pores
• 0.5% willow bark extract as a gentle source of salicylates
• Lightweight, non-stripping texture that layers under moisturizers

Can I use this serum every day and with other actives?

This product is formulated for daily use as a mild exfoliant, but skin tolerance varies. Start by applying once every other day, then increase frequency if your skin tolerates it well. Avoid layering with other strong exfoliants on the same night to reduce irritation.

• Begin with a few applications per week, then progress to daily as tolerated
• Safe to combine with hydrating and calming ingredients like ceramides and niacinamide
• Use caution when pairing with retinoids or high-strength AHAs/BHAs; alternate nights if needed
• Always follow with sunscreen during the day to protect renewed skin

Will the serum dry out sensitive or reactive skin?

Versed Skin Refine includes glycerin to help maintain hydration and minimize the drying effects sometimes associated with chemical exfoliants. The relatively low salicylic concentration and inclusion of mandelic acid (known for being gentler) make it suitable for many sensitive skin types, though patch testing is recommended.

• Hydrating glycerin helps preserve skin moisture after exfoliation
• Lower salicylic content reduces risk of excessive dryness
• Fragrance-free and free from known irritating ingredients
• Perform a patch test if your skin is highly reactive

How should I incorporate this into my routine?

Apply a few drops to clean, dry skin before moisturizer—either morning or evening, depending on your tolerance. If used in the morning, follow with a broad-spectrum SPF; if used at night, pair with soothing hydrating layers to support recovery while you sleep.

• Use on cleansed skin; dispense a small amount and smooth over the face
• Follow with moisturizer to lock in hydration and reduce sensitivity
• Apply sunscreen each morning after use to protect newly exfoliated skin
• Adjust frequency based on skin response and combine thoughtfully with other actives

Who is this for: Versed Skin Refine Gentle Pore Clearing Serum is intended for people seeking a mild, everyday chemical exfoliant to address uneven texture, visible pores, and occasional congestion. It suits individuals looking for a clean, vegan formula that balances exfoliation with hydration—especially those who prefer a gentler alternative to high-strength alpha or beta hydroxy acid treatments. If you have very reactive skin, consider a patch test or consulting a dermatologist before regular use.
