I posted these on Instagram this morning, as they’ve been among the products we’re judging for the Awards and it was my turn to test the cleansers/exfolators this month. So I’ve picked out 5 which made it into my bathroom (no mean feat, you should see the piles and boxes of products in the sitting room, my flat feels twice as small as normal at the moment).
LEFT TO RIGHT:
Swedish brand VERSO SKINCARE’s main USP is its high retinol content skincare (e.g. the 8 x times retinol serum which is an interesting one), but this is the FOAMING CLEANSER FOR DAILY USE.  After an overload of cream cleansers, I was craving a bit of foam and this hits both spots – it’s hydrating, feels very luxe, like a cream-lotion hybrid and smells like a fresh spring soap (as in luxury, not off the supermarket shelf). After massaging it all over your face (but avoid the eye area), rinse it off with cool water in the morning and warm water in the evening (actually I don’t do the cold water bit, I hate cold climates and cold water!)  It’s been a nice find. Cult Beauty call Verso “a brand new dawn in age-defying skincare” and if you buy any of the products CB will send you 2 x 15ml day creams, FREE, with every purchase.
