What makes this cleanser unique?
1. Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)
Niacinamide found in Verso Acne Deep Cleanse, commonly known as nicotinamide, is a vitamin B3 derivative. Niacinamide may aid in the prevention of acne breakouts and the reduction of sun damage, fine lines, and wrinkles.
Other benefits include:
- Topical Niacinamide at a concentration of 2% has been shown to reduce sebum (oil) production in the skin. Because excess oil can cause acne, Niacinamide’s ability to control oil production may aid in the prevention and treatment of breakouts, particularly in persons with oily skin.
- Niacinamide used topically can assist preserve this function while keeping your skin hydrated.
- Although your skin has some antioxidant activities that protect it from UV damage, topical Niacinamide can provide further protection and help fight reactive oxygen species (ROS) production.
- Furthermore, Niacinamide in Verso Acne Deep Cleanse can help your skin fight DNA damage caused by UV radiation.
- Niacinamide has an anti-inflammatory impact on the skin when applied topically. This may aid in the reduction of redness caused by inflammatory acne, eczema, and other skin irritations.
The majority of clinical trials have concluded that Niacinamide is safe. When you first start utilizing niacinamide products, you may notice some redness and irritation. Some of the discomforts may be natural and will go away with time. Still, persistent irritation could indicate that you’re using too much Niacinamide or a product with too high a niacinamide concentration for your skin type.
2. Purslane extract
Purslane extract, which comes from the succulent Portulaca oleracea, is high in antioxidants. Its effects on the skin—it can help heal wounds, calm inflamed skin, moisturize, and have powerful anti-aging properties—make it a dermatologist-recommended component.
Purslane in Verso Acne Deep Cleanse is a vitamin powerhouse. Purslane is abundant in vitamin A, which fights bacteria; vitamin C, which fights viruses; and vitamin E, which fights free radicals. Purslane can aid with sensitive skin, eczema, acne, and even the most reactive skin.
3. Turmeric (Curcuma longa root extract)
Turmeric, like ginger, is a flowering plant. Curcuminoid is an anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant chemical found in turmeric. As a result, turmeric may be helpful in the treatment of acne and other skin disorders.
Turmeric contains a chemical called curcumin, which, according to a comprehensive review published in 2016, may help with skin disorders like acne. The curcuminoid content of the plant is approximately 90% due to this.
Curcumin found in Verso Acne Deep Cleanse has antimicrobial characteristics, which means it can fight bacteria that cause acne, such as Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes), which can play a significant role in the condition’s development.
P. acnes has also become resistant to various antibiotic treatments, according to a 2019 study, prompting researchers to investigate the effects of curcumin on drug-resistant forms of the bacteria.
4. Salicylic Acid
“An exfoliating face cleanser with a high concentration of salicylic acid for purification of acne-prone and blemished skin,” according to the brand.
For the unfamiliar, salicylic acid in Verso Acne Deep Cleanse is a beta-hydroxy acid that has been useful in treating acne and blemishes in numerous studies.
It works by dissolving the dirt and excess sebum that accumulates in your pores, preventing them from clogging and producing a spot. It treats blackheads and whiteheads and is less aggressive than other acne-fighting ingredients.
5. Paraben-free
Preservatives in the form of parabens are a group of chemical compounds. Methylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben, and ethylparaben will all show up on ingredient lists. For decades, parabens have been used to extend the shelf life of various products. Data suggests, however, that they can mimic estrogens and, as a result, disrupt hormone function. Acne is thought to be caused by hormonal shifts. As a result, preservative-free cosmetics, like Verso Acne Deep Cleanse, may be a good option for you.
6. Sulfate-free
Sulfate is a component in several cleansers that produce delightful foam. This component can absorb your skin’s natural moisture, causing the barrier to break down. Excess oil production and plugged pores result in additional breakouts.
7. Phthalates-free
Phthalates are a class of compounds commonly found in cosmetics and household items. They soften skin and dissolve specific substances when applied to skincare products. Because studies have shown that phthalates can have negative health impacts, many dermatologists advise against using them.
How to use
Apply Verso Acne Deep Cleanse after removing your makeup in the morning and evening. Use it once or twice a week to exfoliate sensitive skin gently. Pour a tiny amount of Verso Acne Deep Cleanse onto your hands and mix with water to create a lather. Rinse well with lukewarm water before continuing with your acne skincare routine.
