"I find this texture from Versed so similar to Tatcha for a fraction of the price. We've got that light, fluffy quality, almost marshmallowy like feel to it. It's not quite as luxurious, not quite as elegant, but it's so darn similar. You do get that nice feeling of hydration from this moisturizer and then that really beautiful skin conditioning, skin softening. I love touching my skin. It feels so soft and nourished and conditioned on top, but it's not weighed down. It's not greasy."

"With Versed you don't have as much of that happening. There's a little occlusivity to it, it's very light. Remember that algae extract really helps to hug things in, but with Tatcha where we had like three to four film forming agents, we have like one happening here in Versed. That's really the difference."

"This is an affordable fragrance free ingredients alternative to Laneige Water Bank cream. It actually does have a lot of similar main star ingredients in here. It maintains that richness of the Water Bank cream, that creamy silkiness to it, that surprising burst of hydration and that really airy fluffy lightness to the cream."

"This is the Versed Skin Soak Rich Moisture Cream. This stuff has squalane and red algae extract, it is amazing, it is super soft. [...] It does not have much smell to it, it is very rich, hydrating, super moisturizing, goes well under makeup. I have most of the time used it at night underneath or on top of my tretinoin, and this has been part of my retinol sandwich method for the winter months. I would definitely repurchase this again."

"This is one of my favorite products from Versed. It is quite versatile, it can be used by all skin types. I love that it's almost like an in-between, like a rich gel cream to cream formula, but it hydrates and nourishes but without feeling too heavy or looking greasy. Ingredient-wise it contains azelaic acid and red algae extract, just a blend of wonderful ingredients that helps to nourish, hydrate the skin barrier. For me I love using this in the summertime as my nighttime moisturizer."

"The moisture silk one from Versed is another great moisturizer I love using all year round. In fact in the summer time I'll use it as my nighttime moisturizer and in the winter I will actually change it to use it in the morning. I find that it keeps my skin better hydrated in the morning but it's still very lightweight and fast absorbing and has really wonderful ingredients."

Dermatologist Reviews VERSED Skincare | Dr. Jenny Liu

"Texture-wise it's definitely going to be more nourishing, so I love this in the summer time as my nighttime moisturizer or even in the winter time as my daytime moisturizer because it nourishes your skin and moisturizes without that super thick sticky feel. I actually think that this moisturizer is one of the most versatile moisturizers from their line in this sense, it really can be utilized by all skin types just depending on where you live and the season."

"Some of the products from them that I used to have in my collection but that I won't repurchase anymore include [...] the Skin Soak Rich Moisture Cream. It's nice, but nice just doesn't cut it for me in skincare anymore."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
