If you have sensitive skin, you know that there’s a delicate balance between cleansing and moisturizing. We have to walk the tightrope of getting a true, deep cleanse without stripping our skin and causing irritation. Tip too far in one direction, and you have a recipe for ultra-dry skin. And on the other side, greasy skin that never feels truly clean. From one sensitive “skin haver” to another, the key is to have the right ingredients that protect your skin barrier and gently remove dirt, dead skin and product buildup. And we’ve found a golden child in Verso Cleansing Balm ($40)!
The Benefits of the Verso Cleansing Balm
This Sweden-made cleanser is formulated with dry and sensitive skin in mind. It packs nourishing ingredients with gentle exfoliation and thorough cleansing. The formula includes high-powered Panthenyl Triacetate and Naringenin, known for having skin-supporting functions that soothe skin, reduce redness and boost hydration.
Meanwhile, melting jojoba beads provide a super-gentle exfoliation that doubles as another moisturizer and humectant that reduces water loss. Shea butter and canola oil reinforce this super-moisturizing balm, while bisabolol, derived from chamomile, provides yet another layer of skin-soothing support. Critically, you massage this product into the skin until the nourishing jojoba beads melt. This sensory experience only adds to the balm’s indulgent, luxe feeling. After all, with each use, you gently massage your face. It is a genuinely relaxing and calming moment.
And if that isn’t enough, Verso Cleansing Balm also comes in a mess-free tube! A balm you don’t have to repeatedly stick your fingers into (or struggle to avoid getting under your nails) is a genuine superstar in our book.
