Versed’s New Serum Skin Tint: Ultra Lightweight and Just $20! What happens when a beloved skincare brand known for its budget-friendly, effective products ventures into makeup?

What occurs when a skincare brand known for its budget-friendly yet effective formulations introduces a makeup line? A range of products, all priced under $20, that are simple to use and packed with skin-loving ingredients, including a skin tint I instantly adored. The Versed Skin Solution Multi-Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 ($20) embodies everything I hope for in a little green bottle: mineral SPF 40 (my preference for mineral formulas on my face, as the American Academy of Dermatology suggests SPF 30 or higher), adjustable coverage, a natural finish, and a lightweight consistency.

For me, indicators of an exceptional skin tint or foundation include its ability to avoid clinging to dry patches (a nod to my fellow dry-skin friends), avoid oxidizing (meaning it doesn’t turn orange), and maintain its presence without fading or separating throughout the day. I’ve experienced these issues far too often. The Versed tint excelled in all these aspects, earning itself a spot in my daily skin routine. It’s well-deserved; I hold high standards when it comes to base products, having tried countless formulations over the years.

Continue reading for my comprehensive review of the Versed Skin Solution Multi-Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 and find out why it should become your next staple, too.

I was genuinely impressed with the coverage it provided. Many skin tints leave my skin glowing yet offer minimal coverage (nothing wrong with that — it just doesn’t suit me when I’m dealing with an inflamed blemish). However, this skin tint blurs my pores, reduces redness, gives a hydrated glow, and conceals some stubborn pimples (due to stress or hormones). While it’s not delivering the full coverage of a foundation, it provides breathable, buildable coverage without heaviness. No caking, no creasing, just a radiant, natural look.

The mineral SPF is another highlight for me. The debate of chemical versus mineral sunscreen can be divisive, but I prefer mineral formulations for my face. Chemical options work better for my body, but they often cause irritation on my face. Using this product that includes SPF means my morning routine is quicker.

The Versed Skin Solution Multi-Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 comes in an elegant green glass bottle. I dispense two pumps onto the back of my hand, which is the right amount for light to medium coverage. Versed also offers a Face Diffuser Multi-Tasking Brush ($15) for application. I applied the tint to dry skin using this brush, and it blended effortlessly.

With 14 shades available, it’s essential to select the right shade for your skin tone and undertone. Also, keep in mind that as a skin tint, it won’t provide full coverage. Pair it with a concealer or color corrector for enhanced coverage.

You can purchase the Versed Skin Solution Multi-Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 on the brand’s official website and at Target.
