What the gurus are saying

Retinol is the detail these reviews keep returning to, and it's why the lotion earns praise for smoothing rough texture and making skin look brighter over time. Squalane and vitamin E add hydration and a luxurious feel, which reviewers point to as a plus. Those with sensitive skin may want to start a couple of times a week at night, and go gently around the elbows and underarms.

    "My suggestion for this type of product is Verso Firm Ground Retinol Body Lotion. [...] It combines retinol, caffeine and vitamin E which is going to smooth, firm, brighten and it has squalane for hydration. [...] It boosts collagen, it renews texture and improves elasticity over time. And it's under 20 bucks, so it's a great buy."
    ✓Yay
    "I'm actually on my second bottle of the Verso Firm Ground Retinol Body Lotion and I love this. It's very similar to the Dermatology, I would say it's a little bit lighter weight. This is probably more hydrating than the Verso, but they're both wonderful and they both contain retinol."

    "The Verso brand is great, it's got retinoids in here so this is something you could use a few times a week. [...] I would use this maybe a couple times a week depending on how sensitive your skin is and be very cautious with certain areas, especially like around your elbows, inside that's very sensitive skin, underneath your armpits that gets very sensitive so be cautious about applying too much."
    ✓Yay
    "Verso Retinol Body Lotion has a squalane and aoba oil and it's moisturizing, so that's a really good one."
    ✓Yay
    "The first product is by Verso, it's the Firm Ground Retinol Body Lotion. [...] This has encapsulated retinol in it so it will be most effective at firming the skin, smoothing out the rough texture and make it look all over brighter. Use this at night to preserve the effectiveness of the retinol. This has squalane cocoa butter and vitamin E which all give it the luxurious feel while still containing the powerhouse retinol to do the heavy lifting."
