Veriphy Skincare Review (Vegan, Cruelty-Free, and Supporting Women in STEM)
“Powered by Nature, Backed by Science”
The new Canadian skincare brand Veriphy is one that definitely deserves to be checked out. Currently, the company only offers three targeted beauty products, but each of them are worthy of a mention.
The creators of the products are Women in STEM (love that), and they created a curated range with products containing PhytoSpherix, a 100% plant-based glycogen. This product is said to aid the skin in the production of collagen, hyaluronic acid, and elastic so the user can achieve smoother, more plump-looking skin. The brand also hopes to inspire more women to work in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math.
Using natural ingredients that have been backed by science and targeted studies validated by independent labs, Veriphy is a very reasonably priced for the quality of the product. Everything is also free of parabens, phthalates, sulfates, mineral oils, fragrances, and silicones. Non-toxic, just as I like it!
All the products from this Canadian company are developed and manufactured using sustainable materials and packaging in the True North Strong & Free, meaning you can feel good as you continue to do good for the environment. Win-win!
SELF ABSORBED FACIAL MOISTURIZER

Veriphy’s Self Absorbed Facial Moisturizer is worth coveting, thus confirming the validity of its name.
The reason I like this moisturizer is because it’s very light, and easy to apply. It swipes on beautifully, and doesn’t have any stickiness or greasiness. The formula is scentless, and dries down fairly quick, meaning it’s easy to apply SPF or makeup after use. It’s a great product to use in the morning, when time is of the essence (Being late due to makeup related issues isn’t always justifiable…).
I have very sensitive skin, and this product has never irritated it. No tingling, no redness, no tightness… I’m a fan. I am unsurprised however, as the product is free of “nasty” ingredients, such as parabens, sulfates, phthalates, mineral oils, silicones, and fragrances. Yay!
As for the appearance of my skin, I found it seemed “plump” and “refreshed” within a couple of weeks of using this moisturizer. It was definitely soft to the touch, and I didn’t experience any excess breakouts.
The product is packed with hyaluronic acid and avocado oil to nourish and hydrate. It also has powerful antioxidants such as algae, green tea, and licorice root extracts, which help to brighten the skin. The most interesting ingredient is Veriphy’s own PhytoSpherix®, which is a phytoglycogen that delivers that helps the skin to produce collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. In layman’s terms - it makes your skin look good.
Overall, a great product!
Recommended? Yes!
20/20 EYE CREAM
Though my vision is not naturally 20/20, I can still see the benefits of this amazing eye cream!
Veriphy’s 20/20 Eye Cream is lightweight and easy to apply. This is a quality I search for in an eye cream, since I want to easily be able to pat the product underneath my eye.
The formula is scentless, and feels very luxurious. I noticed a “brightness” to my under-eye area within about a month of using the product morning and night. It helps tackle dark circles, and I find overall that my eyes look less puffy.
The product also claims to also aid in firming and smoothing. However, as I am quite young, those are not features I require yet. However, based on the high-quality ingredients in this product, I feel it is a good preventative eye cream that I could use for a number of years.
The key ingredients in 20/20 Eye Cream are cucumber (to soothe and reduce puffiness), peptides (reduce the appearance of wrinkles), niacinamide (brighten and nourish), and Veriphy’s own PhytoSpherix®, which is their own phytoglycogen that helps the under-eye area produce collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid.
This is a clean product, and it’s devoid of any parabens, phthalates, sulfates, mineral oils, silicones, or fragrances. Love that!
I find this product very effective, and it is my favourite one that Veriphy Skincare has released. It’s worth a try!

POWER TRIP FACIAL SERUM

Unfortunately, this was the one Veriphy product that did not work for me. Rather than this being a reflection of a poor product (it’s not), I realized upon closer inspection at the ingredients that the Lactic Acid bothered me. I have very sensitive skin, and I have experienced a stinging sensation and redness with this ingredient in the past.
I ended up returning the product to the store at which I bought it, but I am glad I gave it a try. However, I do think I should note that one of my friends currently uses the serum, and finds it works beautifully for her skin. Although the product did not work for me, it may be worth a try to see if it’s good for your individual needs. The products are natural, and do feature high-quality ingredients overall.
Recommended? No.
Final Thoughts
Overall, I think Veriphy is a wonderful new brand with a great vision. Although one of the products currently offered didn’t work for my skin, it may be worth trying as everyone’s skin reacts different, and the product may work for you. Ask your local beauty supplier for a sample, or order their “Discovery Kit” online. Personally, my adoration for the Self Absorbed Facial Moisturizer and the 20/20 Eye Cream make this a brand I will continue to use! I am really excited to see and try any new products they offer in the future. Bravo!
