I have a deep love for REN Skincare. Every single REN product I’ve tried has proven to be excellent. I have another one to add to the list… the new REN Instant Firming Beauty Shot.
My favourites include Flash Rinse, Clarimatte™ Invisible Pore Detox Mask, Glycolactic Radiance Renewal Mask, the Resurfacing AHA Concentrate and the amazing Moroccan Rose Otto body range. And now …
REN Instant Firming Beauty Shot Review
This serum is said to instantly lift, firm and plump to give the skin a smoother, tighter and more youthful appearance.
What REN says:
Instant Firming Beauty shot is formulated with a liquid matrix of Phycocolloids and two different Hyaluronans. The Hyaluronans work together to produce both short and long term improvements in skin firmness. Hyaluronan 1 acts as a cell messenger focused on improving cell cohesion leading to an instant tightening and lifting effect. Hyaluronan 2 works deeper down in conjunction with dermal fibroblasts to boost elastin synthesis and improve long term skin firmness.
An evaluation on 30 women proved promising:
•83%* of women said their skin felt firmer 30 minutes after application and 90%* said their skin felt firmer after 6 Hours
•87%* of women said their skin felt more lifted 30 minutes after application and this remained at 87% after 6 Hours
•In a clinical evaluation performed by a dermatologist 100%* of women showed an improvement in skin smoothness after 30 minutes and 87%* continued to show an improvement in skin smoothness after 6 Hours
What I say:
At first I didn’t really feel that this gel-like serum did much. It felt nice and smells lovely, but I didn’t really notice an ‘instant’ change in my skin. THEN after a few days I noticed that my skin looked more youthful and radiant. My skin definitely looked smoother and more supple which was great as change of season can be quite harsh on my sensitive skin (read: patchy and scaly). And people were complimenting me on how great my skin looks. It definitely plumps and smoothes. This serum is now a staple in my routine and I couldn’t be happier with the results. It does wonders on those days when my skin looks a little dull and needs a boost. REN’s Instant Firming Beauty Shot is a definite must-have, especially during winter when one’s skin can do with a little more moisture and radiance. I also love that a little goes a long way and that a drop can be patted onto skin over make-up to give your skin a little extra pick-me-up. Perfect if you want to look your best for an event or night out.
The REN Instant Firming Beauty Shot is suitable for all skin types and available at REN counters for R475 (30ml).
To learn more about this wonderful skincare brand you can have a look at the REN SA website for more info or follow them on Twitter or Facebook.
Well done on yet another winner, REN.
PS I just browsed REN’s website myself and spotted a newbie (or am I behind the times again?). REN has a new cleanser in the Rosa Centifolia range – the Rosa Centifolia Hot Cloth Cleanser. I HAVE to get my hands on this one. It sounds heavenly – warm cloth cleanser on a cold winter night. Ultimate indulgence. Watch this space.
