Radiant skin thanks to REN Skincare

I am seriously crushing on this brand right now. I have only recently started using their products, but have been lusting after REN for years. Also see my previous reviews HERE and HERE.

The number 1 product that I have been wanting to try is the GLYCOLACTIC RADIANCE RENEWAL MASK. Off the bat I knew I was going to be impressed as so many bloggers give this mask rave reviews.

A potent bio active peel mask designed to renew the complexion, reduce the appearance of fine lines and dramatically improve skin tone. Results: Skin looks brighter, healthier, more radiant. Helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Combats congestion, blackheads and blemishes.

A generous amount of the gel-like mask is applied onto clean skin and left to do its magic for 10 minutes. After those 10 minutes my skin looks radiant and bright and feels silky smooth. I love using it when my skin needs a little extra boost. It also works beautifully after a deep cleansing mask. R490.

RESURFACING AHA CONCENTRATE

When I see AHA I always get excited. Love me some acids, ha-ha.

A concentrate formulated to resurface the skin and renew the complexion giving a radiant, youthful glow. A complex of Glycolic, Lactic, Tartaric and Citric acids promotes skin-cell turnover leaving skin looking revitalised, brighter, smoother and more healthy.

I apply this product at night after I’ve cleansed, before applying my serums and moisturiser. I have been using it for a couple of weeks and I think it’s worth every cent. My skin is left smooth and radiant and I wake up looking fresh. My skin looks brighter and more even since I’ve started using it. Great stuff REN. R480

MICRO POLISH CLEANSER

A two in one formula that deeply cleanses and gently exfoliates the skin to leave it looking purified, renewed and radiant. Results: Skin feels purified, smooth and soft. The complexion appears brighter, radiant and more energized. Helps reduce the appearance of pore size and fine lines.

I prefer exfoliators that come in liquid or mask form as my skin can be very sensitive to abrasive scrubs. Luckily this one has not irritated my skin at all. I use it once a week and usually follow with a deep cleansing mask. As far as scrubs go, I really like this one. R320

Perfectly cleansed skin with REN

REN Skincare has two fabulous cleansers that I am really enjoying right now. I am still getting to know this brand, but I am starting to get what all the hype is about. You can also have a look at my review of a couple of gorgeous Morocco Rose Otto body products.

The Rosa Centifolia 3-in-1 Cleansing Water is a cleanser, make-up remover and toner in one and is suitable for even the most sensitive skins as it is alcohol, soap and detergent free. The Rosa Centifolia and Rosa Damascena Petals tones and tightens pores, decongests, protects facial vessels and it will leave your skin feeling fresh and soothed.

It is pretty much what you would expect from a quality micellar solution – it looks and feels like water, but cleanses your skin and removes make-up. But this one seems to pack bit more punch somehow. Usually I need to use 2 to 3 cotton pads soaked in micellar solution before I feel that all traces of make-up are gone, but with this one I only need one and all make-up is removed from my face (eyes need one more). I’m impressed.  This product is great as a first cleanse in the evening or used for a morning cleanse. RRP R250 for 200ml.

The Rosa Centifolia Express Make-up Remover is a ’gentle cleansing milk that quickly and effortlessly removes make-up including waterproof mascara from the face and delicate eye area’… ‘by applying it with a cotton pad and sweeping over closed eyes’.

This is not quite how I would describe it or how I use the product. First of all, it is thick and creamy (and lovely), not quite what I would call a milk and I have been using it as you would a cream cleanser. I massage it into my skin using my fingers and then I remove it using a wash cloth (flannel). My skin is left feeling clean and soothed and I love using it for a morning cleanse. I sometimes use it as a first cleanse in the evening as well as it (obviously) does a great job at removing make-up. This product is gorgeous. It contains Rosa Centifolia to tone and tighten pores, Rice Bran to soften and hydrate and Rose Petals to decongest and soothe. RRP R240 for 150ml.

Two thumbs up for both of these REN.

REN Skincare products are available from selected Woolworths and Foschini stores or online from REN.
