As far as skincare goes, I’m
still trying to piece together an evening routine I’m entirely satisfied with.
It’s not easy, addressing your every skin care concern when you’re not sure
which products to trust. But I figured I could start with a brand that works
well for me, and that’s where REN came in.
I try hard to stay on the paraben
and mineral oil free spectrum of skincare and I’m also trying to use more
retinol based products. But I picked up both of REN’s Bio Retinoid Anti-Ageing
products, because I was curious of the concept of “retinol-like results”
without retinol itself. I wouldn’t normally buy two similar products, but the
Oil Concentrate and Anti-Ageing Cream complement each other so well.
The oil is best described as a dry
oil. It’s non-greasy and is packed with plant oil extracts such as cotton,
flax, and soybean oils. Although it has added fragrance, it doesn’t irritate my
skin. I also like the anti-oxidant aspect of it.
The cream on the other hand is
rich and nourishing, made with rose water, flax, olive, and fruit extracts, and
beta carotene amongst so many others. It feels like I’m feeding my skin with
all of the good stuff with this one.
I’ve used both of these on and
off for months, but recently I’ve used them consistently at least three or four
times a week. Even when I’m extremely sleep deprived, or I haven’t been careful
with my diet, my skin always looks healthier and radiant, plump and less lined.
Maybe the latter is my imagination, but I’d like to think not. And as I like
both so much, I’ll keep them close at hand.
