I can never rave enough about REN, such an incredible brand who have so many amazing products, one of my favourites being the Magnesium Booster Bath Salts (review here). New to the Radiance collection comes the REN Clean Skincare Radiance Glow Daily Vitamin C Gel Cream which arrived a while before Christmas and launches in just a few weeks time.
Described as being a clean, weightless gel moisturiser, this gel cream is quite unlike anything I have used before, especially from REN. Using both Vitamin C and Magnesium to gently deliver a brighter and more hydrated complexion, with REN you know there is always a little more magic somewhere. The magic within this product is it is not at all irritating to sensitive skin and is friendly to all skin types. I have personally never had a problem using any of REN products on my skin or my body, in fact my skin reacts really well to pretty much everything I have used.
Using a gentle, stable form of Vitamin C which works to illuminate skin and reduce hyperpigmentation, REN calls this your risk-free, no redness approach to getting smoother, brighter skin. The Vitamin C, combined with super-hydrating and illuminating Magnesium works to nourish and replenish and this gives you a daily facial moisturiser to brighten your lacklustre complexion and release that inner glow. The final ingredient worth raving about is called Tara Pod Extract and this is a first for me as far as I can remember, what it does is works directly with your skin’s own ecosystem to smooth, refine texture and even tone, naturally, of course, there is a whole lot of science behind how it does this but what I like is that it has anti-inflammatory properties which help to decrease redness on the skin and Antioxidant properties which protect the skin. Putting all of this together, the aim is to give you skin which is has an even tone, feels smooth to the touch and is re-energised and radiant.
Designed to be used after cleansing, you need just one pump of the gel cream which you massage on to your face and neck until it is fully absorbed. What I like about it is that I am not having to spend ages massaging the cream into my skin, it does most of the work for you on contact and as it does so, that citrus scent, which, if you are familiar with rest of the Radiance collection you will recognise, really comes to life and is quite uplifting. Once it has been massaged into the skin, there is no residue left behind, not a hint that you have applied any cream other than soft, smooth to the touch skin and dare I say it, a slight peeking of a natural glow too, so much so, I have already been asked what skincare I have been using over the festive period because I look so well! In fairness before Christmas I had the most horrendous cold and chest infection and probably looked incredibly haggard!
This REN Clean Skincare Radiance Glow Daily Vitamin C Gel Cream launches nationwide in February but you can get your hands on it right now via REN or SpaceNK and it is priced at £38 for 50ml.
