REN Skincare – A brief intro
For those unfamiliar with REN Skincare, it is a brand of skincare that originates from the UK. What makes this brand different from other brands is that its selling point is that it is a “clean” brand i.e. it does not contain a lot of known harmful chemicals and it is also a brand that operates on using plant and mineral bio-actives.
What this means is that in every product, there are high tech bio-actives which give you the performance promised. The bio-actives are derived from plants and minerals and do not contain harmful chemicals or petrochemicals so they are “clean”. Finally, the products are a pleasure to use because they have a wonderful sensorial texture and fragrance. I’ve got a rundown on the brand in this post, a brief review on what I’d first tried, and in this post when they came back.
For those with sensitive skins, you may find that many of these products are suitable for sensitive skin use, even down to the Glycolactic Radiance Renewal Mask which many have touted to be very effective and gentle on their skins. My personal favourite is the Moroccan Rose Otto body oil which is a delight to the senses and to dry skin. I have also used up the Omega 3 Night Repair Serum and the Frankincense night cream, both of which I enjoyed using tremendously. I only stopped because I got distracted. Some day, I may go back to them.
Another product I am keen to try, because it gets so many raves, is the Bio Retinoid Anti-Aging Concentrate. You may notice my focus on anti-aging but that’s because I’m in that age group 😀 What REN is also popular for is their Hydracalm range for sensitive skins, to rebalance your skin. There are loads more products which I’m not familiar with so learning of them at the workshop will be as interesting for me as it will be for you 😉
You’ll learn more about all this at the workshop on the 14th September, 2013 (Saturday) @ 2.00pm so if you have the time and inclination, please do come and join us for a fun relaxing afternoon. I’ll be there with bells on (ok, not literally! What a sight that would be LOL ) but I’ll be there and I’d love to be able to meet some of you then 😀
To recap here’s the info you need:-
If you’re planning to attend, do let me know so I can keep an eye out for you! I’m excited, I hope you are too! 😀

September 3, 2013 at 8:37 amI love REN skincare, probably one of my favourite brands for cleansers. I’ve used their Hydracalm Cleansing Gel and the Purity Cleansing Balm, both favourites. It’s expensive, but definitely work it because it deep cleanses but is not stripping.
Paris B says
September 3, 2013 at 5:44 pmI have only tried the Rosa Centifolia cleanser which I found average but I have been wanting to try their cleansing balm or the Hydracalm cleanser which I’m told is very good! They do have some nice items. Some are a bit of a miss too but overall I think they have a lot to offer! Glad to know you like the brand too Sheila 😀

September 3, 2013 at 9:19 amIt’s finally materialized! Great job! I wish I could be there. I’ve been curious about REN since it’s not available where I am. It’s really too bad. I hope you’ll have a great time!
Paris B says

September 3, 2013 at 12:36 pmOooh..so excited. Ok, I have just called up to reserved my spot. According to the girl at Kens Apothecary, I can just reserved my spot first and buy the RM50 voucher on 14 September. Cannot wait :-). Do you know how long is the duration of the workshop?
Paris B says
September 3, 2013 at 5:47 pmYay! Looking forward to meet you then! I didn’t know you can just reserve your spot – that’s awesome! It should be about 2 hours although if we all start yakking I don’t know how long more we’d be there LOL! 😉

Yu Ming says
September 6, 2013 at 10:12 amI check your blog often but this is the first time I’ve commented… 🙂 Would love to attend and have a chance to try out REN, but I would be on a flight to Melbourne at that very moment. Hopefully there’ll be future events like this one so I can attend. Have fun!
Paris B says
September 6, 2013 at 1:02 pmHi Yu Ming, aww that’s a pity but Melbourne will be so much more fun! 😀 Let’s see how this goes and we can work out others moving forward 🙂

Paris B says
October 20, 2013 at 3:07 pmHi Miss Muffet, I can’t place your nick off hand but it’s good to know you enjoyed the event. I won’t and can’t speculate on anyone’s preferences or statuses but I do think he presented the information well and in an interesting manner. I’ve enjoyed most of what I’ve tried from REN so far too.
