Retinol and/or its derivatives are a hot topic right now. People have learnt that this is one of the key ingredients that actively slow down the signs of aging, and can actually make your skin look more youthful, with regular use.

I’m particularly keen on a new one in the market that was launched recently – the Murad Retinal ReSculpt™ Overnight Treatment.

While I’m evaluating it on myself, here’s a little preview of what it is, and what it can offer those of us who need something a little stronger than what is available on the market (or for us who need a little more help 😛 ).

REN is (or used to be) one of my favorite skincare brands. I remember their origin story, which was that it was formulated by 2 men whose wives developed skin problems/sensitivity, and it was an interesting British brand, with an interesting ethos.

It was acquired and is now owned by Unilever, and while I have appreciated how much they have grown since, and how diverse their product range has become, it does feel like a lot of the soul of the brand is no longer there.

That said however, I do still enjoy using some products from the brand, and I’m always open to try something new from them, because of nostalgia 😀 I’ve been using the REN Glow Daily Vitamin C Gel Cream as my day cream.

I attended an event recently for an eye product. Regular readers will know that I don’t use any (I know it flies in the face of all beauty blogging logic, but I don’t!) but I always receive questions about eye products. So really, this one was for all of you! 😀

I also picked this as it was for the L’Oreal Paris Revitalift Hyaluronic Acid Eye Serum, and this is a brand that is easily available and relatively affordable. We all want and need affordable products these days, I know.

While I take it for a little whirl, here’s a little more info on it, if you’re thinking about getting an eye product this weekend.

Unlike many people who discovered or rediscovered their love for fragrance during the pandemic lockdowns, I did not. Most of my fragrances sat around gathering dust (literally) and I had all but forgone wearing any fragrance for a long long time.

Recently however, I have been out and about a little more for social events, which means that a little spritz of fragrance is necessary, or risk raising social ire 😛

One scent I’ve taken to again recently is the Jo Malone Mimosa & Cardamom cologne.
