Boost skin radiance and moisture with the REN Glow Daily Vitamin C Gel Cream – now a vegan formula

July 3, 2023 Paris B Leave a Comment

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. If it looks a little different, it’s because the packaging has since been updated.

Give skin a brightening boost with the 4-in-one actives daytime serum – Dr. Sam’s Flawless Brightly Serum

I’ve tried a few Dr. Sam’s skincare products over the years since she launched her line, and I have to say that I have rather enjoyed most of them. I’m currently using the Flawless Cleanser and still loving it (and planning to get backups/refills) because it’s such a simple cleanser that just works.

I recently picked up the Dr. Sam’s Flawless Brightly serum, because I’m a bit of a sucker for trying new things, and anything that promises to brighten my skin is worth a shot! 😀

The thing is that the Flawless Brightly serum promises to do so much more!

Loving the quirky name of the Mad Hippie Triple C Night Cream but loving the texture even more!

When I ran out of the last cream I enjoyed using, that I felt made a difference to my skin, I felt a little morose. I always get a little sad when I finish a product that I enjoy, yet I enjoy trying new things. So, it’s a little debate I have with myself each time – do I repurchase, or do I try something new.

Often, I opt to try something new 😛 Why mess with a winning formula, you may ask? Because I’m a glutton for punishment, I guess 😛

But it’s always nice when you do try something new, and it works out well, which is the case with the Mad Hippie Triple C Night Cream.

Hold up! This Medik8 C-Tetra Serum might be the only Vitamin C serum you need!

I came across many raves for the Medik8 C-Tetra serum, where people who had tried it swore up and down that this was THE Vitamin C serum they’d be using from now on.

I got curious, because I love me a good Vitamin C serum, but I always had one in rotation, so it took me quite a while before I got around to picking up a bottle and trying it.

I have to say though, that it has been impressive! 🙂
