Thank you ever so much for recommending omega 3 skin oil a couple of years ago, it saved my skin. There's no more irritation, redness, dry patches, it's all gone. You are the best, Caroline ❤️
This was a lovely video, Caroline! The ClearCalm range was a GODSEND for my acne skin. So many acne ranges are quite harsh while this one was just a perfect balance for my skin.
So glad to see this, I love REN. Thank you. Was hoping you'd mention the bio-retinoid range, do you have any opinion on the retinoid oil in particular? How does it compare to the likes of Luna or the Pestle and Mortar Superstar one? X
OMG YES YES YES all the years to the RUclips visual demo cheat sheets!!! I can’t describe how much I love this idea and need them in my life!! Don’t know how I coped before discovering your genius! X
Thanks for this review on REN! This fits better in my budget, so it’s nice to know you believe in the brand. Would you mind reviewing Sunday Riley products in the future?
I love REN so much! The clearcalm cleanser is my holy grail, it the gentlest! But does it's job well :) I also love the glycolactic radiance mask as a first step in multimasking.
Hi Caroline, so many comments so not sure you’ll see but I’ll give it a whirl: I went to a skin clinic last week to talk about treatments for hyper pigmentation they asked what I usually do to my skin I responded I use acids (lactic, glycolic) in the form of nip and fab pads and January labs skin essentials pm/am. They told me I shouldn’t use acids because I have darker skin and this makes Hy-pig worse, that acids are only useful on fairer tones. Is that the case? I follow your blog and recommendations so was bewildered to hear this! (Sorry for long comment) xx
Perfect canvas has done amazing things for my ever changing oily acne prone aging skin. Love it. Makeup stays fresh all day no oil break through at all it’s become a holy grail product almost over night
Caroline, you know your readers/viewers so well! I would love to see your cheat sheets into actions, especially your massage techniques! I can't wait to see more of your energy, great and sincere advices!
I use the REN Retnoid Cream. I use it morning and night. It hydrates, exfoliates, and keeps my skin clear. You get 1.70 ounces of product for $78 CAD. I am on my 3rd bottle. Please Note: you need to use SPF with this product.
Thanks for this video! REN was my first entry into cleansing balms and clean products. I use that flash hydroboost everyday I have to be at work all day, and the rose shower gel is so amazing. Now I want to try the omega oil.
Sweet Baby Jesus! that insert you did of the close up was BRILLIANT. Now do that to all the products you mention in your future videos. I promise you getting up each time was giving me a head spin. Love your vids, very informative and dont stop the rants i love them also xox
Yes to cheat sheets please Caroline. Also Ren looks great for me I'm 59 dry sensitive lined saggy skin lol possibly not helped by yoyo dieting over the years. Ive just started tretinoin which I have purchased from abroad poor us in the UK xx
I’m really looking forward to your retinol and buffer cream video! I have acne prone combination sensitive skin. It easily get spots but also get pissed off and I get dry and develop eczema around my mouth. If treat the dryness I get blackheads and clogged pores but if i treat the spots my face gets flakey. I think I could use some help with tolerating differin!
Yes please to cheat sheets. Love Ren and been waiting for this vid. Vita Mineral Emollient Rescue Cream has been my go-to for years and I haven’t found any other moisturiser that beats it. Thank you for confirming I’m onto a winner :) xx
Love the idea of Live Cheat Sheets....marvelous video series btw....I get so befuddled by skincare brands sometimes that I simply walk away..I trust your suggestions. thank you !
I would absolutely LOVE the idea of the cheat sheet videos! I also have loved this video, I've loved all your brand overviews but I'm a trainee teacher and only 22 so some of the others have been out of price range/need. I'm looking at buying some of these although I already love the oil and use it pretty much daily!
caroline please make more videos about us who want amazing skincare and have very little money. I know you say spend your money in the middle of the routine but can you make a vid suggesting affordable cleansers, GOOD serums etc for different skin types but poor budgets? I have invested in a tata harper cleanser (literally half my wage) but I didn't see much difference because I havent created an all around good routine (couldnt afford much else tbh so im using mv organics jojoba oil as a serum/moisturiser) and january labs spritz.
Thank you so much Caroline! I had already purchased the ClearCalm cleanser based on your recommendation and the corresponding moisturizer. Today I purchased the Wake Wonderful Night-Time Facial and Perfect Canvas thanks to your amazing offer and review! Quick question- with the Wake Wonderful, the video states to put that on after cleansing, would you follow up with a moisturizer? My skin is pretty oily so I don't think I'd necessarily need the moisture just wanted to check. P.S. I was so excited that I got such a beautiful free gift with purchase when I used your code!
Yep that's correct. Also in Danish. This is the best birthday present. I moved all my cleansing products because my Ren clay cleanser fell in the toilet it was half full :( I find the longer you use the cleanser the more top heavy the the packaging gets.
Brilliant , will definitely be stocking up on some body treats and the cleansers sound great. Thank you Caroline and Ren. Also loving all of this content your giving us !!!! xx
Thank you thank you this is everything as an esthetician here on the states I really love these brand breakdown but I also love you entire approach to skin care. Love you.
rose Otto i used just after having my baby - so relaxing and comforting. My new favourites is their beauty shot (two they have) one for face and one for eyes
Caroline can you please share what foundation you have been wearing. Your skin looks amazing, I know a foundation cannot give you good skin, but I’m in a really rubbish time right now, can u plz recommend something. Thanks!
I just love your brand overview videos❤️ Your the only one i trust, when it comes to skincare. Have you ever done a brand overview on Dermalogica?? Please do👏🏻
Thanks Caroline the brand overviews are great and incredibly informatIve. I’ve used Ren body products for a long time but had never jumped into the skin care sownill definitey investigate. Also YT cheat sheets would be fab
Hey I have another vote for RUclips cheat sheets pleeeease, my particular issue is living in a hot hot hot climate and needing to dry layers in between (with a battery powered handheld mini fan)... or should I be waiting to let things dry themselves and stay on for a certain time between layers?... which is tricky when trying to get out the door in the morning esp after working out sweating, having a shower and still sweating when I get out .... and needing to look presentable at some point 15 minutes later... love your work :-)
Hi Caroline and David! Caroline, thanks for doing this and these videos! So helpful! David, my personal hero product (not an exaggeration), Rose Centifolia cleansing balm, recently changed packaging from a pot to a pump and it's just not good. Would you consider passing this on to your packaging folks? It really doesn't lend itself to that form, it's too frustrating to use anymore, and it was the best part of my routine! The smell is amazing! Anyway, thanks for listening.
Hi Lauren, I know - oopsie...the pump was not great... but guess what? We took that onboard and changed it to a lovely, easy to squeeze tube - available now! Thanks for the kind words and happy you love it!
Thanks so much for replying! I will definitely pick up the tube, but is it terrible that I do still hope for a return to the pot? It just felt so luxurious to scoop that luscious cream out! (my life is not terribly glamorous, so it was kind of a special ritual!)
I hear you, there is something rewarding about scooping delicious things from a pot... unfortunately people were getting a ton of water into it and then getting into a real bother as it activates! I find a tube goes further and (thankfully) is a little more travel-friendly. I take with me and it doubles as my mask (leave on for 10 minutes), sunburn soother and cleanser... I even dab a little onto hair... x
Love you Caroline! I'm your biggest fan 👍🏼👍🏼... shall try the face mist for sure ... could you make a video about what people like me should own in their kit ?? I'm a mum of two toddlers , not getting much sleep, just doing school runs and shopping, not going to work for some more time and wear make up occasionally .. but stressed, rushed and always on the run and skincare took a backseat ever since I got pregnant... it's all showing now 😖🤦🏽♀️.. give me some hope 😣 if I can fix it .. thanks a ton 👍🏼👍🏼.. you are the best 😘😘
I have always adored the REN Evercalm day cream and really want to try something more from the line. Can you tell me the purpose of denatured alcohol (Wake Wonderful) and fragrance (perfect canvas) listed in some of the products? Thank you...I look forward to trying more.
Mandy!!! My hubby and I have watched you for a year and a half and love you! I feel like I have a mini Bible study every time I watch your videos! Love the Bible verse at the beginning of your videos! Hope that you are having a great Sunday!
Thank you for doing this brand review. I got introduced to REN almost a year ago and use the Evercalm daily moisturizer every day. I'm excited to try the bath products.
Hello Caroline. Yes, I would be interested to hear more about Clarimatte Clarifying Lotion. Is the lactic acid from pineapple strong enough for a good exfoliation ? Thank you.
Every eye cream I have ever tried gives me a rash (tiny red dots/bumps) after a few days. I used to use the Vita Mineral skin oil a while back and really liked it...would the eye gel maybe be a good one to try? Great video as always btw :-)
So so excited to see this Ms. Hirons as I’ve used REN for years and love everything. I appreciate the discount code and although it doesn’t really make sense for me in Canada I’m not bothered as I’ll be buying it at Sephora as per. Love Wake wonderful, the oil and the Evercalm range (rosacea here) as well as the hydro boost: it was a bit of a learning curve but onto it now. I’m intrigued to try the “primer” and the emollient cream, that’s next. Oh and would love to see video cheat sheets! Cheerio. ❤️🇨🇦
Code doesn’t work for me either but it detects that I’m in Switzerland - could be that, although they ship here.... Yes, to the cheat sheet videos, love them 👍🏼 ps: your skin looks amazing 💗
You have such a great delivery in all vids, especially in these ‘instructional’ ones. Bravo. I’m sure there’s LOTS of time/research/energy involved in these-every min is appreciated
Hi Claudia, we're sorry about the problem with the discount code! Everything should be working fine now. Let us know if you have any further problems! Thank you. REN Skincare
Hi Caroline! I used to love the REN clay cleanser until I read the Beautipedia Review saying it was a terrible choice for acne-prone skin... Having suffered for 10+ years with acne - I was reluctant to ever use it again. (now acne free following a course of Ruoaccutane!!) Would love to know what David from REN would say about it - as I would happily buy it again if I'm convinced... Thanks Caroline for a brilliant overview! :)
Hello! David here! Well that's a disappointing review isn't it! I wonder if they have actually used the product? Personally, I feel the product is formulated with the exact opposite in mind, to gently, yet effectively combat the three causes of spots and acne (that's why it's called ClearCalm 3) and be a solution that offers something more nurturing than the standard (quite harsh) spot treatments out there. I have recommended this product to hundreds of my clients and zero bad feedback, in fact, quite the opposite. A quick look at the reviews on our big retailer websites puts the product firmly in 4.5/5 star reviews. We make products for our consumers with love, and those are the feedbacks I trust :) Any q's let me know!
Once again this was a brand I had never used until you brought it to my attention. I’ve always have two bottles of clay cleanser on standby and I did love the toner. Have the newer one but doesn’t have as much punch anymore. I do love the radiance glycolactic radiance renewal mask. Life saver it is. I’ve given the shower gels as presents but never actually used them. Will change that now! And must pick up the evercalm milk. Thanks for the brands overview.
Caroline, you are killing me and my bank account with these videos!!! I actually use the Embriollese (I mean who can actually spell that) Lait-creme concentre and it saved my skin a few weeks back. Never knew Ren did something similar without the mineral oil so of course I have ordered that with the loot. Loving the brand overviews
Seriously needed this video. Have been using differin. My skin is sensitive af. The differin has been incredibly useful but has my skin straight up raw, tender, and itchy. It’s so unpleasant. Have been using cerave products which are helping but I have felt like I need something with some extra oomf if it existed. I was thinking of trying some REN evercalm. You have good timing. Anything specific for my particular needs? I thought the mask sounded like it might be helpful
The mask is what I would recommend, we are the first to use White Mushroom extract to lower inflammation in the skin by cutting out pain messages to the brain. Also the texture is like a souffle and feels just incredible when you remove it.
I always wondered about REN (Sephora used to carry them). Thank you for this summary. Eva Chen’s d is named Ren - I think after her favorite skincare range.
I was given a sample of the Vita Mineral Emmolient Rescue Cream at my local Sephora and was hooked from first use. I bought the full size just to have it stolen from my bathroom by my mom. We are obsessed!!! It seems super thick, but feels so good on any irritated skin and works great under makeup. Mom and I will never be without it. And I’m so glad to see Caroline loves it too!
It's an unsung hero! It's my travel bag essential and when I used it overnight my skin is so even and glowy the next day. Really great for bad airconditioning and flights etc....
Started at m&s got some of my family to try the products , my dad was trying ren beauty shot it plumped his skin so much the ink spot he had when he was 15 popped off !! He was amazed it's on every photo of him !! Excellent product !! all ren products are though 😁
The website given in the description has great sets, which Caroline's code doesn't work for, but they have great value, however, they don't ship outside Europe. The US website doesn't have these sets and I didn't check if the code will work or not, but they have $12 delivery to Canada. If you're not in the EU, lookfantastik, echemist will be a better option. They also run some kind of offers quite often.
Does Ren offer any products geared towards those with oily/acne prone skin? Ive been using the gentle milk cleanser every morning for the past month and I'm in love with it. But I would like to see if they have more products geared towards my specific skin type. Thank you!
You could try out Clarimatte Range for oily/combo skin, or if you have the occasional breakout you could try the ClearCalm 3 Clay Cleanser (my all time favorite!) - top tip: sleep with a dab on the spot for reduced redness and faster healing.
I love the omega 3 serum oil, it's so rich in power but feels so light in the skin, is my night time treatment in winter time. Now, what are your thoughts on the bio-retinoid anti-ageing concentrate? I searchedaround for feedback and it seems a bit contruversial on their claims. Thank you!
Hi Caroline, I love these vids, but after watching Blue Planet about plastic, please could include whether all the packaging of a particular range is recyclable (and microbead free), along with vegan, cruelty free etc?
Caroline what is your opinion on Elemis, I know some people that love it and some really don't really trust what you say so would love to know where you stand on there products.
Mrs. Hirons, Firstly, I now want to purchase this entire line! Everything sounds divine! Second, would love to see the cheat sheets on video! I'm still learning and would find it helpful as a visual! Finally, I adore your makeup in this video! Can you post details? Many thanks!
The Ultra Comforting Rescue Mask instructions say to leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes and then remove with a damp cloth. Has anyone had any issues with leaving it on overnight or, as Caroline suggests, adding a second layer before bed and leaving on overnight?
David here! I love using this as an occlusive mask (something to lock in goodness) - so just use a tiny amount and press over your skincare routine. Most will absorb, and in the morning you'll find there is a slight film on the skin that will rinse clean. It won't colour your bedding and smells wonderful (relaxing chamomile oil). The skin is baby smoothe and even in the morning!
Cheat sheet videos would be amazing! Also - recurring theme, bumped into your son again! This time at the PVRIS gig, my boyfriend was literally like why don't you just go and tell him you love his mum. Third time's the charm, please warn him.
Hi Caroline, David, love this video! i have a question on ClearCalm 3 Clarifying Clay Cleanser - can i use it when i have dry and dehyrated skin, but i love a good strong cleanser (second cleanse) when i have gone thru a greasy day. i live in the tropical weather in the far south east, its crazily humid and dehydration is a huge problem. plus i have been using quite a bit of acid and retinol..I have been using the Rose Cleansing Gel and everclam gel from Ren thus far. cleansing milk generally dont work on me..thanks!
It's designed not to dry the skin out but yes it's very purifying. I'd use it on those 'greasy' days or high humidity days! I travel to Asia a lot for work and it's a lifesaver when you just want to feel 'extra clean' and not stripped.
One thing that's confusing to me. If i take my makeup off after work and then cleanse my skin, should i then cleanse again in the evening ( many hours later) ?
Caroline do you think you'll be doing Pixi brand overview? I'd love to hear your thoughts on some of their other skincare offerings other than Glow Tonic and your lovely Double Cleanse. They must do other great things right? :)
Yes to RUclips cheat sheets! Would love to see you go through the whole process and would also love to see one for sensitive/rosacea prone skin please ✨🙏🙏🙏✨
While I had read about REN on your blog, it was new to me until I purchased a mix bag for dry skin from Sephora and I believe it was the rescue moisturizer and I must say my skin loved it. It does just what you say and I think perfect for winter (I live in WNY-- very cold, lots of snow) or any time your skin needs love. Thanks for sharing! And thank you REN, for a great product(s)! Also wanted to add I too, enjoyed Embrolysis (sp?) and still have a little left but will not repurchase. REN is better overall.
Thank you ever so much for recommending omega 3 skin oil a couple of years ago, it saved my skin. There's no more irritation, redness, dry patches, it's all gone. You are the best, Caroline ❤️
Caroline, I am addicted to REN. It has entirely changed my skin. Thanks for the overview!
This was a lovely video, Caroline! The ClearCalm range was a GODSEND for my acne skin. So many acne ranges are quite harsh while this one was just a perfect balance for my skin.
So glad to see this, I love REN. Thank you. Was hoping you'd mention the bio-retinoid range, do you have any opinion on the retinoid oil in particular? How does it compare to the likes of Luna or the Pestle and Mortar Superstar one? X
Can’t get enough of these brand overviews Caroline, absolutely loving it x
OMG YES YES YES all the years to the RUclips visual demo cheat sheets!!! I can’t describe how much I love this idea and need them in my life!! Don’t know how I coped before discovering your genius! X
Thanks for this review on REN! This fits better in my budget, so it’s nice to know you believe in the brand. Would you mind reviewing Sunday Riley products in the future?
I love REN so much! The clearcalm cleanser is my holy grail, it the gentlest! But does it's job well :) I also love the glycolactic radiance mask as a first step in multimasking.
Yes to video cheat sheets! Yes to video on products you thought you had more of but Ava used up!!
Hi Caroline, so many comments so not sure you’ll see but I’ll give it a whirl: I went to a skin clinic last week to talk about treatments for hyper pigmentation they asked what I usually do to my skin I responded I use acids (lactic, glycolic) in the form of nip and fab pads and January labs skin essentials pm/am. They told me I shouldn’t use acids because I have darker skin and this makes Hy-pig worse, that acids are only useful on fairer tones. Is that the case? I follow your blog and recommendations so was bewildered to hear this! (Sorry for long comment) xx
Perfect canvas has done amazing things for my ever changing oily acne prone aging skin. Love it. Makeup stays fresh all day no oil break through at all it’s become a holy grail product almost over night
Preach it girl! It's one of the most exciting things we've ever done. Even my non-makeup friends rave about it!
REN Skincare shall I use it before or after SPF ?
Loved Ren for ages now, never had a bad experience with their skincare :) so nice to see this brand on your channel
Caroline, you know your readers/viewers so well! I would love to see your cheat sheets into actions, especially your massage techniques! I can't wait to see more of your energy, great and sincere advices!

Hello, do you think the serum of the same name would be a good Retinoid buy?
Yes! RUclips cheat sheets. Love to you from Texas.
Caroline, in case I never mentioned, you ROCK! xxxxx
Is it me or Caroline is getting more beautiful, glowing, healthier each time 😉 you look amazing...
Agreed. I was thinking the same, she's a beauty!
Caroline your eye makeup is so good - I love this look on you. Your eyes look huge!
YES TO VISUAL CHEAT SHEETS
I love the flash hydro boost
Visual versions of your cheat sheets is a genius idea!!! Tomorrow I'm off to buy the emollient rescue cream for my dry skin from roaccutane!
Thanks for this video! REN was my first entry into cleansing balms and clean products. I use that flash hydroboost everyday I have to be at work all day, and the rose shower gel is so amazing. Now I want to try the omega oil.
Sweet Baby Jesus! that insert you did of the close up was BRILLIANT. Now do that to all the products you mention in your future videos. I promise you getting up each time was giving me a head spin. Love your vids, very informative and dont stop the rants i love them also xox
I loved the Ever Calm as it helped heal a random dermatitis my face. What would you recommend for anti-aging/wrinkles etc?
Yes to cheat sheets please Caroline. Also Ren looks great for me I'm 59 dry sensitive lined saggy skin lol possibly not helped by yoyo dieting over the years. Ive just started tretinoin which I have purchased from abroad poor us in the UK xx
Caroline, as much as I appreciate it, but you're killing me with all those offers 😂 I wish I could buy everything every time!!
Yes, yes, yes ... visual cheat sheets. Already looking forward to them.
BTW: You are looking gorgeous!
Flash 1 Minute Facial and Glycolactic Radiance Renewal Mask are two more mentions I love! I have the Anti Pollution mist too!
I’m really looking forward to your retinol and buffer cream video! I have acne prone combination sensitive skin. It easily get spots but also get pissed off and I get dry and develop eczema around my mouth. If treat the dryness I get blackheads and clogged pores but if i treat the spots my face gets flakey. I think I could use some help with tolerating differin!
Also I need a serum (or something) to help me get rid of the pigmentation from my old spots. Any advice from anyone would be helpful! Thanks!
Yes please, the visual cheat sheets would be a great series.
I adore your makeup today and that dewy face!!Love Ren..use the Neroli/grapefruit and their Rose Otto bath oil....
Thank you Caroline! Are you able to do your nighttime routine please? layering of products. Thank you.
Yes please to cheat sheets. Love Ren and been waiting for this vid. Vita Mineral Emollient Rescue Cream has been my go-to for years and I haven’t found any other moisturiser that beats it. Thank you for confirming I’m onto a winner :) xx

No mention of their Glycolactic Radiance Renewal Mask?.. 😳 I love this product - I’m going to repurchase it over and over again.
Absolutely love your make up here. Really suits you and very pretty! Thanks for the brand overview 😘
Thank you so much Caroline! I had already purchased the ClearCalm cleanser based on your recommendation and the corresponding moisturizer. Today I purchased the Wake Wonderful Night-Time Facial and Perfect Canvas thanks to your amazing offer and review!

Caroline, you beautiful lady THANK YOU FOR THE CUTAWAYS! And obviously YES ON THE VIDEO CHEAT SHEETS!

The ad before the video was for a cleansing brush. I was like oh no Caroline is having NONE OF THIS.
-Thinking about buying a REN cleanser, as the one I'm using is running out.
-Caroline's video goes up.
-Yes.
-Oh yes.
rose Otto i used just after having my baby - so relaxing and comforting. My new favourites is their beauty shot (two they have) one for face and one for eyes

Sadly we sold out - but I've just asked supply and they said it will available again on Friday, maybe even before. Please accept our apologies!

Thank you Caroline and Ren! I used the code and can't wait to get my products. Thank you again Caroline for sharing your expertise with us.
I have always adored the REN Evercalm day cream and really want to try something more from the line. Can you tell me the purpose of denatured alcohol (Wake Wonderful) and fragrance (perfect canvas) listed in some of the products? Thank you...I look forward to trying more.
Mandy!!! My hubby and I have watched you for a year and a half and love you! I feel like I have a mini Bible study every time I watch your videos! Love the Bible verse at the beginning of your videos! Hope that you are having a great Sunday!

Hi Claudia, we're sorry about the problem with the discount code! Everything should be working fine now. Let us know if you have any further problems! Thank you. REN Skincare
REN Skincare - thank you very much for getting back to me - code worked and order has been placed 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hi Caroline!
I used to love the REN clay cleanser until I read the Beautipedia Review saying it was a terrible choice for acne-prone skin... Having suffered for 10+ years with acne - I was reluctant to ever use it again. (now acne free following a course of Ruoaccutane!!)
Would love to know what David from REN would say about it - as I would happily buy it again if I'm convinced... Thanks Caroline for a brilliant overview! :)
Hello! David here! Well that's a disappointing review isn't it! I wonder if they have actually used the product? Personally, I feel the product is formulated with the exact opposite in mind, to gently, yet effectively combat the three causes of spots and acne (that's why it's called ClearCalm 3) and be a solution that offers something more nurturing than the standard (quite harsh) spot treatments out there. I have recommended this product to hundreds of my clients and zero bad feedback, in fact, quite the opposite. A quick look at the reviews on our big retailer websites puts the product firmly in 4.5/5 star reviews. We make products for our consumers with love, and those are the feedbacks I trust :) Any q's let me know!
Thanks so much David for taking the time to reply! It's back on my list to buy - the takeaway I guess is to trust your skin (and not a review!).
:)
Once again this was a brand I had never used until you brought it to my attention. I’ve always have two bottles of clay cleanser on standby and I did love the toner. Have the newer one but doesn’t have as much punch anymore. I do love the radiance glycolactic radiance renewal mask. Life saver it is. I’ve given the shower gels as presents but never actually used them. Will change that now! And must pick up the evercalm milk. Thanks for the brands overview.
Caroline, you are killing me and my bank account with these videos!!! I actually use the Embriollese (I mean who can actually spell that) Lait-creme concentre and it saved my skin a few weeks back. Never knew Ren did something similar without the mineral oil so of course I have ordered that with the loot. Loving the brand overviews
Hi Caroline! I would love to see visual versions of your cheat sheets. Thank you for all the content recently.
Seriously needed this video. Have been using differin. My skin is sensitive af. The differin has been incredibly useful but has my skin straight up raw, tender, and itchy. It’s so unpleasant. Have been using cerave products which are helping but I have felt like I need something with some extra oomf if it existed. I was thinking of trying some REN evercalm. You have good timing. Anything specific for my particular needs? I thought the mask sounded like it might be helpful
The mask is what I would recommend, we are the first to use White Mushroom extract to lower inflammation in the skin by cutting out pain messages to the brain. Also the texture is like a souffle and feels just incredible when you remove it.
I always wondered about REN (Sephora used to carry them). Thank you for this summary. Eva Chen’s d is named Ren - I think after her favorite skincare range.
The Ren ultra comforting rescue mask is fabulous for after my skin pen procedure and after peels. I highly recommend it.
I was given a sample of the Vita Mineral Emmolient Rescue Cream at my local Sephora and was hooked from first use. I bought the full size just to have it stolen from my bathroom by my mom. We are obsessed!!! It seems super thick, but feels so good on any irritated skin and works great under makeup. Mom and I will never be without it. And I’m so glad to see Caroline loves it too!
It's an unsung hero! It's my travel bag essential and when I used it overnight my skin is so even and glowy the next day. Really great for bad airconditioning and flights etc....
Started at m&s got some of my family to try the products , my dad was trying ren beauty shot it plumped his skin so much the ink spot he had when he was 15 popped off !! He was amazed it's on every photo of him !! Excellent product !! all ren products are though 😁
On my need to try list! Love the sound of the primer and the flash hydra boost. Also hell yes to the cheat sheets!
The website given in the description has great sets, which Caroline's code doesn't work for, but they have great value, however, they don't ship outside Europe. The US website doesn't have these sets and I didn't check if the code will work or not, but they have $12 delivery to Canada. If you're not in the EU, lookfantastik, echemist will be a better option. They also run some kind of offers quite often.
Yes to RUclips cheat sheets please!!
Ren means clean in Swedish, and Norwegian, and Danish :)
Does Ren offer any products geared towards those with oily/acne prone skin? Ive been using the gentle milk cleanser every morning for the past month and I'm in love with it. But I would like to see if they have more products geared towards my specific skin type. Thank you!
You could try out Clarimatte Range for oily/combo skin, or if you have the occasional breakout you could try the ClearCalm 3 Clay Cleanser (my all time favorite!) - top tip: sleep with a dab on the spot for reduced redness and faster healing.
Amazing, thanks!!
YASSSS CAROLINE I HAVE BEEN HANGING OUT FOR THIS!!!!
I love the omega 3 serum oil, it's so rich in power but feels so light in the skin, is my night time treatment in winter time. Now, what are your thoughts on the bio-retinoid anti-ageing concentrate? I searchedaround for feedback and it seems a bit contruversial on their claims. Thank you!
yes to the cheat sheet video!
Yay had the Ren perfect canvas in my cart forever (Sephora Canada) and just checked it out! Excited to try it!!!
YES to the cheat sheets on youtube!
Hi Caroline, I love these vids, but after watching Blue Planet about plastic, please could include whether all the packaging of a particular range is recyclable (and microbead free), along with vegan, cruelty free etc?
Caroline what is your opinion on Elemis, I know some people that love it and some really don't really trust what you say so would love to know where you stand on there products.
Mrs. Hirons, Firstly, I now want to purchase this entire line! Everything sounds divine! Second, would love to see the cheat sheets on video! I'm still learning and would find it helpful as a visual! Finally, I adore your makeup in this video! Can you post details? Many thanks!
Gentle cleansing milk is my favourite cleanser of all time. Clarify clay is a close second though
The Ultra Comforting Rescue Mask instructions say to leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes and then remove with a damp cloth. Has anyone had any issues with leaving it on overnight or, as Caroline suggests, adding a second layer before bed and leaving on overnight?
David here! I love using this as an occlusive mask (something to lock in goodness) - so just use a tiny amount and press over your skincare routine. Most will absorb, and in the morning you'll find there is a slight film on the skin that will rinse clean. It won't colour your bedding and smells wonderful (relaxing chamomile oil). The skin is baby smoothe and even in the morning!
Cheat sheet videos would be amazing!
Also - recurring theme, bumped into your son again! This time at the PVRIS gig, my boyfriend was literally like why don't you just go and tell him you love his mum. Third time's the charm, please warn him.
Hi Caroline, David, love this video! i have a question on ClearCalm 3 Clarifying Clay Cleanser - can i use it when i have dry and dehyrated skin, but i love a good strong cleanser (second cleanse) when i have gone thru a greasy day. i live in the tropical weather in the far south east, its crazily humid and dehydration is a huge problem. plus i have been using quite a bit of acid and retinol..I have been using the Rose Cleansing Gel and everclam gel from Ren thus far. cleansing milk generally dont work on me..thanks!
It's designed not to dry the skin out but yes it's very purifying. I'd use it on those 'greasy' days or high humidity days! I travel to Asia a lot for work and it's a lifesaver when you just want to feel 'extra clean' and not stripped.
Great thanks! gona try that out!
Hi Caroline, definitely do some cheat sheet videos, excellent idea! xxx
One thing that's confusing to me. If i take my makeup off after work and then cleanse my skin, should i then cleanse again in the evening ( many hours later) ?
tourni no you don’t unless you want to apply a different skincare product to reap the benefits & you didn’t put it on earlier.
LOVING these brand overviews! Perfect for a skincare novice xxx
Caroline do you think you'll be doing Pixi brand overview? I'd love to hear your thoughts on some of their other skincare offerings other than Glow Tonic and your lovely Double Cleanse. They must do other great things right? :)
I love the milky mist by pixi!
Yes to RUclips cheat sheets! Would love to see you go through the whole process and would also love to see one for sensitive/rosacea prone skin please ✨🙏🙏🙏✨
Yes to the cheat sheet and would love a video on some Korean brands/products 😘😘
While I had read about REN on your blog, it was new to me until I purchased a mix bag for dry skin from Sephora and I believe it was the rescue moisturizer and I must say my skin loved it. It does just what you say and I think perfect for winter (I live in WNY-- very cold, lots of snow) or any time your skin needs love. Thanks for sharing! And thank you REN, for a great product(s)! Also wanted to add I too, enjoyed Embrolysis (sp?) and still have a little left but will not repurchase. REN is better overall.
Great idea to do videos on the cheet sheets, sometimes dont always understand how to use or where to put in routine, or what cant be use with.
Do you use the FLASH HYDRA-BOOST BEFORE OR AFTER YOUR ACID TONE? And then how long must you wait before you can start layering other products? Thx!!!
After, and go straight in.
