So, I got a bit carried away in Space NK this evening with the 20% off. Bought a REN moisturiser knowing nothing about the brand.

Anyone else tried REN?

I like it. The frankincense night serum is amazing.

Thank you for all replies.

Will most definitely enjoy my spree.

Country (Ireland) has now officialy gone down the tubes apparently so all that's left for us is to look well moisturised!

Lovely range, I really like high altitude lavender shower gel gorgeous. I have a soft spot for it as bought quite a lot of REN stuff online in early stages of labour just to distract myself from the contractions, and my DS has just turned three, never been able to afford it since.

Cobbler - I found after a couple of weeks my skin was 'moister' and fresher looking. Nothing incredibly dramatic - wouldn't say it took years off! Love the smell as well.

I am addicted to Ren as they work, and don't irritate my skin. Fabulous stuff.

I use quite a lot of Ren- shower gel, (Rose) , frankinsence serum, Omega 3 serum,handcream lip salve, and have tried moisturisers. I find the mositurisers a bit "thin" but love the other stuff. have also used their cleansers which are lovely but a bit expensive.

I have the REN moisturiser for sensitive skin, it is the best I have had.

Most moisturisers have a lot of silicone (ie plastic really) in them. This makes your skin LOOK smooth, as the silicon fills up the pores, but it does not actually DO anything for your skin longterm. Also, it made me sweaty faced sometimes. The plastic-silicone is called Di-methicone, or cyclomethicone, and is found in almost ALL moisturisers apart from REN.

My REN moisturiser is fab, it moisturises but does not leave me shiny faced.

You have chosen well Grin

PS All REN products are nice, and contain no nasties.

If you want soft and smooth hair, the REN conditioner (hard to find) is the most fab conditioner. Again, most conditioners have lots of silicone in, which makes the hair very smooth and manageable, but just because it covers eeh hair with a layer of silicon.

The REN conditioner is very creamy and made with nice oils, but does not weigh hair down too much.

I have long straight hair, and it makes it very healthy looking. Friend says I have shampoo add hair! Thanks to lack of silicon and chemicals, you do not get the "build-up" you get with other hair products, which leaves hair looking dull.

Maybe I should ask to be the REN spokeswoman!!!
