Any users of REN products out there?

Hi all
I really need to sort my sensitive/red skin out Sadand am thinking of "investing" in various products. I have heard a lot of good things about REN skincare but want to be sure before I spend the best part of 100 quid. I have tried other "good" products before and they just haven´t suited me so I am hoping not to make the same mistake again.
Any opinions would be greatly received!

Yes- what do you want to know?

I use quite a few of their things but recently read reviews on www.beautypedia.com

They got a bit of a dissing, TBH though the products I use- the frankinsence night cream and the Omega repair serum came out well.

I don't rate their cleansers above much cheaper products- such as Simple, Boots No 7 or L'oreal which I use.

If you are senstive which I am it's trial and error but I think I rate clinique over REN- they do lovely moisturisers ( not the horrible yellow stuff) including a few that calm redness.

Yes it's nice but not that great for the price. Dr haushaka is better IMO. Or get some Rosa Mosqueta oil. That's the only moisturiser that helps my v sensitive red skin.

I really like Ren but my sister has Roseacea and finds there are too many ingredients in them and that they make her flare up. She like me is a fan of the new Mama Mio skincare which is pared down - with the Mighty Moisture moisturiser you don't need night cream, serums, primer, that sort of thing, it's just the one cream all the time.

I also prefer Dr Haushka to REN, although I do like Ren's frankincense night cream. What works best for me though is Darphin's Intral range, especially the Intral Redness Relief serum.
