Yes I’m pleased with today’s Ren offering but a bit confused at the instruction to put it over make up? I can’t see how this would work without it becoming a mess - can anyone who tries it please enlighten me?

Lambzig · 17/12/2017 10:24

If anyone would like the perfume (and last years) let me know. I haven’t even sprayed them. Happy to send anyway but would love a swap for any skincare except the Ren.

bagelbaby · 17/12/2017 10:25

I HAD missed the mascara! Thankful for this thread.

Slightly disappointed that my REM tube already seemed half empty when I tried to squeeze some out Confused

sluj · 17/12/2017 11:20

REN obviously!

runwalkrun · 17/12/2017 11:34

Ugh. Hate today's.
I find these firming/lifting/sculpting gels and creams incredibly drying.Even after putting moisturiser on top.

I just want a face cream that sinks in quickly, doesn't irritate and does the job

And I know this is petty but I wouldn't buy it for the name alone.

Blerg · 17/12/2017 12:01

I’m not sure I understand today’s. What do I do with it, and would does it do?

FridgeCut · 17/12/2017 12:10

I’ve stuck it on under my foundation like I would clarins beauty flash balm. I’m 35 and it has helped with my fine lines a bit. I’ve attached a bad photo. I’m semi impressed.

Oops, I opened the wrong one! So glad I didn't blurt out what it was Blush

happypoobum · 17/12/2017 13:00

I am getting so confuzzled with all the products.

Can anyone tell me which of the masks will do a Footner on my face?

I know it's not the Filorga as have used that and it was nice but totally non scary.

I will use the REN. It has very good reviews online, however, am sticking to using one product at a time so I can pinpoint which one (if any) is actually leading to any improvement in my fifty something face.

Although I am old my skin is not at all dry and I have few wrinkles. What I do have are sensational eye bags and dark circles, and some very attractive broken thread veins on my nose.

I think I am turning into my father.

It's the M&S cream in the white tube. I think it says 'Radiance'

WindyWednesday · 17/12/2017 13:58

The M&S one is a bit pants.

PeppersTheCat · 17/12/2017 14:19

I’m not sure I understand today’s. What do I do with it, and would does it do?

Ditto. Can anyone advise?

YolandasFridge · 17/12/2017 14:31

Face footner is the M&S peel that dissolved my face into grey crumbs and was flippin amazing
Doesn't work on everyone though so fingers crossed you are a lucky one!

Had the Ren shot thing ( what's the problem with the name not sure I know what you mean?) in last years and was underwhelmed , tips anyone? Is it the same idea as the rodial dragons bood?

Trills · 17/12/2017 14:40

I like REN as a brand but I am unsure precisely what I would do with this

A gel-serum that instantly firms, lifts and plumps the skin to leave it looking dramatically smoother, tighter and more youthful.

Seems similar to the dragons blood?
Dragon’s blood sculpting gel is an innovative sculpting gel that helps to define facial contours and add volume to sagging skin.

The face Footner could have been dissolving the skin in my finger tips.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 17/12/2017 15:26

Yay I love this, it's my favourite serum.
I use it in the morning under my moisturiser.
Ooh Fridge you look beautiful!

Trills · 17/12/2017 15:28

So you put it all over your face first thing, then you put on moisturiser, then your makeup?

And you can tell that it is working because your face looks.....?

(fill in the blank please so we all know what we're trying to achieve :o )

runwalkrun · 17/12/2017 15:28

Yolande
It's the Stay Young & Beautiful bit I don't like.

I think it gives the wrong message out.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 17/12/2017 15:33

Less creased i.e. keeps that pesky start of a line on my forehead from reappearing.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 17/12/2017 16:01

Serums are really lets stretch excellently results under moisturiser stuff!

happypoobum · 17/12/2017 16:02

Ha ha! My dad died in 2012 but was a lifelong alcoholic so I always get quite worried when I see his face staring back at me in the mirror.
