Oh no: REN skincare are closing! What alternatives do you recommend?

[roalddahl]

I've just had an email from REN skincare to say they will cease trading at the end of July. I am in shock. I love their products! I use:
Daily AHA Tonic
Evercalm global protection cream
Glow and protect vitamin C serum
Glycol lactic mask
Bio retinoid youth concentrate oil
Overnight glow dark spot night cream

Any recommendations for alternatives very gratefully received.

I've used Clinique, Clarins, Liz Earle and La Roche Posay over the years but I like none as much as REN.

Oh no! I love the AHA Tonic. It always happens when I love something 🙄

I love soooo much! I feel bereft!

I Love the Moroccan rose bath oil. Just ordered two at half price. There are other bargains !

Quidco are giving 4% cashback on any purchase.

Omg. I love these products, such a shame

Ah, that's why I couldn't order the pillow spray from M&S. I've liked a few of their products over the years. Always a treat, due to their prices. What a shame.

Lots of bargains through Holland and Barrett too. But I will miss them so much when my stocks run out.

Have been looking at Erborian….

Medik8

Oh no, I love REN too. The Evercalm cleanser is the nicest cream cleanser I've found. Balance Me do an unscented pre-and probiotic cleanser that's similar in texture, though unscented (not on your list though, sorry). Used to love the REN balm cleanser in the blue tube too.

I alternate the Evercalm moisturiser with the Balance Me collagen moisturiser and the Caudalie Resveratrol Lift range (I'm fickle 😂).

Haven't yet got over the fact that Naturisimo has been taken over and their new owner has a much smaller range.

MediK8 Press and Glow toner is a good alternative also Glow Recipe Watermelon toner.

I’ve not come across Medik8, thanks for the recommendations. Will take a look.

No way! I love the Glyco lactic mask too. I had no idea they're folding. What a shame.

Paula's choice do an AHA toner (although I use their BHA one) they've got lots of products i like so totally worth a look

Try Balance Me I find their range awesome……used to use Ren a while back but prefer more natural skincare nowadays.

I'm still 'dealing' witht he loss of Naturisimo too......

Thank you, will take a look.

Have you looked at dermalogica products I’ve been using them for 6 months and have seen such an improvement with my skin

I use Eve Lom cleanser and moisturizer. My ageing skin glows after using.

I love Balance Me and I've recently discovered Pai.

I get certain things from sainburys and others online, here goes my routine.
Morning:
Using water to wash your face,
Sebamed clear face gel,
La Roche Posay spf on my face
Cicaplast
Evening:
LRP moisturizer,
Tretinoin (0.1) from skinorac
Sebamed clear facial gel

I was in tk max today and picked up a load of Ren stuff heavily discounted. With the closure I suspect there will be lots more in the weeks ahead. I love Ren so I'm stocking up!

Thanks for the info and ideas on alternatives.

Any good alternative suggestions for the Rose body oil? I have horribly dry skin and this stops my legs from turning scaly. I’ve stocked up with a couple of bottles but I’ll need an alternative in the next few months. I don’t like creams - oil seems to work much better for me.

Rodan and fields body moisturiser is good which you may try
