What are your opinions on ren skincare. I have ordered a sample pack to try.
I would like to know what your opinions of the following products are:
Rose Centifolia facial wash
Jojoba microbead purifying facial scrub
multi mineral detox mask
F10 Enzymatic skin smoothing mask
Jiaogulan cell energising facial mask
Rose complex moisturiser
Frankincense and boswellia night cream
Thanks  |

Sorry, I haven't tried any of those, I'm afraid.
Although I love the bath products, I've only ever used one of the facial items - the Omega 3 Serum. That was lovely on my dry skin. It didn't give a dramatic effect, but made my skin feel and look nice and smooth, with a bit of a glow. |

i have the jojoba scrub and quite like it - definitely not harsh, not drying. i haven't used it long enough yet to tell about reduced blackheads, but it hasn't appeared to make the problem worse  |

| I also thought the products that I sampled/tried were fairly average & quite pricey. Although some people think the products are amazing, so I guess it varies with everyone. |

Well my kit turned up this morning and can't wait to try everything. I have tried the rose face wash. I did not get much lather with this but i didn't use much as it is only a sample size and i want to be able to use it more than once. It had a lovely smell though and did not make my skin oily or dry.
I then used the rose moisturiser. This again has a lovely smell. The texture seemed a little thicker then what i normally use so i warmed it between my hands first. A little went quite a long way. It took longer then my normal moisturiser to sink in but it has left my skin very soft, with a matte effect and a slight glow to it. So far i am impressed. I will try the frankincense cream tonight and maybe the omega serum but i don't know whether i am supposed to use the serum before the cream or after. Will have to try and find out from the website.
I will let you know what i think to these products.
Thanks for your opinions |

I made the mistake of buying the full size Rose face wash without trying a sample. I thought it smelled nice, and felt very good on my skin (I have problems with cleansers drying out my skin), but it made me break out very badly after a couple of weeks - really I'd never broken out that badly before.
I still continued to use it for a little while after that, thinking perhaps that my breakout was due to something else, but it was definitely the cleanser.
My brother also had a similar problem. He started using it when he noticed it sitting unused on the bathroom counter, and he also really liked it at first because it softened his skin and made shaving easier for him. My brother normally has absolutely perfect skin (much nicer than mine  ), small pores, even texture, no zits, etc, but a couple weeks later, he also had huge zits all over his face! I remember my mom asking him what he was doing different - he was like "I don't know" - that's when I asked him if he was using my REN cleanser. The zits went away pretty quickly for both of us after we stopped using the cleanser, though.
Anyway, that's just a warning to be careful with it! For me, it was a big waste of money. Oh, and the Rose Cleanser does not lather much at all - even if you use a lot. |

| Ok I used the omega serum and the frankincense cream last night and this morning my skin looks horrible. My pores seem bigger and my skin looks dry and almost wrinkly which is not good especially since i am 19. I really thought that this range would suit me. I am still tempted to try the masks but cannot get them in sample sizes and don't want to spend 40 pounds if they give the same results as the other products. I am still not to sure what i think of the rose moisturiser as i have only used it once will have to try it again. |

Have tried the Rose facial wash, Jojoba facial scrub, mineral detox mask, rose moisturiser and the Frankincense night cream. Love all their products and would recommend them. |

I saw that they have bought out some new products.
Revivo-lift H11 Intensive Night Serum
Phyto-Dynamic Instant Lifting Facial Gel
Revivo-lift Radiant Day Cream
The descriptions all sound really nice and interesting too. Though I've never been that impressed with any of the Ren Facial Products in the past, except for the Frankinsence Night Cream, although it started to make me break out on my second tube. |

I had the same problems with the omega serum, which was the one product I really wanted to try seeing as it was so popular at the time and I read in so many magazines that a lot celebs use it & love it! But instead my skin looked horrible  Btw have you tried Dr Hauschka's masks? I find them to be very good especially if you are after natural skincare.

I am using the Rose face wash and Rose complex moisturizer. I absolutely love the smell! The face wash is not meant to be a foam type cleanser, more like a gel, and is very gentle on my skin. The moisturizer is a bit think, took me almost 30 pumps to get the product out the first time; however, so far, it's the ONLy moisturizer that lasts all night on my dehydrated skin. When I wake up my skin is smooth, supple and moist, not oily.
I am not acne prone, have no acne and I love REN products because they don't contain any petroleum-based ingredients, silicones, PEGs, artificial fragrances, etc. However, even though the Rose line is for 'normal' skin, I believe it could be a little too emollient for people with oily skin. You only use a very small amount and it goes a long way. I love the concept and the smell of this line and will continue to purchase! |

I just read this thread and now I wonder if I should try this line or not....I love what I have, but after reading that the omega oil is good on the net, I had to search here for reviews.
Does anyone have any updates on this line? |

| i've used the cleanser and it's nothing special..the body cream is not bad though; it smells good but for the same price, there are probably many other choices (i.e. l'occitane, vichy...) |

| I love the Omega oil - when I use it I wake up with glowing skin. I also love the Seaweed and Sage shower gel - I use it just about every day, not as impressed with the body lotions. The Guerande Salt Exfoliating Body Balm is excellent. The Monoi rinse and Monoi oil are great. I haven't tried any of the cleansers or moisturizers. I have tried the Jiaogulan Revitalising Facial Mask which didn't impress me when I washed it off, but the day after I used it my skin looked great. I have a sample of the Glycolactic Skin Renewal Peel Mask that I got from Sephora but I haven't used it yet. |

When do you use the REN omega oil? At night or morning? |

I have tried a couple of REN products, and although they were OK, they were not worth the price. I quite liked the Calendula cleanser for sensitive skin and the Jojoba facial peeling, but didn't care for the Frankincence and Boswellia Cerrata night cream, which made me sneeze until I washed it off. It was also way too light for my dry skin.  |

I believe those with oily skin could use the Omega oil with no problem. |
