REN Bio Retinoid Anti-Ageing Concentrate

This is the brand new anti-ageing serum from REN Bio Retinoid Anti-Ageing Concentrate

This serum is designed to smooth wrinkles as well as brighten the skin and does exactly this but without artificial retinols as REN derives their high tech formulas from nature. Often when you think of plant extracts, it can conjure up ideas of quite low grade skincare products that do pretty much bugger all, but this really isn’t the case with REN.

Even though I very recently celebrated my 21st Birthday, I’ve not started with lines and wrinkles just yet, but I do feel that my skin can be very dehydrated and uneven in skin tone from time to time. After using this serum for 2 nights, that’s right, two nights! I’ve seen dramatic effects. My skin feels softer and looks visibly smoother. It has actually reduced a couple of little spots I had going on, presumably due to the Vitamin A and Pro Vitamin A.

So the ingredients, Vitamin A is used commonly in treating wrinkles as well as acne and psoriasis, it unclogs pores and promotes the production of elastin and collagen, whilst increasing skin cell turnover. It’s quite magical. Pro Vitamin A also features in this product; this is a set of base ingredients that gets the skin to create it’s own Vitamin A, ooooh! Vitamin E protects against environmental damage (smoke, fumes, general air crap). Finally the product is artificial fragrance free which makes me smile, but it does have a stunning natural fragrance, which to me smells like berries (possibly blackcurrants) and tea!

I have to say that this product is beautiful. Just put 5 drops into the palm of your hand, warm, and then pat into the skin, it takes only a few seconds to soak in. I found it relaxing to use a little more and massage in, but this takes a little longer and isn’t really necessary, but I enjoy it.
