Seven days certainly go by fast, so here we are, what are our REN Skincare results?
First impression, my skin feels tighter, more cared for. I notice firmness around the major areas of the face~ forehead, lifted cheeks, related jaw line, neck area. I can tell subtle improvements with more even skin tone and brightness, with greater definition and tightening.
Hyaluronic Acid, which boosts water in your cells to optimize levels, plumping form within
Peptides, which allow the transport and circulation of water throughout the skin
Xylitol, which promotes the capturing of water form the environment
Ceramides, fatty acids and phospholipids, which create the ultimate barrier against water loss
Yes, we all age, and the first symptom of aging is loss of hydration. Beauty comes from within as they say, and REN gets below the surface for continued long term prevention of water loss and the inevitable fine lines and wrinkles.
Slow that process!
Stick with the program!
Seven days, no moisturizer, no makeup except for eyes and lip color. ONLY the Flash Hydro-Boost!
Here are my results~
Front Face
before after
Side Angle
before after
Overall general impression? My entire face looks lifted! Just as REN Flash Hydro-Boost does, it acts as a mask using hydration and quality ingredients as its formula for success.
Be beauty fit with this REN Clean Skincare plumping emulsion, that stays with you! So effective, so pure and natural, you will want to apply this product every day, jump in with this "splashmask!'
The Flash Hydro-Boost is used alone or under your skincare and makeup, you decide!
It is engineered to give you instant smoothing, hydration, and 'plumping' of the skin! *
Flash Hydro-Boost works as a water-activated hydration treatment that
prevents the ageing effects of dehydration.
This product uniquely enhances
the skin’s ability to capture, circulate and lock in moisture.
* Through these simple hydration effects, a multitude of skin issues can be exacerbated, as in minimizing crepe-like skin texture, puffiness and ensuing shadows, skin sag due to water loss. Ugh! Help!!
Flash Hydro-Boost has thebeneficial effects of a mask without the time and hassle :)
Paraben free, of course!
Here is how to apply, three easy steps~
So easy!
NOW, let me challenge YOU!
THE 7 DAY CHALLENGE!
Okay, let's do this!
Here are my beforeshots, DAY 1 (no makeup except for eyes and lip color)
Below are my after shots, Day 1, after 1 minute of using the Flash Hydro-Boost
front face
side angle
My skin definitely felt tighter and enriched, I would say the neck area around the jaw line is better, my cheeks are tighter too, but I still need work around the eye area.
Let's look for that improvement in the next 7 days.
Anyone with me?
Here's the product Flash Hydro-Boost at REN Clean Skincare~
Hit there! We are at the final 4th week with our REN Skincare Pure Glow Trio road test with our skincare enthusiast, Tracy!

Can you see it? Tracy's skin has a glow to it, the lines are less noticeable since her skin cells have been sloughed away to reveal her natural beauty. Read on...
Profile
Tracy's skin looks refined, and as a result shows tightening qualities as well. REN Skincare with its Pure Glow Trio shows us the synergistic value of effective skincare~ you help one area (dry, dull skin) and in turn another area is helped (skin that needs elasticity) is improved as well!
Wow!!!
And our beauty Tracy, drum roll please~
Front Face
You can see the radiance glowing from Tracy, definitely around the forehead, cheeks and chin areas. Tracy really liked the cleanser the best, a tough skincare product to find, and will purchase all these radiance products when her supply runs low.
And, speaking of which, this offer of $39 only lasts through Thursday April 21st, then the Trio returns to the $79, still a great price!
Nota bene~ I have been doing more research on skincare and the cancer connection, and must tell you that everything we put on our bodies and ingest in our mouths is all part and parcel of our personal state of health. And there are cumulative effects as well. Build up happens in our bodies. The good news is that even if you did not have the knowledge you have now, it is not too late. You can even reverse bad effects from over the years with the proper skincare, health habits and nutrition.
REN Clean Skincare is incredibly researched, without the toxins that you can find in other skincare products, not even any trace amounts here.
I am citing again the ingredients~
REN's 'Clean Stamp' shows what ingredients "we don’t use in our products."
The full list of ingredients we will not use is as follows:
REN
products are free from synthetic fragrance, pore-blocking
petrochemicals, sulfate detergents, silicones, synthetic colours, animal
ingredients and parabens. In addition, REN products do not contain
potential irritants including: glycols and diglycols (such as propylene
glycol), PEG's, PPGs, urea, D.E.A, T.E.A, PABA and other synthetic

amines, alkanolamines, synthetic AHAs/BHAs, polyacrylamide, metacrylate,
elastomer, poloxamer, styrene, vinyl, polyquaternium, synthetic
chelating agents, nylon, nitriles, nitrates, nitrosamine releasers,
bromates, fluor, aluminum and alumina.
The message here? Be good to yourself! Be healthy!

And meanwhile, we will check in with her during week 2, please join us!! So excited!
Meet Tracy~
This is the plan~
Here are some stills of Tracy and her beauty concerns~
Dry, dull, flaking skinacross the forehead and cheeks
The neck area and marionette lines around the mouth-
Let's see if we can tighten under the chin
1. CLEANSE
Use the Hydrating Cleanser first! Finding a great cleanser is a tough call. Tracy has tried many, let's see how she finds the REN cleanser!
the data on the cleanser-
Rosa Centifolia No. 1 Purity Cleansing Balm 100ml A rose infused cleansing balm that gently yet thoroughly melts away dirt and makeup including waterproof mascara.
2. POWER PEEL
Once a week is best, especially for sensitive, dry skin like Tracy's.
the data on the peel-
Glycol Lactic Radiance Renewal Mask 20ml A 10-minute peel mask that renews the complexion, dramatically improves skin tone and texture, minimizes pores, and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. A cocktail of four AHAs (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) including glycolic acid from pinneapple, lactic acid from passion fruit, citric acid from lemon, and
tartaric acid from grape all create multi action exfoliation to brighten and
renew skin, instantly.
3. RADIANCE BOOSTER
Tracy will apply the REN Radiance Booster every 3 days after cleansing.As directed, Tracy first applies the booster like a mask, gently distributing evenly on the face, waiting one minute, then rinsing with water, which activates the vitamin C!
The result here is like an intense serum without the heavy laying of product, clean and effective! You can next apply sunscreen or your favorite moisturizer, maybe a light foundation or a powder blush, whatever your fancy!
the data on the booster-
Flash Rinse 1 Minute Facial 40ml A 1-minute mask that firms, tones, and smooths the skin with potent, water-activated vitamin C. Turn a dull complexion bright, instantly.
Here is more data we all want to know from the REN Skincare website, so informative!

NEW! Podcast with your publisher! Introducing Nerium age defying skincare. This international skincare company has developed a breakthrough skincare product, Nerium AD. Harness the power of Nerium's primary ingredients: Nerium oleander and Aloe barbadensis plants. The Background~ Nerium's scientists have developed a breakthrough anti-aging process NBio-PL2, to derive the patented NAE-8 extract from the oleander and aloe plants. This extract is preservative free, paraben free, and also free of the following ingredients~ propylene glycol, sulfates, gluten, mineral oil, DEA, phthalates, synthetic fragrance, PABA, and synthetic color. Nerium skincare comes in two products, a day cream and a night cream. An eye cream is currently in development. The next product to be launched is a contouring cream, look for it this spring! For Day~ The Nerium AD day cream contains the NAE--8 extract, together with these important components~
A tripeptide blend, which smooths and tightens. Many high end luxury products on the market contain peptides, look for these on the labels.
Vitamin C complex, which is beneficial for healng, and reduce the appearance of discoloration.
Green Tea Antioxidant, which I love! Green tea also reduces discoloration and wrinkles.
Four high functioning moisturizers, including hyaluronic acid for hydration and radiance. Hyaluronic acid is also in many brands on the market. It is effective.
There is no SPF in these products, not wanting to de-value the important science that Nerium has implemented. For Night~ Nerium AD age defying treatment is used as a night cream. it is highly concentrated and to apply, blend in the palm of your hands a small amount of the product, and mix with water while blending in the palm of your hand. The Nerium AD treatment contains-
The highest amount of the NAE-8 antioxidant extract.
A powerful proprietary protein blend
Vitamin E
These ingredients combined contribute to tighten the appearance of loose skin and wrinkles, improve discoloration and diminish enlarged pores. In so doing, it addresses texture and tone for an overall youthful appearance. Application of Nerium AD night cream~ apply by pressing 4-5 pumps into your palm, and then applying to moist/damp skin after cleansing. Nerium in the news! The youngest company to be featured in Success from Home Magazine~
