REN Clean Skincare Evercalm Overnight Recovery Balm, Travel Size 15ml

I’ve used this a few nights to help chill my skin out after a retinol purge & burn. The pictures were taken 8hrs apart; you can see that this stuff does it’s job in the “calming” department! Keep in mind this is an occlusive mask, so it does have a kind of Vaseline-y feeling to it, but it’s so luxuriously melty that it ends up being more pillow-safe. It’s best to use moisturizer and/or hydrating product(s) beneath it, since this essentially locks those in for the night to increase absorption. I was going for a pretty hefty dose of moisture & calming, so my routine on Ren Mask nights goes like this: cleansing balm, cica serum, hyalurionic acid + polyglutamaic acid, Drunk Elephant’s merula oil, and Tatcha Indigo night mask. I wait about 20 minutes for all of that to sink in before putting this on to hold it in while I sleep. It has an herb-y scent but isn’t overpowering in my opinion. It looks weird and gooey in the jar and is a little difficult to scoop out, especially with warm fingers, as it melts instantaneously. I use enough to get my face nice n oily but not so much that it’s sliding off (just one finger scoop is enough for me). This is something I would recommend for skin that really needs that boost of calming moisture, or for “slugging.” I have acne-prone combination skin, and I find that this helps rather than worsens.

Really good for dry skin and irritated skin. absolutely love It put a bit on for bed an wake up fresh faced

This is my absolute favourite product, it is like a light non greasy layer of grease. Very confusing and super super hydrating, love love love have brought 100 times

Recommend this moisturizer to those that suffer from acne and their skin is always dry

This was an amazing purchase for my dry peaking skin. I’m in tretinoin and this winter has been hard for my skin. I use La Roche usually but I need something a little extra. Literally two nights after using Ren there’s been a big different. Will be getting the bigger bottle next time.
