oh ren, why do you have to be so wonderful?
-05.17.13
Quick Take: luminous
I don't know what's really in this, or how it works, but o. m. g. My skin is LITERALLY glowing (and I know the true meaning of 'literally"). I got a sample of this with the get glowing in 10 minute kit, because I am a diehard ren glyco peel fan. Threw this on the morning, under my drugstore moisturizer, went to work, caught myself in the bathroom mirror a few hours later, and WOW. I can't even explain it. I still have acne spots, but my my oversized pores were gone, and my skin was luminous. I also have super oily skin, but this keeps the oil at bay, surprising since the Midwest humidity is coming back. Only downside: Price (as with all Ren products). Honestly, it's probably worth it. Can't wait to get a full size bottle.

oh god... it burns.

Quick Take: not for sensitive skin
I was looking for a serum to replace my clinique total turnaround and gave this a try. First off, you can't really judge something by smearing it on your hand, but when the sales wouldn't give me a sample, I took a chance and bought it. I put it on my face later on that night, I got a weird sensation... I'm assuming it's the burning feeling of Ren making your skin perfect. I don't know. I didn't like it and returned it shortly after.

great stuff!
-03.08.13
Quick Take: hydrating, moisturizing, illuminating
light, easy to wear, and provides an immediate boost in radiance & 'glow.' I used it months ago then tried some other serums just out of curiosity, and wound up coming back to this one. Even with a very light moisturizer, it gives my skin a nice, bright, glowing effect even in winter. No irritation of pore clogging.

First off I should say that I love the REN products. I'm using the nighttime moisturizer and will definitely repurchase. however, this product is just...meh. II just came off of using Dr. Gross' Ferulic Acid + Retinol brightening solution and felt like that gave more visible improvements.

ineffective
-12.03.12
unfortunately this serum did nothing on my face. I used it as it was directed, twice a day, and I did not experience any improvement, plus it is so sticky that it was hard to use under make up.

Quick Take: moisturizing
I am becoming a fan of REN products. This is an excellent serum. I immediately noticed that my complexion was brighter within the first week of using this. I use this serum at night, and my skin looks so bright and healthy when I wake up in the morning. This serum is so moisturizing that I often don't need a moisturizer. You need very little product to cover your entire face, so this will last you a long time.

Quick Take: hydrating
This is my first time using a serum in my beauty regimen and after many researches online and several trip to sephora, I'm glad I chose this one. It is lightweight(like every serum I suppose), I like how it makes my skin glows and soft. I just started using it at night too, just before bed and I love how my face looks energyze when I wake up in the morning.

if youre reallyyy really patient...
-07.19.12
Quick Take: hydrating, light
this product was highly recommended to me by two separate Sephora employees for my dark/red past acne spots that are very clear on my fair, sensitive skin. I love the consistency, its so light and thin and is great under makeup, and i also love the smell- it has a distinct scent of an orange, as if im putting a good dose of vtamin C right on me. That being said, Ive been using it for about two months now and am just starting to see SOME results in the lightening/brightening of dark spots. you need to be very patient in order to see any results. Im in my mid 20's so dont have many fine lines so i cant comment oin if it diminished lines/wrinkles, but can say it will help a bit with spots. Although for almost 60 dollars, I think I might try something new instead.

Super results on acne
-06.05.12
Bought this for my daughter, who has acne and a large patch of acne scarring on her cheek. We have tried all the products out there. I gave this to her for Christmas, and now her skin is clear, bright and even toned. Even the area of scarring has lightened and smoothed out beautifully. It took several months to see dramatic results, so be patient. She is thrilled and I am a happy mama.

My Favorite Serum Ever.
-06.04.12
I bought because a Sephora girl with great skin recommended it to me. I have used it for about three weeks now and I really love it. My skin is brighter and looks more even. I went without makeup for the first time on vacation and felt great. This is a favorite and I would highly recommend.

Un-freaking-believable!
-05.31.12
Quick Take: exfoliating, lightening
I tried this after reading many positive reviews - and I couldn't be more thrilled with the results.
Old, dark acne scars are GONE! Oil production REDUCED. For my dark, oily, acne prone, dull skin this has been an absolute miracle worker.
I did read reviews that said to do this every-other-day - but I've gone full force, every night for the past 2 weeks. Just ridiculous how happy I am with this product.

Quick Take: exfoliating, improves and smooths skin texture, helps with hyperpigmentation
I got a sample of this product, as its quite expensive and I didn't want to end up spending a lot of money and not liking it. After less than a week of using this serum, I got so many compliments on how my skin was glowing and radiant. I will definitely invest in this product. it is definitely worth the price, as I saw great results.

My skin can get pretty dull and I have problems with hyperpigmentation. I really wanted this to work for me, but it didn't. I have combination/oily skin and this caused it to get really congested (blackheads, whiteheads, pimples). I felt like it wasn't sinking into my skin, but just sitting on top of it and making it sticky. If your skin gets congested easily, I would stay away from this.
