Rarely do I follow a product launch as intensely as I did the latest from REN. Flash Rinse 1 Minute Facial made a brief appearance in the UK earlier this year but after a quick re-package, the tube now stands up all on its own. No longer part of the V-Cense line (the former Frankincense range), this treatment product rejuvenates dull skin and fights fatigue with water activated Vitamin C. Obviously, I need it. #MustHaveStatus
I first encountered REN at least ten years ago at the Barneys CO-OP Soho store in NYC. It involved a purchase of the now discontinued Jojoba Microbead Purifying Facial Polish. Since then, the CO-OP stores have undergone serious rebranding and my old stomping grounds in Soho are unrecognizable. You still can purchase the REN range at Barneys New York. Thankfully, some things never change. #PleaseDontGo
REN Flash Rinse 1 Minute Facial is a slightly gritty, pale green gel-like paste that is neither creamy nor fluffy. Apply it to a cleansed and DRY face and massage it in briefly while enjoying the pleasant sweet scent reminiscent of candy. Then, wet your fingers and gently rub water over your face for a minute. Because this unique formula is water free, Vitamin C is encapsulated with silica and glyceride to remain stable. Only when you add water to emulsify the Flash Rinse will the 10% concentration of Vitamin C become active. Bye urban grey. #GoneInSixtySeconds
Vitamin C is one of the most potent antioxidants available. It boosts collagen and adds brightness to skin while addressing sun damage and hyperpigmentation. REN Flash Rinse 1 Minute Facial revives your complexion instantly. The addition of boswellic acid and magnesium helps relax facial muscles and adds radiance to the skin. Unless you have ultra sensitive skin, enjoy this treat every three days for optimal results. #Cyourself
REN prides itself on some of the purest formulas on the market, which are never tested on animals. Free of anything harmful, colorful and weirdly fragrant, the REN range offers a luxury spa experience with visible results. If you’re a fan of masks, check out the Glyco Lactic Radiance Renewal one. It’s amazing. Explore the full range HERE. Flash Rinse 1 Minute Facial comes in a 2.5oz tube and retails for $48. One word of caution: SHAKE before each use. Mine must have separated and greeted me with a squirt of oil. #BeFlashy
