REN Hydra-Calm Global Protection Day Cream and Hydra-Calm Youth Defence Serum

REN Hydra-Calm Global Protection Day Cream is a moisturiser formulated to leave more sensitive skin optimally hydrated, calmed, soothed, protected and looking beautifully healthy. I'm an ingredient freak, and was fascinated to see these in the line-up: Omega 3 and 7 from arctic blackcurrant seed and arctic seabuckthorn berry oil help to reduce skin inflammation and irritation, Bisabolol soothes and reduces redness and Global protection complex, with a powerful blend of anti-oxidants and free radical scavengers too numerous to list here, protects the skin against UV-induced damage and premature ageing REN Hydra-Calm Youth Defence Serum is specifically formulated to address the concerns of ageing through sensitivity. It protects, replenishes and visibly improves skin tone to keep sensitive skin looking younger for longer, reduces inflammation, strengthens the capillary walls and reduces hyperpigmentation. Key ingredients here are Milk Polypeptide from Milk Protein, which calms redness and inflammation and strengthens skin's lipid barrier, and Hyaluronic Acid from wheat, which boosts hydration, plumping skin Apply serum under moisturiser in the morning and under night cream in the evening, or use alone if your skin is oilier. REN uses no parabens, sulphates, petrochemicals or artificial fragrances in the Hydra Calm range
