Everywhere you look right now brands have their own 'Acid' product to aid exfoliation and when I was invited to the launch of Ready Steady Glow Daily AHA Tonic by REN, I was quite excited. If you read my blog regularly, REN have featured a lot over the years because I love the brand and their products, especially the magnesium range (reviewed here).
Ready Steady Glow Daily AHA Tonic is a gentle one that focuses mainly on Lactic Acid and it is suitable for even sensitive skins. Described by REN as being a toner that provides a daily dose of clean bio-active extracts to help your skin get glowing, formulated with the pH of 3.5; the optimum pH at which your skin naturally exfoliates. To do this REN use and harness the power of three sustainable, natural bio-actives - Lactic Acid, Salicin and Azelaic Acid Precursor and each one of these ingredients work together and each one is quite incredible:
- Lactic Acid. This is sourced from the fermentation of yeast and is used to dissolve the bonds holding dull, dead skin cells on the surface. It has renewing abilities, helping skin to appear firmer and plumper by encouraging new cell turnover.
- Salicin. This is sustainably sourced from Willow Bark Extract and it works on the skin’s surface and can more effectively help cleanse your pores. It also helps to balance the production of the skin’s natural sebum levels and reduces imperfections
- Azelaic Acid Precursor. Sourced from Wheat, Rye and Barley, REN state that this is the bio-active that’s going to give you the brightening. It works with the skin to boost radiance, hydration and even elasticity.
Bringing them together and putting them into one product, not only does your skin get look amazing, it also feels amazing too. I have been using this Tonic for well over a month now and whilst there is a very slight tingle when I used it the first time, it doesn't make my skin go red, it doesn't make my skin feel dry and it doesn't sting. It also doesn't have a horrid scent to it, infact I rather like the scent of this, orange
We all know that exfoliation is good for the skin because the process of removing dead and dull skin cells reveals a much healthier, brighter looking skin but over-exfoliation is not good, so finding the right balance is important. REN make everything much simpler with Ready Steady Glow Daily AHA Tonic because it is gentle enough to be used daily.
I love that it comes in a pump dispensing bottle known as a well-pump and you simply push down with cotton pads until it is saturated and then swipe onto clean skin over the face and neck, day and night, avoiding the eye area before following with your regular skincare routine.
The REN Ready Steady Glow Daily AHA Tonic has launched as of 1st February 2018 and a 250ml bottle retails for £25 here.
