I was recently recommended this trio of products for combination/oily skin when I visited the REN headquarters. And they've turned out to be utterly brilliant!
Of the three products, the Clarifying Toning Lotion, £18 for 150ml, is probably the least revolutionary. That said, given that it's a toner for combination/oily skin, it manages to balance and clarify the skin without being overly harsh or stripping, unlike some other clarifying lotions I could mention (ahem, Clinique). It's also very refreshing, and contains glycolic acid to provide a mild exfoliating effect.
T-Zone Balancing Day Fluid is a wonderful moisturiser - although it is expensive at £26 for 50ml. It has a light texture which is incredibly easy to spread across the skin but isn't too fluid; it definitely injects moisture into the skin but doesn't feel heavy, greasy, or overly rich. I have noticed that the dry patches on my forehead can look pronounced halfway through the day, so it's worth using a richer cream on any dry spots to keep them hydrated through the day.
My favourite product of the three is the Invisible Pores Detox Mask, which is worth every penny of its £18 for 50ml pricetag. It's incredible. Having a clay based formula, it deep cleanses and draws out impurities, but doesn't dry out the skin or leave it feeling in desperate need of hydration. It's become part of my routine to deal with pesky, deep rooted spots - I apply a herbal astringent in the evening, and then apply this in the morning to dry out the spot. I particularly like the packaging - it has a little cap to go over the end of the pump spout, which helps prevent the product drying out in the pump. Brilliant.
