Brightening myth, debunked. 

“The higher the acid, the better the brightening benefits”. This isn’t just a myth that needs debunked, but a theory that could be causing your skin barrier real damage. The acid percentage, is a measure of how harsh the product can be on skin, whereas the pH that tells you how deep the product will go into your skin. 

The lower the pH, the deeper the product is likely to penetrate into all layers of the skin, with increased irritation especially under pH 3. That’s why at REN Clean Skincare all of our exfoliating products lie between 3.5 and 4.5 pH, giving you real, glowing results - without compromising or weakening your skin’s protective barrier. 

 

Your clean, glow-giving routine. 

We recommend using Daily AHA Tonic in at night, so you’re not going into direct sunlight after, as with any exfoliating product. However, you can also use AM and PM to ramp up your glow. Here’s a few tips to get your skin glowing and keep it that way:

Always apply on freshly cleansed skin. 

A no-brainer, perhaps, but ensuring your skin is free of makeup, pollution or debris helps your ingredients penetrate better. Use Clean Jelly Oil Cleanser AM and PM to create your Perfect Canvas for skincare to follow.

Always use SPF.

Any exfoliation can increase sun sensitivity. Use Clean Screen SPF 30 (especially if you apply Daily AHA Tonic in the morning) to protect your skin from burning, premature ageing and dark spot formation. 

Stay hydrated.

For maximum skin health - always stay hydrated inside and out. Our glow-giving moisturisers, Vitamin C Gel Cream and Overnight Glow Dark Spot Sleeping Cream are non-acid brighteners, so are formulated to limit irritation when used with Daily AHA Tonic. Use in conjunction to reveal your most even skin yet.
