Review - REN Active 7 Radiant Eye Maintenance Gel



It isn't often that I find a product that I completely fall in love with, is a dream to apply and the results are amazing.


This one product is REN Active 7 Radiant Eye Maintenance Gel.


This eye gel is in the slightly higher end of the market and with an rrp of £17.50 for 15mls, it's certainly on the pricier side.


The premise of the eye gel is that it revives tired looking eyes, and is so light it can even be applied over your makeup.


It is nice and light and cooling on the eye area. I get slightly worried with gel formulations, in that they will be too firming and not moisturise but this product is not drying at all, and my eyes felt comfortable and revitalised.


It contains arnica and vitamin p both of which help in the fight against dark circles and puffiness. It also contains something called a Tyrosinase inhibitor which is derived from a plant called Wild Rumex which also helps to fade dark circles. Extracts from Sea Grass and Corn derived Hyaluronic Acid help to tone the eye contour, and also add moisture.


One pump of the gel is plenty for both eyes, and it was even gentle enough to use on the lids. It doesn't have a scent, which is particularly important in an eye product because sensitivity can easily occur when you use fragranced eye creams / gels.


The tube lasted me around 2 - 3 months and this was using it day and night, and my goodness did my dark circles begin to fade! I thought that nothing would help this much and put them down to being hereditary (thanks mum!) but low and behold a dramatic reduction.


I have used it both over and under makeup and no separation to your concealer occurs so you could easily pop the tube in your handbag and apply liberally throughout the day!


Alas I have now come to the end of my tube, and was actually quite distraught! I will definitely be re-purchasing and don't envisage myself wanting to try another eye product, not when this does all I need.


REN are currently doing free delivery on all orders placed online and you will also receive a free Neroli & Grapefruit Zest Body Wash too!


I really cannot recommend this product enough, if you are concerned about dark circles and bags then give it a try - it has helped to improve mine immensely.
