Hi Jill! 👋 We really appreciate you sharing your experience! It’s wonderful to know the Renew Resurfacing Night Serum is your go-to for fresh skin. - Joy 💖
“Have been taking this product for many years and absolutely love it. It makes my skin feel soothed and refreshed. No irritation for someone who has sensitive skin.”
“Love the Renew serum! It feels great going on, smells great, and absorbs easily. Once absorbed, there is no greasy or sticky feel. I haven’t been using it long enough to see a difference in lines, but I do notice a wonderful improvement in hydration.”
“I have been using Renew Face Serum for over a year and I love it! I am a retirec Dermatologist and I recommend it to my patients as the best Hyaluronic Acid product I've tried, including those we sold in my practice. I generally don't like any kind of fragrance in my products but I find the Renew to be both clean smelling and a refreshing natural odor. I'm not sure why some people have commented unfavorably on its fragrance, I like it. I have worked my way up to using it twice a day and have no problems with dryness or irritation, in spite of having fairly dry skin. After the serum is completely dry on the skin I apply my moisturizer, a moisturizer with a 30 SPF sunscreen in it. I prefer an oil free moisturizer. Since I'm in my 60s I use a fairly substantial but easily smoothed on moisturizer and occasionally add a thin layer of a 15% Lactic Acid cream for further smoothing and exfoliation. The addition of an eye cream is a good idea, as well but only apply it to outer edges of the orbit (the bones around the eyes) and avoid bringing it new to the lid margin (near the eyelashes) as it will continue to spread and could be irritating to the eyes. Only use products that smooth on easily and do not pull on or stretch your skin and this increases skin laxity and wrinkles and always adjust your program according to what your skin is telling you...your skin needs will change from season to season and, particularly if the temperature and humidity changes rapidly and you need to be in tune with those needs to best benefit from any product you use.”
Hi Carey! 👋 Thank you so much for this thoughtful and informative review! As a retired dermatologist, your perspective carries tremendous weight, and we’re truly honored that you not only trust our Renew for your own use but also recommend it to your patients. We’re especially glad to hear that the product has worked well with your dry skin and fits seamlessly into your advanced skincare routine.
Your detailed explanation of how you incorporate the serum, along with SPF, moisturizers, and exfoliants, is incredibly valuable for others looking to build an effective regimen. We also appreciate your professional insight on proper eye cream application and the importance of adapting skincare to seasonal changes.
Lastly, we're grateful for your comments on the fragrance. It's helpful to hear your view as someone who typically avoids scented products. Thank you again for sharing your expertise and experience! - Joy 💖
“I was so excited to try Renew Night Serum based on the ads I was seeing on social media. I typically use La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 serum. Unfortunately, my experience with Renew did not compare favorably. By the 4th day of use, my skin was drier, especially under my eyes where I need the most moisture. The "earthy" fragrance was off putting for me as well, but I would have tolerated it if the results for me were as promised. Renew might work well for someone with oily skin as opposed to my drier skin. Needless to say, I'm back to my former serum.”
Hi Dianne! 👋 Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. I’ll be sure to pass it along to our team. I understand how disappointing it can be when a product doesn’t yet meet your expectations. I’d love to share a little more about Renew’s formula and a few tips on how to get the most out of your regimen.
Because Renew Resurfacing Night Serum contains Alpha Hydroxy Acids (which can be sensitizing), we recommend initially applying Renew twice per week and then gradually increasing from there to give your skin a chance to adjust. AHAs can also increase sun sensitivity–as mentioned on the box–so be sure to apply SPF, limit sun exposure, and use Renew exclusively in the evenings. In addition, given the AHAs, we do not recommend applying Renew around the delicate eye area. As for Renew’s scent, it’s important to note that none of our skincare is formulated without any synthetic ingredients, meaning that none of our formulas contain added fragrances, which can be sensitizing. Renew is made from Aloe, Fruit Extracts, and Glycolic Acid; as a result, many customers describe it as having a light, watery, and slightly acidic scent. All that said, I completely understand that scent preference is very personal.
It’s also important to apply skincare in the optimal order. We recommend applying our products from thinnest to thickest, in this order: 1) Cleanser, 2) Serum, 3) Eye Cream, 4) Face Cream, 5) Face Oil. After cleansing and while your skin is still slightly damp, apply Renew and allow it to absorb for 2-3 minutes. Then proceed with the rest of your routine.
Finally, I’m happy to share that in an independent clinical study with 33 Renew users over 4 weeks, 97% showed a decrease in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, 100% showed an increase in hydration, and 7 out of 10 showed improvement in skin tone and texture (of course, everyone’s skin is unique so results can vary). I hope this helps! If you have any other questions, please send an email to hello@nakedandthriving.com or send a chat. - Joy 🌿
