“I understadn that this product has gotten raving reviews, so what I am sharing here is only my experience. My skin looks and feel like paper after using it for a few weeks: it is very dry and chapped. Definitely not a product that worked for me unfortunately.”
Hi Emma! 👋 Thanks so much for taking the time to share your experience with Renew Resurfacing Night Serum. I know how disappointing it can be to not see the results you were hoping for, and I’d like to share a few tips on how to get the most out of Renew. 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 in the evenings. It’s also important to apply skincare–Renew included–in the optimal order. We recommend using skincare 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. I hope this helps! If you have any other questions, please send an email to hello@nakedandthriving.com or send a chat. - Joy 🌿
Hi Rita! 👋 Thanks so much for taking the time to share your experience. I'll be sure to pass this along to our team. I understand that scent is a very personal preference. All of our skincare is formulated without any synthetic ingredients, meaning that none of our skincare products contain added fragrances. The scent in Renew comes from naturally-derived ingredients (like Hyaluronic Acid, Kakadu Plum, and Lemon) and fades within a few seconds after application. I’d certainly love to hear your full review when the time comes! - Joy 💕
“I am very happy with the Renew Resurfacing Night Serum. It absorbs into my face very smoothly and has a nice light fragrance. It feels like it adds a lot of moisture to my face.”
“I’ve been using this product for well over a year now, and after trying many serums from drug store to ones that are 100’s of dollars this is the perfect middle man. I’ve gone back to cheaper drug store ones and can see the difference in my skin within a few days. I notice my skin is hydrated even when I’m tired, it feels good and my skin absorbs it it doesn’t just sit on the surface like most products. It also doesn’t feel oily, their face oils don’t even feel oily.
I use this nightly with a vitamin C moisturizer and the renew oil and my skin looks flawless. During the day I wear the illuminate serum and the vitamin C moisturizer. I’ve tried so many products (almost every drug store peoduct) and this is by far some of the best stuff I have used on my sensitive skin. I don’t love all their products here but their serums and oils are amazing and they’re all natural which is a plus. I don’t see any wrinkling on my face and my skin looks tight which is great. I once tried using a different vegan oil and serum and my whole face broke out, so the fact that none of naked and thriving products make my skin flare up is a huge plus.”
Your feedback means the world to us, Amanda! ✨ We're delighted to hear that you're happy with our products, and we truly appreciate your support. - Joy ❤️
“I had really high hope with the reviews and hype over this product, but it did absolutely nothing after a month of use. It actually made me look older, and break out, and I’ve never had any issue with breakouts. I’m sad I fell for this Instagram skin care. I also got a free mini illuminate that did nothing.”
Hi Bridget 👋 Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I’ll certainly share this with our team. I’d like to share some tips that may be helpful to know when it comes to applying Renew and Illuminate! We typically recommend applying skincare from thinnest to thickest, in this order: 1) Cleanser, 2) Serum, 3) Eye Cream, 4) Face Cream, 5) Face Oil. After cleansing, apply your serum to clean, damp skin and allow to absorb for 2 - 3 minutes before moving on to the next step in your routine. When it comes to Renew, we recommend applying in the evening because it contains Alpha Hydroxy Acids, which can be sensitizing to the skin, especially in the sun. It's also suggested that you start using Renew twice a week to start building up from there. For the nights you're not using Renew, feel free to swap it with Illuminate (you can also apply Illuminate in the mornings as it’s formulated for daytime use). Additionally, we do not recommend using Renew simultaneously with any retinal products, as this may cause irritation. I hope these tips are helpful!
