The East London brand is best known for leading the pack with a stripped-back, no-nonsense approach to skincare. Founded by Rob Calcraft and Antony Buck, it was ahead of the curve when it came to so-called "clean" beauty. The brand was a trailblazer for sustainable beauty, championing natural ingredients and formulas gentle enough for sensitive skin. Shoppers are acting fast to snap up their favourites at half price before they're gone for good. Big Sale The REN online store is offering 30% off sitewide, giving you the perfect excuse to stock up on clean, effective skincare - including cult favourites Ready Steady Glow Daily AHA Tonic and REN Bio Retinoid Youth Cream. And if you're after even bigger savings, don't miss their gift sets and bundles, now going for 40% off - making it easier than ever to elevate your skincare routine without breaking the bank. The Evercalm Gift of Calm gift set is your ticket to stronger, more nourished and deeply hydrated skin. Packed with natural bioactives to soothe and protect your skin, this bestselling Evercalm trio comes with a limited-edition cosmetics bag made from 100% recycled materials. It includes the Evercalm Barrier Support Elixir 30ml, Evercalm Global Protection Cream 15ml and Evercalm Overnight Recovery Balm 15ml. Buying these products separately would set you back £106 - but the bundle is just £49.50, saving you a whopping £56.50! That's nearly half price for three bestsellers - a total steal for skincare lovers. Skincare whizz urges beauty fans to hit high street store for £2.49 spray that works a treat to stop spots on hot days Goodbye after 25 years Named after the Swedish word for 'clean,' REN was born in 2000 when its founder's pregnant wife started reacting badly to her usual products. From the beloved Evercalm balm to the barrier-boosting elixir, REN's lineup has always favoured planet-friendly bioactives — ditching parabens, synthetic fragrances, sulfates and petrochemicals way before it was trendy. REN was acquired in 2015 by beauty giant Unilever, joining its Prestige Brands division. Its eco-conscious ethos set the blueprint for every green beauty brand that came after. REN's gentle, effective formulas have won fans across the board — from teens discovering skincare for the first time, to those battling eczema. While the industry buzzes with greenwashing nonsense, REN has remained a rare trustworthy name in sustainable skincare for 25 years. Biggest beauty mistakes Fabulous' Beauty Editor Tara Ledden has shared the do's and don'ts when it comes to beauty. "No matter how much time and money you spend on your beauty routine, if you're not getting the basics right, the rest is wasted. "There aren't many non-negotiables, but these are the biggest beauty mistakes sabotaging your regime." Not wearing SPF: Sun-damage is the main cause of premature skin ageing, so if you want to keep your skin looking plump and glowing, sun cream is vital.

Using expired products: Best case, they're ineffective and don't deliver the results they promise, worst case they cause irritation and infection. The shelf life of beauty products differ - for example, mascara is usually good for 3-6 months while lipstick can last for 9-18 months. Check the 'POA' symbol on the packaging (it looks like a jar and will have a number inside for how many months it's safe once opened. If you can't remember when you opened your product, throw it away and start again, marking the month and year with a permanent marker on the packaging.

Not knowing your undertones: If you're using make-up with the wrong undertones, it'll never look natural no matter how much you blend it! An easy trick to work out whether you have cool, warm or neutral undertones is to check the veins on your wrist - if they look blue, you have cool undertones, if they're green, you have warm and if they're a mix you have neutral.

Skipping heat protector: It might feel unnecessary, but much like sun damage on the skin, excess heat is the most common cause of hair damage. So, if you want shiny, healthy hair, or you're trying to grow it longer, using a heat protection product is key.

Not washing your face before bed: it's as simple as this, if you're not washing your face before you go to sleep, everything that's been on your skin during the day is sitting there for even longer, clogging your pores and drying out the surface. Any skincare applied on top isn't going to be effective with a layer of dirt underneath, and you're probably going to end up with dirty pillows too - yuck! Official Statement REN revealed the last time consumers can buy products from its official website on Instagram. They shared the date and a heartfelt message alongside an image which said: "We have some news… News for our fRENds ♥︎ You can still shop with us over at until 31 July 2025. 'After 25 incredible years we will soon be closing our doors. Born in London in 2000, we have been proud to put 'clean' skin care on the agenda, creating positive change for our people and planet. 'We thank you, our community, for your support over the years'.

What to stock up on from REN Clean Skincare as brand announces imminent closure
With the recent sad news that popular beauty brand REN Clean Skincare will soon cease trading, here are the best products we recommend buying while you still can Beauty fans were heartbroken when, a few weeks ago, much-loved skincare brand REN Clean Skincare announced that, after 25 years in business, it will soon cease trading, citing "internal factors" and "market challenges" as the reason why. This came as sad news to fans of the brand who loved its iconic products such as Ready Steady Glow Daily AHA Tonic, Redness Relief Serum and their luxurious bath oils. The official word from Unilever, the company that owns REN, is that "there is no fixed date for final closure, but [they] expect to cease trading by the end of Q3 2025". This means that you've potentially only got a few months before your skincare favourites from the brand are no longer available to buy, and if you're dreading the thought of being without them, you might want to stock up. Here's what we'll be adding to our baskets now, while we still can... Best REN Clean Skincare products REN Clean Skincare Radiance Brightening Dark Circle Eye Cream Was £49, now £37 from Lookfantastic This is our beauty editor Laura Mulley's all-time favourite eye cream – and she's tried plenty over the years. " It's incredibly creamy and nourishing, which my dry eyes need, but also doesn't make my already-puffy eyes look even puffier and, although it won't have a dramatic impact on dark circles, feels like it's active enough to be actually doing something, and gives an instant illumination to the eye area. For me, it's the perfect formula." For an alternative, try Origins GinZing Brightening Eye Cream with Caffeine and Ginseng, £24. Was £30, now £23.60 from Boots Perhaps REN's most famous product, this is the OG of liquid exfoliators, an effective yet gentle combination of lactic acid (one of the more hydrating ones) and salicylic acid (great for unclogging pores). Expect brighter, more even-toned skin, both instantly and over time, while we know someone who swears by this for keeping adult acne at buy (just remember that, despite its name, you might not need to use an acid exfoliator every day). Once it's gone for good, you might also like Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 6% Mandelic + 2% Lactic Acid AHA Liquid Exfoliant, currently from £10.40. REN Clean Skincare Evercalm Overnight Balm Was £46, now £36.80 from Boots The whole Evercalm range is excellent for sensitive or compromised skin and this treatment balm, while too thick for most to use as a daily face cream, is a brilliant store cupboard essential for using on sore noses, chapped skin or after procedures such as laser. It instantly soothes and calms stressed skin. We wouldn't recommend putting this over your whole face, but CeraVe Advanced Repair Ointment, currently £9.20, is a great standby for dry lips and small patches of skin. REN Clean Skincare Bio Retinoid Youth Cream Was £54, now £43.20 from Boots If you can't – or don't want to – use retinol, this anti-ageing cream contains a plant-derived alternative, with testers reporting firmer and more supple skin after using this for 28 days. There's also an excellent serum in the range and, for dry skin, an oil (Medik8's Bakuchiol Peptides, £55, is similar).
