Marks & Spencer shoppers have praised a skincare range as "excellent", saying that it has made "such a difference" to their skin and left them "glowing".
The high street retailer recently highlighted its REN Clean Skincare range on social media, which includes cleansers, moisturisers, eye care, serums, masks and anti-ageing products. The brand specialises in creating cosmetics for sensitive skin, and has proven hugely popular among M&S customers.
"Love REN skincare!" one person commented as M&S shared a clip of a model applying a series of REN products on Instagram. And someone else who had yet to try the range remarked: "Ooh, these products look really good!"

REN has racked up hundreds of glowing reviews from shoppers on the Marks & Spencer website. The currently bestseller in the collection is the REN Evercalm Day Cream, described as a a "calming, hydrating and protecting daily moisturiser", which is priced at £39 and has a rating of 4.7 out of five stars based on over 60 reviews.
One customer described the cream as "my go-to", while others branded it "fantastic", "excellent" and "the best moisturiser". An impressed shopper wrote in their review: "I wouldn't leave home without this on my face. Very light and not greasy."
Another of REN's most popular products among M&S shoppers is the Ready Steady Glow Daily Tonic, which comes with a price tag of £27 and has an impressive 4.8 stars based on nearly 1,000 reviews from customers. One fan wrote: "Absolutely love this product, use it daily and makes such a difference to my skin."
A different shopper said that the tonic left their skin feeling "brand new", while someone else said their complexion "has been glowing" since using the product. One positive review said: "I use this every evening and it's made such a difference to the quality of skin. My face is brighter and noticeably tighter within a couple of days.
"Swapped this product for another brand with similar ingredients as it was cheaper however it wasn’t anywhere near as good. As soon as I went back to this, my skin was so much better again. I won't make that mistake again," they added.
However, it seems that the tonic wasn't suited to everyone's skin, with a small handful of customers complaining that it left their skin looking red and irritated. "I can see that a lot of people love this product but it didn't suit my skin. I used to have sensitive skin that had sort of resolved itself over the last two years but this made my skin sting, I was instantly bright red and it remained this way for days," one person warned in a one-star review.
Another drawback that customers pointed out in their reviews of REN products was that they are on the expensive side when it comes to skincare - but there are currently some offers available on the high street if you want to get more for your money. M&S is currently running a promotion where shoppers get a free REN Cleansing Gel worth £25 when they buy any two REN products on the M&S website.
Meanwhile, Boots is also offering a REN Premium Beauty Box containing products worth £122.50 in total, saving shoppers £72.50 with a price tag of just £50. The set contains REN day cream, eye cream, tonic and overnight balm, and comes recommended by 75% of Boots shoppers.
One fan of the beauty box said: "Amazing offer. I have been using the toner and eye cream daily and got compliments on my skin. There is a glow to it. Would buy again."
