Last few days to buy REN skincare before closure as brand slashes prices by 50%

Beauty fans were heartbroken when, a few months 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 its luxurious bath oils.

The official word from the brand is that it – and its website – will be closing on 31 July 2025, meaning you've only got a couple of days to stock up on your favourites (although we don't know yet if third party retailers such as Lookfantastic and Cult Beauty will continue to sell through their REN stock).

And before it goes for good, the REN website is holding a huge closing down sale, with up to 50% of some of its bestsellers, including our team's favourites. Here's what we'll be adding to our baskets now, while we still can...

Best REN Clean Skincare products now on sale REN Clean Skincare Radiance Brightening Dark Circle Eye Cream

Was £49, now £24.50

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 once it's gone for good, try Origins GinZing Brightening Eye Cream with Caffeine and Ginseng, curerntly £24.

REN Clean Skincare Glow Daily AHA Tonic

Was £30, now £21

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 £11.20

REN Clean Skincare Bio Retinoid Youth Serum

Was £64, now £44.80

If you can't – or don't want to – use retinol, this anti-ageing serum contains a plant-derived alternative, with testers reporting firmer and more supple skin after using this for 28 days. There's also an oil on the range for dry skin (Medik8's Bakuchiol Peptides, currently £44, is similar).

REN Clean Skincare Atlantic Kelp And Microalgae Anti-Fatigue Toning Body Oil

Was £38, now £19

REN's body oils are just lovely, and this one is especially good if you want to soothe aching muscles as well as hydrate dry skin. It contains omega-rich microalgae oil and red algae extract, plus has a lovely energising scent.

A gorgeous alternative that you can use in the bath as well as on the skin is ESPA Energising Bath & Body Oil, £36.

REN Clean Skincare Everhydrate Marine Moisture-Restore Serum

Was £40, now £24

If you're not sure exactly what your skin needs, you can't go wrong with simple hydration, and this serum gives exactly that. It's suitable for all skin types, including sensitive or eczema-prone. We've had a male tester use it recently and he loved it too.
