In Appreciation of: REN’s Ready Steady Glow Daily AHA Tonic
The cult exfoliant on everyone’s wish list is a fast track to glowing skin, and it’s just taken up residence in Liberty’s Beauty Hall of Fame
By: Laura KennedyThe Synopsis
REN Ready Steady Glow Daily AHA Tonic, £28 is no diva. This generous bottle of soft amber elixir sits quietly on a shelf. Modest. Understated and practical with a convenient pump-action lid, it works hard without making a big song and dance about it. Unless you know what you’re looking for, you might not instantly recognise this game changer the instant you lay eyes upon it. Within the bottle rests a blend of brightening and exfoliating acids that can unlock skin’s smoother and more glowing potential, as its legions of fans will attest.
The Rise to Fame
Ready Steady Glow first came to market amid a shift in beauty culture, when old-fashioned grittier physical exfoliants were losing popularity and skinthusiasts were discovering the potential of acids for more efficient chemical exfoliation. Gentle enough to use daily, this contains a blend of lactic and azelaic acids the formula is brilliant at decongesting, brightening and exfoliation without irritating the skin.
The Credentials
If you’re ever invited to a beauty editor’s house, you’re sure to see this product on the bathroom shelf. Azelaic acid has become the darling ingredient of dermatologists and editors, but REN was using it before the rest of the beauty pack. It works wonders for oily and congested skin and preps skin beautifully for serums or moisturiser.
The Star Quality
The thing that makes Ready Steady Glow Daily AHA Tonic unique is the fact that it has reached legendary beauty status through sheer consumer love. Countless positive reviews from people who credit it with clarifying their skin, making their makeup look better, regulating excess oiliness and rendering their physical exfoliator obsolete. This tonic may not be a diva, but it’s every bit a Hall of Famer.
