Ren is a skincare brand that’s new to me – and I’m so impressed by some of their messaging and values. They are working towards making all their packaging recyclable, so the lid that you on this jar is made of recycled plastic and is also recyclable, so when you’re done using the Overnight Glow Dark Spot Sleeping Cream, you can recycle the lid with your plastics, and the glass with your glass recycling. 
Besides that, I’m really loving using the Ren Overnight Glow Dark Spot Sleeping Cream. Have I seen that some of my dark spots (freckles, really) have disappeared. No. But I felt like I woke up with brighter skin the very first time that I used this cream.
The major ingredients in the Ren Overnight Glow Dark Spot Sleeping Cream are encapsulated Algae and Phytoglycogen, two natural ingredients that are proven to fight pigmentation in your skin, so this cream will lead to brighter skin over time. I use it in conjunction with whatever I’m already using on my skin because I see it as more of a brightening moisturizer. It seems to work well with my acid toners, especially.
Ren says that this cream is rich and hydrating but I didn’t find that to be true. If I was having a dry day with my skin, I found that I still woke up with dry skin in the morning, and I actually found that this cream was a little bit mattifying which I didn’t mind.
If you’re into that sort of thing, this cream is labelled as “Clean” at Sephora.
