{Anti-Aging Solutions with Dr. Renaud Skin Care}
After the age of 25, I was told that it is recommended to start combating signs of aging regardless of whether you have started seeing them or not. Now being a woman in my late 20’s, I am always on the lookout for interesting new ways to preserve that youthful glow; so I was excited to test out a few products from the Dr. Renaud skin care line!
Laboratoire Dr. Renaud was founded in France in 1947 by Dr. Louis Raymond Renaud, the first dermatologist to undertake skincare product research. The company prides itself in creating advanced skin care products without the use of synthetic colorants, mineral oil, or parabens. Also, none of the products are tested on animals – so you can be pampered, while being health conscious and ethical.
When I received the ExCellience VoluSculpt kit I could not wait to get started. It claims to be “the great restorer” and specifically targets changes to the facial architecture caused by loss of elasticity, muscle tone and density. It includes great natural ingredients such as Apple Stem Cell Extract, along with Argan Stem Cell Extract. Oh, and as a side note it smells fruity, fresh and amazing!
It is recommended for all skin types (even the most sensitive) and can be used as a cosmetic alternative to techniques aimed at correcting the loss of firmness and sagging of the skin; sure signs of aging.
Included with the serum is a nifty little roller that you roll across your perfectly cleansed skin in the morning, prior to application of the product. Then you apply two pumps of the serum to your face and decollete and rub it in gently. It is suggested that you do this twice daily, for 35 days to achieve optimum results.
One thing that I love about the roller is it instantly gets your circulation going and it feels like a relaxing massage to your cheeks and forehead. Step by step instructions are also included so you’ll know which areas to target. The entire process took me no more than two minutes! (I love the easy-to-follow diagram).
After I applied the serum, I dusted on the Loose Powder Broad Spectrum SPF 50 which should be applied 15 minutes before any sun exposure. The brush is attached to the powder itself. Using it for the first time I had to shake and dust a bit to get the powder to come to the edge of the brush. Once evenly coating my face in it, I must say that I was glowing! It is very, very natural looking with minimal coverage so it is not a product to be used to even out any major discoloration of the skin. My skin is fairly blemish free, with only some slight redness here and there so this product was perfect for that natural, barely-there look. Reapply this every two hours if you are consistently out in the sun. It is not intended if you are in the water or sweating a lot – in that case use a water resistant sun screen! As a bonus, it contains powerful anti-oxidant ingredients so you can fight the signs of aging (aka wrinkles) at the same time.
The ExCellience VoluSculpt kit has a suggested retail price of $164.00 CAD and the Loose Powder Broad Spectrum SPF 50 (in light or dark) costs approximately $56.00 CAD.

I am very happy to have discovered the world of Dr Renaud and look forward to being able to try out some more of his fabulous products this year.
I love the idea of the mineral sunscreen in a brush like that, so easy for touch ups. I recently started to use a jade roller for massaging my face, but this looks way better because of the nubs. I bet it is great for lymph drainage on faces.
Wow jade sounds interesting – I’d imagine it’s really cooling on the skin?
It is, it helps when you get all puffy in the morning.
Oh, so interesting! I tried a beauty tool that looked similar but it had pins instead of plastic. Yours looks more comfortable! I did it for a while but then stopped. I should try it again. And I have a powder/brush sunscreen that I use for my face during the summer. I love it! So much easier to reapply throughout the day. Dr. Renaud sounds like a brand I need to get to know!
Pins?!?!?! Ouch! That doesn’t sound very comfortable at all!
