Beauty routines look very different from how they did even five years ago. Where once a quick cleanse and moisturiser felt like enough, now we know that what we do consistently, early on, really does make a difference later down the line. I've always been someone who leans into that mindset, and if I'm honest, it comes from my mum. She was (and still is) meticulous about skincare, and from my early 20s, she encouraged me to think less about quick fixes and more about investing in products that support my skin long-term. One brand she always comes back to? Lancôme—and in particular, the brand's Renérgie line.
And when my mum first mentioned just how good the Rénergie products are, I wasn't fully invested—most of her skincare is aimed towards reversal. But, after some coaxing, she finally convinced me to try it. The Rénergie collection is designed with firmness, elasticity and collagen support in mind. They aren't necessarily about reversing damage, but more about supporting your skin before you feel like you "need" to. Fast-forward a few years, and it's a philosophy I've fully adopted—my Rénergie routine included. And that's why I'm ecstatic to announce that as a gift to you, we're giving you the opportunity to win the entire Rénergie collection—just keep scrolling.
Plus, with the launch of Rénergie Collagen Lift-Xtend Cream, it feels like the collection has gotten even more elevated.
What makes this latest launch interesting isn't just the results (although the promise of visibly firmer, more defined skin in a matter of hours is hard to ignore), but the way it's been formulated. The texture, which is slightly thread-like and inspired by lifting techniques, feels different to your standard moisturiser, and it sits somewhere between a treatment and a cream. It's powered by an advanced collagen complex, in which collagen fractions, peptides and copper tripeptides work together to support the skin when it starts to lose strength over time. It sounds technical, but in practice, it's about skin that looks a bit more lifted, a bit more defined and generally more "held".
The wider Rénergie collection follows that same thinking. It's not about overloading your routine, but about layering products that each have a clear role. The Collagen Lift-Xtend Cream fits easily as a day cream if you're focused on firmness, whilst Rénergie Night Cream is richer, and something I reach for when my skin feels a bit tired or needs more support overnight. Then there's the Rénergie Retinol Serum, which is more targeted. Retinol can be a commitment, but used properly, it's one of those ingredients that genuinely shifts the look of skin over time, for smoother texture, more even tone and better clarity overall.
What I appreciate is that the range doesn't feel overwhelming, and you can build into it. If you're starting to think more about collagen, which, for most of us, is in our mid-to-late 20s onwards, it's a natural place to begin, but equally, if you're further along and want something that works a bit harder, the formulas hold up. It’s worth noting that results are tangible—9/10 women agreed their skin felt firmer*—which only adds to the appeal when you’re investing in something long-term.
There's also something to be said for sticking with a routine that feels consistent. Trends in skincare come and go, but ranges like Rénergie have stayed relevant because they focus on the fundamentals: structure, firmness and long-term support. It's not about doing everything, it's about doing the right things, regularly.
If you've been thinking about refining your routine or want to see what a more targeted approach to collagen support looks like, this is a good place to start. And, with the full Rénergie line-up now offering a chance to win a complete bundle, there's even more reason to take a closer look. Sign up below and also shop some of our favourites from the line.
