REN Cleansing Conditioners Review



I Purchased these at Walgreens for $14.99, I decided to wander down the shampoo isle and found them seperatly. Sweet Pomegranate on it own was $9.99 and the Rosemary Mint was $14.99. I wonder what there is such a price difference between the two. I got the double pack for $14.99.... A steal i think so! I basically got the Sweet Pomegranate free! If you cant find these in-store you can go on walgreens website and get them each for $9.99, You save $5 if you buy Rosemary Mint online! Both bottles are 16 ounces. I can tell you now i don't like the sweet candy smell of the sweet pomegranate, I doesn't smell anything like pomegranate and has a menthol smell like a cherry cough drop but the rosemary mint smells so fresh and clean!  I've tried another cleansing conditioner before that i also purchased at walgreens and I HATED it. The directions say Apply 10 to 12 pumps and work from roots to ends and massage for 2 to 3 minutes then leave it in for another 3 to 5 minutes.

The bottle says Most Damage occurs to the hair while shampooing, rubbing your hair causes the damaged areas to crack and tear. This miracle cleansing conditioner melts into your hair. Coconut oil gently removes the surface impurities while restoring natural oils. Hydrating Keratin loaded with amino acids & protein repair damaged and restore strength.  Shea butter conditions damaged areas, replacing protective lipids, resulting in  beautiful, soft, silky hair alive with shine and luster!


My sister used the Rosemary Mint and told me that her scalp burned and everywhere her hair touched her face it also had a burning sensation and she rushed to wash it out and her face still burned a little and it had been a little over 20 minutes.  She also says that in order to cover all of her hair which is about 2 inches past her shoulders she had to use 15 pumps...so if your hairs longer your going to need a lot! I personally rubbed some of the Rosemary Mint on my hands and smell straight up like vicks vapor rub when its on your skin! So maybe it just has a strong menthol cooling feeling, like icy hot...or vicks!  My sister also doesn't like this product. She said her hair feels dirty and ill be honest it didn't look clean!


I used Sweet Pomegranate and right off the bat i have long hair that goes past my boobs and i had to use so much of the product like 2 huge handfuls by handfuls i mean like you would cup both your hands together like getting water out of the sink. It felt like i had dumped an entire bottle of regular conditioner on my head and it has a very strong menthol smell and it felt very cooling..It smells like sugar and vicks vapor rub. My hair while it was still SOAKING wet felt like straw and i deep conditioned the night before. While my hair was damp like towel dried  i could tell where i missed parts of my hair with product when i find a spot i cant brush through, other than that is soft. After my hair fully dried it felt a little dry and looked a bit dull.

By the way My sister and i have really fine hair that doesn't hold style and get oily FAST! All in all neither of us like these products, we just cant use cleansing conditioners i guess!

Would I recommend this product to anyone...I wouldn't mention this in a conversation or anything but im not saying you shouldn't try it, you might actually like it! Everyone's different! I also have never had a good experience with other cleansing conditioners! So ill stick to my Herbal Essences Honey I'm Strong Shampoo & L'Oreal Conditioning Balm... I'm reviewing the balm next!

  1. I tried Ren for the first time last week and I am very unhappy with it. It is nothing like WEN My hair feels like it is so dry and parched while in the shower and it doesn't look or feel clean. I should have known better then to try and save a few dollars by not ordering my WEN. I guess I will be ordering WEN in the morning.
