YB Loves: An Instant Lift in a Bottle

Each day the editors of Yahoo Beauty are sharing one noteworthy product we feel should be on your radar. From the latest and greatest items that land on our desks to indie products with a cool backstory to the old standbys that have earned a permanent place on our vanities, trust us: you’ll want to check them out.
When a product claims to work instantly, I’m always slightly suspicious. First of all, I find it tough to believe that anything can work at the drop of a hat (I’ve always seen the best results after using skin care steadily over time). And then comes the question of longevity—will the results of said instant product even last?

Let’s just say REN Keep Young And Beautiful Instant Firming Beauty Shot ($54) has me eating my words. Here’s why: This super-potent product is like a shot of caffeine for your face. The secret is in its fast-acting ingredients (hyaluronans and phycocolloids, if you want to get technical) specially selected for their binding, firming, and lifting properties. After just one application, skin looks and feels more elastic, plump, and hydrated, while wrinkles will take on a noticeably smoother appearance. And—here’s the real homerun—results will last for several hours. As for me, I’ll be applying a shot of this stuff morning, noon, and night—yep, it works over makeup, too.
