IREN Skincare Review: 6 Products You Need in Your Beauty Stash

The way we see it, homegrown brands and clean beauty have come to steal the spotlight. While one might think that finding a local skincare brand promises clean and green beauty can be a never-ending hunt, IREN Skincare invites you to think again. The brainchild of leading Japanese spa in Singapore, Ikeda Spa Group, IREN Skincare is spearheading the clean skin revolution and they spare no effort to delivering happy skin. Here, Beauty Insider gives the complete lowdown of our IREN Skincare review for your perusal. 

Skin Vaporizer Nano Face Spray

Hailed as the world’s first beauty device that nebulises skincare products, the Skin Vaporizer Nano Face Spray. Ideal for the skincare aficionado who is always on-the-go, this spray breaks down your serum into nano-sized particles to quench the thirst of nutrient-deprived skin with one spritz. Plus, this bad boy promises to enhance product absorption, thanks to its nanotechnology-powered formula. 

Here is what we love about this product:

• Travel-friendly (and it’s lightweight too!)
• Prevents bacteria from coming into contact with your face 
• Compatible with most water-based skincare products

Unlike most face mists, what we love about this spray is that allows for faster penetration, thanks to its ability to nano-size products. Plus, you will only need to recharge it once every two weeks, so you can spare yourself the hassle of charging it too often!

“I actually really love this device not only for your skincare but makeup too! Can you imagine – you can actually airbrush your foundation and liquid makeup products and it applies effortlessly and really well,” says one reviewer.
