Ingredients
Can PURIFY be used with tretinoin or retinol?
Indeed. There are no contraindications. PURIFY should not dry or strip skin. If your skin feels dry from heavy retinol use, you can buffer it by first applying REPLENISH or BALANCE oil before layering on PURIFY. As retinols can cause dryness and flakiness we recommend applying REFRESH and/or RENEW to increase hydration.
How many days a week should you mask with PURIFY?
Depending on your skin type 1-2 days should be sufficient. If you are trying to clear acne, you can leave PURIFY on nightly as a mask for a few minutes before adding water to lather and rinse. If you are using PURIFY to maintain clear skin, once a week for 10-15 minutes is recommended.
What types of serum does RENEW replace?
RENEW combines the benefits of antioxidant, hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, niacinamide, and retinol serums into one potent formula. This multi-functional serum hydrates, brightens, evens skin tone, and refines texture, promoting youthful, clear, and radiant skin—all while remaining gentle and pregnancy-safe.
Is RENEW a Substitute for a Conventional Moisturizer?
RENEW provides deep hydration but works best when paired with a face oil to lock in moisture and nourish the skin. Unlike conventional moisturizers, which use emulsifiers to combine water and oil, RENEW + a LINNÉ face oil offer customizable hydration and barrier support—free from unnecessary additives. For optimal moisture balance: For blemish-prone skin: Pair RENEW + BALANCE For dry skin: Pair RENEW + REPAIR Together, they deliver the same benefits as a traditional moisturizer—hydration, nourishment, and protection—without compromise.
How does RENEW compare to a Vitamin C & E + Ferulic serum?
Traditional vitamin C serums, often paired with ferulic acid and vitamin E, are formulated to slow oxidation and enhance vitamin C’s efficacy. However, these formulations still rely on isolated ascorbic acid, which remains unstable and prone to degradation when exposed to light, air, and neutral pH environments—often requiring airtight, dark glass packaging and quick usage for maximum potency. RENEW takes a different, more advanced approach by delivering vitamin C in its whole-plant form through Kakadu Plum extraction. Unlike isolated ascorbic acid, whole-plant vitamin C is naturally buffered by coexisting antioxidants and bioflavonoids, making it inherently more stable, bioavailable, and less prone to oxidation. This allows for sustained potency without the need for synthetic stabilizers. Beyond vitamin C, RENEW integrates a powerful multi-functional blend of skin-renewing actives, including niacinamide (vitamin B3), white willow bark, super low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, mountain pepper berry, tomato lycopene, and CoEnzyme Q10. Together, these ingredients work synergistically to brighten, hydrate, promote cellular turnover, and strengthen the skin barrier—delivering many of the benefits of traditional vitamin C and ferulic acid formulas but in a more stable, bioavailable, and well-rounded formulation that is also gentle and pregnancy-safe.
Is RENEW approved for pregnancy?
RENEW is formulated with botanical actives that replicate retinol’s effects, stimulating cellular turnover, gentle exfoliation, wrinkle reduction, and skin brightening—all without irritation. While delivering retinol-like benefits, RENEW contains no retinol, making it safe for conception, pregnancy, and nursing. RENEW has undergone rigorous third-party testing for pregnancy safety and is trusted by many mothers, including the founders of Lily & Horn, one of New York City’s leading holistic fertility clinics.
Will oil cause breakouts?
Not all oils are created equal—some can clog pores, while others help balance and support the skin. The right oils, like jojoba and hazelnut, regulate sebum production, keeping skin hydrated, not greasy. Research shows that acne-prone skin lacks linoleic acid, an essential fatty acid. BALANCE replenishes this with omega-6-rich black cumin seed oil, helping to rebalance skin and prevent breakouts. Antiseptic, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory botanicals further combat pimples and blackheads, while regenerative ingredients aid in healing acne scars. If your skin is oily or acne-prone, BALANCE is the perfect choice to restore clarity without stripping moisture.
Can I use BALANCE on my hair?
