STRENGTHENS BARRIER

"Honestly life changing. I’ve been dealing with acne and sensitive skin issues since I was 13 and have truly never found a good regimen until discovering LINNÉ." - Sophie

ADVANTAGES

BALANCE supports harmony in blemish-prone skin. By addressing linoleic acid deficiency and leveraging black cumin seed oil’s omega-6 profile, it helps regulate sebum production and accelerate repair. Antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and regenerative botanicals work synergistically to calm breakouts and support healing.

ORIGINS

BALANCE was created to help the founder’s younger sister, who struggled with painful cystic acne. Determined to soothe her skin without harsh, stripping treatments, she formulated a face oil—despite her sister’s initial hesitation about using oils for acne. With time, trust, and the right ingredients, the results spoke for themselves. Her sister now enjoys clear, radiant skin, as do countless LINNÉ loyalists.

INSTRUCTIONS

Morning and night, massage at least one pump of BALANCE onto the face and neck. For best results, mix with or apply after LINNÉ RENEW face serum (Step IV) to create a luxurious emulsion that boosts absorption and provides optimal slip for a nourishing facial massage.

May also be used to condition ends of hair and facial hair. Store out of direct sunlight to preserve potency.

A Routine For BALANCE

BALANCE - Make It A Routine

BALANCE Face Oil is a lightweight, nutrient-dense moisturizer that restores clarity and equilibrium. For best results, pair it with PURIFY Face Wash and RENEW Face Serum to create a complete, layered system that refines texture, supports the microbiome, and promotes calm, radiant skin.

Step 1: Apply PURIFY Face Wash onto damp skin for a gentle daily cleanse, or onto dry skin as a refining mask. This mineral-rich formula detoxifies pores, balances sebum, and softens the skin without stripping essential moisture. Rinse well and pat dry.

Step 2: Dispense 2 pumps of RENEW Serum into your palm. This brightening, antioxidant-rich formula refines texture, supports cellular renewal, and restores clarity while delivering weightless hydration.

Step 3: Add 1 pump of BALANCE Oil, blending it with RENEW in your palm. Together, they provide lightweight nourishment that helps regulate oil production, reinforce the barrier, and promote a smooth, luminous complexion. Massage the blend onto the face and neck with lifting and contouring motions to encourage lymphatic drainage and enhance radiance.

The result: clear, calm, and harmoniously balanced skin — hydrated, refined, and glowing with natural vitality.

FAQs

What is the difference between BALANCE, REPAIR & REPLENISH?

BALANCE was crafted for oily or blemish-prone skin, while REPAIR was formulated for skin that leans towards dryness, or requires extra care for concerns like sunburn, scars, or hyperpigmentation. REPAIR features rich and deeply nourishing seed and nut oils paired with regenerative, anti-inflammatory essential oils sourced from the roots, rhizomes, and bark of plants, resulting in a warm and woodsy aroma. BALANCE, on the other hand, is made with sebum-regulating seed and nut oils along with antiseptic, anti-bacterial, and anti-inflammatory essential oils derived from the aerial parts of plants, offering an herbaceous and bright scent. Many LINNÉ loyalists enjoy using both oils for a customized regimen that adapts to their skin's changing needs, while others prefer BALANCE in the morning and REPAIR at night.

What is face oil?

Face oils are powerful skincare essentials, acting as emollients to nourish and soften and occlusives to lock in moisture and strengthen the skin barrier. But not all face oils are created equal—many contain low-grade, processed oils and fillers that dilute their effectiveness. BALANCE stands apart with a synergistic blend of biocompatible, active botanicals designed to restore harmony to blemish-prone skin. It regulates sebum production, clears pores, and delivers omega-6-rich oils like black cumin seed to replenish linoleic acid, a key component often deficient in acne-prone skin. Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory ingredients further combat breakouts, while regenerative compounds support scar healing. Free from unnecessary fillers, BALANCE is crafted to work with the skin, not against it, delivering deep nourishment, clarity, and resilience without disrupting its natural equilibrium.

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.

Where does BALANCE fit in my skincare routine?

BALANCE is a Step V oil. For best results, use it after cleansing, misting, and applying serums to maximize absorption and barrier support. It can be used morning and night or as needed for extra replenishment.
