FAQ
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 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.
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.
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.
Why does RENEW’s color vary?
RENEW is crafted in small batches using fresh, plant-based ingredients, which naturally vary in color from harvest to harvest. Key actives like astaxanthin, tomato, hibiscus, carrot, mountain pepper berry, Kakadu plum, and Coenzyme Q10 contribute to its hue, ranging from yellow to deep purple. Despite these fluctuations, every ingredient undergoes rigorous quality control, including certificates of analysis, safety data, and compositional breakdowns, ensuring consistent potency and efficacy in every batch. Color may shift, but performance remains uncompromised.
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.
Where does RENEW fit in my skincare routine?
Apply RENEW after cleansing and misting your face as it will deliver concentrated actives for optimal skin health. Follow with a face oil to lock in hydration and nourishment.
