Clinically proven.
Bakuchiol is one of the most studied plant-based actives available. At 1% concentration — the gold standard used in clinical research — it has been shown to deliver the same results as retinol for wrinkles, skin tone, elasticity, and firmness. We source only the highest quality, science-backed bakuchiol and formulate it in small batches to ensure potency in every bottle.
Bakuchiol activates the same retinol receptors in skin responsible for collagen synthesis — supporting firmness and structural integrity over time without the inflammation retinol causes.
Published clinical studies show bakuchiol at 1% is as effective as retinol for reducing fine lines, improving skin tone, and increasing elasticity — without any of the side effects that make retinol so hard to use consistently.
No adjustment period. No purging. No peeling or redness. No sun sensitivity. Renew works without the war on your skin — which means you can actually use it consistently enough to see real results.
"I formulate with 1% bakuchiol because that is the concentration the clinical research is based on. That is what is in your bottle — not a trace amount added for marketing purposes."

Use it morning, night, or both. No restrictions, no adjustment period. Start daily from day one and let the results build over time.
"Two drops. Thirty seconds. The nights you do not feel like doing your routine are the nights this matters most."
-
1Cleanse and mist first
Melt to cleanse, Dew on damp skin. Renew absorbs best into clean pH-balanced skin so never skip these two steps.
-
2Two to three drops warmed in your palms
Rub your palms together to warm the serum. The frankincense and jasmine will bloom. Press into your face and neck while skin is still slightly damp from Dew.
Press and hold 10 seconds rather than rubbing -
3Let it absorb — 60 seconds
Give it a full minute before anything else. In the morning follow with SPF. At night layer Glow over Renew if your skin needs extra hydration — it absorbs beautifully on top.
AM follow with SPF · PM layer Glow if needed -
4Use every day — morning, night, or both
Unlike retinol there are zero restrictions on when you use Renew. No sun sensitivity, no rest days needed. The more consistently you use it the more the results compound over time.
No adjustment period — daily from day one
