Before becoming a beauty entrepreneur, Yen played the villain Vypra on the television series Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue. Wearing heavy stage makeup for long hours on set severely damaged her skin, leaving her with sensitive skin, chronic breakouts, hives, and rosacea. "I tried and tested every product on the market," she recalls, "and nothing worked."
Frustrated, she turned to a trusted source instead: her grandmother's time-honored beauty rituals. "My grandmother always had beautiful skin and a simple approach to her beauty regimen," Yen explains. "Growing up, she always drank white tea infused with blue lotus, and washed her face with soymilk." That personal quest for relief blossomed into a mission, and Purlisse was born.
The name says as much as the product does — Purlisse is drawn from the French words pur (pure) and lisse (smooth), a commitment to pure, effective ingredients that deliver calm, healthy skin. Today the line sits at the intersection of her grandmother's wisdom and modern French skincare technology.
