Want to work on lines and spots, but find rich creams too heavy? This light emulsion with pure retinol and bakuchiol suits combination to oily skin.
Frequently asked questions
The actives are the same. The emulsion is lighter and suits combination to oily skin. The cream is richer, for normal to dry skin.
Yes, if you build up very slowly. Start with 1 evening a week and apply your cream first as a buffer. Redness or flaking? Take a few evenings off.
No. Don't use retinol while pregnant or breastfeeding.
Retinol helps the skin renew itself, so texture feels smoother after a few months. Patience and consistency matter more than using a lot.

I'm Ellen, the Ellen behind LLN.beauty (say it as Ellen beauty). Beauty therapist since 2003, with my online beauty store since 2008. In 2019 I trained in orthomolecular therapy at KPNI, to tackle skin problems from the inside as well.
For years I treated clients in my salon. I stopped, because a treatment only works for a short while. Lasting results come from the basics you do yourself at home. That's why I now help you with a routine you'll actually stick to.
Which routine do you want to tackle first?
