Ellen’s advice
How to choose
This collection is for skin that turns red quickly, stings or reacts to heat, cold, wind or the wrong products. Often the skin barrier is weakened. A calm routine with soothing ingredients such as niacinamide (vitamin B3), azelaic acid and plant extracts makes your skin less reactive with consistent use.
Build your routine:
- Cleanse: a gentle cleanser, such as PCA Creamy Cleanser, Esthederm Lait Démaquillant Désensibilisant or Self Gentle Purifying Cleanser.
- Serum: PCA Anti-Redness Serum or Dual Action Redness Relief, or Routinely Barrier Boost B3, Soothing 5-Plant Extract or 360° Azelaic Acid.
- Moisturiser: PCA ReBalance or the Mokosh Young soothing and regenerating face cream.
- SPF: every morning, for example PCA Sheer Tint SPF45 or Esthederm No Sun Mineral SPF50+.
Avoid alcohol, fragrance and harsh scrubs. To camouflage redness straight away, use the Make Up For Ever Redness Correcting Primer. Not sure which routine suits your skin? Take the free skin analysis.

Who helps you?
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.
