How to choose
A serum is a concentrated treatment you apply after cleansing and before your moisturiser. It targets 1 skin concern. Here you’ll find serums from PCA Skin, Institut Esthederm, Routinely, Mokosh and Self, among others.
How to choose for your skin:
- Dry skin: a hyaluronic acid serum, which attracts moisture and holds it in your skin.
- Pigmentation or dull skin: a vitamin C serum, in the morning and always with SPF on top.
- Fine lines: peptides or retinol. Use retinol only in the evening and build up slowly.
- Blemishes and large pores: niacinamide, which calms redness, refines pores and regulates oil production.
- Redness: a calming serum, such as PCA Anti-Redness Serum or Routinely Barrier Boost B3.

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.
