Jenna & Problem Skin (POD, seborrhea & rosacea)

Laponie was born out of our founder Kristina’s need to find products for her sensitive and challenging skin, and now our mission is to help you take care of your skin the right way. We recently asked our customers to take part in a three-week-long Laponie test group, in which we created a customised and individual, daily skincare routine to tackle different skin issues and problems. This is Jenna’s story about how our products worked for her rather challenging skin.

Jenna has suffered from different skin issues for some two years. She’s tried a bunch of stuff, including creams and meds, but they haven’t helped. Dermatologists have diagnosed Jenna with perioral dermatitis (POD), seborrhea and rosacea. However, the creams and cleansers meant for these conditions have not helped; they’ve in fact made Jenna’s skin worse.

“In the beginning I got red spots on my face almost daily. They were both dry and suppurative.”

We created the following routine for Jenna: our Mild Milk Cleanser to cleanse, our Balancing Esseince to hydrate, our Calming Serum to soothe and repair and to treat the red spots, and our Softening Face Oil to nourish skin.

"I used Laponie AM and PM. First the Milk, then the Essence, the Calming Serum and then the Face Oil.  After three weeks, my skin is in clearly better condition. It feels better, softer and more hydrated, and the majority of the red spots have disappeared. Some spots have popped up during the test period, but not as frequently. My skin feels soft and clean.”

You’ll find Jenna’s routine here: the Recovery Skincare Routine for Sensitised & Reactive Skin and the Calming Serum.
