Lana Banana’s Co-Founder Lana Sayah Explains
Hey beauty babes, Lana here, skincare lover and co-founder of Lana Banana.
If you’ve got oily skin and have ever said “moisturiser breaks me out” or “I don’t need it, my skin’s already greasy,” this one’s for you.
Here's the truth: even oily skin needs moisturiser, you just need the right one. Let’s talk about why ditching heavy creams in favour of a light, smart, skin-friendly formula is your best move yet.
Why Oily Skin Still Needs Moisture
I get it. When your face already feels shiny by midday, the last thing you want to do is slap on a moisturiser. But skipping this step can actually make your skin produce even more oil to compensate for dehydration. And that can lead to congestion, breakouts, and a compromised skin barrier.
What your skin really needs is hydration without heaviness. That’s where The Light Moisturiser by Lana Banana steps in.
Meet The Light Moisturiser: A Game-Changer for Oily & Acne-Prone Skin
Say goodbye to pore-clogging creams and hello to The Light Moisturiser, your daily hydrator that’s oil-free, breathable, and skin-balancing. We designed this one specifically for teen and young adult skin, with lightweight ingredients that support a healthy skin barrier without suffocating your pores.
Key ingredients include:
- Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): Helps regulate oil production, reduce redness and strengthen the skin’s barrier.
- Hyaluronic Acid: Pulls water into the skin without adding grease, giving you bounce without the shine.
- Aloe Vera: Soothes and calms, making it perfect for inflamed or sensitive skin.
- Natural Plant Extracts: Deliver nutrients without heaviness or irritation.
And of course, no artificial fragrance, no pore-clogging oils, no drama.
How to Use It in Your Routine
Using The Light Moisturiser is super simple. Here’s how I like to incorporate it into my AM and PM routines:
Morning:
- Cleanse (bonus if you’re using our Lana Banana Gentle Cleanser).
- Apply 1–2 pumps of The Day Serum to brighten and protect.
- Seal it all in with The Light Moisturiser.
- Top it off with SPF, always.
Night:
- Cleanse away the day (I recommend the Exfoliating Cleanser)
- Use The Night Serum to renew and repair overnight.
- Finish with The Light Moisturiser to hydrate and calm.
It’s the kind of product that works with your skin, not against it. You’ll wake up feeling refreshed, not greasy.
Who’s It For?
If you’ve got:
- Oily skin that’s prone to breakouts
-
Sensitive or reactive skin that hates thick formulas
- Combo skin with a greasy T-zone
- Or if you just want a moisturiser that feels like nothing, but works like everything
Then The Light Moisturiser is your new ride-or-die.
Why We Made It
At Lana Banana, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all skincare. Our products are made for young skin with real needs, not overloaded with harsh actives or heavy formulas. The Light Moisturiser was born because I couldn’t find anything that hydrated without clogging. So we made our own. And trust me, your skin will thank you.
