Lana Banana’s Co-Founder Lana Sayah Explains
Hi skin-lovers, it’s Lana on all things glow. Today, we’re talking about one of my all-time favourite skincare ingredients: Vitamin C. If you’ve ever dreamt of radiant, even, protected skin (honestly, who hasn’t?), then buckle up, because this one’s for you.
Let’s dive into why Vitamin C serums are a must in every skincare routine, especially for Aussies dealing with the sun.
What Makes Vitamin C So Good for Your Skin?
Vitamin C is more than just an immune booster, it’s a skincare powerhouse. Scientifically known as ascorbic acid, this antioxidant-rich vitamin works hard behind the scenes to brighten, protect and heal your skin.
Here’s what it does:
- Brightens dull skin by reducing pigmentation and dark spots.
-
Boosts collagen production, giving you firmer, bouncier skin.
-
Fights free radicals (those pesky molecules from pollution and UV exposure that speed up aging).
-
Calms inflammation, which is amazing if you struggle with redness or post-breakout marks.
And the best part? It plays really well with other ingredients like niacinamide and hyaluronic acid, which you’ll find in our own superstar product, The Day Serum.
Meet The Day Serum: Your Daily Dose of Vitamin C
At Lana Banana, we created The Day Serum as your morning superhero. Think of it like your AM coffee, but for your face!
It’s lightweight, absorbs quickly, and gives you that glowy, lit-from-within look without being greasy. I like to think of it as the glow-up serum that works even when you’re still half-asleep.
How to Use Vitamin C Serum Like a Pro
Consistency is key! Here’s my foolproof morning routine:
-
Cleanse with a gentle cleanser (our Gentle Cleanser is the perfect travel-size option!).
-
Apply 1-2 pumps of The Day Serum to dry skin.
- Let it absorb for 30 seconds (enjoy your coffee while it works its magic).
-
Follow with a good moisturiser with SPF, I recommend the Lana Banana Day Set for the full glow-boosting effect.
Pro tip: Always use Vitamin C in the morning, its antioxidant properties protect your skin during the day when it’s most exposed to damage.
Who Should Use Vitamin C?
Honestly? Everyone. Whether you’re dealing with acne scars, dullness, redness or just want that healthy bounce, Vitamin C is your go-to. It’s gentle, effective and perfect for young skin, stressed skin, and everything in between.
Why We Love It at Lana Banana
At Lana Banana, we don’t do fluff or filler ingredients. Our Day Serum was carefully formulated with ingredients backed by science, and yes, that includes Vitamin C in a stable, skin-loving concentration. It’s part of our belief that smart skincare should be easy, fun and seriously effective.
So if you’ve been wondering whether Vitamin C is worth the hype, here’s your answer: absolutely yes. And The Day Serum is the easiest (and chicest) way to get started.
You’re one serum away from glowier, happier skin.
