In a world where skincare routines are often as complex as a symphony, Lana Banana has composed a melody of simplicity and efficacy. Lana Sayah, affectionately known as Lana Banana, has seamlessly transitioned from sharing the stage with pop icons like Dua Lipa and Kylie Minogue to collaborating with Dr. Joseph Hkeik, Australia’s most esteemed cosmetic doctor, to create a skincare line that’s as straightforward as it is transformative.
Launched in November 2024, the Lana Banana skincare range is a testament to the power of clean, effective formulations. With six products and two sets, this Australian brand is designed specifically for youthful, vibrant skin. Lana’s philosophy is clear: strip away the unnecessary and focus on what truly matters. “We do the basics, better,” she says. “Our products are clean, effective, and designed for moody skin types like acneic, irritated, or sensitive skin.”
Dr. Joseph Hkeik, with over three decades of clinical experience, echoes this sentiment. “The gap in the market was youth,” he explains. “We wanted to create formulations that protect and simple routines that are easy to incorporate into everyday life.” Together, Lana and Dr. Joseph have crafted a range that nurtures the skin barrier and restores balance, ensuring each product delivers on its promise.
The Gentle Cleanser, priced at AUD 35 for 30ml and AUD 45 for 50ml, is a no-fuss foaming cleanser that clears impurities without compromising the skin barrier. Infused with Vitamin B5, cucumber oil, and chamomile, it’s a hydration hero that soothes and refreshes, making it perfect for morning routines.
For those seeking a serious hydration punch, The Day Serum is a lightweight liquid peptide serum that deeply hydrates and promotes an even complexion. Packed with peptides, a multi-mineral blend, and marine collagen, this serum, priced at AUD 99 for 30ml, is a morning essential that leaves skin balanced and ready for the day ahead.
The Protective Moisturiser, also priced at AUD 99 for 30ml, is an AM multitasker that calms, hydrates, and defends skin from environmental stressors. With zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, and a blend of Vitamin B3 and Sea Buckthorn Oil, it’s a perfect pre-makeup primer that leaves skin smooth and radiant.
As the day winds down, The Exfoliating Cleanser, priced at AUD 35 for 30ml and AUD 45 for 50ml, gently removes impurities and decongests pores. With lactic acid, lavender tea tree, and honey myrtle essential oils, it’s the first step in your PM routine that ensures a clean, radiant complexion.
The Night Serum, priced at AUD 110 for 30ml, is a silky super-serum that resurfaces the skin, unveiling a fresh complexion by morning. With salicylic acid, mandelic acid, and Manuka honey, it’s a powerful formula that balances oil production and promotes healing.
Finally, The Light Moisturiser, priced at AUD 79 for 30ml, is a featherlight yet powerful moisturiser that soothes and shields skin from daily stress. With niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and marine collagen, it’s the final step in your PM routine that delivers long-lasting hydration.
