LANA Age Defying Face & Body Soap Review

It’s my first time to see this brand, I swear! I’ve tried a lot of soaps as I’m very experimental and I get drawn easily to products with catchy words like “whitening”, “rejuvenating”, “beautifying” … So, seeing LANA, I immediately searched for it. Mr. Google pointed me to their website at https://lana.ph . Their claim: “Lana PH is a skin-care line that defends your skin from the damage caused by pollution. Each product is intricately curated with premium ingredients to treat your skin with the best care it deserves. It’s all-natural, non-comedogenic, cruelty-free and proudly made in the Philippines.”

LANA Age Defying Face & Body Soap Review

The Packaging

It comes wrapped in transparent plastic with a paper enclosure. Written at the back are the ingredients: water, goat’s milk, bearberry extract, glycolic acid, titanium dioxide and vitamin B3. When you unwrap it, there’s this tagline “LIVE WHAT YOU LOVE”. Hmmm… like we need to get reminded everytime we take a bath? lolz

I tried to check on some of the ingredients and what they claim to do.

Goat’s milk – best for dry, sensitive skin; moisturizes, removes dead skin cells

Bearberry extract – with anti-oxidant properties; helps prevents visible signs of aging

Glycolic acid – most effective for treating fine lines, acne, blackheads, dullness; exfoliates

Titanium dioxide – white mineral pigment found in nature in the form of minerals; lightens the color of soap, when added.

Pros

• Mildly scented (light minty scent)

• Lathers up easily

• Tightening effect after drying

• Exfoliates and lightens skin

• No clogging of pores, did not cause breakout

Cons

• Melts easily like any other natural soap
• Stings on some parts of my skin
• Expensive (costs P250 based on website)

I have used it for about six days now, day and night, on my whole body. I saw some improvements on my skin’s texture because it feels smoother and cleaner, same feeling I get when I use bath salt. It also lightened some of my hyperpigmentations. I can’t say much yet on the age-defying part ‘coz I haven’t seen significant changes yet. I’ll try to finish it up but I have to re-think like ten times if I’ll buy it  too expensive… also considering that the soap is only about 1/3 of its original size now! Nahhh… I’ll move on to Pond’s ReGEN Day cream maybe. 
