If there’s one thing that keeps me sane these days, it is knowing I can at least pamper myself by going the extra mile when it comes to taking good care of my skin. It bums me out that booking a home massage is not really a good idea this season, so I make up for it by being *so extra* when it comes to my skincare routine. Staying at home has allowed me to give my skin a chance to relax more and have a reset, since I’m wearing less or no makeup at all on the daily. I soak into my self-care rituals to ward off stress, too.

That’s why when I learned that Filipino cosmetics brand Ellana has been branching out to skincare, I got so excited. After all, the brand has been known for carrying mineral makeup, or cosmetics that are gentle on the skin. Ellana Loose Mineral Foundation is a constant in my beauty stash for many years, as it feels so light on my face yet does the job of giving me a nice powder finish to hide blemishes or oily spots. So I could just imagine how that ‘mineral makeup, good on skin’ brand identity can translate into Ellana‘s line of skincare.

The Ellana Skincare products are not only 100% vegan and cruelty-free, but they are also made with pure extract bases, ensuring the maximum amount of skincare results without buffers or “fillers.”

These clean, high impact formulas are designed to gently transform the skin, soothing irritation while combating common skin issues such as acne, hyperpigmentation, dryness, skin sensitivity, and reactivity. Thanks to their concentrated formulations, each product is also designed to fulfill multiple skincare steps, allowing for a skincare routine that needs less time and fewer products. Here is Ellana‘s new series of face serums that I seriously suggest you should incorporate into your skincare routine:

Glass-C Skin Brightening Serum

One of Ellana’s newly released face serums is its Glass-C Skin Brightening Serum.

Made of 74.6% Sea Berry Extract and 15% Ascorbic Acid, this brightening serum promises brighter, “glass” skin over time.

This botanical cocktail helps repair environmental damage to skin while fading dark spots. Niacinamide helps with hyperpigmentation, while lavender and chamomile reduce reactivity, ensuring your skin is less prone to irritation. With daily use, this concentrated formula promises smooth, glowing skin over time.

Cream Skin Hydrating Serum

I don’t know about you, but a face serum that’s telling me it is going to hydrate my skin is more than enough reason for me to add cart, stat!

Made of the vegan alternative to snail mucin, the Cream Skin Hydrating Serum is ideal for those who have dry, textured, sensitive skin. Its 89% Wild Yam extract shields skin from irritation and provides intensive hydration. Panax Ginseng Root also helps protect the skin from stress and further damage.

This one is my personal fave as I truly saw that dewy glow on my face the next morning, after a night of using it. Impressive!

Clear Skin Clarifying Serum

If you are looking for a face serum that will cater to oily skin, this one is a good choice.Made of 91.6% Blueberry Extract, this blemish-fighting serum is packed with antioxidants to defend the skin against environmental stressors. As the name suggests, Clear Skin is designed for those with oily, acne-prone skin, with ingredients that help control sebum production while also preventing skin dehydration. No harsh, drying oil-control formulas here! Clear Skin ensures you have bright, glowing, and blemish-free skin with consistent use.

UPLIFT Hydrating Serum Spray

Fans of the Korean “glass skin” trend will love the UPLIFT Hydrating Serum Spray.

This baby is made of 89.9% Pomegranate Extract, along with Vitamin C, grapefruit, and Korean Bokbunja. This cocktail of botanicals helps “uplift” the skin– creating a bright, youthful, and glowing appearance.

The addition of carrot, apple, and tomato extracts help refine pores and improve overall texture. Best for dry, dull, sensitive skin, this combination face mist/moisturizer/serum is an ideal pick-me-up for the skin. What a treat!

UNWIND Clarifying Serum Spray

This clarifying serum spray is perfect for oily, acne-prone skin looking to achieve a smooth, glass-like texture.

Made of 91.6% Green Tea Extract, this face mist, serum, and moisturizer in one helps even out skin and discourages blemishes from developing. Aloe Vera and Vitamin E soothe skin, while Broccoli reduces redness, allowing you to “unwind” and experience calm, clarified skin.

Seriously, this line of face serums gives that levelled up rejuvenation onto your face with results that you can feel almost instantly. I love waking up in the morning seeing that I have a different kind of glow on my skin, plus my face looks smoother and more hydrated. This line is definitely a must-have if you are looking into really taking better care of your skin!
