I’m very clog-prone while having combo/dry skin. Many BHA treatments leave my skin dry and flaky the very next day. I can assure you that with multiple uses of this serum, it doesn’t dry my skin out & gets my stubborn comedones.

This has really helped me with my blemishes. Since using this product I don’t have near as many break outs. This is not greasy.
This serum is amazing! It’s super gentle on my skin but effective. I highly recommend this is you’re suffering from breakouts!
My skin feels so soft after I use it ! I just love this
I’m in love with this exfoliating serum. It keeps my skin clear and glowing. I find it to be hydrating as well. My skin doesn’t feel dry or get red and flaky. It’s gentle, but does the job. I used it daily along with the entire Banu line. It’s my favorite! ❤️
I’ve been using this product for over a year and absolutely love it! It’s a staple in my nighttime skincare routine. I started by using it twice per week, then went up to every other day, and now I use it every night. I notice a clear difference in my skin when I use it (no pun intended!) especially in the summer when my skin tends to get more clogged with sweat. I used to get lots of small bumps on my jawline and forehead and this serum has gotten rid of them almost completely!
My skin has been LOVING the Banu exfoliating serum lately. It gives me that smooth fresh face without making my skin feel stripped or angry after. It’s def one of those products where your skin looks healthier and glowy over time instead of overnight fake results. 10/10 recommend.
At 74, I'm still acne-prone. AHA products help a lot, but I still have areas that need a little more exfoliation. Based on reviews, I tried this Banu product that combines AHA and BHA, and I"m sold. After just a few days of morning use, my skin is more clear and smoother, and I've not experienced any negative side effects. A little expensive, but worth it.
I’ve been using this serum consistently for a few weeks and it has quickly become one of my favorite treatments for breakouts and skin texture. The combination of AHA and BHA works really well to keep pores clear while gently exfoliating the surface of the skin. The 2% salicylic acid helps reduce active blemishes and congestion, especially in areas like the T-zone. The texture is lightweight and absorbs quickly without leaving a sticky residue, which makes it easy to layer with other skincare products. I also noticed that it helps smooth the skin over time and gives a more even, refined look to the complexion. #tyb #gloryr
This brand is a great for acne prone skin so I knew I was gonna love this serum. It’s gentle but effective on the skin. It helps to clear and exfoliate the skin.
