My thoughts on Banish Oil
This is one of my least favorite products from the starter kit and I really cant say what it is doing to my skin. In the beginning I used it in the evening but I really didn’t like how it felt on my skin.
The banish oil seems to penetrate my skin but it leaves a tacky feeling on my skin that I really don’t like. Often oils don’t penetrate completely on my skin but they usually don’t leave a tacky feeling behind, more an oily feeling.
It comes in a glass jar, which is a really nice and common packaging type for this type of product. It is easy to get the amount just right.
I said that I used the oil at nigh in the beginning, but I ended up using it only after I have been using the Banisher (which is once a week). Simply because it was recommended and that I didn’t want to use it more often due to the tacky feeling.
As for its effect on my skin. It is actually impossible to say since I only used it after using the Banisher. It does contain Vitamin C and it is a really good ingredient to use in your skincare if you have hyperpigmentation (which I have) or acne scars.
Conclusion
This is really not a product for me. I will continue using it since I will continue with the needling. Other than that it is not a product I will repurchase. And when a price tag is this high I would expect more
from it.
I give this product 1/7
