Banish The Starter Cleanser

Product Description: A natural cleanser that's made with no sulfates, so it doesn't foam and doesn't dry your skin!

When your skin is stripped of the natural oils, your skin will produce more oil to compensate, therefore increasing probability of clogged pores and acne. Your face will never feel tight with this cleanser! We recommend using this the day you use the Banisher and the day after.  

Review: I've been using Banish Acne Scar products for almost 2 weeks now and I'm satisfies for the fast effect of it.

There are five common skin types: normal, oily, dry, combination and sensitive. A normal skin type has good circulation and there will not be any trace of sebum (or oil) on the tissue. Normal skin is soft, with a smooth, even skin tone. An oily skin type will leave blots of facial oil on the tissue, particularly from the cheeks, nose and forehead. A dry skin type has a low level of sebum and does not maintain oil easily.  With a combination skin type oil is produced around the 'T-zone' of the nose and forehead but not on the cheeks, mouth and eye areas. Having a sensitive skin type can mean different things to different people. There are a lot of skincare products in the market but we have not try all of them to know what are products that is effective and has a lot of good benefits to our skin.
