My Acne Story, PLUS How to Banish Acne Scars & Regain Your Confidence This Fall (Sponsored)
Nothing kills your confidence quite like severe acne. I know this firsthand.
Throughout high school, I struggled with severe cystic breakouts that had me bouncing around from dermatologist to dermatologist, trying every treatment under the sun, and stockpiling concealer like they were going to stop making it. When nothing worked, I finally turned to the harshest possible prescription remedy (the one with a million scary warnings about birth defects on the label). It was effective, but it only brought my breakouts down to a “normal” level — it didn’t get rid of them entirely, and I was still left with a face full of pockmarks and red scars. These took years to clear and left me feeling like I still had acne, even though my skin had cleared up.
I really wish that Banish had been around back then. It would have saved me so much struggle and misery.
Banish skincare is a brand founded by a girl like me — someone who struggled with horrible cystic breakouts and tried every treatment around with no success. Banish’s CEO Daisy (pictured above) gets what it’s like to live with severe acne, and her line of products reflects this.
Daisy shares her acne journey in the video below:
How I Started Banish Skincare
Daisy started the company to sell a Vitamin C serum she made herself to treat acne scars, and the rest is history — the company expanded like crazy and boasts fans in the hundreds of thousands!
Banish is all about helping people feeling comfortable in their own skin, positivity and spreading confidence. And their products are pretty awesome, as well.

About Banish’s Products
Banish is well known for their Vitamin C serum and Banisher derma roller, which Banish recommends customers use together — they claim these products, in conjunction, will help treat acne and reduce the appearance of acne scars. According to Banish, the use of the Banish Oil (Vitamin c Serum) and Banisher combination helps with collagen building to fade the appearance of acne scars.
