Banila Co

I've been using these for a little over a month now, both in the morning and sometimes in the afternoon. The jar is colorful and pretty. There’s a little clip in the lid to take out the pads. Really hygienic and smart! The pads have a textured side that you use first, and then the smooth side. It’s mildly exfoliating and removes dead skin cells. The pads have no direct scent, possibly a light citrusy scent. My skin, which easily reacts and gets irritated, has really liked these 🥰 And it’s no easy task to get my skin to like a new product, I can promise you that! The skin is left with a nice glow and doesn’t feel tight or dry at all. 💖 My skin is combination with a tendency for oily skin in the T-zone and dry on the cheeks and around the nose. I have fine lines on my forehead, around my eyes, and at my mouth. Nothing I want to get rid of, but I don’t mind if they are less visible 😜 I’ve had acne but have almost gotten rid of it thanks to isotretinoin. My biggest fear is always that some new product will trigger those little devils to come back. I have larger pores on my forehead, on and around my nose, and on my chin. They have become less visible with the right products. I have never had any procedures or injections. 🫙 Nice and sleek packaging 👃 Smells almost like nothing, very light citrus scent. 🪄 The effect is soft, clean, and glowing skin #lykoreview #lykomission

It is a lovely somewhat cooling spray as it says, but if you spray a little too often throughout the day, it feels a bit on the skin... I think it suits someone who is dry-skinned, but expect that it feels on the skin after x number of applications. Plus for the spray nozzle that gives a very nice mist without wetting the makeup, I have it in front of my computer when I play computer games and do a long skincare routine with a mask and the whole shebang, and it sits there on my desk too.

Bought the Banila Co Clean It Zero Cleansing Balm Nourishing (100 ml) – and I loved it! It's economical and gentle on the skin. I have oily but dehydrated skin that has been incredibly hard to balance, largely because I've previously received tips on cleansers that didn't suit me. I've tried so much, but this one is truly the best. It removes all makeup without drying out the skin – for real. Many other products, especially those from the pharmacy, have dried out my skin, but this 👌🏼 really delivers on its promises. The only negative is the packaging. I would prefer it in a simple tube instead of a jar. It takes up way too much space in my toiletry bag, and it feels impractical to have to bring the whole jar when I travel. I also don't like using the spatula (which does come with it) to scoop out the product – I just want to be able to squeeze out what I need and move on. This is without a doubt the best facial cleanser I've used so far. I won't buy it again solely because of the packaging – but every time I look for a new cleanser, I always compare it to this one.
