BANO It's Real Whitening Serum Review | Banobagi Skincare

Annyeong, Everyone~

WHAT IT IS

💙FREE of 11 Chemical Ingredients

💙Contains Alaska Glacier Water

💙Contains DEOXY ARBUTIN which has a strong whitening effect - also contains 4 complex of whitening ingredients to make skin clearer and cleaner with every step

💙Alaska Glacier Water is used instead of purified water because it is rich in minerals, provides deep hydration and nutrition and helps to keep skin looking clean and healthy.

💙Features a pump dispenser
💙Serum is 40ml but it is packaged in a bottle that is sized for 100ml products

CONSISTENCY

💙Clear gel-like

💙Scentless

💙Absorbs fully and fast into skin without leaving any stickiness

💙Lightweight

I actually tried a sample of it before sent by the company as well and I'm liking it at the first try because it was scentless, sinks into my skin fully and doesn't break me out. I told BANO about my first impression of it and they sent me the full size to test out the product longer! I also wanted to see how the whitening effect is if used in the long term. I like whitening products because I always wanted to lighten my post-acne marks.

A following/follower of mine on Instagram (@seoul.fleur) documented that her post-acne marks showed improvement in 2 weeks by using this serum, you can read her thoughts on this serum on her Instagram~ I documented mine as well, I think that comparing a product's progression/improvement with photos are clearer than just noting it inside my mind. I try to remember to take progression photos always~

LEFT CHEEK

I started using this serum diligently day and night starting on the 17th of July. I don't really see much difference what the serum does to my left cheek.

RIGHT CHEEK

On my right cheek is where I think the effect of the whitening serum shows. I started using the serum diligently day and night starting on the 17th July and a week after that (24th July) the red marks at the bottom looked lightened~ then 2 weeks later, they started to decrease in size. Overall it seems that the lightening and clearing the skin process took about 4 weeks. The new acne accompanied by the red marks too was lightened.

💙The serum is moisturizing and can contribute to hydration but using it alone as a moisturizer isn't enough.

💙Additionally I can't find the full ingredients list of the serum. I don't know the percentage of the Deoxy Arbutin being used and if there are any other whitening ingredients or if the whitening ingredients are listed low.

MY FINAL THOUGHTS

💙Based on the 'photo diary', it seems that the whitening serum is working BUT I personally think that the process is slow. Additionally, some of products I implemented into my skincare routine also helped with improving the post acne marks, so I think using the whitening serum alone to lighten spots won't be much of a help.

💙I liked the serum's consistency, it was perfect for my oily skin but for the effects...I'm more pleased by something thats worthy. For a whitening serum that costs USD 49, ONLY 40ml and works slowly (extra effective if combined with other whitening products), I personally think it isn't doing much. I actually would like to purchase the whitening serum IF only it was cheaper, about USD 10~15 or less.

💙I do not see my point of purchasing this expensive serum when there are other cheaper and effective (spot) whitening serums. I'll pass on this one.

Thank you, BANO for sending me the full size of the serum for me to try out longer!

Second The Face Shop Haul + Mini Review

The Haul Finally, I am able to post about my second The Face Shop Haul in this blog! This post must have been overdue because I bought the items on 30th October 2015. But whatever, let me show you what I've gotten! I have gotten myself a total of 6 items. The other two are free. The freebies are the birthday gifts which consist of an aloe face mask and urgh.....verbena samples again (you know I hate the scent alot as mentioned on THIS post. But I used them anyway because it would be such a waste to not use it). My birthday falls on the next day so I decided to retrieve the birthday gifts in advance. The other freebie is the Cherry Blossom hair mist which I have gotten for purchasing above BND 49.00. It smells so heavenly! Guys would definitely fall for the scent, haha. The face mask packaging has my boyfriend's face on it. Now let me address the pricing for every items that I've got; #1 Lovely me:ex Trendy High Shine 2-Step Nail Buffer - BND 3.90...
