Episode Details

Daisy Jing struggled with cystic acne all her life. She remembered being called ‘pizza face’ and slathering tons of products on her face to get rid of her acne. It seemed like the more products she tried, the worse her acne became. Nothing seemed to work. Daisy went to Duke University in hopes of becoming a dermatologist so she could help others. During her time at Duke, researched skincare and realized many skincare have unnecessary ingredients, like fragrance, fillers, mineral oil, etc. that made the product feel good upon application, but have no skin benefits. Banish was the first brand to normalize at home microneedling, along with one of the first brands to advocate for no fragrance in skincare. The products are freshly made in small batches and products are made to order, therefore you can only purchase them directly on their website, banish.com. Banish’s top seller is their patented Banisher Acne Scar removal tool. Moreover, Banish is the leader of the skin positivity movement, normalizing acne and textured skin on all their campaigns. Daisy launched the brand Banish out of her kitchen and bootstrapped a now multimillion dollar business from the ground up. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/skincareanarchy/message
