FAQs
-
Absolutely. Dark Spot Milky Serum was designed to fit seamlessly into an acne routine. Just avoid layering it at the same time as strong exfoliating acids or retinoids if your skin is easily sensitized — alternating is a great approach.
-
Yes. By helping keep pores clear with consistent exfoliation, this serum supports both treating active breakouts and helping prevent new ones from forming.
-
Blemish Control & Exfoliating Serum has been clinically-proven to clear active acne in as little as two weeks with consistent use.
-
Apply Dark Spot Milky Serum after cleansing and before moisturizer. If you’re layering treatments, use thinner formulas first and always finish with SPF in the morning — protecting your skin is key when targeting dark spots.
-
We recommend using it morning and night. But if you’re acne-prone or have a compromised skin barrier, consider skipping your morning cleanse to avoid over-drying. A splash of lukewarm water is all you need :)
-
Nope—and that’s intentional. We left out acne actives like salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide for two reasons: (1) If you're already using acne treatments in your routine, doubling up can compromise your barrier. (2) Leave-on products work better for acne actives—a cleanser is only on your skin for a few seconds, so any benefits would wash away before they can do their job.
-
Nope! This product won’t stain or bleach your clothes, towels, or bedding. It’s made with sulfur, which doesn’t have bleaching properties. Most spot treatments that stain contain benzoyl peroxide.
-
Yes! Sulfur plays well with others. You can pair it with ingredients like salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, or retinoids to boost results—just keep an eye on how your skin reacts.

- MDMelissa D.ReviewingDark Spot Milky SerumI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars2 days agoDelivers without irritation
Hyperpigmentation is one of skincare's most stubborn challenges. Banu's Dark Spot Milky Serum reads like a direct response to that frustration, built around a tight, intentional trio of brightening actives that each pull their weight. Tranexamic acid at 3% leads the formula, working at the melanin-production stage to visibly fade existing dark spots and post-acne marks rather than simply masking them. Alpha arbutin at 2% layers in targeted brightening and hyperpigmentation correction, and niacinamide rounds out the cast by smoothing and evening overall tone and texture as the quiet supporting character that pitches in and makes everyone else look better. What distinguishes Banu’s serum from the crowded brightening serum category is not just the results, but also the the brand's meticulous approach to testing their formulations; every formula is built to be acne-safe and non-comedogenic, clinically tested across all six Fitzpatrick skin types, and formulated without pore-clogging ingredients. The milky texture lives up to its name, absorbing cleanly without heaviness or residue. Despite my skin being prone to redness, I benefitted from Dark Spot Milky Serum without any irritation. Best suited for those managing post-breakout marks, sun-induced discoloration, or uneven tone on acne-prone skin, this is a workhorse formulation that delivers.

- JGJustine G.ReviewingDark Spot Milky SerumI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars2 days agoBanu post ache marks and hyperpigmentation serum
Banu dark spot milky serum for post acne marks and hyperpigmentation has helped my skin so much. Been on a hunt for a product to help with my acne marks and hyperpigmentation for my skin. Since I've been using this face serum I’ve noticed it has calmed down my post ache marks that take a long time to disappear and helped my hyperpigmentation that I’ve struggled with for a long time. I have some dark discoloration on my chin and this really helps minimize the dark hyperpigmentation that I’ve been trying so hard to get rid of for a while now. I’ve also noticed since I’ve been using this serum that it has helped calm my ache so much. As soon as I see an ache scar that’s taking forever to heal I put Banu on the ache spot and within a few minutes of using this I have see a huge difference. This stuff is amazing highly recommend it.

- LFLarissa F.ReviewingDark Spot Milky SerumI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars3 days agoLightweight serum, visible results
I’ve been using the Banuskin Dark Spot Milky Serum twice daily after cleansing for a few weeks. The texture is lightweight and milky, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t feel sticky or heavy on my oily skin.I didn’t experience irritation or breakouts, and my post-acne marks gradually started to look lighter. My skin tone looks more even, especially around my cheeks.It’s not an overnight treatment, but as a daily brightening serum it’s very comfortable to use and layers well with moisturizer and sunscreen.
