banu was built around one promise: acne-safe isn’t a bonus - it’s the baseline.

After 15+ years of struggling with chronic acne and realizing that most skincare made things worse, our founder Roz Samimi set out to create something different: skincare that didn’t just treat acne, but supported long-term skin health without compromise. That meant leaving out pore-clogging and fungal acne-triggering ingredients, clinically testing on real people with acne-prone skin, and using actives with intention - never as a default.

Every formula is dermatologist-tested, vegan, cruelty-free, and follows the European Cosmetic Directive for ingredient safety. We test across all six Fitzpatrick skin types to ensure every product is safe for every skin tone.

At banu, our goal is to invite those with acne-prone skin into the world of beauty, not just to clear our skin, but for any other skincare goals we may have. One that’s clinically tested, uncompromisingly acne-safe, and infused with joy.

banu is exclusively available on sephora.com and banuskin.com
