Mario Badescu : Drying Lotion

This is a great overnight solution to a breakout that needs to be fixed. Any time I've discovered a new pimple (even if it's underneath the skin), I've applied the solution to the spot with a cotton swab and received great results in the morning!! Some downfalls to this product are that it can SERIOUSLY dry out your skin; USE SPARINGLY. Also, it doesn't correct redness of breakouts, sadly...but it's perfect for any emergency! It's also possible to wear underneath your makeup.

the only thing this drying lotion is good for is white heads, especially the small to medium sized ones. They really dry them out overnight and when i wash my face in the morning the dried out whiteheads go away!!!

Though this doesn't work to prevent acne, I found it works really well at drying up and reducing redness and swelling of any existing acne spots that I have. If I can catch a pimple early enough and apply this, it can be gone overnight.

I bought this and was really excited to try it out as I heard a lot of talk about it on youtube. I was really impressed about the Mario Badescu line and how its organic too. I found this product to work quite well. I started using it before I decided to go on the acne.org regimen. I have the type of acne where I get quite a bit on my cheek and chin area and my breakouts seem to like to stick around for a long time and it takes a while for them to go away. This really helped my redness go down over-night and helped sooth and get rid of my spots. However, because I have the type of acne that sticks around for a while, I had to use this pretty much every night so I didn't think that was good. I used an entire bottle within a month and a half. I will repurchase this as I liked it a lot and my acne is more under control now (THANKS TO ACNE.ORG) that I might use this as an extra backup treatment. I think this would be a great product for people who only get some break-outs now and then. Great for around the time of month if your acne is hormonally involved. I only gave this 4/5 because it didn't suit my acne to a tea but overall it would be a 5/5 because I think it's a great product and I do like it quite a bit.

Just started using this 4 days ago and the the couple of spots I had are dried up and gone. Make sure to use it sparingly and only apply it to the affected area. It contains sulfur and a few other ingredients that can be drying, so make sure to only use it as a spot treatment.

I expected it to be better considering the price I payed for it. It did work well, although it took too long to actually eliminate the spot. I would recommend it if you're willing to pay that much.

This product is great if you know how to use it, but in the hands of an impatient or anxious acne sufferer can be dangerous. This product ONLY works on superficial pimples that have a head near the surface of the skin. Deep pimples will not be affected, and you will only dry out the skin. ONLY apply this product until the pimple is no longer painful/active. There might still be a residual bump or red mark, but that will heal on its own once the underlying problem is addressed. Applying this product after that will only irritate and try out the skin further. Remember, you do NOT need to have a glob of spot treatment on every imperfection on your skin. If you feel like having something there will stop you from picking at pimples, I would recommend the Korean acne dots (you can find them at most drugstores or Amazon).

I struggle with under skin pimples and for sure it helped in the process of healing. I only used it one time, leaving it over night on the affected areas, and in the morning my inflammation was significantly reduced. So far, I see it did its job even if it is recommended for white-headed pimples that can be easily squeezed.
