Mario Badescu Drying Lotion (Glass bottle) 29ml

To put it simply, this is the best product I've tried for spots. It beats all the face washes, creams, scrubs I have ever wasted money on, and is better than the stuff i got on prescription from the doctor. Finally found something that actually works! I've used it for only about 2 nights, and there is already improvement. The drying lotion manages to dry up the spot, but without drying up the skin around it. It reduces breakouts and a little bit of redness too. It looks VERY weird compared to other stuff, and you end up with pink smears on your face, but if your going to bed it doesn't really matter does it? The only bad point (but not enough to lose a star) is the smell. When you first put it on your skin there is a very sulfuric smell, but this goes when it dries. I am definately going to buy more Mario Badescu products.

I never write reviews, but this product just surprised me. I didn’t look at the size before I bought it so I was shocked to see 29ml, I thought it was at least 50. But a little goes a long way. I’ve used this overnight for a few days now and I can already see a difference in my breakouts. It’s expensive for a small bottle but the difference is outstanding. 10/10 would buy again.

This product is really good. At first I was quite sceptical but I’ve been using it for a week now and it has quite helped with my problem. I rarely get spots but for some time now, I’ve been getting really red and sore spots just near my hair line on my temple, the spots are under the skin with no heads. After the first day of using it, it had completely gotten rid of the redness and soreness and the spots were visibly smaller, it had totally helped. The only thing I would say however, is that it smells really strong and if can be quite powerful at times but if you can ignore it, it’s fine. Would recommend😁

Couldn't recommend this stuff enough !! I had never found a product that has actually done what it says on the tin or believed girls that say they put pimple cream on and it's gone by the morning - this just doesn't happen in real life BUT now it does :). To use: do not shake the bottle, allow the two different substances to separate. I use a cotton bud / q tip to reach the pink substance at the bottom and simple dab onto my pimple after I have washed my face (before bed) and when I wake up in the morning the pimple has gone considerably down. Albeit the redness is still there where the pimple has been, this still might take a couple of days to disappear depending on your skintone but the pimple itself has gone down.

Seeing all the amazing reviews I was so eager to try this drying lotion. I’d usually just use sudocrem but wanted to try something with more purpose on my spots, which have been quite bad recently. I’m a male in my 30s and started getting lots of angry red spots, on my forehead area/jawline. This isn’t a miracle cure. And it may not work on all spots as I found. Some it did wonders - a nasty under the skin spot appeared red and about to rear near my nose. I plopped this on and after a few days it calmed down. But it has barely done anything for the spots on my forehead 5 nights in, and has even made some of them become white heads (maybe a good thing?) If you’re expecting a miracle after one night, I don’t think you’ll find it here. It may also not work on all spots. I also noticed no one has mentioned what a pain the stuff is to get off in the morning! I’m rubbing my face for ages in the shower and there is still residue!!! So in all, worth a try but don’t get your hopes up.

I paid a fortune for this product at a high end skincare salon a few years ago and have sworn by it ever since. Thrilled to see it priced well and available here! Seriously, if ever you get any little blemish starting (I'm of an age that I shouldn't be getting zits, but when you eat fried food or sweets, the pesky buggers appear. Dab on a bit of this before bed and the next morning it's either gone or FAR less than it was before. I swear by it! And the bottle lasts forever. The dermatologist told me you just dip the QTip in down to the pink, and pull straight out and there's enough product to deal with the issue. Highly recommend!

Got as a gift for someone and they swear by it, says it's amazing for spots. It's a very tiny bottle for the price, but perhaps it lasts longer than it seems.
