  • Holy Grail Spot Treatment - Amazing for Breakouts!
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) Style: 01 Drying Lotion Glass Bottle, 1 Fl oz
Effectiveness: This Mario Badescu Drying Lotion has been an absolute game-changer for dealing with occasional breakouts and stubborn blemishes. The overnight spot treatment works incredibly fast - I often wake up to find that angry, inflamed pimples have significantly reduced in size and redness after just one application. The zinc oxide and sulfur formula is powerful yet gentle enough that it doesn't over-dry or irritate my skin like some harsh acne treatments do. I love how it targets specific spots without affecting the surrounding healthy skin. The pink sediment at the bottom contains the active ingredients, so shaking it up and applying with a cotton swab gives precise application exactly where needed. Quality: Mario Badescu has built an excellent reputation in skincare, and this drying lotion maintains their high standards for effective, gentle formulations. The 1 fl oz bottle contains a surprisingly long-lasting amount of product since you only need tiny dabs for spot treatment. The consistency allows for precise application without waste, and the formula stays effective throughout the life of the product. The ingredients are well-balanced to provide acne-fighting benefits without the harsh side effects of more aggressive treatments. The packaging protects the formula integrity, and the dropper-style application method ensures hygiene and prevents contamination. Value for Money: This drying lotion provides incredible value when you consider how effectively it treats breakouts and prevents them from becoming larger, more inflamed problems. The small bottle lasts for months of regular use since you only apply it to specific spots, making the cost per treatment very reasonable. When I compare this to dermatologist visits or expensive acne systems, getting professional-quality spot treatment at this price is remarkable. The peace of mind knowing I have an effective solution for unexpected breakouts makes this worth far more than the modest cost. This has become my go-to emergency treatment for breakouts and consistently delivers fast, effective results. Highly recommend for anyone dealing with occasional acne or needing reliable spot treatment! ... show more

  • Recommend to buy! Awesome product
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) Style: 01 Drying Lotion Glass Bottle, 1 Fl oz
I’ve been using the Mario Badescu Drying Lotion on and off for a couple years now, and honestly, it’s one of the few skincare products that consistently works for me. Anytime I feel a pimple forming or see one starting to surface, I dab a little on before bed, and more often than not, it’s either gone or significantly reduced by morning. It’s not some miracle overnight fix for every kind of breakout, but it works best on whiteheads or those little surface-level pimples. You definitely have to follow the instructions don’t shake the bottle! Just dip a cotton swab straight into the pink sediment at the bottom and dab it on. It dries quickly and smells a bit like rubbing alcohol, but I don’t mind it. I will say it can be drying if you use it too often or on the same spot repeatedly, so I usually pair it with a good moisturizer the next day. Overall, it’s just a great spot treatment to have on hand. Would definitely repurchase. Value for money: Last a long time, although it does seem small Why did you pick this product vs others?: It had more positive reviews, and had proof of it working online. Lightweight: feels like nothing on your skin once it dries, but works like magic! Effectiveness: awesome, my pimples deflate over night! ... show more

  • Works ok but isn't user friendly
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) Style: 01 Drying Lotion Glass Bottle, 1 Fl oz
I'm on the fence about this. It does help dry problem spots, but it's not very user friendly. You have to dip a Qtip down into the pink layer at the bottom of the bottle, but if you dip it too much, it's clumpy and thick; if you don't dip it enough, it's watery and runs off. It is also VERY drying to a degree that can be damaging. It takes a few applications for the pimple or blemish to dry up, and after that my skin gets dry and tends to peel. I wouldn't get this again. It's just too clunky to mess with and the results are mixed. ... show more
