Mario Badescu Drying Lotion

Mario Badescu Drying Lotion is a must-have for anyone battling occasional breakouts. This iconic pink lotion works wonders, really!! just dip a cotton swab into the sediment and apply it directly to blemishes before bed. I noticed a significant reduction in size and redness by morning! The formula, featuring salicylic acid and calamine, is effective without causing irritation on my combination skin. It’s simple to use and delivers quick results, making it a go-to for those unexpected spots. Highly recommend for anyone looking for fast relief!

This product is one of those that will be part of my regular skincare regime during breakout season. I love the after feeling of how u can feel it drying up your breakout area. It will fix and heal within a day or 2. However the smell is pungent, smells acidic so may be uncomfortable when u sniff it in. Nothing too unbearable though. Do not shake the bottle. The "main" substance is sinked to the bottom. Use Q-Tip to go all the way down and apply at affected area. It contains calamine so it calms ur skin.

I swear by this drying lotion! Whenever I get a serious pimple, I apply the drying lotion and it actually is way better the next morning. Applying for 2 consecutive nights is all it takes. I always have this on hand at all time!

I like using this product a lot. I have used this for years and I do swear by it. It really dries out acne fast but if you have cystic acne (like me), this would take a while to dry your acne but with patience it can work alongside other acne products. The downside I notice it can make my skin dry but I can always fix that with a good moisturizer. The price is a bit expensive for the size though. Another thing I worry about with this is the glass bottle packaging cause it is not very travel friendly. All in all, I like this product.

This is a great treatment for zit spots. Easy to apply with a q-tip. Apply it at night and your pimple will dry out by the next morning. For deeper pimples, might take 2 nights of application. The draw back would be the smell, if you are sensitve to smell, it cant get over bearing. Bottle can get abit messy after using it for a month or 2.
