Mario Badescu

This product is a classic that I've heard a lot about – and now I know why! Mario Badescu Drying Lotion really works – it's such a little, pink spot rescue for surprises that is always worth having on hand. I used it as recommended – without mixing layers: I dipped a cotton swab into the bottle, reaching for the pink sediment at the bottom, and applied it directly to skin changes before bed. In the morning, it was clear that the imperfections were less red, less painful, and some simply disappeared. It works quickly and effectively – especially on small breakouts and inflammations that are just starting to appear. It doesn't dry out the skin around it, as long as you use it spot-wise and in moderation. It has a characteristic, pharmacy-like smell – a bit sulfurous, but for me, that's completely acceptable because the effect makes up for everything. The 29 ml glass bottle is small but very efficient – the product is used really slowly, as you only need a little on the swab. Perfect for keeping in the bathroom, in your makeup bag, and even for taking on trips (just don't shake it!). [hashtag] [hashtag]

I've been using this every morning and night for several years now, I'm super satisfied!

Not bad, not amazing. Just a plain regular balm.
