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.

Since I turned 40 years old three years ago I have suffered with really bad cystic acne. So bad I couldn't leave the house. I tried EVERYTHING. I had been on Vyvanse for ADHD for several years. I looked like I belonged on The Faces of Meth. I quit the med cold turkey. 6 weeks later I had my face back. I am still off meds, but my good luck only lasted 3 months. Last week I woke up and my entire face was COVERED in red bumps. My forehead alone made me cry. I had nothing left to try. I got on to Amazon and found this product. I have used 90% isopropyl on my face & calamine lotion as well, so I wasn't sure if this would work. But I was desperate. It arrived the following day. The first few times I applied with a q-tip. I pulled half of the cotton off cuz I didn't want to waste it. I wasn't getting the coverage I wanted, and I had A LOT to cover. So I took an eyedropper and sucked up the sediment and gently squeezed the bulb of the eyedropper over my entire face. I rubbed it into my face each time with clean fingers. I went to bed. When I woke up I couldn't believe it. The bumps had all gone down and the redness was GONE. I still have tiny little scabs, but they aren't swollen, they no longer hurt and you can't really see them with the redness gone. I am SO grateful I stumbled on this. I read tons of reviews and as always there were lots of negative reviews. There always is. Not every product works for everyone. Lucky for me it did an incredible job!!! It's well worth the $20 to try it. I highly recommend giving it a chance.

It is worth the every penny.

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!

I thought it wasn’t authentic at first since the packaging differed a little from the one I bought from Mecca but it works the same + the consistency and formula seems to work really well for my skin. I recommend!
