Mario Badescu Drying Lotion

So I'm very lucky to have good skin. My face is usually pretty clear and I don't really get pimples. However, sometimes I'll get reddish bumps that don't go away for a few days.

I've never really found a product I like that gets rid of them until recently. I'd seen advertisements for Mario Badescu Drying Lotion since I read Seventeen magazine in high school, but I never tried it until recently. Boy am I glad I did~*

Mario Badescu Drying Lotion is a product that comes in a small jar. It is pink on the bottom and an oily looking liquid on top. You put it on at night because it'll leave pink/white marks wherever you put it. You put this on and overnight, you're skin looks better!

The way to use this product is to dip something into the solution so you get to the pink part. It says to use a cotton swab/q-tip, but I feel like it soaks up too much excess liquid. I prefer to dip a small brush (such as an eyeliner brush) instead. Place directly on spots and you should see results pretty quickly. Oh, and don't shake the bottle! it's supposed to be separated!

*Warning* This product can be painful~ It's like putting alcohol on your skin, so it can sting... but you get kind of used to it... and I actually kind of like it because I feel like it's working... But if you have a low pain tolerance, this might not be for you.

So, for skin blemishes, I say go with the Mario Badescu Drying Lotion. May all your spots and blemishes disappear!


Retail Price: $17


*** An alternative to this product that was recommended by a friend is Clean and Clear's Persagel to get rid of pimples because the Mario Badescu only works for "super tiny ones". Let me know what you think!***
