Like many MB products this one was just to harsh for my sensitive skin and for days after using this I burned and peeled.

Since I've started using this, I no longer get cystic acne. If I see a pimple starting to sprout up midday, I'll dab a bit on top of it and it'll help minimize the problem. I like that I can put...

Hard to believe that this runny stuff that looks like nothing more than chalky white water would actually work incredibly well on zits. This is the best product I have used yet to help with my...

Mario Badescu products are results-oriented and prototypical. I have been seeing their drying lotion ads for years in mags and this is another unique one. This really works on stubborn and...

I adore the Mario Badescu line, and this is one more MB product that really works for me. I have persistent and consistent acne, sometimes cystic, around my jawline mainly, so I was looking for...

This really calms down the redness in my zits. I just wish that it wasn't so runny! I like to use this for spot coverage, since it gets a bit drying if I just put it all over my face, but it's so...

Well, I think this product is so-so.....I think the alcohol also makes me sensitive and my acne are not really dried up after using. However, it makes my sky feel dry. The liquid form is hard to...

This is my all around spot treatment. I find that this works best on pimples that have come to a whitehead. And this works wonders if (by accident) a pimple has been opened. Put it on at night and...

stuff is so great. You shake up the soloution so its a cloudy white color, squirt on finger or cotton ball and apply to errupted areas. it really clears up your skin in a matter of time! A+

This products works quite well on inflamed and pimply areas. It also seems to reduce the oiliness of my chin and nose area where I applied it. It's hard to apply though and the bottle is not ideal....
