Comments about Mario Badescu Acne Facial Cleanser:
I got this a week ago and have started using twice a day. I'm 33 and recently development oilier skin and was experiencing minor breakouts. This does an excellent job removing my makeup at night and giving my skin a fresh and clean feeling. I immediately follow with a serum and moisturizer so my skin doesn't dry out. My couple breakouts have cleared and my skin is looking good. Very happy with this purchase and will definitely repurchase.

Comments about Mario Badescu Acne Facial Cleanser:
I decided to finally splurge and try this brand, I have acquired adult acne recently and it seems like anything i've tried with harsh chemicals and scents have reaked havoc on my skin. Everything leaves me too dry or way too oily. I havn't been using this very long but i have noticed already my skin is less red and irritated and not oily mid day. I will update my review after giving it a few weeks but so far im impressed, it doesn't have a strong smell it's very soothing and my skin feels refreshed after using.

Q:
my skin is combination of oily and dry. my skin is dry at some parts and oily near my nose and i don't have bad acne but two or three pimples pop out every 2 weeks and i don't touch them and bother them bc they leave acne scars and it still leaves bad acne scars which makes my skin look dull and ugly and so will this product help me with my skin and clear out the pimple or acne scars?Asked on 2/27/2018 by ipshie from Georgia,US1 answer
A:
Our Enzyme Cleansing Gel would be a great cleanser for you if you experience occasional breakouts. This product will help gently exfoliate and brighten the skin while reducing congestion. It is also a great option for those with combination skin.

Does this help with acne scars?Asked on 2/22/2018 by spring lover from Sun Valley, CA1 answer

Our Acne Facial Cleanser does not target discoloration from acne scars. We recommend our Glycolic Foaming Cleanser 1-3 times per week in place of your daily cleanser to help reduce discoloration.
