Most Helpful Positive Review Love it! I've had some bumps on my chin for ages, not exactly acne, but definitely something. Maybe whiteheads? Either way, I've tried a lot of products and couldn't get rid of them. I tried this drying cream and it's AMAZING. I've been using it for a week and there is a huge difference. I took off one star because it doesn't seem to make any difference with actual acne. I still love it though because of how much it has helped with the bumps on my chin! I've had no issues with it being too drying, though I don't have sensitive skin.
Most Helpful Critical Review New Formula I've been using this product for over a year. I used to love it. It worked really well and didn't contain a long list of ingredients or parabens. I bought a new one recently and it started to make me break out. I compared the ingredients with my old one (old ingredients are what ulta lists) and I was disappointed to find tbey changed the formula by adding a lot of new ingredients and parabens. Sadly I will be returning as it doesn't work like it used to.

If you get that annoying pimple this drying cream is your answer.
Great product 5
Val from Mesa AZ
My son is at that 'age' of acne prone skin (he is 13)-this entire product line works on clearing up his skin! We tried several different product line and this is by far the BEST! It works-well work the price.
Smells like burning tires 2
Jen from Palm Harbor, FL
I really like MB skincare and got this as part of a sample pack. At first glance it comes out like a clay mask but the scent was so strong and noxious, I could barely breathe while it was drying on my face. Smells toxic. Would not use again.
Yes and yes 5
Jazzy Jay from McAllen, Texas
I'm not one to typically give out reviews but this one is a must! I remember getting a sample a long time ago and it has helped bring down the redness and swelling of new pimples. Since I turned 30 and work stress has added up my acne has been out of control. For the last month or so I had tried everything under the sun! I was so embarrassed about it that I didn't want anyone to see me without my mask! I literally had 3 days for my friends wedding and I had huge red under my skin pimples that were painful to see and feel. This little mask nightly did all the wonders! I am so happy I remembered about this mask! It has truly been a miracle!
my go to drying cream 5
kristina from washington
I have been buying this stuff for years now and I still love it. I first received this as a sample and I've been hooked since. Each day you put this on, you can watch your blemishes shrink and shrink. I wouldn't say it works overnight but it does work. Since my skin is pale and matches the colour of the cream, I honestly use this as a concealer to hide the redness while also treating it. Anyways, if you're thinking about buying it… GET IT :)
Works on Cystic Acne To Get Swelling To Go Down 5
JH from Ohio
It Works! Great deal for the money and will last months if not 1 Year. You only need a little bit.
You must get your sleep with this product. Results will be seen in the morning.
a little goes a long way 5

drastically reduces inflamed pimples so quick
Did nothing 3
lovemygirl from MD
Simply put this just didn't work for me. I have no issues with the smell but it is rather hard to get off and sadly it didn't help for my skin issues. Also I only actually had about 1/2 a jar, I guess because of the consistency of the product and how it settles over time. Would not buy again or recommend.

Not effective at all for me. Feel the same about the drying lotion too. Neither dried anything out, just irritated the zit beneath it. Their sulfur mask and acne face wash are better products for acne concerns imo.
Worked miracles on my acne 5
Lizziebeezie from Riverbank
I dont usually comment on anything but when i do its because i love the product. I was breaking out so bad around my cheeks and mouth area for months nonstop and then i tried this literally the next day i noticed a difference on the redness and started to dry my acne. About 2 weeks later ive been using this plus other mario badescu products and i will never switch it up. I just love this product.
not sure if I would buy it again 2
OZzy from Houston tx
so I used this for about a month and it helped shrink the size of my pimples dramatically. However, I've been using regularly and I noticed out of nowhere that I have large brown spots where I put it. I've been super busy and I didn't notice before . Now I'm super self conscious about it. Not sure if spots are going to permanent or temporary. I have rocea and face my face is pretty fair and the spots look like brown moles.
Strong smell, little results 3
Ems from Richmond va
I'm not typically thrown off by smells, but this is STRONGLY scented. I haven't noticed much results with it either. The drying calamine cream they have is a better option for those with acne.
smells bad but works well 5
Khamm from MD
I've had acne prone skin since stopping the pill. Facials and peels help but I have a hard time controlling acne-causing bacteria on my face between peels. Benzoyl peroxide and sulfur are antibacterial. BP works but dries out my skin (and bleaches everything) so I looked for sulfur treatments. I liked that I could leave this on overnight instead of as a mask. I dab this on acne as a last step to my skincare routine. It's the first spot treatment that actually works for me. It does smell bad but it's worth it.
I would buy this product again 5
Jab from Erlanger Kentucky
I've been using it 4 times a week for a month now and it works great to dry up my pimples.
Works amazing! 5
Nina from Washington
During my pregnancy my skin has been on a Rollercoaster! This product is pregnancy safe and works overnight to zap those stubborn pimples!!
Love 5
Rachael from New Jersey
I was using Kate Somerville eradikate for a while and it did not work at all. I tired this and wow it dries your acne out fast! I definitely recommend. The smell isn't bad in my opinion it doesn't have fragrance in it so it takes on the smell of the ingredients. FRAGRANCE IS BAD FOR YOUR SKIN!! To me it was an earthy smell. The texture is almost like a moose which I like. I dap mine on to my skin until it's absorbed. A little goes a long way with this product. Overall I like this product and I do recommend it
Dries up nasty zits quickly 5
Shelby from North Carolina
Used this to dry up some zits right before my wedding from a recommendation from an esthetician.. worked well.
SMELL 1

It smells HORRIBLE!!! If you're sensitive to smell, hard pass. Run.
Very Effective 5
Susy from texas
This cream works perfectly to dry out pimples.
This works well 5
Tigger from Pitt County NC
Having a need to dry up areas that became prevalent from wearing a mask all day-this product works well. It is a great cover and also drys as needed.
Annoying to Use 2
Glendeetz from Irvine, CA
Helped with small bumps. I've read somewhere that you can use this under makeup, but I would not. The cream is very thick, and is not something that disappears under makeup. Got to try this from the Acne Repair Kit, and this was my least favorite out of the 3 in the pack.
Pass on this one 2
Lily from Oregon
I was hoping this would work for my acne. I used it for a few weeks and never really noticed a difference.
