A staple for your cabinet
I never really write reviews, but after being a long-time user of Mario Badescu drying lotion and seeing that it has some pretty poor reviews on here I felt compelled to provide my review. 1. This product is in no way shape or form a miracle worker. You will not go to bed and wake up with porcelain...

Didn't work for me
I've basically finished the entire glass bottle of this drying lotion, I originally heard about how great it was for spot treatments, therefore I bought it for when I get that one zit that randomly pops up, but it did nothing for me. I don't think it did anything negative, however, it was ineffectiv...

One of my favorite products
I have used this for many years to fight blemishes and break outs. Other treatments had stopped working for me. A friend lent me this treatment and it worked overnight just as she told me it would. My blemishes dry up overnight and I don't have new scars. I have shared this treatment with a lot of friends and it has worked for them, too.
Works Well
This is a great product to have on hand! I use a Q-Tip to apply to a blemish before bed and wake up to it gone or almost gone.
One of my VERY few repeat purchases
literally game changer. I put it on acne and any part of my skin that even looks like it will turn into a bump, and my face is clear when i wake up. Half of the pink dots are gone in the morning where I'm more oily, but for whatever is left just rinse or wipe it off. Make sure you don't shake it!! But instead use a q tip to reach the bottom. This bottle has lasted me a long time too, much longer than i expected
THE BEST
This stuff works! I was skeptical & previously just used other "drying" products. I'm also a face picker so at the first sign of anything forming up, I use this & it stops it before anything starts. You need this product!!
Doesn't work
Ive been using this as a spot treatment. It just doesn't work. Its supposed to dry the blemish out and it doesnt do that at all - in fact, it seems to cause the blemish to create *more* excretion, not less. Also its basically a small amount of pink "sidement" in a solution that keeps it moist. You need to dip a q-tip to the bottom of the bottle into the "sediment", which makes it messy to apply. There are creams that work far better and are much less messy. Tossed this after three uses.
