- Q
I am 26 years old and have recently noticed my skin is aging. I have lines around my eyes (crows feet and underneath) along with puffiness, dark spots from the sun, large pores, red spots (not acne, almost like broke blood vessels), and just overall dull and uneven skin complexion. I love your drying lotion to target my occasional pimple and I am looking for a skincare regimen that I can use daily and also a few times a week to help target all my concerns. I have been looking into your brightening kit, but I'm not sure if buying specific individual products would better serve my skin... Thank you!

Okay cleanser, better products out there
This is a good cleanser, but it is not the best that I have used. I have combination/oily skin for most of the year and normal to dry-combination in the heart of the winter. I bought this product at the beginning of February 2013, and I have used it every morning and night. It is non-irritating a...

One Use - Rash
I never write reviews. However, I read them religiously to determine if I'm going to buy something so I wanted to share. I do not have sensitive skin and I never break out using new products. I have mostly clear skin with the occasional breakout. I have the seaweed cleanser and this one was on sale ...

Spa experience
I use this cleanser every night with a silicone brush and it is so relaxing and reviving! It keeps my skin clear and brightens my complexion. I highly reccomend this product!
Love this product
I absolutely love this product. I look forward to using it every night. Absolutely love the smell, it is so relaxing! It is one product ive found that uses papaya extract, which is a good lightening ingredient. Please never stop making/selling this product!
Find Another Face Wash
I was excited to finally try a Mario Badescu product. However, I was very disappointed with this product. It was very ineffective for removing makeup. After the first wash, I looked like a racoon around my eyes. Instead of removing and washing away, the face gel basically smeared the makeup. The fragrance is pretty strong than most facial washes. You don't need a lot to use, which means it's taking me longer to get through this bottle. I will not purchase/recommend this product.
Very Nice Cleanser
After many years of not trying this cleanser, I finally purchased it. It's pleasant to use and my face feels clean afterwards, albeit a little dry. Still and all I'm happy with the purchase.
Love
I love this cleanser. I think some people commented they don't like the smell and I love it, so that was a nice surprise. I apply to wet skin and try to leave it on for at least two minutes and if I want extra exfoliation, I will add some scrub when I am removing. I have pretty tough skin and can use this every day. And because it is a thick gel, I'm not worried about it leaking when traveling, an added bonus.
