- Q
I alternate between the enzyme cleanser and glycolic cleanser for my acne and hyperpigmentation. I also use the cucumber toner after the glycolic cleanser because it's gentle enough since the glycolic can be a little drying and I usually exfoliate after the glycolic if my face is not too irritated. On the days when I don't exfoliate and use the gentle enzyme cleanser, can I use this toner? I know this line has products better suited for active acne but I am currently nursing and these are the few products I find with safe ingredients.
- Asked by Andrea
- Official Answer By Mario BadescuWe do not suggest the Glycolic Grapefruit Cleansing Lotion if you have active acne. Instead our Alpha Grapefruit Cleansing Lotion can be used as your toner to help brighten the skin while being gentle. https://www.ulta.com/alpha-grapefruit-cleansing-lotion?productId=xlsImpprod6200779&sku=2210016&_requestid=6456423Was this answer helpful to you

Talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing
This is the only product I've ever reviewed, but that's just because this is the only thing that has actually worked for me. I'm 20 and was blessed with acne when I was just 9 years old (as you can tell, genetics are not my friend) and I have tried every product you can imagine. I spent so much mone...

Disappointed
I was very disappointed in this product. It was very harsh on my combination skin and worked well at first but my skin began to go back to the way it used to be in about a month. I was very disgusted after reading the ingredients that a "Prestige" brand would use rubbing alcohol (went by another nam...

Burned my skin
I am 28 and I have combination skin, it burned pretty badly and left my sling feeling irritated,itchy and changed the texture of my skin. I would recommend testing before buying.
Very harsh left painful burns
Very harsh on my skin. I normally use the glycolic acid toner which works great. The grapefruit lotion literally left me with chemical burns on my face and neck.
Perfect product

Describe Yourself Licensed in esthetics, with post acne,sun damage
I have post damage to my earlier acne, stressed past over exposure to the sun. This is a great product for my own skincare needs to address the issues that I have dealt with in the past. I recommend a sunscreen for the day when using this product. I am also a fan of the alpha grapefruit toner for the day, my evening gentle exfoliation is really wonderful, the vit c in the morning routine with the alpha grapefruit after cleansing with the seaweed soap which has a slight granular exfoliation from the seaweed really leaves my skin incredibly smooth, bright, feeling great, especially when I use a vit c serum or moisturizer, also recommend the buttermilk moisturizer for a bright, moisturized texture The whole line is highly recommended. The price is great especially for the results that can be achieved

Love Mario Badescu products and this is my most recent try. Fell in love! I deal with acne, dry skin, and wrinkles...this product has noticibly helped clear my skin. Will purchase again!
