- Messy
Best Uses
- Blackheads & Whiteheads
Comments about Mario Badescu Silver Powder:
This products instructions say to use it as a paste and leave it on for 10 minutes. It doesn't erase blackheads the first time, but after a couple weeks I have noticed a difference. However when I take this product off with a toner is is really messy and crumbles. This might be the case since it is a loose powder. I also like using this powder as a translucent setting powder.
Pros
- Works Effectively
Cons
Best Uses
- Blackheads & Whiteheads
Comments about Mario Badescu Silver Powder:
used it twice so far, love the clean feeling on my face.
Comments about Mario Badescu Silver Powder:
Used a damp cotton ball and created a paste before applying. Removed with toner and saw a little difference in the blackheads on my nose, but not a significant change like in other reviews. Worked alright but probably won't be buying again.

Comments about Mario Badescu Silver Powder:
so cheap, im surprised it works so well
Comments about Mario Badescu Silver Powder:
I really like this product, it has worked well for me. Instead of using a dampened cotton ball, like suggested, I wet the end of a Q Tip and apply the product. This way makes for less mess for me and I can control what specific areas I want the product on.
Comments about Mario Badescu Silver Powder:
The best product for enlarged pores & blackheads! After 2 applications I see a huge difference. My pores are so much smaller & my blackheads are almost completely gone! I apply it only to my T zone. So far I don't see a difference in the amount of oil I have.
Comments about Mario Badescu Silver Powder:
After reading reviews for this product i was SO excited to try it! I've followed recommendations to apply a paste to the skin, rather than powder, and to remove the paste with a toner. I've tried this multiple times and did not see much difference in my pores after. This product did not irritate my skin and seemed to remove a small amount of blackheads so I think it would be worth a shot for anyone interested in trying it. However, this did not clear up my blackheads or give me the results I was anticipating.
Pros
- Easy To Use
- Works Effectively
Cons
Best Uses
- Adult Acne
Comments about Mario Badescu Silver Powder:
So I don't use the powder the way it's intended, I haven't tried it on my blackheads because I honestly don't have a lot of them. What I do have is pimples that sprout up randomly and take forever to go away completely, until this. I use this as a spot treatment, applying it and taking it off as directed, after my skincare routine and before my pimple cream (currently using lush's grease lightning, haven't tried any of MBs) but this stuff is awesome. These things go away SO MUCH quicker and without scarring. 10/10 would recommend!

Q:
I see a lot of people have posted that they use a blackhead porestrip after use of this product. I thought porestrips also stripped away the good oil from our faces though. I do notice after using the product, it helps bring oil to the surface but it doesn't completely get of the blackhead. Should I use a porestrip?Asked on 11/27/2017 by Lauren from Connecticut1 answer
A:
You could use a pore strip on an alternating evening so that even after rinsing, the Silver Powder that has seeped into the pores is allowed to work overnight.Answered on 11/28/2017 by Brand Expert from Mario Badescu
