Comments about Mario Badescu Special Healing Powder:
I usual wear this in combo with bare minerals mineral veil. I can wear this alone without makeup to calm any redness or as a setting powder using a makeup sponge or a powder pouf that comes in a pack of 2 which I buy at whatever stores for 3 bucks. Doesn't clog my pores or cause irritation. It keeps my oily areas under control and I'll use blotting papers anout 2-3 times throughout the day if i'm wearing a full face of makeup. This stuff is brilliant and let's not forget the incredible price it costs. I bought this for the first time about 3 months ago and i'm just now getting close to being finished with the bottle. I use this about 5 days out of a week and usually 2-3 times per day. Love it!

I really like this product line for acne, works well
Comments about Mario Badescu Special Healing Powder:
Truly this is hands down the best. I use it to actually "bake" because it keeps my face SOOOO matte, and let me tell you... I am one huge grease ball. Lol. My face is so oily and nothing ever helps. Not primers, no other baking powders, no oil control creams etc, but when I bake my t zone and forehead and chin area with this I can guarantee a flawlessly matte face all day long! Thank you Mario for this!!!!!!!!
Comments about Mario Badescu Special Healing Powder:
it's okay, it's crazy crazy messy and gets in my hair. I have oily skin, but and this dries it out a lot negatively and is patchy. Doesn't really help with forehead oiliness. Okay for the price i guess, wouldn't buy again

Comments about Mario Badescu Special Healing Powder:
On day 5 I could see a huge difference in my skin! I have a very oily T zone with moderate acne and blackheads, and redness. Most days I put on a moisturizer and then this powder. Bc my face is so red, the yellow doesn't look yellow at all, it does a very good job neutralizing my natural red tones. And, even better, it's not just a quick fix! My face is much clearer and less red after two weeks of use. When I do feel the urge to wear make up, this powder is great as a before and/or after foundation powder. This is my new favorite product.

Comments about Mario Badescu Special Healing Powder:
I really did like this product because it did help with my oily skin BUT I am very tan and don't wear makeup and it leaves a little powdery white/green tint after I apply. I did try to blend in more but at that point I felt like there wasn't enough to even help with the oily skin :( would recommend to someone who doesn't have a dark/tanner complexion :)

Comments about Mario Badescu Special Healing Powder:
This Healing Powder has definitely helped treat and clear up a good portion of my acne. It hasn't dried out my skin at all and I haven't noticed any bad smell from the product (since it contains sulfur). I use it before bed, as I find this has a weird, yellowish-green tint to it, so I wouldn't recommend using it to set makeup. I apply it after my toner and serum with a clean cotton ball. The powder is very fine and messy, and it gets everywhere when I'm applying it to my face. That doesn't really bother me that much, though, since it's easy to clean up. It has helped heal/dry up acne quickly - even blemishes that haven't fully surfaced. It takes about 1-2 days. I haven't noticed too much of a reduction in blackheads or production of oil, but I'm only using this once a day, so that may be a contributing factor. I wouldn't say this is a holy grail product, but it does work and I'm happy with it. I would recommend this Healing Powder to anyone suffering from acne.
Comments about Mario Badescu Special Healing Powder:
I love to use this product as a last step in my morning skincare routine to set my moisturizer or spf and reduce oily shine. The powder is very fine so it blends well with a fluffy brush and doesn't leave a tint, whitecast, or powdery look. It makes the face look clean and pulled together without a drop of makeup so you can be ready to go in a pinch. Truly a special product for oily skin!
Pros
- Easy To Use
- Hydrates Skin
- Minimizes Pores

Comments about Mario Badescu Special Healing Powder:
I sweep a small amount all over my face and it sets my makeup, isn't drying, and helps fight excess oil.

Q:
Does this work well for combination skin? Does it dry out the already dry areas of skin? Can you return it if it doesn't work or I have reaction or makes it worse? I have oily t zone but dry skin everywhere else with acne, blackheads, whiteheads, just have a mix of every bad skin issue possible & every product I tr uh is a waste of money & just trades a few bad attributes for other bad attributes. Please help me I'm desperate to find a good product after trying everything for years. I'm 40 yrs old & so embarrassed of this skin. I don't even take pictures because of my hereditary skin the rest of my family struggles with as well also trying everything with no improvement. Thank you so much for your time & feedback!Asked on 12/19/2017 by Zen Jen from Missouri1 answer
