    Watch those pimple shrink!

    I have been using this in the mornings under my makeup because I read that it is supposed to conceal pimples too. I don't know about concealing but it does dry up my pimples! Alot of reviewers wrote that they use it at night so I will have to try that too! The smell is a little strong but it is not an awful smell. The jar looks small but a little product goes a long ways! — 3 years, 7 months ago

    Works wonders

    I use several of Mario acne products. This works great on cystic acne. I have tried countless acne lines over the years and find these products to be very gentle on my sensitive skin yet effective treating acne. Very affordable products too! — 4 years, 1 month ago

    Great for Large or Deep Pimples

    This is serious medicine for those large, deep pimples on the face or body. It may take a few applications to remove some stubborn pimples, but others will respond with one application overnight. Do not apply to surrounding skin, as this cream is VERY drying. For best results, apply at bedtime, using every other night on problem areas if overdrying occurs. Caution: may come off on the pillowcase during the night. If used on the body, a bandaid may be applied after the cream has dried, to keep product off clothing. — 4 years, 7 months ago

    Excellent spot treatment!

    I recieved this drying cream with my free sample kit. I was extremely impressed with this drying cream. It works best on cystic acne. However, on the instructions, it mentions to apply on whiteheads - I beg to differ. Toned down my cystic acne considerably! — 4 years, 10 months ago

    it works

    this product really works. it is messy and leaves white stains on the skin, so I only use it before bed. It does the job though, and it`s affordable — 4 years, 10 months ago

    Not sure

    I have a sample of Mario Badescu Drying Cream that I've really loved, however the picture here looks like it says "buffering lotion" and doesn't appear to be the same product. Anyway, the Drying Cream that I have appears to be a clay-based product and is an excellent overnight spot treatment. It goes on thick and pasty, but dries up blemishes in just one or two nights, with absolutely no overdrying (which I have with almost all other acne products). Love it! — 5 years ago

    Good for Cystic Acne

    I'm in the process of trying a number of Mario's acne products. This was the first one I tried based on a recommendation in Women's Health. It works best on cystic type acne-not whiteheads. It's oily feel was a little alarming, but it really does speed up the healing time on these painful, stubborn type of pimples-drying them up faster. With this type of acne, miracles are just that-hard to come by and this is not a miracle worker, but a really good helper. — 5 years, 3 months ago
