Review for Mario Badescu Drying Lotion
Hey guys!
Today’s review will be on the highly raved by
almost everyone on the planet Mario Badescu Drying Lotion. I got this from
Luxola, using my $10 store credit when I first signed up, so the total amount I
paid was $23 (original price is $33).
The product
has a unique way of using it. Firstly, do not shake the solution. You need to
wait for the solution to settle and separate (around 10-15 minutes) then apply
the paste to get the optimum effect. Direction: Dip a cotton swab into the pink
sediment and dab on the pimple. Let it dry and wash off the next morning.
It is a
pink opaque paste so I encourage only using it at night or on days where you do
not need to leave the house. Or if sporting
pink spots on your face is your thing then…
Pros:
I really
like this product, therefore this review is going to be a positive one. This
solution promises to dry out the zit in 24 hours and I do see significant
results. I usually get these painful
huge ass zits on my chin and nowadays on my forehead and after using it my
pimple is notably less inflamed and the
size is reduced. Sometimes my zit
gets so small, it stops getting painful!
It leaves a
minty cooling sensation when applied and the solution does sting a little if
your pimple is an open wound.
.
Cons:
Do note
that the drying lotion is very drying (it
contains alcohol), so you are bound to get flaky skin around the area where you applied the solution. If you
have very dry or sensitive skin, you might want to skip days because it is very harsh.
The texture
of the drying lotion is very similar to calamine lotion (it does contain calamine) and Proactiv’s Refining Mask. It has a clay consistency that dries within
minutes. Do note that this drying lotion, in particular, is very hard to wash off. Therefore I do
not recommend using large quantities of it on one spot because it grabs on
tightly to the skin.
Let me warn you guys first. This product is pungent. Despite the smell being so strong, it does not smell bad as in stinky. It has a chemical, herbal smell and for those who are sensitive to scent, you might want to test it out first.
I do like
the design of the product; it looks
very exquisite and old school. What I don’t like about it is that the bottle is
made out of glass, which means that
you have to be extra careful when handling it because the glass can break. It
also makes travelling with it almost impossible.
.
Yadda Yadda:
If you are
looking for a pimple acne treatment and everything you have tried is not
working, I highly recommend trying this out. I do see significant results and
think that it is worth every buck.
I paid $23 for this product.
Will I
repurchase? Yes. I do see the Mario Badescu Drying Lotion becoming a staple in
my skincare bag.
Packaging: 3/5 (not the most user-friendly)
Price: 4/5
Effectiveness: 5/5 (It works!)
Overall rating: 4/5
