If you've EVER had a boulder-sized zit begin to rise beneath your skin, you know you're in for DAYS of "ugly."
Mine seem to slumber until "that time of the month," then WHAM!....I've suddenly got one or two hideous and
painful disfiguring red lumps percolating on my face.
They've always been too deep to do anything about except endure-UNTIL NOW!
The FIRST time I used it, I was stunned to see that Mario Badescu's Drying Cream had shrunk a disgusting, red and painful cystic "boulder" on my cheek by more than HALF by morning!
The next night, I slathered the "boulder" again, and again-was amazed by morning. What had begun as another week-long (or longer) deep, painful, disfiguring giant red "zit," was little more than a minuscule "nothing,"- an invisible, internally dried, itty-bitty "bump," invisible-painless-gone!
Whatever is in it-whatever the ingredients-this stuff WORKS! Amazingly so, and incredibly fast.
Yes-it's expensive, but it WORKS!! Also, you don't need much, simple a q-tip full of this clay-like product (but be sure to slather it thickly) spread
over the pimple. It dries in 10 minutes, working its bacteria and oil "slurping" properties as you sleep.
I've never used anything that's come close to Badescu's Drying Cream-and I hope, hope, hope that those of you who either suffer from these painful, disfiguring "boulders" once a month, get them once in a blue moon, or worst of all-fight them all the time, will PLEASE give this product a try!
It's that good-really!
I'm 23 with very oily skin, and I've been using OXY products for years. After using the Mario Badescu Cream, I'm beginning to think OXY was part of the problem. This is not as harsh, and the difference is almost night and day.
It does have an odor...somewhere between tarmac and bug repellant, but not nearly so potent. It's not the "rotten eggs" smell I was expecting from a sulphur-based product, and I actually don't mind it. As other reviewers have stated, the thickness and color of the cream, and the fact that it works by laying on top of your skin, can wash out your natural color. For me it's worked best applied in a thin layer at night or at least 20 minutes before applying makeup or sunscreen in the morning.
My husband said it smelled like old leather seats in a car.
Either way, it’s just not a great smell to have on your face.
I’d look past it if it was like amazing but I prefer the pink Mario blemish spot more than this. The only good thing is you can put this on a large area. It does help to try up small pimples. I don’t think it works great acne “postules” and doesn’t do anything for cystic acne. I use it for small little bumps and breakouts. And try not to smell myself.
Buy it. You won’t regret it.
