Mario Badescu earns mixed-to-positive reviews: the Drying Lotion consistently works to flatten breakouts quickly, facial sprays feel refreshing and soothing, and several cleansers and creams leave skin soft and hydrated; however, many reviews flag heavy fragrance and alcohol, occasional irritation or over-drying, and inconsistent efficacy across products. Reviews of Mario Badescu also reference past concerns about undisclosed steroid ingredients, nozzle issues on some mists, and scents some find too strong, making the brand a selective buy for targeted solutions rather than a full routine.
It’s very good for preventing pimple and redness after going to the gym. I’ve been using this spray for the past month and has helped greatly preventing any skin issues. Totally recommend it for anyone who’s trying to prevent pimples after workout
Magic in a bottle! I’m 46 years old, so my acne days are behind me, but I do break out occasionally and when I do, I turn to this drying lotion immediately. It works! The key is getting it on before you start picking - I know, we all do it. If you catch that pimple quickly and dab on this lotion, you will see a major difference.
This oil free moisturizer has the added benefits of an spf30 to protect my skin; the product is no greasy and soaks in nicely to my dry skin - giving me a burst of hydration. I just wish it was easier to find in stores and wasn't so expensive; I use it sparingly right now.
This aloe, cucumber and green tea facial spray, is extremely refreshing and invigorating as it refreshes the skin and mind (seriously, it helps to relax while also bringing happiness to one's mind). The product is a little pricey but I use it sparingly.
Mario Badescu sells an array of vegan skincare products.
