Out of all of them, I like the drying lotion best and reach for it most often over the rest of the Mario badescu line that I own.
As others have stated, it is best used in the evening, since it is not formulated to work with makeup. Apply with cotton swab and dab on each pimple until coated in "pink," and let dry. Typically the pimple(s) are greatly reduced by morning, if not gone, which is why I love this product.
For an acne treatment intended for evening use, this is the best I have found. Kate Sommerville makes a similar product, but it did not work nearly as well, so I would skip that one if you were thinking of going with that one instead.
Please note that this product does not intend to clear up stubborn cystic acne. MB does not use a one-size-fits-all approach to treating acne, since there are several types of acne that can form on the face. Rather, they have developed acne specific products, targeting the actual acne you are afflicted with. If you have cystic acne troubles, use the buffering lotion, which is formulated to help reduce cystic acne.
Their website actually has an acne guide explaining each type of acne and how to treat it with their products, which is worth checking into. Since Mario badescu has many product offerings, I suggest completing their skin analysis online and let them send you free samples of what they believe will work for you from their product line.
Mario badescu Usage Tips
I suggest inverting the bottle a few times and then using a cotton ball or swab to apply. Watch-out! it's super volatile, I think it has high alcohol content or something it burns the eyes and skin so don't apply to cuts, or open skin, I would steer very clear of the eye and mouth and under the nose area too. The only issue I have is that I feel like it really burns the skin, so much so that I smell burnt flesh after applying... But hey, my pimples dry up really fast so I guess its worth it right...FAQ About Mario badescu drying lotion
Q 01: Does this product bleach or stain your bed sheets?
A: It dries on your face and if it rubs off during the night it's more like a powder and flakes off. I have not noticed that it stained any bedsheets. Hope this helps.
Q 02: How would you suggest applying this? I'm struggling a bit!
A: First, DON'T SHAKE BOTTLE TO MIX SOLUTIONS! They should remain separate: pink on bottom, clear on top. Then I take a q-tip and dip in to bottle down to the pink and pull straight out. Then just dot onto blemish with q-tip. No need to rub in, unless you are going to apply make-up or something. I usually apply right before bed. Hope this helps! :-)
