I have used the Orange cleansing soap and it works very well it leave your face feeling soft and smooth
I love it

I received this as a sample but I can definitely see myself purchasing it in the future.

First off, a little goes a long way. You only need a small dab for this product to be effective. Anytime I see a spot, I dab the tiniest bit on it before I go to bed and when I wake up, poof, it's virtually gone. It doesn't have the greatest smell but it's something I can get over considering how effective the product seems to be.

I picked up this product recently and it works really well. I use it on bumps or infected areas and it becomes better the next day. It definitely leaves your skin a bit dry after you rinse it out so I would recommend some moisturizer afterwards. I don't use it once my skin is getting better since I don't want to dry it up even more.

This is the secret weapon in the war on pimples. It's a two layered solution that smells a bit like chamomile lotion. Do NOT shake the bottle. You simply dip your Q-tip in and then dab it onto your pimple. It immediately works to dry it out. Big pimples shrink, red ones become less inflammed, etc. Put simply, it just works to get rid of the zit you've probably been ruminating about since it reared its ugly head.


If you're not familiar with Mario Badescu, I can tell you its one of my favourite lines. Simple packaging, quality products. The great thing about them is that they offer you a sample kit suited to your skin for free. Just visit their website and fill out the skincare questionnaire. In about a week a customized skincare solution kit is mailed to you. I warn you though, you will probably love at least one of the several things they send you and be hooked.

Pir Cosmetics in Yorkville is the only place in Toronto (that I've found so far) that sells it as well. I usually order online, but it's nice to know that I can go get it if I need to. Truth be told, I always have a reserve bottle on hand, just in case. You know how pimples operate - they show up at the worst possible time when you least expect it. Thank goodness for the Drying Lotion...take that pimple.

i got this as a free sample and i love it. me and my husband have problems with acne and we had given up on finding something to fight it with until now. just a little dab of this stuff on a zit before bed and in the morning its virtually gone. i have to admit the price is quite a bit more then any over the counter product you can get but it is definitely worth a try. before you run out and buy this product i would suggest going to their website and getting a free sample first, afterall not every product works for every person, and even though this worked great for me and my husband it might not work as well for someone else. the great thing about Mario Badescu products is there is quite a variety for every skin type imaginable. when i ordered my free sample i was expecting just one product a one time use only type deal and i was very surprised when i got a face wash, a toner, drying cream, eye cream and a face mask. they are pretty reasonable sample sizes too, iv been able to use every one of these quite a few times and i love them.

I have used the Mario Badescu drying cream and it has worked really well, so I figured that this would be even better for my stubborn whiteheads. I've been applying it religiously for the past week, but unfortunately, they do not seem to be disappearing! I've had more luck with the cream.

As for deep pimples, this works very gradually. It will dry it up, but this product does not make anything disappear overnight. That is an exaggeration.

If you want to get rid of primarily whiteheads, give this a go. I guess it's still early for me to tell for sure, but the overnight claim is an exagerration for sure. I'll still continue to use it, because this seems to be the only product to eradicate whiteheads!!

This is the classic cult favorite pimple cream. It does what it promise, dry out pimples. When i see a little red dot almost coming out, i put this stuff on. It doesn't totally get rid of it, but it does help. The only down side is that it can be a bit drying. Especially when you're breaking out in a certain area and you put that stuff in larger areas. It does leave a pink mark and stain... oh and also smells horrible... but i can deal with it.

Simply amazing! This product does what it says it does : dries up blemishes. I always have this on hand for emergencies.
