This product speeds up healing time and cuts down the chances of the pimple leaving a scar because it keeps the area from drying out too quickly, which makes scarring or blotching more likely.

Awhile back, I received a envelope full of samples from Mario Badescu. Included was a small sample of their Healing Cream. The description in the pamphlet they included said that this cream helps prevent acne scars and speeds up the healing process, so I was anxious to try it out.

I was thrilled to find out that it really did help with the acne that was beginning to heal. In addition, it also helped to fade some existing scars.

The product has a very faint perfume scent (nothing like sulfur, thank goodness), and the creamy consistency does slowly dry up over time, but it does not change the effectiveness of the product. I will definitely be purchasing more.
