Hi - I have rosacea - not severe, I would say moderate. I have a lot of redness on my nose and that somewhat branches out to my cheeks. The MB products I have are the makeup remover soap, chamomile cleansing lotion, control cream, calma mask and aloe moisturizer. I noticed a lot of the redness calmed down for a while, but I really think it hasnt been as calm since Ive been using the aloe moisturizer which I bought later than the anti-redness kit. I cant use the control cream alone in the mornings because it has a tacky feeling on my skin and I use a powdery mineral makeup. Is there something you can recommend for a moisturizer that would be good for day and night to use in connection with the control cream that wont aggravate the rosacea and that doesnt feel sticky - I have to have a non-sticky surface or my mineral makeup wont go on smoothly and Im def. not ready to give it up! Also, do you have a recommendation for an eye cream - Im starting to get dark circles and lines as I am aging (Im almost 36). Thanks so much for your help! Until I threw the moisturizer in the mix I was really seeing a difference in the redness - more a difference than any prescription products I have tried! ...Read Response

Thank you for your interest in Mario Badescu Skin Care. We’re glad to hear that you’ve been enjoying the skin care line so far. If you think the .Aloe Moisturizer (SPF-15) is too heavy for you. I would suggest using the Control Moisturizer For Oily Skin. It is oil free, absorbs quickly without leaving a sticky residue and is great for sensitive skin prone to redness. For best results, always wait a few minutes to allow for absorption before applying your make up. Regarding an eye cream recommendation, one of the best combinations would be using 3-4 drops of the Cellufirm Drops underneath the daily Hyaluronic Eye Cream. The Cellufirm Drops help to minimize the appearance of fine lines while The Hyaluronic Eye Cream hydrates the delicate under eye area as it retains your own skin’s moisture levels. It’s the perfect anti-aging combination.

I have used Mario Badescu for many years and now have a daughter who is 10 years old and is showing signs of acne on her forehead. She has little bumps on her mid forehead. My question… is she old enough to start using these products? If so what do you recommend so that she can begin a daily routine?...Read Response

Thank you for your interest in Mario Badescu Skin Care. Since your daughter is very young I would recommend that she uses just a couple of products and to keep her regimen simple until she enters her earlier teen years. If your 10 year old daughter is showing early signs of minor bumps and blemishes she may be experiencing a bit more oil production, especially on the t-zone area. I would suggest that she use the Enzyme Cleansing Gel twice daily to gently cleanse her skin then follow with the Aloe Lotion toner. The Aloe Lotion is a very soothing, mild toner with 2% alcohol to remove excess oils and impurities, for best results use twice daily after cleansing. I would start off with these two products first then consider expanding on her regimen within the next couple of years.

I recently had a facial and the esthetician advised me to start thinking about anti-aging products, particularly those w/collagen for fine lines on my forehead. Can you recommend a moisturizer - both for day and a night cream - that would address this issue? My skin is dry and not particularly sensitive....Read Response

I am currently using the Enzyme Cleansing Gel alternated with the Cream Soap in the mornings, Seaweed Cleansing Lotion and the Control Cream. I live in the dry desert and have dehydrated skin, but with an oily T-zone. I have to use the Control Cream because when I stop using it, I will get itchy, red spots on different parts of my face. I like how thick it is because it feels like it is giving me hydration, but I need something that is a bit lighter to use during the daytime in the summer. I cannot use anything with a sunscreen as the chemicals in them give me a rash. What would you suggest to be a good alternative or add-on to the Control Cream? PS I have very fair skin, but it has a bit of redness from past harsh acne treatments....Read Response

We’re glad to hear that you’ve been enjoying the Control Cream, one of our most popular products for sensitive skin. If you’re looking for a slightly lighter alternative for the summer season but you’re sensitive to sunscreen I would recommend using the Buttermilk Moisturizer to offer lightweight moisture daily. It contains Azulene, a derivative of chamomile, to calm and soothe sensitive skin types. You can still continue to a little of the Control Cream as needed on the flaky areas of redness underneath the Buttermilk Moisturizer.

I have a question regarding acne scarring. I am a 38 yr old female. When I was young I had an acne problem. I still get an ocassional outbreak but for the most part my face is pimple free. I was taking an antibiotic for sometime but stopped taking it when I got pregnant. As I am getting older and now with a 4 month old I feel as if my scarring is more noticeable. I was having dermabrasion done monthly for about 2 yrs however it did not appear to make much of a difference. Is there anything I can do to lessen the appearance of acne scarring?...Read Response

If you experience some discoloration, I would first recommend using a daily SPF for your skin such as the Aloe Moisturizer (SPF-15). Using gently AHA’s such as fruit extracts and glycolic acid will help to gently even out your skin tone. Hyper-pigmention and discoloration may take a long time to even out. I would strongly recommend using a daily SPF such as the Oil Free Moisturizer (SPF-17) or higher to hydrate and protect your skin for further discoloration. Then I would consider using the Glycolic Foaming Cleanser 2-3 times a week at night only to help promote gentle exfoliation as it evens out skin tone. Do not over use this product as it may over dry the skin, otherwise this deep cleansing treatment will be very effective for lessening the appearance of old acne scars. Lastly, you could use the Whitening Mask 2-3 times a week for 10 minutes to help brighten the skin and even out overall skin tone as it discourages further discoloration.

Dry, flaking hands are a common problem amongst many individuals. Luckily there are moisturizers that can help. I would recommend the Special Hand Cream with Vitamin E to help keep your skin well moisturized daily. It’s absolutely amazing it makes dry hands feel soft and hydrated.

In the winter I have patches of dry skin on my forehead above each eyebrow. It flakes and peels like a sunburn. It doesn’t itch, it’s just mainly annoying. Do you have a product that might help?...Read Response

If you have dry patches on your forehead and above each eyebrow, I would recommend using a little of the Control Cream. Our famous anti-redness cream is an effective treatment for dry, flaky and irritated skin types. This product will help to alleviate any patches of dryness on your skin.

If you are looking for a product to help minimize pores, I would recommend the Temporary Lifting Mask. This mask is formulated with Egg Albumin to naturally help firm and minimize large pores to improve the overall appearance of the skin. Use it 2-3 times a week for 5-7 minutes for effective results. Consistent use will provide a quick boost and a flawless finish.
