The bottle of drying lotion I bought about 1 year ago is losing its hydration. There is still about 1/3 of a bottle of pink stuff on the bottom, but most of the liquid is gone. Can I rehydrate it and if so how? I love this product. Thank you....Read Response

Thank you for your interest in Mario Badescu Skin Care. The life span of the .Drying Lotion all depends on the frequency of use. When the liquid portion of the product is gone, it is an indication to purchase a new one. I would recommend applying the solution with q-tips that have very minimal cotton on the head. After you insert the q-tip into the bottle, gently tap the q-tip against the interior rim to squeeze out any excess liquid. Please do not add any liquid and discard the current bottle

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 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 am a relatively new user of your products. I have Rosacea and I have the Chamomile products. My directions for applying the Chamomile Night Cream says to "avoid nose and chin"...Im curious as to why...also do you mean the ENTIRE nose including the bridge and the ENTIRE chin meaning beginning right under my lips?...Read Response
(asked by Charlene M. of Unknown) |

If you are dry all over, you can apply the Chamomile Night Cream cream everywhere avoiding the eye area. However, if someone happens to have a bit of any oilier T-zone, we would recommend avoiding the nose and chin area to avoid excess shine. Basically, you can apply the Chamomile Night Cream on the drier areas of your face before bedtime.

I just want to ask what is the shelf life of the Drying Lotion? I live in a humid tropical country. Will the product last if I put it in the refrigerator? Usually, a bottle will last me for a year or a year and a half......Read Response
(asked by Lulu T. of Unknown) |

No worries, the shelf life of the Drying Lotion is approximately one year. Its not neccessary to store in the refrigerator, however, its important to keep the cap tightly closed.The lifespan of the Drying Lotion all depends on the frequency of use. When the liquid portion is gone, it is an indication to purchase a new one. I would recommend applying the solution with q-tips that have minimal cotton on the head. After inserting the q-tip into the bottle, gently tap the q-tip against the interior rim to squeeze out any excess liquid. Please do not add any liquid to the bottle at any point.

I bought your Drying Lotion and I left it out by mistake. My daughter saw the bottle and shook it, thinking she was doing me a favor mixing the pink and the clear lotion. I was wondering if the solution will settle over time or is the bottle totally ruined....Read Response

If the Drying Lotion is accidentally shaken, no worries, the product is perfectly fine. Simply set the Drying Lotion down to allow the product to separate and resettle. It is an excellent spot treatment for surfaced whiteheads. Before using, insert a q-tip into the bottle than dab directly onto surfaced whiteheads at bedtime and leave on overnight.
