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

Dear Ms. Wong
Thank you for your interest in Mario Badescu Skin Care. Each of the products that you have is meant for serving a specific anti acne purpose.
The Drying Lotion is a great spot treatment made with a blend of calamine and salicylic acid to dry up surfaced whitehead pimples overnight.
To use: Do not shake- Insert a q-tip to the bottom of the bottle then dab directly on top of surfaced whitehead pimple before bedtime and leave on overnight.
Buffering Lotion is a spot treatment for deeply rooted cystic blemishes-helps to calm inflammation and promote healing.
To use: Shake well then apply 1-2 drops on any deep cystic blemish using finger tip to apply on any deep cystic blemishes to promote healing.
Anti-Acne Serum is a 2% salicylic acid based gel that helps to keep acne at bay.
To use: Apply 3-4 drops on acne prone areas of the face before bedtime to gently exfoliate surface dull skin build up and to keep it smooth and clear

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 have been using Mario Badescu products for a couple months now and so far I am very pleased with the results. I am 20 years old and I have been struggling with acne for many years now, and my acne has been clearing up thanks to the Mario Badescu products but I am noticing that I have a lot of sun spots, acne scars and little pimples on my forehead. Could you suggest any products that would help? I am also wondering what you would recommend for a day and night moisturizer and also an eye cream. I am also noticing little white dots under my eyes. Any ideas? Products? Thank you so much! I love Mario Badescu products!...Read Response

We are glad to hear that you have had such positive results with our skin care line. In regards to sun spots and old acne scars, I recommend using the Oil Free Moisturizer (SPF-17). It will help to balance your skin and ensure that your skin does not become too dry. In addition, it will offer daily sun protection to prevent further discoloration of any hyper-pigmentation. The Glycolic Foaming Cleanser will deep clean your skin and promote gentle cell turnover to help remove surface dull skin build up. With consistent use, it will even out skin tone and improve the overall texture of your skin. We recommend that you use it 1-2 times a week in place of your regular cleanser. The "little white dots" that you have under your eyes may be Milia. Milia are deep seeded white bumps that form when skin cells become trapped rather than exfoliate naturally. They should be taken care of by a dermatologist. In the meantime, avoid the use of any eye creams, especially heavier ones. You may however use the Ceramide Eye Gel, an ultra-lightweight hydrating eye gel that can be stored in the refrigerator. Use a little morning and night to soften the delicate eye area while it calms down any under eye the puffiness.

My daughter just turned twelve and she has the occasional pimple (usually small not much pus). Is she too young to use your acne products? If not, what products would you recommend? I thought about purchasing the Drying Lotion to apply to the pimples when she gets one. Would she need any other products?...Read Response

Since your daughter is twelve years old and she experiences the occasional pimple, I would recommend a simple, mild regimen to help keep her skin clean and healthy. I would suggest that she begin using the Enzyme Cleansing Gel twice daily. This non-foaming, gel cleanser thoroughly removes dirt and oil without drying the skin. Papaya Extracts are exfoliating Alpha Hydroxy Acids that helps prevent dull skin build-up that can cause blackheads and pimples. After cleansing, follow with the Seaweed Cleansing Lotion toner. This witch hazel formula gently removes pore clogging oils and disinfects sensitive skin to prevent blackheads. It is important to use a deep pore cleansing mask such as the Flower & Tonic Mask. Use it 2-3 times a week for 15 minutes to remove impurities and excess oils to prevent clogged pores and blemishes. One other product that your daughter would need to complete her regimen is the Drying Lotion. It will help to effectively dry up any surfaced whiteheads overnight.

My 17 year old son has tried everything and I mean everything. Nothing helps. He gets cystic acne, blackheads and whiteheads. It is all over his face and some on his chest and back. He is a runner and his skin is very oily all the time! We see a dermatologist and nothing works, it just makes him even oilier. My main question is do these products contain the same drug as Sulfa drugs? Some say they are Sulfur based; I’m assuming that if someone is allergic to Sulfa drugs then they cannot use them. I feel so sorry for him because he is a great looking kid; they took the acne away on his senior pictures and he is model material. He doesn’t want to ask a girl our because of his skin. We wash everything, sheets, etc. in hot water and tide free. We even tried apple fasting and micro-derm abrasion. I would be willing to put him as an advertisement for you if you just fix it ASAP. Can you recommend what we need? Please help him!...Read Response

Based on the information that you have provided regarding your 17 year old sons acne prone skin, I am recommending a product regimen for oily, acne prone skin. Many of our Sulfur based products are beneficial for acne prone skin types however, since Sulfa is related to it, it is best to avoid it. The Acne Facial Cleanser (New) which contains 2% Salicylic Acid will help to encourage the sloughing of surface dead skin cells. This will prevent clogged pores and future blemishes. He can follow with the Alcohol-free Seaweed Cleansing Lotion which is a Witch Hazel based toner that will help to soften and purify the skin. After using the toner, I would recommend Control Moisturizer For Oily Skin. It is an excellent daytime moisturizer that will help to calm and soothe acne related redness. The deep pore cleansing Cucumber Tonic Mask should be used 2-3 times a week for 15-20 minutes to absorb excess oils and prevent clogged pores. He should avoid using any abrasive scrubs while experiencing breakouts. However, I would suggest the Glycolic Foaming Cleanser 2-3 times a week at night to deep clean, gently exfoliate surface dead skin to prevent blackheads and even out discoloration from old acne scars. The Drying Lotion is the perfect overnight spot treatment for surfaced whiteheads. For more stubborn cystic acne, the Buffering Lotion will help to calm the inflammation and promote healing.

My question is regarding my 15 year old daughter. Her back and chest area are very spotty and she has quite a few deep blackheads, which eventually turn into whiteheads. She has scarred her back with all the picking and squeezing. Can you please recommend what products she should use to prevent more blackheads from appearing along with something to heal her skin and improve the texture? She has spots on her face, but no where near as many as she has on her body. ...Read Response

For your daughters back and chest acne, I suggest bathing with our A.H.A. Botanical Body Soap which contains Grapefruit and Papaya Extract that will deep clean her skin and exfoliate surfaced dead skin as well as preventing clogged pores. She should avoid using any scrubs or sponges on the delicate breakout zones as it will only further irritate her skin. After showering applying Special Cleansing Lotion O (For chest and back only) with a cotton pad to dry up blemishes and prevent future breakouts. Using the Drying Mask on acne prone areas of her chest and back will reduce surface oiliness and control breakouts while drying up acne-affected areas. As spot treatments our Drying Lotion is excellent at clearing up and soothing whiteheads overnight while our Buffering Lotion is designed to target and prevent deep, cystic blemishes. The Drying Cream can be used daily to dry up small pimples that appear as raised bumps in oily areas of her skin.
I am recommending a skin care regimen for combination skin with occasional breakouts. For her face the Enzyme Cleansing Gel will not only remove face make-up and pore-clogging debris but maintain her skins natural moisture. To disinfect her skin and prevent any future breakouts use the Special Cucumber Lotion which will promote proper healing. She needs to hydrate her skin without clogging any of her pores and the Oil Free Moisturizer (SPF-17) is highly absorbent and provides protection from the sun. To absorb excess oils and to prevent future blackheads our Flower & Tonic Mask will soothe her skin and create a smoother refined look. Our world famous Drying Lotion made with a blend of Calamine and Salicylic Acid heals and dries those unsightly whiteheads.
