If you have oily skin with hyper-pigmentation, the first thing I would recommend using is the Oil Free Moisturizer (SPF-17) to protect the skin from further discoloration. Use the Botanical Facial Gel twice daily to cleanse skin and control oil. I would also suggest the Glycolic Foaming Cleanser to deep clean and exfoliate surface dead skin to even out discoloration. Lastly, the Whitening Mask may be used 2-3 times a week for 5-7 minutes to help brighen and even out skin tone. With regular and consistent use, your skin should feel less oily and in time more even toned, especially on your forehead.

I do not t really have that bad of a complexion but there are times where I just want to rip my face off. I always get pimples in the same spots on my face and they are on the corner of each side of my chin and my right cheek. I also get these very light little bumps that are not pimples but under the skin and sometimes will turn into one and have blackheads on my nose and chin and they really bother me. What regimen would you suggest for my skin type? I am also am very sensitive and have very light skin....Read Response

Having combination/sensitive with occasional blemishes, it sounds as though one of our gentle cleansing product regimens for combination skin would effectively help improve your skin. I would first recommend using the Enzyme Cleansing Gel twice daily to cleanse skin and remove oil and impurities. Follow with our Seaweed Cleansing Lotion, which is a non-drying, non-alcohol toner that cleans and disinfects dry and sensitive skin. Mild Witch Hazel formula removes pore clogging debris while Aloe Extract soothes sensitive areas. Use the oil-free Aloe Moisturizer (SPF-15) daily to soften dry skin without clogging pores. Prevent pores from clogging by using the Flower & Tonic Mask 1-2 times a week on the t-zone. This is a combination purifying and calming mask for congested, bumpy or slightly oily skin types. The Kaolin based formula absorbs dirt and oil from pores while the soothing, botanical Balsam Peru ingredient soothes minor redness and irritation. For the occasional surfaced whitehead pimples that you experience, the Drying Lotion will help to dry it up overnight. The most effective spot treatment for deep bumps is the Sulfur based Buffering Lotion. It is a light, liquid antiseptic solution to soothe and heal cystic blemishes.

I am a repeat Mario Badescu customer, and I currently use the Enzyme Cleanser, Glycolic Cleanser twice a week, Cucumber Cleansing Lotion and AHA and Ceramide Moisturizer. I have had problem skin in the past that is now under control due to prescriptions and your products. The only problem I have left is that I use Retin A 5 times a week and now that the weather is colder, sensitive areas of my skin sill dry out very easily. I will sometimes wake up w/very flaky skin, and no matter how much moisturizer I use, it remains flaky for a day or two. Can you recommend a moisturizer that I can either wear at night w/my prescription product, or a day time moisturizer that might help the flakiness without being problematic for my oily T-zone?...Read Response

Based on the information that you have provided regarding your skin type, I would recommend that you use the Seaweed Night Cream as on oil-free moisturizer before bedtime. Then as a daytime choice you may consider the Aloe Moisturizer (SPF-15). It is an oil-free moisturizer that helps to soothe sensitive, dry skin without clogging pores. I would also suggest the Herbal Hydrating Serum. It is an oil-free hydrating gel that can be applied on top of your moisturizer for an extra hydrating boost of moisture. This change should help reduce the dry, flakiness you are experiencing. If however, you still feel dry after adding these products, I would recommend changing your toner from the Cucumber Cleansing Lotion to the Seaweed Cleansing Lotion for the winter season. It is an alcohol free, witch hazel based toner that will remove oil and impurities without drying the skin.

I am very interested in buying your Special Healing Powder, but I am afraid that the Sulfur in it will irritate my skin since I am using Benzoyl Peroxide. Can they both be used at the same time?...Read Response
(asked by Maria C. of Newark, NJ) |

If you are currently using topical nightly Benzoyl Peroxide, I would avoid using the Special Healing Powder at the same time. Benzoyl Peroxide calms inflammation and kills bacteria that cause pimples. It also dries out the skin by reducing the oil on your skins surface. Since the Sulfur based Special Healing Powder helps to fight acne causing bacteria as it absorbs excess oil output, the combination of the two may over dry and irritate your skin.
