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.

If you have discoloration from sun spots or old acne scars, I would recommend the following products to help improve your skin. The first suggestion would be to use the Suncare (SPF-30) to help moisturize and offer maximum protection against sun damage and further discoloration. Use the Whitening Mask 2-3 times a week for 5-7 minutes. This hydrating mask contains Kojic Acid and Licorice to help brighten uneven skin tones as it minimizes the discoloration of old acne scars. Lastly, I would suggest using the Glycolic Foaming Cleanser 2-3 times a week at night to remove surface dead skin and even out skin tone. The overall texture of your skin will become smoother as it effectively diminishes the appearance of acne scars.

I have had adult acne for four years, since I became pregnant with my son. I have tried Benzoyl Peroxide products, Salicylic Acid, Clindamycin, Differin Gel, antibiotics, getting monthly facials, and it still continues! I also have dark purple scarring that is very embarrassing and cannot be covered up. The main problem area is my jaw line/chin. Can you suggest anything?...Read Response

Acne occurs when the pores of the skin become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. Acne lesions are commonly referred to as pimples. Excessive secretion of oils from the glands combine with naturally occurring dead skin cells to block the hair follicles. Oil secretions build up beneath the blocked pore, providing a perfect environment for the skin bacteria. The best means to prevent acne is to maintain a proper skin care regimen. It is also important to make sure that you are not picking or squeezing any of the blemishes. It can spread the bacteria and cause unwanted scarring in the process. Although you have tried Benzoyl Peroxide, Differin, and other antibiotics, you may respond better to Sulfur, our primary acne fighting ingredient. The Acne Facial Cleanser (New) which contains 2% Salicylic Acid will help to encourage the sloughing of surface dead skin cells. This purifying cleanser will remove dirt and oil while preventing clogged pores and breakouts. Follow with the Special Cucumber Lotion, an anti-bacterial solution that will help to disinfect skin and discourage acne flare-ups. Follow with the Oil Free Moisturizer (SPF-17) to keep skin well hydrated and protected. Using a daily SPF will prevent the darker acne scars from further discoloration. Use the Drying Mask two to three times a week to combat blemishes and impurities. Formulated for acne prone skin, this Sulfur based mask will help to absorb excessive oil as it combats blemishes and impurities. Alternate twice a week with the Healing & Soothing Mask which contains a natural anti-inflammatory ingredient Balsam Peru to relieve acne related redness and irritation. For oily, dull, congested skin, use the Glycolic Foaming Cleanser 2-3 times a week instead of the Acne Facial Cleanser (New). Glycolic Acid helps to break down dead skin build-up from skins surface, reduce minor acne discoloration and leave skin radiant and smooth. The Drying Lotion is the perfect overnight spot treatment for surfaced whiteheads. Lastly, for stubborn cystic acne, the best spot treatment is the Sulfur based Buffering Lotion. It is a light, liquid antiseptic solution to soothe and heal cystic blemishes. Our customized regimens consist of specific products meant to help various skin concerns. Consistent use will offer optimal skin care results. Our priority is to help you achieve and maintain healthy, radiant skin.

I would like to know if it would be possible to have some samples of your products. I’m interested in many products but I’m not sure what’s right for me. I’m a south-east Asian girl and have sensitive/combination skin. I often have pimples and whiteheads on my t-zone and cheeks and I also have some scars. I’m looking for products to help my pimples heal faster. I swim twice a week and that dries my skin severely and causes me to breakout more. I look forward to hearing from you....Read Response

Having sensitive/combination skin requires extra-gentle care and by using our Seaweed Cleansing Soap you will not only cleanse your skin but also exfoliate. To remove oily build-up and bacteria that cause acne the Special Cucumber Lotion will disinfect your skin and prevent breakouts. To provide light-weight moisture and daily sun-protection our Aloe Moisturizer (SPF-15) helps to soften and heal the skin. The Flower & Tonic Mask will gently deep clean your pores as well as soothe your skin and create a more refined look. Use the Healing Cream to speed up the healing process of irritated skin, minimize redness and aid in the prevention of scarring. Our best selling Drying Lotion is an excellent spot treatment for those surfaced whiteheads.
