Must have!
This stuff seriously works. I dab it on at night and by morning my blemishes are noticeably smaller and less angry. Great for spot treatment and lasts forever since you only need a tiny amount.

Holy Grail Spot Treatment - Amazing for Breakouts!
Effectiveness: This Mario Badescu Drying Lotion has been an absolute game-changer for dealing with occasional breakouts and stubborn blemishes. The overnight spot treatment works incredibly fast - I often wake up to find that angry, inflamed pimples have significantly reduced in size and redness after just one application. The zinc oxide and sulfur formula is powerful yet gentle enough that it doesn't over-dry or irritate my skin like some harsh acne treatments do. I love how it targets specific spots without affecting the surrounding healthy skin. The pink sediment at the bottom contains the active ingredients, so shaking it up and applying with a cotton swab gives precise application exactly where needed. Quality: Mario Badescu has built an excellent reputation in skincare, and this drying lotion maintains their high standards for effective, gentle formulations. The 1 fl oz bottle contains a surprisingly long-lasting amount of product since you only need tiny dabs for spot treatment. The consistency allows for precise application without waste, and the formula stays effective throughout the life of the product. The ingredients are well-balanced to provide acne-fighting benefits without the harsh side effects of more aggressive treatments. The packaging protects the formula integrity, and the dropper-style application method ensures hygiene and prevents contamination. Value for Money: This drying lotion provides incredible value when you consider how effectively it treats breakouts and prevents them from becoming larger, more inflamed problems. The small bottle lasts for months of regular use since you only apply it to specific spots, making the cost per treatment very reasonable. When I compare this to dermatologist visits or expensive acne systems, getting professional-quality spot treatment at this price is remarkable. The peace of mind knowing I have an effective solution for unexpected breakouts makes this worth far more than the modest cost. This has become my go-to emergency treatment for breakouts and consistently delivers fast, effective results. Highly recommend for anyone dealing with occasional acne or needing reliable spot treatment!

AMAZING, but goes on and dries PINK
LOVE this drying lotion. While I don't love that it goes on and dries PINK, it does work at drying pimples very very quickly. Definitely worth the money!

Good, but Temper Expectations
Mario Badescu’s Drying Lotion definitely looks like it should pack a punch — it’s loaded with salicylic acid, sulfur, and zinc oxide, so I expected a fast, heavy-hitting spot treatment. The formula has a really strong, almost medicinal smell (not exactly pleasant, but it makes you feel like it’s “doing something”). That said, for all the actives in here, the results weren’t as dramatic as I hoped. It helps a little with calming down surface blemishes, but it doesn’t magically erase them overnight or stop new ones from forming. With this much going on in the bottle, I thought it would be more effective. Decent to have on hand, but definitely not a cure-all. It does flake a bit overnight and you have to sleep on your back or else it might rub off on your pillow cases. FWIW it often gets mixed up in the bottle and you have to let it settle back into two parts. Lasts a long time, but I think they advertise this (even in the product name) as this magic bullet that clears you up overnight. It helps for sure, but not an overnight cure-all.

Since I turned 40 years old three years ago I have suffered with really bad cystic acne. So bad I couldn't leave the house. I tried EVERYTHING. I had been on Vyvanse for ADHD for several years. I looked like I belonged on The Faces of Meth. I quit the med cold turkey. 6 weeks later I had my face back. I am still off meds, but my good luck only lasted 3 months. Last week I woke up and my entire face was COVERED in red bumps. My forehead alone made me cry. I had nothing left to try. I got on to Amazon and found this product. I have used 90% isopropyl on my face & calamine lotion as well, so I wasn't sure if this would work. But I was desperate. It arrived the following day. The first few times I applied with a q-tip. I pulled half of the cotton off cuz I didn't want to waste it. I wasn't getting the coverage I wanted, and I had A LOT to cover. So I took an eyedropper and sucked up the sediment and gently squeezed the bulb of the eyedropper over my entire face. I rubbed it into my face each time with clean fingers. I went to bed. When I woke up I couldn't believe it. The bumps had all gone down and the redness was GONE. I still have tiny little scabs, but they aren't swollen, they no longer hurt and you can't really see them with the redness gone. I am SO grateful I stumbled on this. I read tons of reviews and as always there were lots of negative reviews. There always is. Not every product works for everyone. Lucky for me it did an incredible job!!! It's well worth the $20 to try it. I highly recommend giving it a chance.

Ho acquistato questo prodotto su consiglio di mia figlia che era curiosa di capire se davvero funzionasse. Il prodotto arriva nella busta rigida di cartone Amazon chiusa in una bustina di pluriball, integro. Il piccolo flaconcino è di vetro con tappo a vite di plastica. E' come "diviso" in due parti, sotto una parte rosa più solida, sopra una parte liquida trasparente. IL PRODOTTO NON VA AGITATO per l'utilizzo. Come si usa: intengere un cotton fioc o un pennellino direttamente sul fondo del flaconcino e prelevare solo una puntina di prodotto, picchiettarlo sull'imperfezione, non sull'intero viso. Poi pulire bene il pennellino e ripetere sulle altre imperfezioni. Lo scopo del prodotto: far seccare i brufoli: è veramente quello che succede quindi non li fa sparire dalla sera alla mattina, ma messo sull'imperfezione, la fa seccare quindi al mattino, al posto del brufolo infetto, trovarete il segno dello stesso ma sgonfio e senza più il pus. Questo è quello che è successo sia a me, che ho 40 anni e un acne leggero in età adulta, che sulle imperfezioni da pelle adolescenziale di mia figlia. La fragranza non mi è piaciuta, è un pò pungente. Nella descrizione riporta: formulato con acido salicilico, zolfo e ossido di zinco. Lo uso solo quando spunta qualche brufoletto, quindi non ogni giorno e trovo molto bene. Lavo poi accuratamente il viso la mattina seguente. Spero di esservi stata utile, grazie per aver letto la mia recensione!

Para la gente con granitos esporádicos es una maravilla. Los seca, y no deja marcas♥️

Súper eficiente. Seca los granos que están muy infectados de la noche a la mañana. Para que seque por completo hay que colocarlo por lo mínimo 2 noches seguidas (esto depende de que tan infectado esté el grano). A la primera aplicada, a la mañana siguiente ya tiene un aspecto más sano y menos rojo. Súper recomendado!
