    This was one of the free samples that I received from Mario Badescu's website. Initially I was hesitant to use it as my skin is already dry (with a pimple every now and then) and I didn't want it...

    This stuff basically sucks life out of pimples. It reduces redness and puffiness, flattens and dries them. Does wonders for deep-under-the-skin-painful-as-heck pimples. It takes 2 days for medium...

    This is one of the products I cannot live without! It totally changed my skin. It is made of sulfur (like the Queen Helen Mint Julip Mask -but much gentler) and lemon extract. It is formulated...

    I received this as a sample. It left large red spots around the area i was trying to treat and reddened the actual acne to a much more noticeable shade. I wouldn't repurchase as it did little...

    At first I didn't think it worked. The smell, to me, is a bit mustardy which I was totally appalled by. I did want to give it a fair chance so before my foundation the other day, I put the cream...

    I like this product for two reasons: it dries out pimples, and it works fast. There are cons to go with the positives of course: if you dont mind the smell of camomile, you wont mind this, it is a...

    This doesn't work nearly as well as any prescription medication for acne (Duac or Differin, for example) and I hate the weird pale color it leaves on my face. You have to use very sparingly in the...

    I use this for the occasional hormonal break out and it works. It does dry the heck out of the area where it has been applied though - at least on me it does. So I apply it sparingly and with a...

    Alright, here's the fact, this product gave me some cysts the very first week, but I thought that maybe it was just like Accutane (With Accutane your acne may seem to get worse at first, but should...

    This stuff doesn't work for me. It's so thick and gross that I pretty much stopped using it. When I would put it on, it would spread around really unevenly and make my face a weird color. The...
