    I got a sample of this with registration and this was my favorite. I normally can't use sulphur (and it does stink), at least ingesting it, but I am able to use this on my pimples sparingly. They...

    I can not stand this product. The smell is BAD!!! and I did not like how it feels while it is on. I think there are far better products out there than this. I will not be purchasing this again.

    My ex used to call it "magic cream" because I wouldn't go to bed without a white, weird smelling face and he hated it. I used it with MB cleanser and toner for about 2 months in a desperate attempt...

    Every morning when I wash off this drying cream, I notice that my zit has diminished a little or isn't too noticeable anymore. Unlike others, I can withstand the smell. It really isn't too bad, I...

    I got this as a free sample and thought I'd try it because I'm prone to minor breakouts. The smell isn't the best and it feels a little heavy going on your skin. *Updated: This really doesn't...

    What's great about Mario Badescu is that you can go to their website and fill out an online questionaire about you/your skin and they send you samples to try out (with a skincare regimen). I can...

    This smelled bad. Like a toned down version of the drying mask. It did seem to dry up my zits a bit but not enough to make me want to use it every night. Won't buy it again.

    Weird product. Smells bad, feels gross on (kinda greasy which is weird because its basically a sulfur cream). Didn't do anything for my zits. Pretty much a worthless product. The drying lotion...

    I like that I can wear this under makeup and it doesn't do anything strange to the color or consistency of the makeup I put on top of it. Drying cream has worked wonders on the tiny whiteheads...

    I really like this better than the drying lotion. It smells a bit ashy, but other than that, it does a gentler job drying out a pimple and not drying out the rest of my skin. It seems like it...

    Was completely ineffective for me. I've tried this time and time again, and it just manages to do absolutely nothing each time. The smell is just unpleasant as well. I don't recommend this.

    Great product,which really helps to dry pimples at night.I also use a very small amount in the day,as it helps my concealer stay on.
