    I've always suffered from cystic acne, esp. during TOM, and whenever I feel a cystic acne brewing, I slather this on and it does a good job at keeping them at bay; doesn't make them disappear, but...

    Overall, I like this product because it's effective and I would purchase it again, considering it's very affordable. I felt a cystic pimple or a nodule on the tip of my nose coming on for a few...

    The packaging of this product is not very good. It leaks and product gets wasted, eek! However, the product does its job. Works well on cystic acne and can make them come to a head A LOT faster...

    Got this in a kit w/ the Drying Lotion and Drying Cream. Drying Lotion works. Drying cream dries skin, not pimples. But this Buffering Lotion doesn't seem to do anything.

    Does it work? Yes and no. I started to feel a cystic acne form underneath my skin, so I quickly dabbed this on at night. No, it didn't stop the cystic acne from forming even bigger, but it...

    I found that Mario Badescu's buffering lotion on under the surface acne (meaning NOT on whiteheads or blackheads, but those red, large, painful, inflamed pimples) works best. It helps bring the...

    This one works, out of all the acne products I've tried. You just need to know the trick which is "when" and "how" to apply this. When I feel like a pimple is about to start, I apply this with a...
