    WOW!! I ♥ this stuff! I can't believe this little sucker actually helped my cystic acne. I wish I would've known about this product years ago or else my skin wouldn't go through such a mess!...

    This little bottle is amazing! I got the first one as a gift from someone, and I've repurchased twice since. This works amazingly! Whenever I start breaking out (usually in patches), I put this on...

    This WORKS, and I'm still in awe. I've been using Tretinoin and AHA's religiously for many years, but I do still get the occasional cystic bump. Mine tend to hang around for months and NEVER come...

    For me, the buffering lotion is effective on some spots, but not others. I still think that the Drying Lotions (the pink stuff) works better, but the buffering lotion is a very decent spot zapper,...

    This product works, it's as simple as that. My only gripe is the packaging. It's an eye dropper style which isn't the easiest thing to handle but whatever. Also, I think it's important to note...

    I bought this product because about twice a month I get a cystic pimp - the huge kind that NEVER seem to form a head and if you try to pop them, they just get bigger and never leave your face. I...

    HG! This stuff is amazing! I was waiting to write a review because I didn't want to jinx it but it really did help my skin. If I put it on the painful under the skin pimples it clears them up 80%...

    So-so product. Sometimes it helps- sometimes does not. I might buy it again if I'll be absolutely desperate and if I will not find anything better.

    I love Mario Badescu--this line has totally saved my skin. However, I was a little worried about the Buffering Lotion because I couldn't imagine how it worked. But it DOES work, and it's fantastic....

    Worst pimple product I've ever tried. It doesn't heal formed cystic pimples and what's so hateful about this is that it causes pimple marks. The formula is so runny, like a watery consistency....

    This product works pretty well for me. I apply it as a spot treatment (eventhough it's not) every night to the affected area. I have a whopper of a zit right now! I put some on it last night and...
