    I tend to get deep, cystic type acne. When they first appear I immediately apply the Drying Lotion. It takes time for it to completely disappear, but they never come to the surface! I prefer them...

    This stuff is great if you use it as soon as you see a blemish coming, dabbing on a little of this will usually make it go away overnight. If you don't catch the spot as soon as it appears and its...

    Have been using this for a long time and love it. The only con is that you can end up wasting a lot of the liquid if you have only a small pimple to treat, since you have to dip your qtip in to...

    The lotion is runny and the powder can come off easily when the lotion dries. Best way to use it, as i learn thru trial and error, is mix the solution (i know the instruction tells you not to mix),...

    The trick, i think, to using this product is piling on A LOT of that pink stuff. Pimples go away faster using this, but there are no miracles to making a zit disappear so it's not going to go away...

    I really like this product for my occasional pimples. It definitely seems to help make them go away more quickly. My redness was diminished as well. It stings like the devil if you get it on broken...

    Really good product-I like to use this on those kind of zits that you want the white head to erupt and this just seems to draw everything out of the pimple! Love Mario Badescu products!

    Talk about a great product! If you can stand the strong smell of rubbing alcohol and a little drying... try it!! Make sure to buy Q-tips. It is the type of product that will completely dry out...
