Have the Drying lotion and it’s good. Not good enough to zap away hormonal breakouts unless they have been popped (don’t pop them) but pesky little spots disappear after 2-3 days of using the lotion on them. Have a scrub from here too, now this, isn’t so good. If you have combination skin that is also sensitive this won’t be for you. Maybe use once a month not more. Recommended use is 2 times a week and that is too much, my skin feels raw and irritated, never mind visibly distressed. The plus side of this is it actually gets rid of about three layers of your skin at once. So if you have oily and thick skin this, I would think, is perfect for you. Keep in mind that “suitable for all skin types” is a lie- just ask any dermatologist.

So far, so good...
I got some Mario Badescu products recently; drying lotion, silver powder, flower and tonic mask, enzyme cleansing gel, drying cream and rose water facial spray. I love them all! I get hormonal acne and suffer from an oily tzone that leads to blackheads! The drying lotion has worked at reducing red acne zits OVER NIGHT! Have to moisturise a lot more, as it’s made my skin a little dry in places, but if anything has just shown how weak my moisturiser was.. The facial mist is divine and leaves my skin fresh throughout the day (altho I cant say it does much else but smell nice?!). The silver powder I am not sure if I will continue to see a difference, but it has reduced my blackhead clogged nose pores after two uses! They’re lighter and lesser and I think overtime once I get the knack for using it I will love it more. The flower and tonic mask, I’m not sure if it made much difference, however using twice a week and hoping after a month it shows to have helped my oily blemish prone skin chill out a bit. I love using the drying cream in the day, although it pills with moisturiser, so have to wait inbetween layering and use last, so probably not going to work with make up- but I don’t really wear much if at all. The enzyme cleansing gel I had to google if I was using right as it doesn’t foam up or really even feel like it’s doing anything on my skin when I use it, however after my skin definitely feels tighter, cleaner and brighter. Overall I’m converted more or less to Mario badescu! I love the scents of the products and how they leave my skin feeling. A little more on the pricier side but so far so worth it! I think they should include how to use guides or let people know about their YouTube guides, as they really helped me know how to use each product to their full potential, without damaging my skin.

The face mists are incredible
The face mists are incredible. Not keen on the smell however the actual product leaves your skin feeling super glowy and hydrated. Great price.

This is a scam company
This is a scam company. fake fake fake. i lost all my money for a product which was not delivered. this is romanian scam. EU investigate romanian scams. EU law is just what is written in paper, it is not effective and like every other EU law, not worth the paper ii is written on. where can we complain? there is no contact information where we can send information? @UKECC ineffectual EU law.

Spent £85 and could not be more disappointed.
After taking a skin analysis test, Mario Badescu suggested the products I should purchase for my skin. The regime I was prompted to buy included the enzyme gel cleanser, the seaweed cleansing lotion, the oil free moisturiser, the botanical face scrub and the flower and tonic mask. I have been using for about 2-3 weeks now and I’m so unhappy. My skin has broken out like never before! I have irritations all over my face ( and I’m not allergic to anything) just completely unsatisfied! And to top it off it cost be £85!!!! Biggest waste of my hard earned money, very disappointed. Do not recommend these products, however can’t speak for the other products.

It needs to improve cleansing ability
The blackhead on my nose is my nightmare, esp in summer. I have to use the blackhead remover product. I have tried several brands. I'd like to give it 6 scores (10 scores in total). It can extract some (not all) blackheads from my nose and make it easier for me to squeeze them out via the pimple pin.
But it can't deeply clean them up. Roughly 2 days later, I have to use it to remove blackheads again. This kind of frequency will expand pores on my nose. Each time after I finish the cleanup, my nose is quite red and slightly swelling. That's really ugly.
