Favorite Drugstore Mascara Thus Far

This is one of the best mascaras I've tried in a long time. I typically stay within the Maybelline brand name for mascaras as is, but this one is fantastic. Great length and volume, and last all day. The only not even that bad thing is that it is hard to wash off. Waterproof mascara for sure: It stays put! Great for long wear, and for dramatic lashes. LOVE this mascara!!!

Great Calming Mask For Redness and Irritation

I'm a huge mask person, and this one went right along with my top 5. It's a clean mask that does not harden, and leaves your skin soft and refreshed. It's said to calm the skin from irritation, and reduce redness. It did just that! When my skin was broken out badly and dried out from acne products, it calmed my skin and reduced bumpiness and redness that had been left behind from stress breakouts and products. Great mask for all skin types, but highly recommend for those with sensitive skin or rosacea.

Smells Great Feels Great!

Interesting sample choice for me. I don't typically use night creams on my skin, because I don't like applying products on my skin at night in fear that it will break me out by the morning. This product did not do that. It's a light cream that saturates the skin and keeps it hydrated, but it does not leave the skin greasy. I can't even explain to you the consistency of this night cream. It's almost like a silky texture. It goes on nicely, sets evenly without being oily, and it smells AMAZING. If you're not a fan of floral scents then I'd say this is not for you, but I loved the way it smelt; so fresh! I also enjoyed how my skin felt after waking up in the morning: soft, supple, and hydrated. It helped with dry spots, and uneven texture on my face. I would recommend this nigh cream for those wanting to try something different.

Great product but a little pricey for my taste...will get some later

I wanted to just try this product out before purchasing it, because I've had a lot of cleansers dry my skin out pretty bad. I must say this one did not dry out my skin, and left my face feeling soft and cleared of acne. I will be purchasing some of this when I can afford it. Though it doesn't foam like most other cleansers I use (had to get used to that), it cleaned my skin way better than the others. It goes on in a gel like consistency, and a little goes a long way. You massage this into wet skin, and simple rinse off. You'll be amazed at how clean and soft your skin will feel after using this cleanser. Then after a few days of using, you'll notice a dramatic difference in how well your skin has cleared up from acne (or at least I did). I highly recommend trying this acne cleanser.

Best For Sensitive or Irritated Skin

I got this toner as a sample, because my skin gets irritated very easily and this was said to calm the skin while nourishing it with aloe vera. I must say I like using this toner when my skin is inflamed and irritated for its soothing ability. It's a little thicker than your average toner, which is nice for applying on inflamed or cracked skin. It soothes and comforts the skin, and even has a nice fresh scent. I really like this toner; not for my everyday toner, but for when my skin is giving me serious problems. Great toner :)

Best when used for whiteheads only

I had high expectations for this product. It was hyped to clear up whiteheads and pimples overnight. While it did clear up whiteheads relatively fast, I was a little set back that it didn't clear up all my pimples right away. But to my surprise I found out why: This product is designed to dry up the sebum that builds up in clogged pores that causes whiteheads to appear on the skin, not deep set pimples like what I have where the sebum is still under the surface. While this did disappoint me some due to the fact that I have more cystic acne than whiteheads, it did clear up my occasional whiteheads satisfactorily. So my overall verdict for this product is that if you have cystic acne like I do, I would recommend the drying cream instead of the lotion, and if you have whiteheads I'd say go for this drying lotion. This product does work for what it says it's for. I just got too caught up in it, and thought it'd work on cystic acne. So don't be set back on this product either.

Great for oily skin and clogged pores

I must say this is an odd product, but well worth the purchase. This is a powder in which you dampen a cotton ball, and apply as a "paste" to the face. It's said to clear up blackheads and eliminate oil, while shrinking pores. While using this product, I did notice my oily complexion clearing up and blackheads diminishing. However, I will say that not all my blackheads cleared up. But don't let that stop you from purchasing this product. I happen to have extremely oily skin around my T-zone, and it's very hard to keep it free from blackheads. While this product didn't get all my blackheads (which I expected it wouldn't), it did make a significant difference in the appearance of my skin and clearing it up. The only thing I can say I really didn't like about this powder was the fall out. Yes, fall out. Since it is a powder in which you apply with a damp cotton ball, while you allow it to dry you will see powder falling off your face. This is normal as it dries, but I did find it hard to eat while having the mask on. I recommend not snacking while using this product to keep it from getting in your food, and you ingesting it. Other than that, this product works quite well.

Perfect Mask for Getting Skin Summer Ready :)

his was my first purchase from Mario Badescu, and I must say I'm a big fan. It's used to reduce the appearance of acne scars and discolorations on the skin. After using this for a few months, I have noticed seeing a lightening of the acne scars on my cheeks and chin. I was amazed! I had used so many different products to clear up my scars, and this one has done so much to lighten them. This is definitely a product that anyone with acne scars should try out. I love it!

My Favorite (affordable) Wash EVER!!!

I love this cleanser! It removes dirt and oil really well, and it leaves skin soft and smooth. But as the name suggest (ice), it gives the face a cooling effect when you wash. It's almost nasal clearing. The eucalyptus scent is very powering, and it will awaken your senses. It gives the skin a slight tingling feeling, but I must say for me this is an added bonus. I love the way my skin feels after using this, and even more so...the way it looks! After using this product, I can honestly say that my acne has been more controllable than when using other acne washes. I highly recommend this wash for anyone looking for a good and affordable face wash.

LOVE them!

They work amazingly to remove dirt, oil, and blackheads, and better than most topical cleansers/astringents. I find this to be my Holy Grail product for removing blackheads. Simply a life saver.
