RAVE!!!

Price $25 (not bad for the amount of product you get and how little you use each time)

Container (squeeze bottle which is great for travel. Its plastic so I’m not nervous having it on my sink)

Results (My tons of clogged pores on my cheeks and jaw-line have diminished in size and my 2 cysts that were about to get really bad have actually gone down and become less red. Also, I have a lot of post acne marks on my cheeks from past cystic acne breakouts and those scars are a little less red. I have also noticed a difference in the overall texture of my skin…it appears more refined…smooth. )

Pros (Love the container…easy to travel with and its plastic so I’m not worried about it breaking, Works quickly, no irritation, spreads easily and easy to control)

Cons (This is a gel so it tends to peel but I wear it at night so I’m ok with it. )

Side note!! I have never bought a product from Mario Badescu that I did not love! Great packaging…great price…cant go wrong.

I just bought their Acne serum...
not super impressed with that- it is ok and the ingredients are good,but was expecting a better result.
for $20 I guess it is ok.

I also do not like their hand cream,
Did not care for the smell of it, was very herbal.
But it did work well.

I like everything else I've tried so far Smile

I guess my statement isnt totally true...I have not enjoyed any of the facial moisturizers that I've tried...all too heavy....but I'm really picky when it comes to moisturizers.

I havent tried the acne serum...I'm prego and have stopped using all BHA to be on the safe side.

I actually just got the control lotion and that one is nice and light.

The healing cream is also good for redness too,really helped for my extremely red elbows-but use on the face sometimes too.

Their eye creams, they are ok but did not really do anything amazing.
But I have to add that for just a regular eye cream, they are good. price is ok too.

I've only gotten samples of their eye creams many times and the dermonecin eye cream is nice..too rich for me to use for day though.
The eye gel also is not as light as I'd like..maybe better for winter for me.

So far my favorite products is whitening mask, buffering lotion, drying mask


And their rosewater face spray is really good.
Actually better than I expected and it is only $7 for a bottle Smile
Definitely going to be a repeat purchase for me as it feels nice if your skin is dry during the day or from being outside!

I'm still a fan of the whitening mask.
And also like the seaweed night cream.

only product I am not a fan of is the drying cream-it is the wrong shade for me and there is only the one light shade.

the walnut body lotion smells so nice too-like real walnuts!
but the smell goes away after 2 minutes..which is ok for me.

If you are interested in trying the products, if you fill out the questionnaire (on the Mario Badescu site)they will list out the recommended products.

After you've done that, you'll receive an email with the same information and in that email is a link that will allow you to get samples of all the recommended products. Smile
