Mario Badescu Acne Starter/Control/Repair Skin Care Kit for All Types of Breakouts | Facial Set Ideal for Combination or Oily Face for Healthy, Clear Complexion

I’m seventeen years old and I’ve struggled with acne for the past three years. My acne isn’t really surface pimples. My acne consist of under skin acne really only on my cheeks that never go away. I was so scared to order this because I’ve literally tried every single acne product there is ever!! I have probably spent well over $2000 on different products. And this is expensive but it’s really worth the money. I ordered curology about 6 months ago and it didn’t really work it just made the pimples into white heads so instead of having red bumps all over my face I had white gross looking bumps all over my face. I’ve also never really stuck to a routine besides washing my face in the shower at night but with this I use it in the morning and at night. I also struggled with redness very bad. If I rubbed my face gently it would look like I had done a 2 hour workout session so that is why there is a picture of the redness relief because I also use that before I go to bed. I haven’t changed my eating. I eat junk food but I’ve watched a lot of videos saying drink lots of water and don’t touch your face and etc. the only thing I’ve done is washed my face every morning at night. In class I sit with my head in my hand and I find it pretty hard to not touch your face. Also I completely stopped wearing makeup for a couple of months just so my skin would be really clean and there wouldn’t be as much dirt trapped into my pores as if I did wear makeup. I started washing my face on October 9th and it is October 24th and there already is a huge difference. The only two negative things I have to say about this the drying mask and drying cream smell absolutely terrible. Whenever I use the mask I just want to dry heave. Maybe it will be different for you guys but to me it smelled like sour milk and sand with a mixture of burning tires. The other negative is the drying lotion smells like vick’s (the stuff you use when your sick to put on your chest or feet wherever) so for a couple minutes after I would put it on my cheeks my eyes would water and sometimes my nose would run a little bit. Other then those smells I would defiantly recommend this product to anyone!! When I run out I will be ordering more.

I have used a lot of different acne systems. I have pretty severe hormonal that requires antibiotics, but have not taken them due to the chemicals. I have had severe acne for 25 years as an adult. I am usually brand loyal but had a huge cystic acne break out. Nothing was working. So I was looking for other options. I had been treating about 7 cysts on my chin for over a month. 3 days after using this kit they are almost gone. No new lesions. I cannot speak to the longevity of this product. I will give an update later. Hoping it keeps working. The products are drying and I would not recommend them for very sensitive skin.I am back with a follow up a month later. I have now purchased about 200 dollars worth of additional products from this company. There are more acne products available that work for a variety acne types. I only have one moderate blemish right now. Which is very abnormal for me. And my skin is not peeling and dry. I know how tramatic acne can be. Please give this brand a try. You can consult on their website and get the exact products you need for your type of acne. The company also ofees a 30 day money back garentee.

Absolutely love this line. MAKE SURE YOU DON’T SHAKE THE DRYING LOTION!!!!! If you do you will end up with less and a lot of clear liquid at the top so try your best not to. Also buy Qtips for it. Make sure you put it deep into the bottle so that it is pink all around the Qtip. This stuff is a miracle worker. The cucumber lotion makes your skin sooo soft but if you suffer from very dry skin I would recommend buying a lotion to use with it. I haven’t used the drying mask and I’m not sure I will as my skin is not oily in many places. The acne cleanser is great but I only use it every other day and use my proactive cleanser or my st Ives apricot exfoliating cleanser the other days for the exfoliation. I really recommend doing the same aka using an exfoliator. This line really does dry out your zits so the exfoliator is NEEDED to get rid of the dry skin. I have pale skin and the redness of my acne I found the worst of it all. The chamomile in the drying lotion reduces that redness by at least 60% the first night. It’s awesome. Highly recommend this!

First off I’d like to say that for this being “SKIN CARE” the smell of these products are HORRIBLE!! These products are going on your face! I have acne skin I have been trying out products here and there. My expectations for this brand where pretty high! Today I decided to do a full skin care using all the products and I got a chemical burn on my chin!! The skin on my chin feels like it’s on fire!! And it’s red and puffy! So much for “skin care” DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT YOU WILL NOT SEE RESULTS AND MOST LIKELY GET A CHEMICAL BURN OR REACTION FROM USING ALL THE PRODUCTS!

I have always used the drying lotion, so I figured I'd take a leap of faith and get the entire kit. I love the face wash and moisturizer. They both smell really good along with improving my skin A LOT within two days of usage. The drying cream and face mask work well, however I'm not fond of the smell they both have. Most of the facial products I have used in the past have taken AT LEAST 2-3 weeks to show any improvement whatsoever in my skin, but these products work fast. I look forward to seeing how well this can work for my skin in the future.

I love, love, love this kit! I am a high-strung person and I easily get stressed --which often leads to bad acne outbreaks. Since I have started using these products, my face has been clearer than ever before and the acne stays away (as long as I continue using the products). I can't recommend this kit enough - even to those who suffer from cystic acne. These products have significantly reduced the severity and number of cystic acne outbreaks that I have had. Don't waste your money on the worthless drug store acne medications, treatments, and masks -- if you want something that works, try this kit.

I like the face wash, as it feels clean and smells nice, but the "magical" drying solution (or whatever it's called now, I can't remember--the one with the pink sediment that settles in the bottom) really hasn't ever worked for me. It smells powerful (which I like), but hasn't killed overnight any white-heads or any other zit-like creature that's taken over my face. One of the drying pastes works well to stop shine, but it's basically make-up in my opinion (I'm a dude, so didn't love that), and the toner stuff is OK but I prefer the Acrona pads for men--much more expensive and so strong it actually eats the skin off your fingertips (seriously), but works better for me. YMMV.

Works wonders for ly daughter, might give it a try myself

Mk estaba segura de comprar los productos por que literal eh probado de todo! Padezco de acné hormonal y a cierto punto se volvió incontrolable. No dire que los productos son mágicos por qué si hay que ser disciplinados con la rutina pero wow por fin encontré algo que me funcionó! ElAcné nos hace sentir mal por qué duele poca y simple te no se ve bien. Si tienes piel grasa esto te ayudará al 100 de igual manera me compre el polvo translúcido y la grasa a judo disminuyendo gradualmente , si tengo brotes pero no este tratamiento ayuda bastante. Huele feo pero funciona.Recomiendo comprar el serum ara hidratar ya que tu piel puede llegar a resecarse.

Sufro de acné desde hace varios años, mi tipo de piel es mixta entonces era un problema encontrar productos anti acné qué no me provocaran resequedad en las áreas que no es grasa.Lo que más en gusto de este kit fueron el tónico, el cleanser y la drying cream. Aunque el frasco de ésta última es muy pequeño y pienso comprarlo a parte pues lo estoy usando mucho.Recomiendo este kit para los que tienen acné moderado pues yo lo que tenia eran pequeños granos en toda mi cara y manchas qué en tres semanas si han disminuido. Pero desconozco si surta efecto en acné severo

Excelente

Tango poco tiempo usando el kit pero me ha encantado!! Mi piel se siente más limpia, ha controlado el exceso de grasa y si me sale un granito me aplico el tratamiento completo y al otro día esta seco!

El rosa funciona en barros pequeños, y la mascarilla huele terrible y deja sensación de tener la piel súper seca
