HOW TO USEDO NOT SHAKE THE BOTTLE. Before bed (after cleansing and toning), dip a cotton swab into the pink sediment at the bottom of the bottle. Dab directly on the surface blemish; do not rub in. Let dry and rinse off in the morning. Do NOT use on broken skin. Do not apply to eye or lip area. If product gets into eyes, rinse well with water. You can use your Drying Lotion to target surface blemishes on the back, chest, and neck, too. |
#MBSKINTIPHere’s why you don’t shake it: Drying Lotion is designed to work most effectively as a bi-phase solution. Every time you apply a pink dot to your face, each application acts like a tiny, overnight mask that gives targeted attention to the blemish. You want the product to be clay-like so that it goes on opaque and pink, completely covering the bump. Don’t worry if you do shake it — simply set the bottle on an even, flat surface. Leave it undisturbed overnight and voilà: your Drying Lotion is settled and looking brand new. |
WHY WE LOVE ITFormulated in the 1960s by Mario Badescu himself, this iconic product is still the brand’s #1 best-selling product — loved by so many skincare junkies. VEGAN. CRUELTY-FREE. PHTHALATE-FREE. PARABEN-FREE. GLUTEN-FREE. SULFATE-FREE. |

Here's what works for me if you're curious: I get almost all of this stuff on amazon
-A gentle cleanser (cetaphil or neutrogena)
-Oil cleansing every now and then (olive oil and castor oil with a few drops of Trader Joe's tea tree oil are my faves)
-ACV mixed with water as a toner or Burt's Bees tomato toner
-Tea tree oil and clean and clear's persa-gel ( to treat bumps and pimples )
**I've learned that if you really want to have nice skin, you have to protect it and keep it moisturized. Also keep your routine SIMPLE**
-Olay Total effects 7 in one SPF 30 or Olay Complete for Combination/Oily skin SPF 15 in the am (depends on the season)
-Olay Regenerist Night Cream in the pm or SR Luna Oil with SR Good Genes serum
(The only non-drug store things I use on my face are Sunday Riley's Luna Oil and Good Genes serum. They're pretty darn good!!! The Luna Oil also has certain antiseptic properties that help prevent acne! Crazy right?! It also makes my skin so soft! The serum is good for hyper-pigmentation and brightening skin. Both of them do many other things too! Sephora has a duo kit for $78. It was a birthday gift to myself! I work on campus! Don't judge! As a college student, I often times don't get as much sleep that I'm suppose to and I was afraid that it would start showing in my face even though the saying is "Black don't crack". I got this duo to help prevent premature aging. #wrinkles #bags #Crowsfeet #SayNoToFillers #SayNoToBotox #AgeGraciously)
***Side Note: I use to have really bad oily skin. In early high school, I would dry it out with acne astringents and skip out on moisturizer at night because I didn't want my face to be really oily. Eventually, I realized that my face was overproducing oils because of this behavior. The moment I started using gentle cleansers, oils, and moisturizers, the moment my skin realized it didn't need to drown itself in sebum. As I go through my day, I still do produce oil on my skin but it's not excessive. It's just a healthy amount to protect my face from the harsh environment and create a healthy glow. During the warmer months, I walk around with a pack of oil blotting sheets just in case.
I hope this helped someone! I know it was a lot to read. Also, use smile.amazon.com to make your purchases! Anytime you buy something, Amazon will make a donation to a charity of your choice. I'm donating to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society!!!!!
Unfortunately, the drying lotion did not live up to the hype.
I had a mild break out and I did not see a reduction when using this product.
I used it as directed...as a spot treatment only on the pimples.
However I do not know if my skin is sensitive to something in this product, because I think it made it worse :(
I'm really disappointed after reading all these great reviews. But I know everyone's skin is different and maybe it's just not the product for me.
I'm trying to stay away from harsher products such as benzoyl peroxide...so I am disappointed that this didn't help.
Any suggestions?
I have combination dry/oily skin, but have never had an extreme issue with acne on a large scale. I would get pimples here and there and split great using Clearasil and my problems would be gone. Now that I'm 24, I've been breaking out like crazy. I follow a vegan diet so it's not what I'm eating, so it's hormones, who knows.
Anyway, this product made me break out even more than I was breaking out before. It didn't even dry out the pimples like it said it was going to either. And when I tried to wash off the pink residue in the morning, it barely came off. It's virtually calimine lotion.
Do me a favor and don't waste $17 on this like I did.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 30, 2018



It seems to work best on whiteheads for me - those active, greasy, liquid-filled spots. It doesn't work on red scars or anything, but you wouldn't expect it to.
Anyway, I've recommended this product to 3 people after just a few weeks! I love it!


Would recommend😁
