A couple of months ago, I recieved a large sample of Mario Badescu products from their website. And I LOVE LOVE their products. I feel like skincare should be one of those things we should spurge on. Anyways. So far I've friend their Almond and Honey scrubs, Flower and Tonic Mask, Seaweed Cleaning Lotion, Seaweed Night Cream. And I must say I am really impressed.

The Seaweed Night Cream is AWESOME for those you who have combination skin because it doesn't contain any oils but just natural moisturizer from seaweed. It's really soothing. Especially since I use strong acne treatments like Proactiv, which can really dry my skin out (particularly the cheeks). So this solves my problem. PLUS, it's ultra perfect for sensitve skin. I get face irritation so easily, like neutrogena moisturive FOR sensitive skins and other skincare lines. SO this is AWESOME!

The Almond and Honey Scrubs is really gentle but does the job well but getting all those blackheads, making my skin squeaky clean. It's kind of like St. Ives Apricot Scrubs but so much more gentle. Tiny tiny beads that are actually soft. I usually exfoliate 3x a month. I know I should do it more often but I feel like if I do, my cheeks get really REALLY dry. I follow this with my Flower Tonic Mask. It works! really well plus smells good. Once again, its really gentle.

As for the seaweed cleansing lotion (basically their toner) I don't see a whole lot of difference. I do notice though that its moisturizing. I've used tons of toners that stings my skin upon application, causes irritation or drying. But because of its steep price and same results as Nivea Toner, I wouldn't purchase the full size.

YEP, so that's my little input. I think you guys should try out this line too! Just go to their website, and fill out their questionnaire. Later a customer rep will contact you to ask more about your skincare and etc; and send you a good amount of samples. I hope you'll be as satisfied as me!

I have had the Mario Badescu Drying Lotion for acne and it does work amazingly well. Overnight success to say the least. Not tried any of their other skincare products but I'm hoping to order some online sometime soon as so far results and reports seem good! I've had a look at some of the products and they sound really nice.

I have now filled out the questionnaire too, so thanks for the heads up on that. Would be interesting to know what products they will recommend for me.

This has saved my face. Seriously I started getting the baby fine lines and uneven tone around my eyes and this applied all over my face has been a godsend! It has the SPF in it but it is such a light texture that I look forward to putting it on, unlike most other sunblocks.

hi!

I really like their cumber lotion toner! its not at all harsh!

^^ the cucumber toner didn't impress me at all. it didn't do anything to help or better my skin. I was kind of disappointed. I also got some enzyme cleanser and i like the feel/smell of it, but again, it didn't really do anything to help. Sad. But I've heard really good things about their products from friends so I hope to try others out!

I have several of their products and love EVERYTHING! I had perfect skin until I hit 24 and then it all went to hell in a handbasket. This stuff has actually gotten my face back to being almost breakout free with just the occasional blemish. There for a while I was breaking out in clusters of cystic acne ... GROSS!

Now the few that I get are NOT cystic so I can extract them. I will never use anything else ... unless this quits working for me of course.

The Foaming Glycolic cleanser is awesome ... and the Drying products are amazing to say the least. If you haven't found anything that works for you, these are definitely worth trying. The texture of my skin is dramatically different from just two months ago.
