Don't Pop your whiteheads as it could cause more Acne Review: NO-SEE-UM bites!!! - Omgosh I bought this a year or two ago and had to come back and write a review! I have always used this for a pimple or a blemish but the other night I got attacked by a no-see-um or mosquito and got seven bites on my legs. As I was dang near gouging my skin off from the itch and had nothing specific to use, I pulled this out. Within LITERAL seconds, the itch and burn of the bite was gone! I only put one drop on each bite and it was MAGIC! Not only that, I don’t know if you know about a good mosquito bite, how swollen and inflamed that they get, but the next day between the sulfur and the salicylic acid in this drying lotion, the inflammation and swelling was minuscule! This is definitely a 3-1 attack on bug bites! The sulfur pulled out the Poison, the calamine lotion stopped the itch, and the salicylic acid dried out the blemish, all within 24 hours! I am now a user of this for life!!! Beyond grateful for this product! Review: Recommend to buy! Awesome product - I’ve been using the Mario Badescu Drying Lotion on and off for a couple years now, and honestly, it’s one of the few skincare products that consistently works for me. Anytime I feel a pimple forming or see one starting to surface, I dab a little on before bed, and more often than not, it’s either gone or significantly reduced by morning. It’s not some miracle overnight fix for every kind of breakout, but it works best on whiteheads or those little surface-level pimples. You definitely have to follow the instructions don’t shake the bottle! Just dip a cotton swab straight into the pink sediment at the bottom and dab it on. It dries quickly and smells a bit like rubbing alcohol, but I don’t mind it. I will say it can be drying if you use it too often or on the same spot repeatedly, so I usually pair it with a good moisturizer the next day. Overall, it’s just a great spot treatment to have on hand. Would definitely repurchase. Value for money: Last a long time, although it does seem small Why did you pick this product vs others?: It had more positive reviews, and had proof of it working online. Lightweight: feels like nothing on your skin once it dries, but works like magic! Effectiveness: awesome, my pimples deflate over night! ## Features - [CLARIFYING, BI-PHASE NIGHTTIME SOLUTION] for all skin types - [DRIES SURFACE BLEMISHES] by drawing out impurities from targeted spots - [VISIBLY REDUCES] The Look Of surface blemishes the next day - [FORMULATED] With SALICYLIC ACID, SULFUR and zinc oxide, absorb excess oil and unclogs pores - [FREE FROM] sulfates, phthalates, parabens and gluten, as well as vegan, cruelty-free and made in the USA with globally sourced ingredients ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0017SWIU4 | | Active Ingredients | Calamine, Camphor, Sulfur, Zinc Oxide, Talc, Salicylic Acid, CI 77891 (Titanium Dioxide), salicylic_acid Active Ingredients Calamine, Camphor, Sulfur, Zinc Oxide, Talc, Salicylic Acid, CI 77891 (Titanium Dioxide), salicylic_acid See more | | Age Range (Description) | Adult | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,577 in Beauty & Personal Care ( See Top 100 in Beauty & Personal Care ) #43 in Body Lotions | | Brand | Mario Badescu | | Brand Name | Mario Badescu | | Container Type | Bottle | | Country as Labeled | United States | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 36,432 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00785364133082 | | Item Dimensions | 2.5 x 2.5 x 2 inches | | Item Form | Lotion | | Item Volume | 29 Milliliters | | Item Weight | 1 Ounces | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 2.5 x 2.5 x 2 inches | | Manufacturer | Mario Badescu Skin Care Inc. | | Manufacturer Part Number | 13008 | | Material Features | Cruelty Free, Vegan | | Material Type Free | Gluten Free, Paraben Free, Phthalate Free, Sulfate Free | | Model Number | Drying Lotion | | Number of Items | 1 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Original Glass Bottle | | Product Benefits | Helps draw out impurities and diminish the appearance of surface blemishes. | | Recommended Uses For Product | Acne | | Scent Name | Alcohol | | Skin Type | All | | Special Feature | Original Glass Bottle | | Special Ingredients | Salicylic Acid, Sulfur, Zinc Oxide | | Specific Uses For Product | Dip cotton swab into pink sediment at the bottom(Do NOT Shake bottle), dab directly on the whitehead, do not rub in | | Target Use Body Part | Whole Body | | UPC | 785364133082 785364130081 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Ounce | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Brand:** Mario Badescu - **Item Volume:** 29 Milliliters - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 2.5 x 2.5 x 2 inches - **Special Feature:** Original Glass Bottle ## Images ![Drying Lotion, 1 Fl oz - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61DC+7jHAZL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What kind of blemishes can Drying Lotion be used for?** A: Drying Lotion works best on above-the-surface blemishes. For any blemish on the verge of being expressed, this product works as an overnight on-the-spot treatment mask to expedite the process and reduce redness. **Q: Is the Drying Lotion for preventative use?** A: No – the Drying Lotion should only be used on active blemishes. **Q: How often should I use the Drying Lotion when I have an active blemish?** A: The Drying Lotion can be used every night (for oily / combination skin) or every other night (for dry / sensitive skin) to reduce the appearance of a blemish. **Q: Is this product to treat blackheads?** A: No – this product is strictly for above-the-surface blemishes. If you’d like to reduce the appearance of blackheads, please try our Silver Powder. **Q: What is the difference between the Drying Lotion and the Buffering Lotion?** A: The Drying Lotion is an overnight spot treatment mask for above-the-surface blemishes (any blemish with a head to it). The Buffering Lotion is an overnight spot treatment for beneath-the-surface blemishes (commonly cystic or hormonal breakouts). ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ NO-SEE-UM bites!!! *by H***R on June 12, 2026* Omgosh I bought this a year or two ago and had to come back and write a review!
