Mario Badescu Acne Repair Kit

Not working....lot of tingling sensation due to the camphor content in it - but finally no effect - waste of money - bought the entire combo

I have a few pimples here and there so I hoped this kit will help it. But noooo! I created MORE PORE-BLEMS. After a moment of research, I found out that they have a CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT for not disclosing STEROID in their products. I threw it into the trash can after 1 month of use

Because everything isn't for everyone, and these products are perfect for some people for sure, it's important to point out that I have sensitive, dry skin not prone to breakouts very often, though occasionally one or two very visible blemishes that don't like to come to a head and often last more than a week. I'm nearly 40, white, and use retinol and salicylic acid toner, the former of which I stopped using in the area of the blemish. I'm not sure if it helped or not with a recent break-out. I used it less than required, mostly as a spot treatment, and still wound up needing half my weight in colloidal oatmeal lotion to refresh my skin and heal the peeled, dry skin that lasted longer than the breakout by several days. Honestly, I don't have a real idea whether it shortened the pimple's 'lifespan' or not, it didn't seem to do enough good for the damage it inflicted. Not my new go-to, though I will likely use it in the future occasionally, and it may be just the right thing for a roommate, or a friend's daughter with skin problems.

Cannot stress enough how good these products are. If you need a basic acne kit get this (you will need to use cleanser as well, but most drugstore cleansers work fine if you have a good enough spot treatment). I use the buffering lotion every night after cleansing and exfoliating. I use the drying cream in the morning after moisturizer, before putting on makeup. The drying cream actually won't dry you out if you use a small dose only on areas with acne. I use the drying lotion if I have a breakout or a big zit, usually before bed and leaving it on overnight. Be sure not to shake up the drying lotion, whereas the buffering lotion does need to be shaken (but that's all in the instructions)

I started getting cystic acne in my late 30's and I didn't want to continue taking the oral meds from my Dermatologist. Embarrassed to admitt it ...but ...i heard this is what the Kardashian's use. I've spent a lot of money on other stuff but this really works. It helped a lot especially the buffer. I wish I had know about it sooner. Remember don't shake just take a Q-tip to the stuff on the bottom and dab it on.
