    I will always have it on me.

    Great product, I don’t know what I’d do without it. Perfect for people with acne and clears up your face over night. It’s one of my daily essentials when I break out.

    Believe me this product gets rid of pimples and bumps overnight, it dries them right up. If you have a big day ahead and have a bump you want to get rid of, this is the product to use.

    I tried this product for the first time not to long ago and the results were great and fast. I do love it but being an expensive product this will be bought at special occasions only

    I really love this product... I recieved a free sample of it on the mario badescu website, and although i was skeptical of this product at first, I ended up falling in love with it. It basically dries out oil from your face, and after a few days gets rid of your acne.... it does leave some scars, and will dry out your face if you use it for too long. it is onl a temporary emergency, 1st attack, and then make sure to switch to another product after a week or so to get rid of the scars. The product works, but its expensive.....

    I have tried quite a few Mario Badescu products and have not liked them but this one I do like.It is skin toned and its like a clay paste it does smell of sulfur but it is not overwhelming.I tend to break out on my chin with one or two pimples that are large enough that I don't want to be going out in public.I put a dab of this on the pimples before bed and by the next morning it has dried out the blemish.It also goes a long way!It contains Zinc Oxide,Aloe, Beeswax,,Lemon Extract, Colloidal Sulfur which is good for blemish control.This works wonders for deep pimples.Always remember if you apply this the night before to clean your skin before going out in the morning because the little dots applied are very noticeable!

    I love the Mario Badescu Drying Cream. I never tried any of the products before so this is my first outta all the products. When I first bought it and tried it.. I could not get over the smell.. its soo bad.. I was told that I will be able to tolerate it after a couple more times trying it.. and lets get say.. I tolerate it haha. Its the sulfur that makes it smell that bad.. but let me tell you its worth it because it works wonders.. if you have a pimple the drying cream will dry it right out for you. I will be using this product for life.. just because of how great it works to dry out my problem areas on my skin!

    I have found that this drying cream is one of the few products that claims to help heal pimples that actually works. After getting a sample of it I was hooked.
    I tend to get under the skin type pimples and this cream seems to be the most effective way to reduce the redness and help stop them before they take over. I put it on at night and by the morning most of the problem has disappeared. I also love that it can be used under makeup to treat the area during the day as well. I am pleased with this product and will continue to use it.

    I got a free sample of it (a small tub) online from the site to review.

    I liked it a lot when I first got it, it was like a paste, and it WORKED.

    I spread it on my pimples and it got rid of them.

    The active ingredient is the sulfur, but you can get the same effect for cheaper (and more of it) if you just buy the Proactiv Refining Masque instead.

    The Proactiv version is $31 for 2.5 oz and it will last you 2-3 years.

    The only reason why I am not thrilled about it, is because it seemed a bit more chemical-y than the Proactiv (with more ingredients than required), it dried up into a rock hard solid really quickly (adding a bit of water into the pot over night will help soften it back up again), and it's TOO EXPENSIVE for what you get!

    Try Proactiv. Works just as well, is cheaper, and you get more.

    Search my profile and you can read my review on the Proactiv Refining Masque.
