    Wouldn't Buy Again

    I always heard such great things about this spot treatment. It was recommended by a friend, so I decided to buy it during Sephora's Beaty events. I would have to say I'm disappointed. It's $23, which is reasonable, but seeing that it did nothing, makes me regret it. I tried this out for 3 weeks, and nothing, literally nothing! This is meant more for pimples, over acne (just a heads up), but even then I had no results. On the bright side, it lasts a VERY long time, so if it does work it is worth the buck. I usually have problematic/hormnal skin, so wouldn't say it's too effective for that skin type. Instead, I tried the Neutrogena spot treatment, and within 2 weeks I could see an effect -it was cheaper and more effective. I would say make sure this product matches your skin type before purchasing. Also, if you don't like chemical scents like me, then this product is not for you either!

    Holy grail for pimples

    I was hesitant on buying this product because I thought just another "Holy grail" product.
    But I gave it a try - and glad I did. It dries out pimple fast! Don't over use it as it may worsen the pimple. Apply at night and that's it. I also use it once every two weeks around my acne prone area for maintenance.

    Not for sensitive skin

    Super simple to use and it’s a great product for drying out pimples. But unfortunately, It didn’t work for me, it over dry my skin causing more pimple. Too bad but definitely give it a try if you have the money and not a too sensitive skin.

    Get rid of breakouts quick

    I bought this because recently I had a huge breakout and this cleared up my spots in two days. I put it on when I went to bed and the breakouts were noticeably smaller every morning. The only downside is that it's pricey.

    I got free samples from Mario Badescu in the mail not too long ago, and for the most part I really enjoyed all of the products I tried. I really like the orange cleansing soap as well as the honey moisturizer!

    There are celebrities who love his products. This is a high end product. This is good for spot treatment for pimple and for whiteheads that can be left overnight. I've tried it once. It's an expensive product and I might not get it again

    I'm still waiting for my sample pack but I did go out and purchase the aloe and rose face spray and I really like it. It softens my skin, has a lovely fragrance and is very affordably priced.

    This is the product that both Cher and Martha stewart use or so the bottles claim i was able to get 6 decent sized samples of this brand that still have yet to run out.What i can say is the product has a real nice light nature scent its not overpowering.

    The honey and tonic mask honestly smells like the st.ives facial scrub and i am not exactly sure what the under eye stuff is suppose to do as it has yet to make a difference to the skin under my eyes.

    The product does work it does make your skin look alot more refreshed and cleansed but for the price you are better off buying a cheaper brand.

    This product does make your pimples smaller and less red. And applying it on your face is really easy with a q-tip. The alcohol does sting a little but that subsides after sometime.
