Our Vitamin C Cream is a fantastic daytime moisturizer which moisturizes skin and visibly brightens skin tone. When used during the day (with an appropriate sunscreen) it’s been shown that Vitamin C can help to further protect the skin from photodamage caused by UV rays. This night cream also includes the hydrating ingredients sodium hyaluronate, hydrolyzed elastin, and soluble collagen. These ingredients bind moisture to the skin, thereby hydrating the skin while also helping it to look more plump and youthful.

Unfortunately, this mask contains a few problematic ingredients, including two parabens as preservatives and a synthetic fragrance blend.For example, one review says, “This drying lotion works on breakouts fast. I’m 59 years of and still have breakouts. Immediately when I see one I apply lotion on spot and the time of breakout is reduced at least by 50%. I will continue purchasing and sharing information with friends and family.”

This is an alcohol-free toner that provides mild exfoliation thanks to the alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) glycolic acid combined with soothing aloe vera leaf juice. When using Mario Badescu Vitamin C Cream and Vitamin C Serum – we recommend layering these products by using our cream in the morning and our serum in the evening for the best results. Similar to the Drying Lotion, the highest concentration ingredient in this formula is isopropyl alcohol. While this type of alcohol can cause skin dryness and even damage when used long term, the Buffering Lotion is a rinse-off product so it should be okay if you need to get rid of bumps right away. Then, after a while, I started developing texture on my skin; Comedone-like bumps in certain areas of my forehead, chin & jawline, as well as a few other areas of my face. I also began breaking out a lot more, the more I used it, (& I’ve used it A LOT). I’ve been trying to figure out exactly what’s been causing it; my diet is fairly healthy, I drink enough water, I use other decent skincare products, in fact, a lot of the products that I use seem to help clear my skin a little bit. But over time of using this spray, my skin has just gotten increasingly worse, no matter what else I’ve used.The Mario Badescu Botanical Exfoliating Scrub was designed to exfoliate and buff away dead skin cells while also infusing the skin with powerful and beneficial active ingredients. The formula behind this product was designed to invigorate the skin without causing any inflammation or irritation. As a physical exfoliant, this product utilizes finely ground Ecuadorian Ivory Palm seeds in a gel base to deliver even, thorough exfoliation. In addition to the exfoliating power of this product, aloe vera, coconut, ginger, ginko and green tea extracts work together to prevent damage from environmental aggressors, relieve dehydrated skin, calm inflammation and create a youthful looking glow to the skin. With all this said, it’s worth noting that the exfoliating particles should be applied to the skin very gently, as there is a possibility for microtears. Ground particles such as seeds, shells, salt or sugar, have jagged edges, which if rubbed too vigorously on the skin, can cause more harm than good. Because of this, we recommend using light pressure and circular motions to apply this product to the skin. A 2018 study by Women’s Voices for the Earth discovered that in over 3,000 chemicals reportedly used for fragrances, 1,242 were chemicals of concern – and that included at least 7 possible carcinogenic (cancer-causing) agents. How Much Do Mario Badescu Skin Care Products Cost? Bottom Line: Mario Badescu Facial Spray contains hydrating ingredients that help to impart a dewy glow, but the inclusion of fragrance in this formula isn’t doing your skin any good. One of our MB staffers, Mei, calls this our little “superstar” product. I know the little bottle of pink is an all-time favorite, but go green! Give the green a chance. (Mei is also responsible for getting me hooked.)

As for the fragrance used in Mario Badescu products, we already mentioned that fragrance has the potential to cause skin sensitivity. In addition, the use of synthetic fragrance ingredients can be a problem because the brand can use a proprietary blend of chemicals to create the fragrance, and they do not have to disclose which chemicals they use on the label. They are allowed to list this blend as “Fragrance (Parfum)” on the ingredient list. that is, or may reasonably be considered to be, defamatory, libellous, hateful, racially or religiously biased or offensive, unlawfully threatening or unlawfully harassing to any individual, partnership or corporation; Think of it this way: The pink dot you make on your face works like a teeny overnight mask that gives targeted attention to your blemish. You want the product to be clay-like when it’s applied so that it goes on opaque and pink, completely covering the bump. When you shake, that sediment becomes diluted.For example, one review says, “Has been ineffective for any pimples. Only dries them out and they still don’t go away. Very disappointed.” Now onto the not-so-good ingredients you’ll find in these products. Unfortunately, this brand uses parabens and fragrance in nearly all of their products. So why is this a problem? Let’s take a look at the research. Before purchasing Mario Badescu Drying Lotion, here’s a summary of the most important factors to consider: The formula also includes beneficial ingredients like niacinamide, panthenol, and allantoin. We love all three of these ingredients, but it’s better to use them in leave-on products.

Here’s a breakdown of the top 10 best Mario Badescu skin care products. In our opinion, Mario Badescu products deliver value for money, but take a look at other brands that don’t require you to sacrifice your precious money.Since Vitamin C can be an unstable ingredient, avoid using other AHA, BHA or Retinol products to prevent skin irritation or destabilization of the Vitamin C.

The highest concentration ingredient in the Drying Lotion is isopropyl alcohol, also known as rubbing alcohol. This ingredient will definitely dry out a blemish, but it can also dry out your skin. Since this is a spot treatment, we think the alcohol in the formula is okay if you need to get rid of a zit ASAP. But it’s not something you want to be using on a regular basis. Parabens have been linked to reproductive, immunological, neurological and skin irritation problems. Parabens penetrate the skin and hang around in our bodies. As preservatives, parabens keep the bacteria out of the products, but keep in mind there are clean alternatives.
