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: Holy Grail Spot Treatment - Amazing for Breakouts! - Effectiveness: This Mario Badescu Drying Lotion has been an absolute game-changer for dealing with occasional breakouts and stubborn blemishes. The overnight spot treatment works incredibly fast - I often wake up to find that angry, inflamed pimples have significantly reduced in size and redness after just one application. The zinc oxide and sulfur formula is powerful yet gentle enough that it doesn't over-dry or irritate my skin like some harsh acne treatments do. I love how it targets specific spots without affecting the surrounding healthy skin. The pink sediment at the bottom contains the active ingredients, so shaking it up and applying with a cotton swab gives precise application exactly where needed. Quality: Mario Badescu has built an excellent reputation in skincare, and this drying lotion maintains their high standards for effective, gentle formulations. The 1 fl oz bottle contains a surprisingly long-lasting amount of product since you only need tiny dabs for spot treatment. The consistency allows for precise application without waste, and the formula stays effective throughout the life of the product. The ingredients are well-balanced to provide acne-fighting benefits without the harsh side effects of more aggressive treatments. The packaging protects the formula integrity, and the dropper-style application method ensures hygiene and prevents contamination. Value for Money: This drying lotion provides incredible value when you consider how effectively it treats breakouts and prevents them from becoming larger, more inflamed problems. The small bottle lasts for months of regular use since you only apply it to specific spots, making the cost per treatment very reasonable. When I compare this to dermatologist visits or expensive acne systems, getting professional-quality spot treatment at this price is remarkable. The peace of mind knowing I have an effective solution for unexpected breakouts makes this worth far more than the modest cost. This has become my go-to emergency treatment for breakouts and consistently delivers fast, effective results. Highly recommend for anyone dealing with occasional acne or needing reliable spot treatment! ## 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 | #2,114 in Beauty & Personal Care ( See Top 100 in Beauty & Personal Care ) #56 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 36,399 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 ![Mario Badescu 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!
