Mario Badescu Review

Mario Badescu Drying Lotion - $17

I bought this product after reading a ton of amazing product reviews online.  Consumers claimed that this lotion zapped zits overnight.  Man, I was disappointed.  It didn't do anything for me.  Plus it smelled horrible!  I will NEVER buy this product again.  I'm so bummed I wasted $17 on this.  BOO!  If you're looking for spot-treatment, I recommend checking out this Trifix Acne Clearing Lotion instead.  It really works well, and it's on sale at Amazon.com for only $15.  

Mario Badescu Drying Mask - $18

This mask, like the drying lotion, was another disappointment to say the least. I don't even know where to start.  First of all, when I applied the product to my face, it started to burn my skin.  I seriously thought I was going to scratch my face off.  It was so unbearably itchy.  Although I wanted to wash the mask off, I figured I'd just suck it up and leave it on for the full 20 minutes.  At least I didn't break out in hives or get an allergic reaction afterwards.  Did I mention the intolerable stench?  Yeah, the smell lingered on my face even after washing it over and over again.  What a waste of money.  UGH.  

Have you guys tried any Mario Badescu products?  If so, how would you rate them?
