Go-to for cystic acne
I’ve been using this for many years for cystic acne. It takes the pain away and shrinks the cyst with one use. Now this is in a case that I haven’t been messing with the spot beforehand, to be fair. Remember to shake this product, unlike their pink solution.

Excelente marca

Works but be careful!!
This is going to be a long review since I love this product so my apologies in advance. I hope it helps someone.Advance Warning – Both of these products have isopropyl alcohol which is *extremely* drying. It works but its possible to end up with irritation like I did. After about 4 days I ended up with a slightly itchy rash. There was no redness but a bunch of tiny bumps. It reminded of contact dermatitis. Fortunately my breakout was done by then. If it happens, don’t freak out. Stop using the product for now. It will go away and it can be covered up by makeup without irritating the skin (be sure to use non-irritating makeup.) It can take up to 2 weeks ago. Mine did. The skin may have a slightly rougher texture for a couple more weeks after that. Exfolation can help. You will be able to use the product again in the future but use it sparingly and only on the areas needed. I think what caused it for me was putting it over the whole area of blemishes and being lazy instead of exactly where the spots were. It might seem like an unpleasant side effect but I really needed to get rid of the breakout that just kept multiplying. It was worth it to me as I think it was my fault for not being more careful. It isn’t guaranteed to happen to you but if it does I wanted to share my experience. It will be ok I promise.I bought and use this in conjuction with the Mario Badescu Drying Lotion so I left the same review on both. I use them together based on another reviewer’s suggestion so I can’t rate them separately. That being said, oh my god this totally works. I was seriously blown away. I got a very unpleasant hormonal breakout of papules (blind pimples) on my chin during lady time and whenever I get them they take forever to go away because the infection is so far below the surface. To make matters worse anytime one went away another would show up. I had about 4 in the same spot and they were very painful. I really didn’t want to spend that much on a product but the breakout had been there for weeks with no improvement from anything else I used and I was getting desperate. Below is a product description and how I used them.Buffering lotion – This product you can shake before application. Its a very thin, white liquid that’s rated by Badescu as being better for Cystic AcneDrying lotion – DO NOT SHAKE. A lot of people have been making comments about how the product settles. Its supposed to and the directions clearly say do not shake it and to use a cotton swab to dip it in the “pink sediment” then apply. This product is rated as being better for whiteheads.For my routine I waited until the evening and cleaned my face then applied the buffering lotion to the blemishes with my fingers as the instructions said to do. I waited about a minute until that dried and then used a cotton swab to apply a bit of the drying lotion. I used the products for 5 days just to be sure but I could have stopped at 4. I now have NO blemishes anymore and I’m just working on getting rid of the pigmentation marks. Those I can deal with. I’m extremely happy with this products performance and I highly, highly recommend it.Here is a bit on the different types of blemishes because it can be confusing trying to figure out what you have (Correct me if I’m wrong. Its based on my own personal research.)Whitehead – Standard, unremarkable. Not inflamed. Just looks like a small spot of pus. Goes away quicklyBlackhead – Open pore with oxidation causing it to look dark. Not inflamed. (These two products aren’t designed for blackheads so I don’t think it’d work on those.)Pustule – Inflamed whitehead. Infection at the surface but there’s a lot of angry redness around the blemishPapule – Inflamed whitehead. Infection deep below the surface. Aka blind pimple. Its a closed comedone where the infection can’t reach the surface. These can last weeks. They are hard to the touch and painful.Cystic Acne – Large, inflamed acne. It is one of the more severe types. It will feel soft the touch and be large in size. Rupture can cause spreading of the infection and lead to more outbreaks.Nodular Cystic Acne – The same as cystic acne but the infection is deeper under the skin and will be hard and painful the touch. Will not rupture but will not go away as Papules eventually do.The two types of Cystic Acne will likely need to be treated by a professional if severe. I’m not sure how these two products would work on small, minor Cystic Acne but its worth a try. Based on some of the other reviews this does work if its not very severe and all over the face.Note – Before you panic like I did and think your Papules are Nodular Cystic Acne, there is a difference and its size. Physically they feel the same but Papules are 1cm or less where as the Nodular acne is 1-5cm.Hope this helps!

Works great!!! Takes redness out and reduces inflammation
Works great !!!

Was unsure about trying this, but so glad I did. Helped to clear up my hormonal acne and I can definitely see a difference in my skin when I don’t use this product

This product is wonderful for break outs. At certain times of the month I’m prone to spots especially around the chin area and I find if I apply this at night before bed they’re really reduced in size and clear up within a few days. It does sting and it does feel very astringent and slightly eye-watering but it really seems to do the job. Make sure you give it a good shake before using as the product seems to seperate.
