Godsend! Is there anything this can't do?!
I have been having acne issues in my 20s that no antibiotics were working and kept having to have cortisone injections for cystic acne which left depressions.. and even if a pore clogged but didn't form a pimple it would get red an inflamed and leave a scar for weeks. I have tried so many wayyyyy expensive things like $90 bottle to diy home remedies. This is the only thing that works. It prevents acne, it heals acne so quickly, and it fades my scarring. i added photos of my first week on it as a before and after, I had red puffy scarring and a cystic pimple forming just under my nose that never got a chance. I use it every night just on acne prone areas and I haven't had a single cystic acne since and I am so so so greatful. I should mention also that I do suffer from eczema as well as acne so oil and dry sensitive is reallllly fun. I break out looking at drugstore products. My skin loves this. It doesn't leave skin oily or dry and now I am confident enough to not wear makeup! Seriously it is worth a try, I know it may not work for everyone but just a chance that it works well for you too is worth itttttt!

I became a fan of Mario Badescu products several years ago when I received some free samples and I’ve been hooked ever since. I like their products because they work. This product is meant to prevent acne eruptions before they start with this salicylic acid based gel. Just a thin layer spread over the acne prone areas every evening will keep your skin smooth and clear and acne pimples at bay. This is a very lightweight gel that absorbs into your skin quickly and it doesn’t feel oily, greasy or heavy. It will become sticky on your hands, so you will need to wash them after applying. I use this if I'm about to develop a breakout. I apply at night after cleansing and before my night cream and it stops breakouts before they even get the chance to start. I admit that I’m not regimented enough to use it every single night, but I find that if I’m particularly stressed out or know that I’m about to have acne issues, I will use this for a few days in a row and avert the crisis. This bottle is also a soft plastic and small enough to take with you if you travel a lot for work or if you want to bring it on vacation so you look your best for all those pictures. I actually have a couple bottles of this. I leave one in my “hotel bag” that I check at the hotel when I travel for work and I have one at home so I’m never without it.

Seriously, does it’s job and more. My hormonal acne is off the walls and I can’t seem to keep up with it but adding this stuff to my routine along with the buffering lotion it’s like my acne never exists. You just need to make sure you follow through with your skin care routine daily and never miss one.

Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2015
Excellent product, and surprising affordable. I am a 20 year old female, who has been dealing with acne for awhile. I starting using this this, along with a facial cleanser of a different brand, as well as taking vitamin A pills. Within a week my acne had come close to disappearing, save a few spots here and there. Within two weeks I found my face completely clear, and remaining that way. The small bottle surprisingly lasts quite awhile. It's been about a month and I still have plenty. The only issue I found was that after two weeks my skin seemed a little dry, but that's nothing you can't easily fix with facial lotion. I have never seen this kind of success with any other product I've used: including Neutrogena, Saint Ives, Proactive, etc .Really love this product, and I highly recommend it!

This is a must have beauty product. I never let myself run out. When you see/feel a blemish, you spot treat w/ this clear thick serum & it’s usually gone overnight. It doesn’t dry out or burn the skin at all. Works great, is worth the amount it costs & delivers on everything it says it will do. I use it both to spot treat blemishes & to run into my nose/chin to get rid of & then prevent blackheads. It’s the only product I’ve found where I’ve been able to do that without then having to deal with dry, peeling skin.
If you have general acne, you could rub this clear serum all over your face. And after it dries, I’ve had no problem applying make up over it.

It's pretty sick gelly substance. And if you use it at day time l & apply sunscreen after (even chemical, not to mention mineral), you'll see "cottage cheese" pieces on your face. Only can be used at night follow with thing, emulsion-like moisturizers.

For three years I worked the greasiest job in town, guaranteed. The constant bombardment of oil and dirt made my skin miserable, but in combination with a face wash and toner this serum really makes an enormous difference. Having a serum to help heal the skin after the rough process of cleaning is important, and this one is up to the job.
