Okay, so I didn’t really write a poem about an acne spot treatment, but I do have very special feelings about the Drying Lotion!

In fact, my very first Mario Badescu product was the Drying Lotion. This is not uncommon; we are often best recognized as the makers of the little pink bottle of acne treatment.

Before a big event (like the prom or your wedding) there are few things that can inspire dread quite like the threat of acne. It always seems to happen at the very worst times, doesn’t it?

Whatever happens, don’t get caught unprepared. When whiteheads crop up, simply take a cotton swab, dip it in the pink sediment at the bottom of the bottle, and apply it directly on the affected spot. If you’re using this product right before bed (which you probably are), make sure to give the lotion a moment or two to dry on the skin before your head hits the pillow.

Here’s Lee Ann in a video about the Drying Lotion. She’ll show you how to apply it and you’ll learn a bit more about active ingredients.

Have you tried the Drying Lotion yet?
