Whether you have occasional breakouts or those that occur with greater frequency-- you want relief fast. While my combination skin is generally quite clear I do occasionally breakout, and when I do I like to use highly effective products that spot treat the pimples directly. When I received the Mario Badescu Acne Repair Kit my skin was very clear, but within a few weeks I had the occasion to test the efficacy of this kit. Whatever the cause (holiday chocolate treats or monthly cycle), I woke up with a few pimples that I wanted to have go away fast. AND. THEY. DID.
While my breakout was rather small, it did allow me to try all three products. I used the Drying Lotion on a couple of little whiteheads, the Drying Cream on a slightly larger pimple, and the Buffering Lotion on one deep pimple that needed to be zapped before wreaking havoc on my cheek. Within just a single day of use I noted a remarkable difference, and by the following morning they only thing that was left was a small head on the deepest pimple treated with the Buffering Lotion. In short, the turn-around time was astoundingly fast for me. So much so, that these three products will remain my go-to fixes whenever I have a breakout.

The perfect acne kit. Everything you need to get acne erupted skin looking clear and healthy is in this kit in full sizes.
