New Formula.

Prosintensive, lightweight
The ingredients in the MB Buffering Lotion have been changed. I used the Mario Badescu Buffering Lotion for years with great success, but the company recently changed the ingredients unknowingly to me at the time and the new ingredients caused my sensitive skin to become dry, red and irritated. This once great product contained wonderful benefits to the overall texture and tone of my skin not just on acne. The new ingredients are now probably only suited as a spot treatment. Be sure to check the dates of all the glowing reviews...I did a comparison of the "original" ingredients vs the new and they are indeed quite different. So just be aware of the change. I was not aware they had reformulated a once tried and true product and it caused a very adverse reaction on my skin. I think it's very irresponsible for a company to change their formulation without letting the consumer know.

It worked for me

I have long suffered from adult acne and have tried many products. This one worked in that it immediately cleared up my breakout and I haven't had any since. I use with Paula's Choice Clear Extra Strength Daily Skin Clearing Treatment and have had excellent results.

Prosabsorbs quickly, lightweight
This works pretty well. I have small breakouts on my forehead, chin and cheeks and this seemed to clear them up rather well after a few days of use. I also like that it isn't too harsh or drying on my sensitive combination skin type.
My only complaint is that the bottle is really small and it goes quickly due to the highly liquid consistency of the product.

Amazing
PostedAugust 24, 2016
Wow! I can't believe I hadn't tried this stuff sooner. I went through a period of time where I was getting atrocious cystic acne on my jaw/chin area. This is the only thing that has worked for me. It completely shrunk the size of the cysts overnight, and they haven't come back yet, unlike with some other treatments. I have also tried the drying lotion by the same brand, which I like too, but I think I prefer this. It doesn't have as harsh of a smell, and it doesn't dry out your skin. Definitely will be repurchasing!
