Mario badescu products are available at the Kit cosmetics counter in myer. They are available in Sydney (not too sure about anywhere else). The prices have also been lowered, so they pretty much match up to the US prices (which is fantastic!). I am happy with all the products I have used!
The drying lotion is as good as everyone says it is (it is a cult favourite for a reason). You can see noticeable results overnight in the size, redness and feeling of the pimple. I`ve also used this on some cystic acne, and it has reduced the size of them too.
The buffering lotion is targeted for acne affected areas and cystic acne. I also use this daily or every other day and helps calm down cystic acne and reduce the size and redness of the acne.
The whitening mask is one of my favourite products! I use it as a part of my skincare routine now, and it has done wonders for the appearance of my skin. It helps in evening out skin tone, more-so than actually whitening the skin. My acne scars have faded substantially, and it also brightens my complexion. It does not leave the skin feeling dry at all, in fact it leaves it feeling moisturised, and the smell is fairly pleasant!
The strawberry face scrub is a good gentle exfoliator. There are little strawberry seeds that act as beads to help exfoliate the skin, and the consistency of the scrub is very smooth and silky. The scrub also noticeably brightened the complexion of my skin tone. It did not do too much (not that I noticed) for acne or problem areas, but it was gentle enough to use on those areas.
Overall, I think mario badescu products are AMAZING, and they`re definitely worth giving a try!
