I've been using mario badesco products for about a month now.
Murad was giving me serious cystic acne on my chin, sucks because I wanted it to work really bad. It also gave me very dry patches that would then clog my pores and make me break out more, the moisturizer was too "oily" and just didn't suite my skin at all.

Mario Badesco was my last resort, since Ive tried practically everything else and nothing worked!

I spent a hefty $100 + bucks on everything, but I wanted to do it right, so I got almost all the products they suggested.

Ok, so I have combination skin with acne and these are the products I got:

Enzyme cleansing gel- use twice a day.
Glycolic grapefruit cleansing lotion- use at night
Cucumber cleansing lotion (sample)- use in the morning
A.H.A ceramide moisturizer- use as needed on dry spots
Glycolic eye cream (sample)- use twice a day around eyes
Kiwi scrub- use 3 times a week
Drying mask- use 3 times a week
Anti acne serum- as needed

I also use a sample of the glycolic foaming wash a few times a week, like before the drying mask. Their samples last quite a while!

My skin is actually balanced now for the most part. For the occasional pimple, the acne serum helps blemishes clear and heal faster. Best products I've used so far and will not be switching any time soon!
