About Mario Badescu

Cult-favorite Drying Lotion is basically what put this brand on the map - Mario Badescu built its name through a Manhattan skincare salon before its acne and calming treatments spread through drugstores and online. It's a legacy family-run brand, not a startup, with a loyal following among people managing breakouts on a budget. You'll notice the Drying Lotion in particular gets a devoted, almost cult-like following online. One thing worth flagging: since returns only apply to orders placed directly through their own site, anything from a retail partner needs to go back through that retailer instead.

What they sell

  • Drying Lotion and other acne spot treatments
  • Facial sprays like the Cucumber and Aloe collections
  • Cleansers and exfoliating masks
  • Moisturizers and serums
