Similar to the Drying Lotion, the highest concentration ingredient in this formula is isopropyl alcohol. While this type of alcohol can cause skin dryness and even damage when used long term, the Buffering Lotion is a rinse-off product so it should be okay if you need to get rid of bumps right away. Apply the product directly to any surface blemishes. Think of Drying Lotion as a tiny pink mask for every spot. Leave it on overnight and wash everything off come morning. Voila! Mario Badescu is a mid-priced brand; the products are slightly more than your average drugstore product, yet they are far more affordable than luxury brands like Drunk Elephant and SK-II . Like most cleansers, the formula contains surfactants as key ingredients. A surfactant molecule contains one end that is hydrophilic (attracted to water) and one end that is lipophilic (attracted to oil). This allows surfactants to attract and suspend oils, dirt, and other impurities that have accumulated on the skin and wash them away. Bottom Line: Mario Badescu Buffering Lotion is a rinse-off treatment that combines isopropyl alcohol with niacinamide, panthenol, and allantoin to target large, under-the-surface bumps.

Upon arrival I was introduced to my aesthetician Maria, who has been administering facials at Mario Badescu for 22 years(!) and knows everything. Once she got a close look at my face she identified the fact that I sleep on my right hand side (I have more blemishes on my right cheek and creases around my right eye), and confirmed my deep conviction that I always get breakouts in the same places (due to deeply clogged pores in need of extractions).
