Mario Badescu Special Healing Blemish Repairing Face Powder for Oily and Troubled Skin, Reduces T-Zone Shine, Decongests Pores and Balances Excess Oil, Gentle Sulfur Powder for Skin Care

Best results so I love the product and many others from this line - I am at the 3rd jar of the powder ... this product has worked the best for me - never had an acne problem until I reached the 60's! ... also, considering that a mature skin will not do well with powders and other drying products was something to consider - So, this Blemish Powder: 1. it does clear the acne and helps clear the blemish better that any other product out there - and not just on the face 2. it does not dry the skin, especially the mature one 3. I do a spot application with the tip of my finger to make sure I get the powder to penetrate the blemish and the skin and then I blend it with the puff provided so I do not look like I have whiter spots on my face 4. the acnee or the blemish are less visible even though the powder does not have any tint, is just white. I guess the white of the powder with the pink/redness of the blemish balance each other out .... but for the last coverage, I use another brand face powder, like SkinClearing or other mineral powder. 5. for the rest of my face and after healing I use the Vit C cream/ Serum (I prefer the cream).... apply by patting with my palms so the circulation is also invigorated, I let it settle for a min and then I use the Rose Water Toner that will not only hydrate the skin but will also take care of any excess Vit C cream/ serum and also help penetrate deeper making it more efficient 6. whatever other product you choose, please read the Use instructions because Vit C and products with glycolic acids and other acid exfoliators and cleansers do not go well together ....

Mario Badescu always seems to get it just just when it comes to skin products-- this healing blemish face powder can be used during the day (under makeup) or at night before bedtime. It dries up any oily patches on my face and instantly works on those "would be" blemishes/pimples before they actually make their appearance. This stuff is like an instant fix and I make sure to keep it on hand at all times-- LOVE IT!

This product is a cult fave just like their drying lotion, but gets so misunderstood from the reviews I've read. It is an all over finishing powder, yes, for all skin tones! If you use it that way on melanin-blessed skin, please don't use the puff they provide. That is too heavy an application and will show opaque on your skin. Use a very fluffy, long bristled powder brush. Natural bristle holds the product, synthetic bristle let's it fly away. I like synthetic for finishing powder so it's not cakey. And for the love, not a flat-top aka kabuki or domed brush. That is what you want for a powder foundation application. The DUcare you can find here on Amazon looks like it'll do the job great! B09W957GTH <--- search that ASIN it'll pop up the D03. This is also an anti-redness/color correcting powder. That's a happy by-product of the yellowish color of the active ingredient sulfur. It is a daytime drying treatment to just- popped zits, y'all! Even the ones you could kick yourself for messing with when you're about to do your makeup and there's fluid...tap that bad boy with some of this magic Blemish Repairing Powder on a cotton swab. If it's not open, and you don't need full face prevention, and you just want to speed healing of yesterday's monster? I use a concealer brush or even an eye lining brush. Natural bristle for this trick. No fly away-lays down the product well. Boys! Treats popped and picked zits in the day, takes away redness, cotton swab application. Full face acne protection or broken out shave bumps in beard area? Big, fluffy synthetic bristle brush. Like an old fashioned shaving cream brush would work awesome for the guys. Ya dig? I don't work for Amazon or Mario B. I just have been in the beauty and spa biz a long time. I've sold, repped for, tried, sampled and bought every product and brand you can imagine! Product junkies gonna junk! ✌️💋🩷

Feels nice going on and helps take redness away from blemishes

someone reviewed this and mentioned they mix it with the deep blemish solution spot treatement and place on areas. i have done this during the day and night. it works best during the day but this combo def does work. i am also trying out the deepgreen zinc teca product and alongside this might be a great combo

Es muy bueno, es verde pero no cambia el tono del maquillaje.

I was so thrilled to discover this! I get hormonal cystic acne and even if I’m diligent putting pimple patches on and babying them I’m still stuck with an open wound that makeup won’t cover. This powder is great because it has clay and other ingredients to dry up the blemish and help it heal and it also makes it easier to cover with makeup. I like to dap a bit right on the blemish with a q-tip and the apply concealer over if needed. It works well as an all over powder (lightly) if you need some extra oil control too.

as expected, points noted Ordered this after reading through a bunch of reviews and watching some YouTube videos. Shipping was faster than expected - arrived early which was nice since I needed it for the weekend. The packaging was decent, nothing fancy but everything arrived intact. Quality is also as expected, good for new. I definitely needed another and the price point feels reasonable for what you get. matches the photos online pretty well. A few minor notes. Wish there was less packaging since I’m environmentally focused these days. Overall though, I’m satisfied with the purchase. Does exactly what I needed it to do. Would buy again if I need another one.
