• Salicylic acid is one of the gold standard ingredients for treating clogged pores. It is lipid-soluble, which helps it to reach the deeper layers of the skin and remove the build-up of dead skin cells. Moreover, it has an anti-irritant and anti-inflammatory effect, soothing ongoing flare-ups and preventing new ones to happen;
• Zinc Oxide is a very popular skin soothing component. Besides physical sunscreens and diaper rash barrier creams, it enrolls the ingredients of masks like this one due to its ability to minimize irritation and redness;
• Glycerin is a humectant that also happens to be present in the human body and keeps the lipids between our skin cells in a healthy state. Thus, it protects against irritation and keeps our natural barrier in its best condition at all times.

After finishing the evening skincare routine, use a small amount of Mario Badescu Drying Lotion by soaking a cotton swab on the pink sediment in the bottom of the bottle. Then, apply it directly to affected areas (zits, comedones, and clusters of surface blemishes), on the face or body. Avoid shaking and mixing the two visible phases of the product. Then, close the bottle and let the applied product air dry. Make sure to rinse the area the morning after performing the treatment. Do not use it on skin that is already healed, bleeding or broken. If it accidentally gets in the eye area, immediately remove it with abundant water.
