I LOVE the Glycolic Foaming Cleanser. OMG you get the prettiest skin! It isn't even that drying. It exfoliates really well, I cannot live without this, ever! It's def one of my skin care HG along with Clarins Eye Contour Gel, Biologique Recherche P50 (can't afford that one right now) and Embryollisse Lait-Creme Concentre. You get a lot of use out of it.

The Glycolic Gel is awesome too. I use it at night if I want to look nice the following day. It moisturizes and exfoliates and leaves skin soft and even. YUM. Do wear a proper sunscreen while using anything acidic/exfoliating on your skin.

My blackheads are nearly gone (!), all I need is proper exfoliation really. But they have gotten so small that I can't use pore strips on my nose any more So I really want to get the Silver Powder to help with extractions about twice/month.

I also want to try the Whitening Mask, just because I'm a sucker for anything whitening...Michyed turned me I know she didn't like this one very much, but everyone's skin is different, maybe it works on me

I really want to try the Hyaluronic Emulsion with Vit C as well, sounds really nice to put under moisturizer/for night. I just love that MB products are so pure!
Ingredients: Seamollient, Collagen, Retinyl Palmitate,Hydrolized Elastin, Ascorbic Acid, Hyaluronic Acid,Imidazolidinyl Urea,RNA,Herbal Extract

I find that MB products to exactly what they promise. The only thing I don't like is the Seaweed toner, but I can't use any toner because they dry my skin out (my skin had been acting crazy this spring).

The_Ida, how many times a week do you use the Glycolic Foaming Cleanser? I have it but I don't think I'm using it properly...

 

[helloearth]

I think I'm going to try some of Mario's products. Can someone recommend some things for someone who has acne prone skin, oily T-zone, and has sensitive skin?

2-3 times a week. How can you not use it properly? Just wet your face, massage for a couple of minutes and rinse off. I don't think it's important when you do it, just remove your makeup first.

Try looking at their website. It's super helpful!

Now Ida made me to try all these stuff. I just have to find out if they ship to my country.

No, by not using it properly I meant I thought I was not using it enough...
Thanks though.
My skin is really tough though, nothing seems to work that well on it. Probably not using the right products

If not you know all you have to do is have them shipped to me and I'll send everything on to you what about HQHair though,do they ship to Slovenia?

My special cucumber lotion has nearly run out,and for the first time in a long time this is going to be a product that I'll purchase again

Oooohhh.

But hey, if your skin can take it, you an use it all you want, it is quite gentle IMO.

 

[moirla]

Has anyone tried either the Ceramide Herbal Eye Cream or the Glycolic Eye Cream? Any opinions?
By the way, I'm definitely picking up the Glycolic Foaming Cleanser today! It's been on my list for a little while. I'm looking forward to trying it out!

Oh, you're too good! Yees, HQHair does ship (I already ordered that gorgeous NARS Orgasm Illuminator). Are there MB products expensier? I have to check on that.

 

[marmoset]

Haha, thanks!
Yeah I could probably benefit form using it a little more.

°Isa, you could try beautybay.com, I'm pretty sure they ship worldwide.
They do Mario Badescu slightly cheaper than HQHair as well.

EDIT: I checked and they do ship to Slovenia, so that website is always an option

^good tip, I use beautybay too, sometimes they even have some MB products that HQHair doesn't stock.
I am so in love with the MB Glycolic Acid Toner

 

[minstinguett]

Just got the Glycolic Foaming Gel and the Hylauronic moisturiser. I have normal skin with an oily T zone. Loving both products. Am using the Glycolic Gel three times a week and my normal Shu Uemura Cleansing Oil the rest of the time. My skin likes it so far I think!

 

[The_Ida]

^We have really similar skin care Funny!

 

[LoveLiLi]

I have somewhat oily, acne-prone skin that is also ...**drumroll**...hypersensitive.

I've used MB products off and on for a few years now and I always go back. My favorite MB products are the Enzyme Cleansing Gel, the Cucumber Cleansing Lotion, and the Healing Cream (although I'm currently giving the Control Cream a try, so far so good).

I use the Buffering Lotion and the Ceramide Eye gel as well. I mostly use the Buffering Lotion during the summer months if I notice congestion on my cheeks.

I have the Special Healing Powder, but I noticed very small bumps forming each time I tried it, so I don't know that I'll use it again.

I think it's a great line and the sales associates are very helpful and nice. One of them gave me a large bag of samples. I got to try just about every product they have.

 

[moirla]

I bought the herbal eye cream and the honey moisturizer and I love them both!

 

[dumbfairy]

I just went on the beautybay website and they definatly have a better selection of MB than HQhair. I'm thinking about trying the buttermilk moisturizer next.

I have normal skin with oily t zone i guess, i almost never have break outs but i have black heads. Do you think glycolic foaming cleanser will be good for me?
