Is it okay to use the glycolic acid toner during the day??

Re: Chat Live with the Mario Badescu Team

Yes, @JessieSkin! is mild enough to use twice daily, AM and PM. Just make sure you use SPF during the day!

Hey there I was wondering do you have any products that minimizes pores other than toner? Or how can I use toner to minimize my pores? Also do you guys have any eye creams that you would recommend for dark circles or any products that could help with dark circles?

Hello Nicole & Kim! I have combo skin. Over the summer I tried different products and broke out so much, even though I tried them one at a time. How can I help get rid of the dark spots? I use a serum & moisturizer with vit C. I also have a glycolic toner I use at night, and an antioxidant serum I use in the daytime. Thanks in advance.

Hey there, Kim & Nicole! I have combo skin, and suffer from hormonal acne from time to time. Any product recommendations to zap these zits, and heal up the scars that follow?

Hi! So excited to be a part of this! I have these crater-like indentions in my face leftover from cystic acne I had when I was pregnant. Is there anything I can do to get rid of them? Thank you! ❤️

@Bekahd99 Great questions!

Re: Pores. The best way to make pores look refined is to make sure they're clean and clear. Try exfoliating 2-3 times per week using , using a clay-based mask a few times a week (like ), and using 1-2 times a week!

As for dark circles: Our eye creams don't claim to lighten dark circles (especially since they can be caused by different factors), but keeping the eye area hydrated is key in improving the appearance of tired eyes! Try using !

Hi! What would be the recommended products to use for anti-aging benefits?

Re: Chat Live with the Mario Badescu Team

Hi @danielledanielle! Let's address those breakouts first: cleanse twice daily using and use products like and/or ohelp target any surface blemishes or under-the-surface bumps.

Once your skin appears clearer, it's onto phase two: brightening any areas of discoloration you may have! Try using 2-3 times a week, wice daily, and every other evening before bed. Hope this helps!

Hi Kim & Nicole,

I have tried only a handful of Mario Badescu products, and love masking. Do you have any deep hydration or soothing masks you would suggest for dry winter skin? Thank you!
