Thanks again!

We're so happy to chat with you guys, @KatieBT! With aggressive hormonal breakouts, we always recommend consulting with an aesthetician or derm to make sure you get to the root of the problem.

Next up is establishing a solid skin care routine that includes products that both clarify and balance the skin. Good staples include Mario Badescu Acne Facial Cleanser 6 oz/ 177 mL, Mario Badescu Special Cucumber Lotion 8 oz/ 236 mL, and Mario Badescu Buffering Lotion 1 oz/ 29 mLo target those large, under-the-skin bumps! 

Once your skin is relatively clear, you can get to brightening any areas of uneven skin tone. Mario Badescu Glycolic Foaming Cleanser 6 oz/ 177 mLand Mario Badescu Vitamin C Serum 1 oz/ 29 mL are game-changers!

Hello! Thank you for hosting this live chat 🙂 I’m 25 and I have combination skin with hyperpigmentation from past breakouts. What Mario Badescu products will best help with hyperpigmentation and perhaps quelling any active breakouts? Thank you so much!

[MarioBadescu]

@tobiz Hi there! First thing, don't worry! You will be amazed at how much improvement you can see with time. You just need a solid skin routine and a little bit of patience. 

Are you still breaking out? If you are, we suggest focusing on getting breakouts under control. As long as you are getting new blemished more dark spots will appear. Here are a few of our breakout fighting heros: Mario Badescu Acne Facial Cleanser 6 oz/ 177 mL,Mario Badescu Special Cucumber Lotion 8 oz/ 236 mL,Mario Badescu Drying Lotion Original,Mario Badescu Buffering Lotion 1 oz/ 29 mL.

Once skin is stable add in Mario Badescu Vitamin C Serum 1 oz/ 29 mLand Mario Badescu Glycolic Foaming Cleanser 6 oz/ 177 mL2-3 times a week. And be sure to protect you skin from the sun by using Mario Badescu Oil Free Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 2 oz/ 59 mL.Good luck!

Do you have any suggestions for blemishes how to fade them or get rid of them

[MarioBadescu]

@kayQueen83 We have a few solutions for you. Start by targeting breakouts using Mario Badescu Drying Lotion Original(for surface blemishes) and/or Mario Badescu Buffering Lotion 1 oz/ 29 mL(for large, under-the-surface bumps). Once your skin appears clear, it's time for phase two: incorporating brightening products into your regimen! We recommend using Mario Badescu Glycolic Foaming Cleanser 6 oz/ 177 mL1-3 times a week and applying Mario Badescu Vitamin C Serum 1 oz/ 29 mLevery other evening.

Hello, I am so excited for this chat! What cleanser, toner, and moisturizer would you recommend for acne prone skin? Thank you, in advance 🙂 

[MarioBadescu]

@BrendaBT We suggest Mario Badescu Acne Facial Cleanser 6 oz/ 177 mL, Mario Badescu Special Cucumber Lotion 8 oz/ 236 mL, and Mario Badescu Oil Free Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 2 oz/ 59 mL!

Hello! I am hoping you could help me with the bare minimum, essential products that I need to help my combination skin. I am 27 and am starting to think about anti-aging, but am more concerned with oil control and hydration.

[MarioBadescu]

@maloriejo If you are just starting to become concerned with anti-aging the first two things to add to your regimen are a moisturizer with sunscreen like Mario Badescu Oil Free Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 2 oz/ 59 mLand a product containing antioxidants. Our go-to is Mario Badescu Vitamin C Serum 1 oz/ 29 mL.From there you can round out your routine with Mario Badescu Enzyme Cleansing Gel 8 oz/ 236 mL, Mario Badescu Glycolic Acid Toner 8 oz/ 236 mL,and Mario Badescu Hyaluronic Eye Cream 0.5 oz/ 14 g.

This would be a solid place to start for combo skin!

Is your brand going to be available on Sephora’s Canada website or in store in Canada?

[MarioBadescu]

Hi @haha11! You're hearing it here first: We're launching online at Sephora.ca tomorrow, Jan. 8! What's on your wish list?

[FrancesArbie]

hi why did i get so much allergic reaction to mario badescu vit c serum thanks

[vivibcn]

Hi! Thanks for joining us!

My skin appears to be getting more sensitive as I get older. Is there any product or routine you'd recommend to prevent my skin from becoming even more sensitive? For context, I have combination skin with some evil pimples here and there. 

Thanks! 

[CarolBT]

Hello! I'm curious what your best bets are for very sensitive, red/inflamed skin. My rosacea is a bear to deal with sometimes and anything calming that won't trigger additional redness would be great.

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!
