Mario Badescu Skin Care Samples
After taking a short questionnaire pertaining to my skin type and skin issues I was sent a nice little package filled with recommended product samples to test and play with.
The package contained a total of six product samples: Enzyme Cleansing Gel, Special Cucumber Lotion, Hyaluronic Eye Cream, Aloe Moisturizer SPF 15, Drying Mask & Strawberry Face Scrub along with an application guide and product catalog.
After using the samples for two days my skin is super soft. My complexion is brighter and more colorful where it used to be dull and pale and any blemishes I had or was starting to get prior to testing are now non-existent.
It even cleared away a few stubborn blackheads that had been annoying me for years.
While I don’t like the smell of the products due to them not having any fake fragrances in them (which is a good thing because fake fragances irritate sensitive skin) I love the way they work.
I have super sensitive skin and these products don’t bother me at all. No tacky residue, burning sensation or dry skin.
The best part is that it has lasting results.
All the other products I’ve tried have left my skin feeling smooth after application but my skin would feel the same as it did prior to application within a few hours but with Mario Badescu at work my skin stays nice, soft and smooth after application and far beyond.
I couldn’t believe how soft my skin felt when I woke up the next morning.
My favorite product out of the pile has to be the Drying Mask. It stinks to high heavens because it uses sulfur as an ingredient, but boy oh boy does it work. It’s really a spot treatment but I figured for my first go round I’d do a full facial mask with it instead.
Before I applied it I had a raised area on the right side of my nose that had been driving me crazy for weeks and by the time I rinsed it off it was half the size it used to be and get this… The next morning it was completely gone!
I would have preferred the drying lotion but I’m more than happy with the mask and since it’s a spot treatment the sample they sent me will last me for months.
My second favorite of the bunch is the Strawberry Face Scrub. It’s a super thick, super gentle exfolient that uses strawberry seeds to buff away dead skin cells.
You only use it 2-3 times a week and it doesn’t take much to get the job done so this is another sample that will last me for a little while. It also brings some color to your complexion which is a nice little bonus.
Are these products magical? No, but they do work and there aren’t any harsh chemicals, dyes or fragrances to mess with my skin.
Mario Badescu gets a big A++ in my book and I fully intend to save up a little cash and get the full sized versions of the samples they sent me.. and a few other products.
I highly recommend these products to anyone but especially for those out there who have sensitive skin like I do.
Mild yet super effective, these are the products you’ve been searching for!
