Mario Badescu Buttermilk Face Moisturizer for Women and Men, Ideal Facial Moisturizer for Combination or Dry Skin, Lactic Acid and Thyme Extract-Infused Moisturizer Face Cream, 2 Fl Oz

If you looked at my purchase history from Amazon you would see I have spent a ton of money on skincare products. From expensive to not expensive and I have really not been happy with anything. These products are absolutely the best for my mature, dry skin. Very reasonably priced. The scent is wonderful. I tried 1 product and have used it for months and finally purchased several of their items. LOVE this line of skincare. Hope you will give it a try if you have been searching for something that works.

I still try other moisturizers but always end up coming back to this one.

The scent of this product is a little overwhelming at first but it works good. I use it to skin cycle on nights I’m not using retinol and use mandelic acid instead since lactic acid is an ingredient in the moisturizer and I try to use my aha products on same nights. I’m satisfied with the product and I love a lot of Mario bandescu products like the facial mists and oil cleanser. It doesn’t hurt that it was recommended by Christy Brinkley.

This moisturizer is very light weight. It leaves your skin with a smooth and soft texture. However, because I have very dry skin, it wasn’t enough to keep me moisturized. I would layer shea butter over it to feel hydrated over a long period of time. Overall, I think it’s a good moisturizer, but it’s most suitable for people with oily to normal skin, because it doesn’t have as much hydrating power as needed for dry skin.

After seeing this recommended by the brand’s expert on another website, I decided to give this a try and I’m absolutely glad I did! I have acne that I treat with sulfur and salicylic based products that are effective but very drying. I use it as the final step in a rigorous daytime treatment and moisturizing regime; and in the evening as the only thing I wear after removing my makeup. It not only has an instant hydrating effect, but after it’s absorbed, my skin feels baby soft and poreless. The consistency is good and what you’d expect from a moisturizer but once it’s on the skin, it absorbs and becomes weightless and imperceptible. If your skin is combination type, I’d use a lighter nickel-sized application. If it’s dry from acne treatment, I’d suggest what I use, about a half-dollar sized amount. Either way, I’d suggest giving it a chance since I have very sensitive skin and it has worked beautifully for me.

This is a great brand, and I have use this on and off for many years. If you have very dry skin, this may not be enough moisture. It is a great daytime moisturizer. My husband likes it for evening. It is great for men who do not like a lot of sent, and does not feel greasy.

Very small bottle and contwnts seperate so that you get cream part of the time and liquid sometimes even if you shake it :( Smells nice and is not heavy or oily

I've been using this for a week now, and during this period my skin has significantly improved. I never really suffered from acne when I was younger (I know I'm lucky) but I am prone to stress blemishes, they're not really pimples. I have been extremely, like to the max stressed these past 6 weeks from grad school and it's been taken out on my skin. I have sensitive skin so most acne or treatment products do more harm than good, I have tried so many moisturizers which make my skin feel nice and start to soothe the dry blemishes that I have but then my pores get clogged and I get pimples. It's a never ending cycle. I was at my wits end, so I decided to try Mario Badescu's line (I probably purchased about 12 different items) I've been using the acne cleanser, and kiwi scrub, after day one my skin looked a little better, but the moisturizer I was worried about because normally applying moisturizer once a day will make me break out, but I've been applying this 2-3 times a day and my skin is looking so much better a week after use. For me it is definitely worth the price tag, just wish it came in a bigger bottle.
