I am very happy with this Mario Badescu Silver powder. The product can be messy, I have found using a flat makeup brush helps with the application process. Make sure to wear old clothes as the product turns back to powder during drying. The amount of product is great for the money. It works just as expected for both my son and myself, drawing out his blackheads, and my under the skin bumps. Follow the directions using an astringent to remove the powder. We have been using this twice a week for about 3 weeks now and love the results.
