I am 57 and have had bouts with acne since I was 20.  For the past few years my skin was glowing to the point that I got egotistical about it, constantly looking in mirrors, admiring my glow, asking my husband, "have you ever seen such gorgeous skin?  Check me out?  Flawless, yes?" and then it happened...adult acne found me again. Probably God's way of giving me a dose of humility; in truth, I probably needed it.  Anyway, cystic acne attacked and I didn't know what to do.  I had lumps all over my chin, my cheeks and my forehead.  I could not cover it up with makeup.  Naturally I tried to squeeze them, thinking that somehow this time it would make them go away, but just like the other 900 times, nothing happened, they just got more red and swollen and just...would...not...go...away.  It really made me feel terrible.  Anyway, I proceeded to try everything under the sun to get rid of my acne, and finally stumbled upon Mario Bedescu.  Perhaps God decided to cut me some slack and show me The Way to Clear Skin.  And this product line really, really works.  And it works fast.  I use the Seaweed soap cleanser, the Drying Lotion and this stuff, the Buffering Lotion, which was most important to the whole process for me.  The Buffering Lotion sinks deep into your skin and kills whatever bacteria it is that makes the cystic bumps form  in the first place.  It smooths the skin and they don't come back. If a little zit even thinks about growing, this product stops it in its tracks.  I recently started using the Seaweed Night Cream, which is amazing--it does not clog your pores, it helps clear the acne (which is not always the case for a moisturizer) and keeps my skin nice and smooth and soft.  So I have my beautiful skin back, but this time I am keeping my ego in check.  And I stock up on Mario Badescu.  Oh yes I do.
