In the last few couple of weeks I came across few skincare products that really impressed me. Number one has got to be Mario Badescu’s Buffering Lotion. It’s an overnight treatment formulated especially for deep, cystic blemishes and it works wonders. It has a very watery formula (it contains: Deionized Water, Isopropyl Alcohol,Sodium Sulfate, Zinc Oxide, Hydrolyzed Serum Protein, Hydrolyzed Yeast Protein,Pyridoxine, Niacinamide, Panthenol,Propylene Glycol, Allantoin, Biotin).
