Mario Badescu AM/PM Blemish Kit — Drying Lotion 1 fl oz + 12 Clear Drying Patches, Salicylic Acid & Sulfur

Mario Badescu AM/PM Blemish Kit pairs the brand's cult-favorite Drying Lotion with twelve clear Drying Patches to target and reduce the appearance of surface blemishes day and night.

This two-piece kit offers two complementary approaches: a bi-phase drying solution designed for overnight spot treatment, and transparent adhesive patches formulated for discreet daytime or overnight use. Both options focus on absorbing excess oil, calming irritation, and creating conditions that help visibly reduce the look of pimples without harsh, drying ingredients.

How does the Drying Lotion work while I sleep?

The Drying Lotion is a bi-phase, sediment-style spot treatment: pink sediment sits at the bottom and contains the active drying ingredients. You dab the sediment onto a clean, dry blemish at night and let it sit; the formula is meant to draw out surface impurities and absorb oil while you sleep.

• Key actives: salicylic acid to exfoliate pores, sulfur to help control oil, and zinc oxide for absorbency.
• Bi-phase presentation concentrates actives in the sediment for targeted application.
• Applied with a cotton swab to prevent contamination and avoid spreading product over healthy skin.

When should I reach for the Drying Patch instead of the lotion?

Choose the clear Drying Patch when you need a discrete option during the day or whenever you want a protective barrier over a blemish. The patch combines hydrocolloid benefits with a blend of calming and brightening skincare ingredients for an active, protective approach.

• Wear during the day or night; patches are thin and nearly invisible on skin.
• Formulated with salicylic acid, niacinamide, vitamin C and hyaluronic acid to soothe and support skin balance.
• Perforated sheet makes application simple and hygienic; press adhesive side down and leave in place.

Are these products safe for all skin types and easy to use?

Yes — both items are formulated without alcohol, dyes, fragrances, mineral oil, parabens, phthalates, silicones or sulfates and are vegan. Instructions emphasize targeted use on intact skin and hygiene steps to minimize irritation or contamination.

• Drying Lotion: only use the cotton-swab method on closed blemishes; do not apply to broken skin.
• Drying Patch: remove and replace as directed, avoid layering makeup on top of an applied patch.
• Gentle formulas make them suitable for most ages and skin types; always patch-test if sensitive.

How will this kit fit into my existing skincare routine?

Use the Drying Lotion as a focused nighttime step after cleansing and toning; reserve patches for daytime coverage or overnight protection when preferred. Both can be paired with Mario Badescu acne regimen items or standard cleansers and moisturizers to maintain balanced skin.

• Night: cleanse, tone, dab Drying Lotion on blemish, rinse in morning.
• Day or night: apply a Drying Patch to a clean blemish and leave in place for best results.
• Avoid applying other topicals over patches and don’t pick or squeeze blemishes.

Who is this for? The AM/PM Blemish Kit is designed for anyone looking for targeted spot solutions that combine active drying power and discreet protection. It suits people who want an overnight potent spot treatment and a portable, nearly invisible patch option for daytime or travel. Ideal for those who prefer formulas free from common irritants and for users who value simple, step-focused blemish care that slots easily into any routine.
