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

Mario Badescu AM/PM Blemish Kit pairs the classic Drying Lotion spot treatment with clear Drying Patches to visibly reduce the look of surface blemishes overnight and flatten them during the day.

This two-in-one kit gives you a targeted nighttime treatment and a daytime-friendly adhesive patch so you can address pimples without disrupting your routine. The Drying Lotion is a bi-phase formula that draws out impurities with salicylic acid, sulfur, and zinc oxide, while the clear Drying Patch combines hydrocolloid technology with niacinamide, vitamin C and hyaluronic acid to soothe and protect blemishes as they heal.

How does the Drying Lotion work while I sleep?

The Drying Lotion is a dual-phase topical treatment: the pink sediment contains active ingredients that sit at the bottle’s base and are applied directly to surface blemishes. Left on overnight, it helps absorb excess oil and aid in clearing the look of spots by drawing out surface impurities.

• Contains salicylic acid for gentle exfoliation of clogged pores
• Sulfur helps reduce excess oil where it’s applied
• Zinc oxide and calamine-like ingredients soothe and cool
• Applied with a cotton swab to the pink sediment only; rinse in morning

When should I choose the Drying Patch instead of the lotion?

Use the clear Drying Patch when you want an invisible, protective cover that flattens and absorbs fluids from a blemish during the day or night. The patch is ideal for situations where you need discretion or want to protect a spot from picking and external contaminants.

• Hydrocolloid-style patch with active skincare additives
• Formulated with niacinamide, vitamin C and hyaluronic acid for soothing support
• Perforated sheets for easy peeling and placement
• Wearable under makeup; avoid layering other topicals over the patch

How do I use each product safely and effectively?

Start with clean, dry skin. For the Drying Lotion, dip a cotton swab into the pink sediment and dot the blemish without rubbing; do not reuse the same swab side. For the Drying Patch, apply the adhesive side down and press gently; leave it in place for best results and avoid applying on broken skin.

• Do not use either product on open or broken skin
• Drying Lotion: apply only with a swab to sediment, rinse off in morning
• Drying Patch: press adhesive side to blemish; do not place other products over the patch
• Both are fragrance-, dye-, and alcohol-free and suitable for multiple skin types

Can these products fit into my everyday skincare regimen?

Yes — the kit is designed for spot treatment alongside your usual cleanser, toner and moisturizer. Use the Drying Lotion as an overnight targeted treatment and the Drying Patch when you need a discreet, protective option during the day or while traveling.

• Pair with gentle cleansing and non-comedogenic moisturizers
• Avoid combining with other active spot treatments on the exact same blemish
• Safe for use on face, chest and back when used as directed
• Vegan, cruelty-free, and formulated without sulfates, parabens, phthalates or mineral oil

Who is this for? This kit is made for anyone seeking a targeted, non-intrusive approach to managing occasional surface blemishes: ideal for teens and adults who want both an effective overnight clarifier and a daytime invisible patch. It works well for those who prefer simple, science-backed spot solutions that slot easily into existing routines without heavy scents, dyes or unnecessary additives.
