[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our son was having terrible breakouts and we were just about to go to Accutane.  He had one cystic acne pimple that put a hole in his face.  However, a friend suggested Mario Badescu products and we decided to give the topicals one more try for a month since the Accutane was available.  He used the acne wash, the drying cream (which has sulfur). Yes, he smelled of sulfur (he put it on at night and then less in the AM on certain breakouts).  He also used the drying lotion for cystic acne (he could feel the deeper ones coming).  We were both surprised that it worked amazingly well and broke the cycle of redness, dryness, more breakouts etc. He never needed the Accutane.  He was 15 and is now 19 and everyone comments on his amazing skin.  He continues to use the acne wash.  He lives at home and is going to a local college.  The other night, he asked if I could help him with a cystic pimple coming on his back.  It was the first in a very long time.  Used the MB drying lotion and it was 1/3 size the next morning and completely gone 2 days later.

Over an 8 month period, he tried Neutrogena, Clinique, Proactive, St. Ives and maybe another topical and was ready to give up.  I can only share his experience and I am grateful to my NY friend for suggesting it.  I do not work for  Mario Badescu, but the products really worked.  It did take 5 weeks, but he the improvement was obvious by the end of the first week and by the second week, his face was much calmer and less painful.  www.mariobadescu.com

Can you share all of the products he used?[/quote]
My teen has moderate acne on his back, and we have tried a topical antibiotic and benzoyl peroxide. Helps a little but not that much. Will try Mario Badescu today. Has anyone else had luck with this? Also, would you avoid topical antibiotics, ingested antibiotics, accutane, etc?  [/quote]
