Here’s a list of the ingredients in Mario Badescu’s Drying Lotion and the affect they have on the skin:
Isopropyl Alcohol -  dissolves skin’s natural lipids, therefore very drying.

Deionized Water - Hydration

Calamine – a drying agent

Camphor – an anti-itch agent which can irritate the skin

Colloidal Sulfur – a keratolytic agent which means it can help exfoliate

Salicylic Acid - OTC approved acne fighting ingredient, but can be drying and irritating

Glycerine - humectant to bind moisture to the skin

Zinc Oxide – skin protectant

Titanium Dioxide and Talc - probably used to enhance a powdery feeling on skin. Titanium dioxide can be a sunblock if present in sufficient quantities

The combination of ingredients in the product is amazing.  The product is very drying in nature, and that is why you use such a small amount of the product and apply it directly to the pimple or blemish.  The severe drying properties help to eliminate the pimple and signs that it ever existed literally overnight!!

You may be a candidate for this product if you have teen acne, adult acne, periodic breakouts before a monthly period, or just an occasional pimple.  Anyone wanting to rid themselves of an unsightly whitehead can safely use this product.  I go through phases of wonderfully clear skin, and having a pimple here and there, so I keep a bottle of Mario Badescu’s Drying Lotion handy at all times.  Just a little dab, that’s all you need.  Apply it to a pimple you see that has just begun to break the surface, and it will be gone or ALMOST gone by morning.

The drying lotion is to be applied TO THE PIMPLE ONLY before going to bed and after you have cleansed, toned and moisturized the area.  Simply put a small amount of the lotion on the pimple.  A cotton swab works great as an applicator.  Do not rub the lotion in.  Just let it dry and rinse it off the next morning.  NOTE:  Special care should be given to NOT shake the bottle; the pink colored sediment is what you want to apply to the pimple.

As an added benefit, the drying lotion can be applied to itchy skin as a result of insect bites and irritated skin caused by razor burn.

If you suffer from any type of acne, this is the product for you.

I have a friend who is a HUGE fan of Mario Badescu’s skin care products.  And I asked him what he knew about Mario’s Drying Lotion.  He said, “Oh, the pink lotion?  I love it!!  Once I dropped the bottle on the floor and it broke.  I got down on my hands and knees trying to salvage what I could.  Scooping it back into what remained of the bottle.”  And this is a person that I cannot see getting on their hands and knees for anything!!  So, that is truly a compliment to Mario Badescu and his miracle drying lotion.
