If you want to know the truth about something, check out Instagram. Seriously. We get our funniest, sweetest and most brutally honest comments on Insta. It’s one of our favorite ways to get feedback from you guys!

Here’s what people are saying about our (relatively new) Botanical Exfoliating Scrub:

@kaitlynsa1

@razzputput

We got the mother of all reviews from #bblogger Veronica Cid of CID STYLE FILE:

@cidstylefile

…have your ever tried a product for the 1st time and immediately knew you love it? Well that’s what happened with this @mariobadescu Botanical Exfoliating Scrub, it’s the newest from #MarioBadescu and it marvelous. So this scrubs is made to help you get a smoother and more raidiant skin. The first time I used it, I could notice a difference in my skin. It was baby soft and smooth, my skin was glowing and even had a sheen to it, not oily looking but just clean. I have a bit of sensitive skin so I don’t do scrubs too often but this one was gentle. It has nothing but natural ingredients like Ivory Palm seeds, coconut, ginger, green tea and gingko extracts. It’s a gel based formula with tiny granular ivory palm seeds finely ground. It has a light fresh scent and you only need about a pea size to cover your face. I used a little too much the 1st time, and used the extra on my hands so it wouldn’t go to waste. After rinsing off my face and hands were so smooth and soft! I could notice my pores looking a bit smaller too and believe it or not even a few wrinkles looked a bit diminished. All I can say is since I started using a few of the Mario Badescu products they have worked great and I love them!

I mean, what more can we say? Maybe that the scrub was recently named the winner of a 2015 Latina Beauty Award as one of their “Must-have new products to slay every day.”

What do you think? Have you tried the scrub yet?

3 Mistakes You’re Making Every Time You Wash Your Face

Originally published as 3 Mistakes You’re Making Every Time You Wash Your Face from the Mario Badescu Skin Care Blog.

Our most popular cleanser

1. Rinsing with hot water

You’ll notice on all our cleansers’ labels that we advise rinsing with warm or tepid water. It’s for good reason, too: water that’s too hot can leave your skin’s outer barrier weak, stripped, and dry.

2. Not exfoliating regularly—or at all

In fact, it’s essential to getting rid of all that dulling and pore-clogging dead skin cell buildup. You want smooth, radiant skin, right?

Exfoliating is key.

3. Using a harsh cleanser

If it stings, burns, or dries you out—it’s working against your skin. Basically, trust your instincts: if something feels uncomfortable before, during, or after using it, it’s not meant for your skin type.

You want to cleanse—not strip your skin’s outer barrier and leave it dry and tight.

Reviews: Glycolic Foaming Cleanser

Originally published as Reviews: Glycolic Foaming Cleanser from the Mario Badescu Skin Care Blog.

Fact: Glycolic Acid is the smallest alpha-hydroxy acid, making it perfect for penetrating the skin and breaking up the lipids that hold dead skin cells together.

In other words: it’s an awesome exfoliant.

We’re so thrilled to see that our Glycolic Foaming Cleanser has been working so well for such a large number of you! We want to thank everybody who takes the time to post reviews on our site, and—because we love this cleanser so much—we thought we’d share some of your thoughts on this product!

Mallory J. in Kentucky writes, “I used to use an exfoliator that would be harsh and hurt my skin, until I found this! It gives me that baby smooth skin without irritation. It has definitely given me the confidence to not be afraid to have people touch my face and it gives me a youthful glow!”

New Jersey’s Nicole B. agrees: “This stuff is MAGIC! I have had acne-prone skin for years and as a long time customer I have used lots of Mario products over the years and I just recently decided to try this as a sample in my last order! I noticed a difference the first few days I started using the sample. I have since ordered a full bottle and my skin is finally clearing up and is so smooth! I highly recommend!!!”

We’d like to note that we recommend that this glycolic acid cleanser be used 2-3 times a week in place of your regular cleanser in order to add exfoliation into your regimen. 

Corrie H. in Massachusetts has been using this product as her exfoliant. She says, “I received some samples of this cleanser when I first started using MB and I fell in love with it. I have combo/dry/sensitive skin prone to hormonal breakouts. This cleanser makes my skin feel so clean, refreshed, and soft without overdyring it and it foams up beautifully. I use it several times a week and I love the results I have gotten”
