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

Mario Badescu AM/PM Blemish Kit pairs a concentrated overnight Drying Lotion with clear adhesive Drying Patches to quickly reduce the appearance of surface blemishes.

This two-piece kit gives you a targeted evening treatment plus daytime-friendly patches so you can tackle breakouts around the clock. The Drying Lotion is a bi-phase, spot-only formula that draws impurities from surface blemishes overnight. The Drying Patches are thin, nearly invisible stickers infused with blemish-fighting ingredients designed to flatten and protect spots while you go about your day.

How do I use the Drying Lotion effectively?

Apply the Drying Lotion only to clean, dry skin and use a cotton swab to target the pink sediment at the bottle’s base — that’s the treatment concentrate. Dab the product directly on the surface blemish without rubbing it in, leave it overnight, and rinse in the morning. Avoid broken or irritated skin and do not re-dip the same swab to prevent contamination.

• Use at night after cleansing and toning.
• Dip one side of a cotton swab into the sediment, dab on blemish only.
• Let the lotion dry; rinse off in the morning.
• Do not use on open wounds or broken skin.

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

Drying Patches are ideal for daytime wear or when you need a discrete, protective barrier over a spot. They flatten and absorb while releasing niacinamide, vitamin C and hyaluronic acid to support skin comfort. Patches prevent picking, stop contamination, and can be worn under makeup — avoid applying other topicals on top of the patch.

• Peel and apply adhesive side down to the blemish.
• Keep on through day or night for best results.
• Do not layer makeup or creams over the patch.
• Not for use on broken or open skin.

What ingredients are doing the work in this kit?

The Drying Lotion combines salicylic acid, sulfur, and zinc oxide to help absorb oil and support pore clarity at the surface level. The Drying Patches contain a calming and active blend — salicylic acid with niacinamide, vitamin C and hyaluronic acid — to soothe and support blemish recovery while maintaining moisture. Both products avoid common irritants and are formulated without alcohol, dyes, fragrances, parabens, phthalates, silicones, and sulfates.

• Salicylic Acid: exfoliating and pore-targeting at the surface.
• Sulfur: helps absorb excess oil from targeted spots.
• Zinc Oxide: oil-absorbing, soothing mineral support.
• Niacinamide, Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid: calming, brightening, hydrating benefits in patches.

How do I fit the AM/PM Blemish Kit into my routine without irritation?

Use the Drying Lotion only as a spot treatment overnight; limit the quantity and avoid repeated use on the same area to reduce irritation risk. Patches can be worn day or night and are gentle enough for most skin types; start with shorter wear time if you have reactive skin. Always cleanse first and follow with your usual gentle moisturizer elsewhere on the face.

• Night: apply Drying Lotion to blemishes after cleansing.
• Day: use a Drying Patch for protection and concealment.
• Avoid layering multiple active spot treatments together.
• Test one area if you have sensitive skin.

Who is this kit for? The Mario Badescu AM/PM Blemish Kit is aimed at people who want a targeted, non-invasive approach to surface blemishes: those who prefer a concentrated overnight spot treatment plus a slim, almost invisible patch for daytime coverage. It suits a wide range of skin types, including oil-prone and combination skin, and is a convenient option for anyone who wants to manage breakouts without heavy creams or prescription products.
