Mario Badescu Cucumber Cleansing Lotion for Combination & Oily Skin, 16 fl oz — Cooling, Oil-Controlling Toner

Mario Badescu Cucumber Cleansing Lotion is a cooling astringent toner formulated to remove excess oil and surface impurities while helping to calm and refresh combination and oily skin.

Designed for skin that leans oily in the T-zone or needs a clarifying boost, this 16 fl oz bottle delivers cucumber extract in a lightweight lotion format that tones and refreshes after cleansing. The formula acts as a surface cleanser and astringent to help reduce visible shine and give skin a clearer, more balanced appearance. Use morning and night as part of your routine to sweep away residue and prepare skin for serums or moisturizers.

How does this lotion help oily and combination skin?

The lotion uses cucumber extract, known for its cooling and skin-softening properties, to address surface oil and impurities without feeling heavy. It functions as an astringent to refine the look of pores and reduce T-zone shine while leaving skin feeling refreshed. It’s applied with a cotton pad to lift away residue after cleansing.

• Contains cucumber extract for cooling and calming effects
• Removes pore-clogging residue and surface oils
• Light, non-greasy finish suitable for combination/oily skin types

When and how should I apply the Cucumber Cleansing Lotion?

Apply the lotion twice daily—morning and evening—after cleansing for best results. Saturate a cotton ball or pad and sweep outward across the face until the cotton comes up clean, avoiding the eye area. If contact with eyes occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.

• Use after cleansing to ensure removal of leftover makeup and oils
• Sweep in outward motions until cotton pad is clean
• Avoid eye contour; rinse with water if product gets into eyes

Can this be combined with other Mario Badescu treatments?

Yes—this toner pairs well with other products in the line to intensify results and maintain skin balance. For a targeted treatment, apply Mario Badescu’s Cucumber Tonic Mask for 15–20 minutes, rinse, then follow with the Cucumber Cleansing Lotion to tone and remove any remaining impurities. After toning, continue with your preferred serum and moisturizer.

• Use after a Cucumber Tonic Mask to complete a clarifying treatment
• Prepares skin for serums and lightweight moisturizers
• Works in multi-step routines for clearer-looking skin

What should I expect in terms of texture and scent?

The lotion has a lightweight, fluid consistency that absorbs quickly when applied with a cotton pad; it does not leave a heavy or sticky residue. It carries a fresh, cucumber-forward scent that contributes to the cooling sensation without overpowering. Because it’s an astringent, you may notice a tightened, refreshed feel on oily areas after application.

• Light lotion texture that wipes clean with a cotton pad
• Fresh cucumber scent that emphasizes a cooling experience
• Non-greasy finish appropriate for daytime or nighttime use
