Mario Badescu Cleanser Review and MORE!

As a teenager I combated acne, not severe acne... but acne. I was very self conscious and tried to rid of it as quick as I possibly could. My parents purchased almost every acne and pimple treatment products that were hyped about. So, I ended up washing my face every so often with clearasil and consumed lots of fruit, veggies and large amount of water. Eventually it reduced. 

Range of Cleansers and Exfoliants I've used over the years

Now, being 19, and still prone to break outs by heaps of products including popular products every makeup fanatic raves about, I still need to maintain and good skin care routing. I've tried a lot. Now though, I'm pretty happy with my skin care routine. From Garnier to Clinique, and Clean & Clear to Lancome... nothing compares to my Mario Badescu cleanser and PHisoex cleanser topped off with my 'The Face Shop Aloe Oil-Free moisturiser' or 'Lancome Hydra Zen moisturiser'. 

While shopping at MECCA, the helpful sales assistants told me that Mario Badescu products are great for skin care. Hesitant (because almost every other product I tried did no good for me), I though 'what the heck let's give it a go'. So I did. 

On days where I don't use MB Cleanser, I use PHisoex and moiturise with 'The Face Shop Aloe Oil-Free Moisturiser' or 'Lancome Hydra Zen Moisturiser'.
