Unpopular opinion: Hyram gets way too much attention for a person who has literally no studies in cosmetology ,dermatology or cosmetic chemistry. He always mentions he is not an expert yet everyone sees him as the skincare God. Anyone who has an internet connection is able to find resources to learn a few things about skincare. He also contradicts himself in regards to some ingredients and has promoted brands that had products that were against what he preached about just because he definitely got some big cash out of that collaboration.
Agree! He acts like he knows everything just because of what he read on google. Yeah trust google. He only knows the ingredients but not really how it is formulated. Cringey
Companies should carry both fragrance and fragrance-free options for their consumers, that way both fragrance junkies and fragrance-free junkies can enjoy the products. I think it's a move in the right direction, but I'm still not really a fan of Mario Badescu products.
100%!!! I recently found out neutrogena finally came out with a fragrance free hydro burst cleanser and I’m soooo excited. I loved that cleanser but could not handle the fragrance.
I love fragrance which is why I want fragrance free products. Nothing worse than my hair, make up and skin care scents clashing with each other AND my perfume :(
Wholeheartedly agree, it’s very nice to have fragrance-free options for peeps who are sensitive to it like me while still not eliminating the demographic who loves scented products
Mario Badescu is from Romania, not Ukraine as Cassandra mentions. I get that this whole region gets treated like a whole, or even all of Europe is just one single country in most of Americans' perception 😔
I actually love their seaweed night cream. It’s one of the most unique creams I’ve tried, and very very rich in texture. But they put a literal bottle of old lady perfume in that bish. I have to be extremely dry to resort to using it.
The seaweed night cream is formulated for combo, oily and sensitive skin types. I run dry and can use it fine. Only a pea size amount for the entire face. It’s an awesome cream. The scent doesn’t bother me at all… I don’t get “old lady perfume” from it. Lol.. it was also written up as a dupe for the La Mer cream. So for $22 I’ll keep using it. Lol
I understand that hyram has had a hard life but dude, I stopped caring about him and his opinion. Unsubscribed a long time ago. No, i think brands do listen, it just takes a while. Remember that companies have to think about revenue when they change something. So it takes time. I wish the best for hyram but I still can’t forgive him, sorry….
I agree. Why people value his opinion so much mind-boggles me..😒. Companies do listen, but only when it comes to losing consumers. They should listen to those who actually buy their products, instead of waiting for one person who has a platform to potentially ruin them.

I think that's the point, people can use whatever works for them, she just reminds us that "clean" is not a real thing so if that marketing is the only reason you are using a product you might want to recomsider. Being informed helps you make better decisions for ypurself and not spread misinformation.
@@morgianasartre6709 I understand and agreed with the marketing issue but there is definitely an element of mockery from certain youtubers about certain brands and "natural" products.
@@missbeaussie I think the mockery element comes as a reaction to people who are actively spreading misinformation like Gweneth Paltrow who has built an industry on it and brands that use it to sell based on fear, not the regular people who happen to buy into it.
I love the sprays. The fragrance doesn’t bother me, I love it cuz it’s subtle, my skin is moisturised, the sprays are affordable, it helps my skin balance out through the day. I haven’t tried this new spray but if it’s better, cool.
A friend got me one of those sprays, and it was like spraying perfume on my face. It lingered too, which made my allergies pop up. I often wonder if it's batch processed, so QC doesn't automatically pick up on variable strengths, as my friend, after I gave it back to her, said that that bottle was stronger than hers in her bathroom.
@@snulsim7245 I would love to, unfortunately I live in Malaysia and the Sephora App doesn’t carry that brand. I would rather not buy it from other intermediaries because I can never know if it’s authentic or a knock off. No complaints on the current Mario sprays tho. I don’t have sensitive skin, it’s combination to oily and I love fragrance ✌️
@@DinkyInky2 omg I’m so sorry that happened to you! I remember I used to have acne and back then my skin would act up as well!!! It takes a while to get your skin back on track after that, I hope you are okay 🙏🏽
I got this in a subscription box and really like it. I knew lots of influencers don’t like the brand, so I came here to find out why. It didn’t realize this was a brand new offering.
I have eczema and their rosewater spray actually helps to stop the flare-up. I remember the skin on my hands was boiling up yet again and flaky, the rosewater spray was within reach - yes I sprayed it on my hands. It worked to calm it. Just wanted to share because with the eczema and having 'eczema-friendly' products cause me flare-ups, I was terrified to have anything on my hands for the longest time. But this spray does work to soothe and hydrate my skin (I can feel it when I close my palms) and it doesn't hurt to try 👍
I’ve been using the drying lotion for spots for 30 years. I tried the Kate Somerville one and it’s feels like the EXACT same thing for more money. Their other products have all been “meh” for me. Reasonably priced, but not the luxury experience I look for in my skin care routine.
Honestly, Hyrem also needs to innovate a little. His every video is same (fragrance equals bad for 10 minutes), and honestly the whole fragrance is bad is just a pseudo science and nothing more at this point.
@@shauni1987 they aren’t though? It’s like in the top 5 reasons people leave work early (I can’t remember exactly off the top of my head but it was a European study)
Best.Bottles.Ever. Every time I've received a free MB fragranced water, I dump it down the drain, wash it, then use the bottle for setting spray. The mist on their bottles is fantastic! But the contents burn my face off..lol
Please talk about the super goop suncreen spray!! Or other products that are good for reapplying spf throughout the day. Me and my mom have both been looking for a product that allows us to reapply suncreen throughout the day without ruining our makeup. She found a bare minerals powder foundation with spf, but I want something like a translucent powder or spray with spf that won't change my makeup at all but would add spf.
There is the Garnier Ambre Solaire Over Makeup Super UV Protection Mist SPF50, I think you can find it in drugstores. I haven't tried it yet, found out about it online. I hope this helps 😊
@@geosephine I used it. I didnt like it at all! it makes your face greasy and the makeup looks even worse after you apply it. I dont even use a lot of make up but my face looks (I only use tinted sunscreen/moisteriser) cakey and greasy after a few sprits :( I heard good things about the La roche posay one tho... I have to try that one out yet
Sad that you felt you could not speak about the products that you liked from this brand after Hyrams review! Takes away from the authenticity of your videos.
Love the love for facial mists. I use them personally as self care to refresh and “restart” my day. I can’t wait to try any you would recommend as a fellow skintellectual. Love your content!
The brand did not disclose having a banned substance in their ingredient list before this. How sure are you that the new line of products do not have banned steroids? Do watch Mad About Skin’s take on this
I’ve recently gone back to using the Seaweed Night Cream & Hylauronic Eye Cream from Mario Badescu and I wish I’d never stopped using them tbh my dry skin LOVES it! Especially the night cream ❤️
Hey hun hope your doing well.. For me this has nothing to do with fragrance but all to do with the damage they did to people through their illegal actions.. The same guy owns it and same team are in place so no matter what they do with their fragrance products they would never get a cent of my money.. They are gutter brand for sure.. Sending you lots of love xx
I think if the company is showing that they are trying to do better, by making cleaner products that is a good sign. People aren’t perfect, but if change is happening for the good, I think the public should recognize that and try and move forward and stop dragging their name through the mud.
I’m 40 now, but the first time I saw a MB spray, it was in my oldest brothers toiletry kit. I think I was a pre-teen or teenager. I personally like Mario’s sprays, will likely check out this fragrance free one but I’m like your co-worker and like to smell nice lol. I just picked up a MB caffeine eye cream this week that I’ve been using. So far so good!
Mario Badescu might have some good products but they legit put steroids in the products without any warning on the label. So maybe there are brands that people just want to hate for no reason, but with this brand, there's a damn good reason!!! There are so many other brands out there that deserve your money and attention. It's a f*** no from me!
@@laurendwyer8445 that’s nice but there never should have been steroids in the first place!!! Steroid withdrawals, even topically, can have long lasting effects! They literally messed with people’s skin for the sake of profit! That’s disgusting! I’m glad they aren’t doing it anymore but the fact they did it in the first place, this brand should cease to exist!
i dont f with them but i got the peptide serum in a sample kit.....and i loved it...i did not want to....but i do...so happy they are trying to change.
I'm still scared after the steroid lawsuit. I don't mind the fragrance and I'm one of those people that actually LOVE rosewater because I think rosewater is beneficial to our skin considering The Royals used it for centuries. But to me it's extremely scary to not disclose the steroids on their face creams. I've never been scared to try a product in my life before. I legit don't trust them still.
I try so hard not to use the drying lotion, but for those deep never coming to a head zits- it’s my guilt pleasure. Although I do try to find alternative brands without talc now
Use the Buffering Lotion for the undergrounders that don’t come to a head. It will dry them out before they come up. Drying lotion is best used on White Head form pimples. Instead of popping, you spot treat.
She’s lowkey getting paid to market Hyram’s skincare line which goes against her morals. Smart move & she’s consistently deleting comments that point that out 👀
Personalmente, la opinión de Hyram no me interesa, pero por lo menos está marca está tratando de adaptarse o mejorar porque saben que se quedaron muuuy atrás en comparación con otras marcas. Aunque no la compraría.
Hyram isn't the only one who trashed this brand and it looks like they have finally jumped on the "clean" beauty train. It's good that brands are offering both fragrance and fragrance-free options to carter to a wider audience. I love a good facial spray but I gravitate to ones that have ceramides, squalane, etc. in them but I do enjoy some of my products to have a nice scent to them.
Hi Cassandra! Have you ever looked at Sephora's skincare line? (their own brand) Would you recommend it?? Or, What are things you would recommend from the Sephora store? Or, What are things you would recommend from the drugstore either in the beauty section or not? (Like Bioderma, La Roche-Posay) Please I'm like overwhelmed by all this stuff and just need some guidance ! I have dry (potentially even dehydrated skin), somewhat sensitive skin, and I just need something that is actually moisturizing.
I'm glad that Hyram managed to effect some posotive change because he does come out with alot of crap, especially about preservatives and hyaluronic acid.
Cassandra, I have a question: if you spray this during the day over your make up, do you get any benefits from the niacinamide and sodium hyaluronate? Since it's going on over make up?
There are a ton of products I would love to buy if only they took out the fragrance. I don't think fragrance is evil. I have sensitive skin and don't want to risk it.
While shopping at Ulta the other day, they gave it a free sample. I had just watched your video on not liking the brand so I was very very curious. I’ve been using it and I do like the spray. They also have a cleanser that’s OK. It does foam, but it’s OK. I use the epicurean foaming cleanser so of course they cannot compare.
I recently ordered a full size Enzyme Cleansing Gel, after using up a travel size. It's perfect for my AM cleanse. Seriously considering ordering the Aloe Moisturizer SPF 15. And, yes, I have all of the sprays depending on my mood. 😛
Everyone’s skin is different. Some might be more sensitive some might not be. I freaking love this spray! It’s great for my skin! I’m personally less sensitive to skin care stuff but I have a clothing sensitivity. This spray just works for my skin and is great. I recommend this spray for sure
I'm not gonna lie but I have a soft spot for the rose scented spray. That being said, my absolute favorite facial spray is the Cosrx Centella Water Toner. It's light weight and hydrating. I use it with Snail Mucin Essence and keeps my skin hydrated during the winter months.
There is one Mario product I can not live without. By itself does it give me great results? No. But please continue reading if you too are sensitive/reactive. I have a hard time keeping even my thick nightly moisturizer on overnight because, well, … I live in a moist wet Seattle climate that makes my products get wet and sluff away down my neck easy. So my last skin care ritual is to spray the “rose water aloe spray” over my product to finish! Works even better than good old petroleum jelly and feels sticky in the most fantastic way. Highly recommend. Extra bonus does not stick to my pillow. How do they do it??? Love love!
Yes! I'm looking for Dr. Dray's opinion about this as well before I purchase. I really just need a hydrating mist to apply my other skincare. I'm will be 45 in a less than 45 days and recently moved to a region with hard water. Needless to say, I need hydration. Was thinking of purchasing a thermal spring water spray but would love and appreciate advice of which one to invest in. P.S. I had my husband install a water filter because my hair and skin can definitely feel the difference hard water has on me.
Typical American thinking and knowledge about Eastern Europe, mixing up countries like Romania and Ukraine :))) The name Badescu itself is a specific Romanian name, and it's written in Latin characters, lol, not cyrillic.
I have LRP Thermal Spring Water Spray. After I cleanse and pat when I get out of the shower and apply 2 things can I mist with it and follow up with my moisturizer? Been working on my dry skin.
I actually really like the Mario badescu rose water facial spray… my skin isn’t very sensitive, and idk if it actually does anything but it sure feels nice! I’ll have to keep an eye out at Ulta for this new one :)
I love it too… it’s a great prep and set for makeup. Hydrating as well, and if you’re not sensitive to dyes or fragrance, then there’s nothing wrong with using it. ❤
In india we used to make her infused hair oils... Different herbs are added in the oil which promotes hair growth and then heated for a while and later strained... Will these actually promote hair growth... Can the herbs can really penetrate the scalp..
His glycolic cleanser and toner are awesome. I had no idea he’s a shady dude but there is some fantastic products for a reasonable price. Should have been a red flag that bad is in his name, but I’ll keep buying as long as he keeps making good products, just will be more selective since you can’t trust what he puts in all his products like you can let’s say Philosophy.👀☠️
Mario died years ago. His company is ran by his business partners family now. I love their products. The company pulled the two products that had a steroid in them in 2014.
@@laurendwyer8445that’s good to hear because I too love the glycolic cleanser. My white head and black heads went away and it leaves my skin looking golden and soft.

I think that's the point, people can use whatever works for them, she just reminds us that "clean" is not a real thing so if that marketing is the only reason you are using a product you might want to recomsider. Being informed helps you make better decisions for ypurself and not spread misinformation.
@@morgianasartre6709 I understand and agreed with the marketing issue but there is definitely an element of mockery from certain youtubers about certain brands and "natural" products.
@@missbeaussie I think the mockery element comes as a reaction to people who are actively spreading misinformation like Gweneth Paltrow who has built an industry on it and brands that use it to sell based on fear, not the regular people who happen to buy into it.
I love the sprays. The fragrance doesn’t bother me, I love it cuz it’s subtle, my skin is moisturised, the sprays are affordable, it helps my skin balance out through the day. I haven’t tried this new spray but if it’s better, cool.
Why not try the COSRX Centella Water Toner? It's in a spray bottle and in my opinion much better than the MB
A friend got me one of those sprays, and it was like spraying perfume on my face. It lingered too, which made my allergies pop up.
I often wonder if it's batch processed, so QC doesn't automatically pick up on variable strengths, as my friend, after I gave it back to her, said that that bottle was stronger than hers in her bathroom.
@@snulsim7245 I would love to, unfortunately I live in Malaysia and the Sephora App doesn’t carry that brand. I would rather not buy it from other intermediaries because I can never know if it’s authentic or a knock off. No complaints on the current Mario sprays tho. I don’t have sensitive skin, it’s combination to oily and I love fragrance ✌️
@@DinkyInky2 omg I’m so sorry that happened to you! I remember I used to have acne and back then my skin would act up as well!!! It takes a while to get your skin back on track after that, I hope you are okay 🙏🏽
I got this in a subscription box and really like it. I knew lots of influencers don’t like the brand, so I came here to find out why. It didn’t realize this was a brand new offering.
I have eczema and their rosewater spray actually helps to stop the flare-up. I remember the skin on my hands was boiling up yet again and flaky, the rosewater spray was within reach - yes I sprayed it on my hands. It worked to calm it. Just wanted to share because with the eczema and having 'eczema-friendly' products cause me flare-ups, I was terrified to have anything on my hands for the longest time. But this spray does work to soothe and hydrate my skin (I can feel it when I close my palms) and it doesn't hurt to try 👍
I’m not a fan of this brand either, but people are too scared of Hyram. He’s not god.
Can you please review all of peach and lily products please 😩
the company is still shady af, not getting my money ever:)
I’ve been using the drying lotion for spots for 30 years. I tried the Kate Somerville one and it’s feels like the EXACT same thing for more money. Their other products have all been “meh” for me. Reasonably priced, but not the luxury experience I look for in my skin care routine.
I think they have different active ingredients but good that you like it
I use the kate smoerville one simply because it's larger lmao
Honestly, Hyrem also needs to innovate a little. His every video is same (fragrance equals bad for 10 minutes), and honestly the whole fragrance is bad is just a pseudo science and nothing more at this point.
I mean allergies aren't psuedo science
@@missbeaussie i didnt say they were. But they are extremely rare.
@@shauni1987 they aren’t though? It’s like in the top 5 reasons people leave work early (I can’t remember exactly off the top of my head but it was a European study)
Best.Bottles.Ever. Every time I've received a free MB fragranced water, I dump it down the drain, wash it, then use the bottle for setting spray. The mist on their bottles is fantastic! But the contents burn my face off..lol
Thanks for the information I am always looking out for good sprayers ❣️
The rosewater one is awesome for prep and set of makeup. But if you’re sensitive to dyes and fragrance you wouldn’t like it naturally…
Hyram doesn’t even listen to hyram thoooo
Honestly after just reading the details of the court case, I'm surprised you gave this product any air time.
You know she got some 💵💵
Please talk about the super goop suncreen spray!! Or other products that are good for reapplying spf throughout the day. Me and my mom have both been looking for a product that allows us to reapply suncreen throughout the day without ruining our makeup. She found a bare minerals powder foundation with spf, but I want something like a translucent powder or spray with spf that won't change my makeup at all but would add spf.
She actually has several videos on this already.
There is the Garnier Ambre Solaire Over Makeup Super UV Protection Mist SPF50, I think you can find it in drugstores. I haven't tried it yet, found out about it online. I hope this helps 😊
@@geosephine I used it. I didnt like it at all! it makes your face greasy and the makeup looks even worse after you apply it. I dont even use a lot of make up but my face looks (I only use tinted sunscreen/moisteriser) cakey and greasy after a few sprits :( I heard good things about the La roche posay one tho... I have to try that one out yet
Don't care for facial sprays. They will get on my hair and make it oily.
They don't usually have oil in them
yes pleas refilm the behind th scenes on MB!
I think they made it for Hyram, we know he loves niacinamide and this would be great for his skin
Sad that you felt you could not speak about the products that you liked from this brand after Hyrams review! Takes away from the authenticity of your videos.
It is just funny that you are all giving Hyram the credit for this. Was never a fan.
Love the love for facial mists. I use them personally as self care to refresh and “restart” my day. I can’t wait to try any you would recommend as a fellow skintellectual. Love your content!
The brand did not disclose having a banned substance in their ingredient list before this. How sure are you that the new line of products do not have banned steroids? Do watch Mad About Skin’s take on this
I’ve recently gone back to using the Seaweed Night Cream & Hylauronic Eye Cream from Mario Badescu and I wish I’d never stopped using them tbh my dry skin LOVES it! Especially the night cream ❤️
Hey hun hope your doing well.. For me this has nothing to do with fragrance but all to do with the damage they did to people through their illegal actions.. The same guy owns it and same team are in place so no matter what they do with their fragrance products they would never get a cent of my money.. They are gutter brand for sure.. Sending you lots of love xx
I think if the company is showing that they are trying to do better, by making cleaner products that is a good sign. People aren’t perfect, but if change is happening for the good, I think the public should recognize that and try and move forward and stop dragging their name through the mud.
Interesting, price point is also on point.
I take hydrating toners & put in a spray bottle... there’s way more options & saves a ton of money.
My family and I have allergies and sensitive skin so we don't use 90% of products. (I have medical problems with my skin, too.)
I’m 40 now, but the first time I saw a MB spray, it was in my oldest brothers toiletry kit. I think I was a pre-teen or teenager. I personally like Mario’s sprays, will likely check out this fragrance free one but I’m like your co-worker and like to smell nice lol. I just picked up a MB caffeine eye cream this week that I’ve been using. So far so good!
Recently ordered this spray and really like it 👍🏼. I can’t stand fragranced skincare!
Mario Badescu might have some good products but they legit put steroids in the products without any warning on the label. So maybe there are brands that people just want to hate for no reason, but with this brand, there's a damn good reason!!! There are so many other brands out there that deserve your money and attention. It's a f*** no from me!
Those products were taken off the shelves in 2014 and no steroids are being used any longer
@@laurendwyer8445 that’s nice but there never should have been steroids in the first place!!! Steroid withdrawals, even topically, can have long lasting effects! They literally messed with people’s skin for the sake of profit! That’s disgusting! I’m glad they aren’t doing it anymore but the fact they did it in the first place, this brand should cease to exist!
i dont f with them but i got the peptide serum in a sample kit.....and i loved it...i did not want to....but i do...so happy they are trying to change.
I enjoyed the video! Thank you
Hello everyone
Geek&Gorgeous are a great 🇪🇺 company with amazing products at great prices . Freshly made Retinal , Vit C and APad .
I'm still scared after the steroid lawsuit. I don't mind the fragrance and I'm one of those people that actually LOVE rosewater because I think rosewater is beneficial to our skin considering The Royals used it for centuries.
But to me it's extremely scary to not disclose the steroids on their face creams. I've never been scared to try a product in my life before. I legit don't trust them still.
They also made a face wash for sensitive skin and fragrance free sis
I love the niod mist! It’s pricy but can last awhile
Interesting.. I didn't know any of the negative back story. I love the cucumber spray moisturizer 🤷♂
Question who came first you or Hiram? Is he a copy cat?
I try so hard not to use the drying lotion, but for those deep never coming to a head zits- it’s my guilt pleasure. Although I do try to find alternative brands without talc now
Use the Buffering Lotion for the undergrounders that don’t come to a head. It will dry them out before they come up. Drying lotion is best used on White Head form pimples. Instead of popping, you spot treat.
She’s lowkey getting paid to market Hyram’s skincare line which goes against her morals.
Smart move & she’s consistently deleting comments that point that out 👀
How is she getting paid?
@@raina5035 i do believe she is getting a commision for standing with Hyram. It doens't feel honest at all.
She 100% is getting paid and I'm pissed off about it. I get that he's her friend or whatever but why is she willing to go against her morals for him?
Personalmente, la opinión de Hyram no me interesa, pero por lo menos está marca está tratando de adaptarse o mejorar porque saben que se quedaron muuuy atrás en comparación con otras marcas. Aunque no la compraría.
Hyram isn't the only one who trashed this brand and it looks like they have finally jumped on the "clean" beauty train.
It's good that brands are offering both fragrance and fragrance-free options to carter to a wider audience.
I love a good facial spray but I gravitate to ones that have ceramides, squalane, etc. in them but I do enjoy some of my products to have a nice scent to them.
Hi Cassandra!
Have you ever looked at Sephora's skincare line? (their own brand) Would you recommend it?? Or,
What are things you would recommend from the Sephora store? Or,
What are things you would recommend from the drugstore either in the beauty section or not? (Like Bioderma, La Roche-Posay)
Please I'm like overwhelmed by all this stuff and just need some guidance !
I have dry (potentially even dehydrated skin), somewhat sensitive skin, and I just need something that is actually moisturizing.
He was from Romania,not Ukraine...
I'm glad that Hyram managed to effect some posotive change because he does come out with alot of crap, especially about preservatives and hyaluronic acid.
Cassandra, I have a question: if you spray this during the day over your make up, do you get any benefits from the niacinamide and sodium hyaluronate? Since it's going on over make up?
Good question
I wanted to know if you use this during the day it must be ok to spray over sunscreen, do you have to re apply sunscreen after?
There are a ton of products I would love to buy if only they took out the fragrance. I don't think fragrance is evil. I have sensitive skin and don't want to risk it.
I LOVE the MB lavender spray. But I don’t necessarily use it on my face? I spray it on before bed to help me relax and sleep. I think it’s wonderful ~
Same! A great pillow/sheet spray
While shopping at Ulta the other day, they gave it a free sample. I had just watched your video on not liking the brand so I was very very curious. I’ve been using it and I do like the spray. They also have a cleanser that’s OK. It does foam, but it’s OK. I use the epicurean foaming cleanser so of course they cannot compare.
I recently ordered a full size Enzyme Cleansing Gel, after using up a travel size. It's perfect for my AM cleanse. Seriously considering ordering the Aloe Moisturizer SPF 15. And, yes, I have all of the sprays depending on my mood. 😛
I use the Peach and LILY face spray and I am in love with it
I use the peach slices one, its owned by the same people! I use the acne control one
But are they steroid-free?
Yup. 🎉
Steroids?????!!!!!!!!! Omg
Everyone’s skin is different. Some might be more sensitive some might not be. I freaking love this spray! It’s great for my skin! I’m personally less sensitive to skin care stuff but I have a clothing sensitivity. This spray just works for my skin and is great. I recommend this spray for sure
I wouldn't credit it to Hyram. That's an old video and the brand has just been falling behind for years.
I'm not gonna lie but I have a soft spot for the rose scented spray. That being said, my absolute favorite facial spray is the Cosrx Centella Water Toner. It's light weight and hydrating. I use it with Snail Mucin Essence and keeps my skin hydrated during the winter months.
The packaging alone is hideous! Mario Badescu looks so extremely dated, like straight outta the 80’s dated.
That’s what I love about it 😂
I love that I’m tired of the new packing
@@karimmarinocastromartinez34 I guess you like the retro look then
Peep the newness..
Is the rose one just as good?
There is one Mario product I can not live without. By itself does it give me great results? No. But please continue reading if you too are sensitive/reactive. I have a hard time keeping even my thick nightly moisturizer on overnight because, well, … I live in a moist wet Seattle climate that makes my products get wet and sluff away down my neck easy. So my last skin care ritual is to spray the “rose water aloe spray” over my product to finish! Works even better than good old petroleum jelly and feels sticky in the most fantastic way. Highly recommend. Extra bonus does not stick to my pillow. How do they do it??? Love love!
I really love using Mario Badescu SA body wash and I also use their glycolic face wash on my body.
Lose the attitude
The drying lotion is basically calamine lotion, so just save your $$ and get calamine.
It’s salicylic, alcohol, silver, zinc and calamine.. the calamine heals the pimple while the clear ingredients start the dry out process.
It ain’t just Hyram. Many skin influencers before have always talked negatively of the brand for the same reason
Yes! I'm looking for Dr. Dray's opinion about this as well before I purchase. I really just need a hydrating mist to apply my other skincare. I'm will be 45 in a less than 45 days and recently moved to a region with hard water. Needless to say, I need hydration. Was thinking of purchasing a thermal spring water spray but would love and appreciate advice of which one to invest in. P.S. I had my husband install a water filter because my hair and skin can definitely feel the difference hard water has on me.
Their enzyme face wash 😍😍
I like hyram but he has made niacinamide so popular that it’s literally in every single product that comes out now and I my skin just can’t stand it 😞
Same
Have you tried their CLARIFYING SERUM WITH AZELAIC ACID?
Typical American thinking and knowledge about Eastern Europe, mixing up countries like Romania and Ukraine :))) The name Badescu itself is a specific Romanian name, and it's written in Latin characters, lol, not cyrillic.
Doris - your eyes are STUNNING!!!
I love the spray and the dry pimple lotion I been using it for years I can't complain for my skin.
I have LRP Thermal Spring Water Spray. After I cleanse and pat when I get out of the shower and apply 2 things can I mist with it and follow up with my moisturizer? Been working on my dry skin.
I use the Superoxide mist from NIOD for AM but this sounds like a good mist for a PM routine or though-out the day
I actually really like the Mario badescu rose water facial spray… my skin isn’t very sensitive, and idk if it actually does anything but it sure feels nice! I’ll have to keep an eye out at Ulta for this new one :)
I love it too… it’s a great prep and set for makeup. Hydrating as well, and if you’re not sensitive to dyes or fragrance, then there’s nothing wrong with using it. ❤
In india we used to make her infused hair oils... Different herbs are added in the oil which promotes hair growth and then heated for a while and later strained... Will these actually promote hair growth... Can the herbs can really penetrate the scalp..
His glycolic cleanser and toner are awesome. I had no idea he’s a shady dude but there is some fantastic products for a reasonable price. Should have been a red flag that bad is in his name, but I’ll keep buying as long as he keeps making good products, just will be more selective since you can’t trust what he puts in all his products like you can let’s say Philosophy.👀☠️
Mario died years ago. His company is ran by his business partners family now. I love their products. The company pulled the two products that had a steroid in them in 2014.
@@laurendwyer8445that’s good to hear because I too love the glycolic cleanser. My white head and black heads went away and it leaves my skin looking golden and soft.
