Mario Badescu Silver Powder Pore Minimizer, Skin Care Facial Pore Cleansing Mask With Kaolin Clay & Zinc Oxide

Great product, takes some getting use to
Update 1/16/2020: so I have tried a couple more times since the original review, changing the 3 stars to 5. It definitely takes some getting used to making the right consistency with the powder and water, but once achieved, it’s pretty awesome from there. I also found out that, the burning sensation is more because I did not apply enough water, once the consistency is right, there’s no burning sensations anymore. One thing I’d say tho, if you end up making the mixture too thick, once it dries on your nose, powders will start coming off and get everywhere, and it’s definitely not fun if you breath that into your nostrils. So far, I think the best way to describe the perfect consistency is watered down milk or rice milk, its not fully milk white, there is some watery colors, and it stays on the skin. Anything too light won’t stay, and anything too thick will dry out and get everywhere.I definitely like the brand, and after reading the reviews I decided to give these powders a try. As mentioned in other reviews, it is way easier to apply with a small makeup brush after mixing the powder with some water. I tried it by the instruction the product gave, and there were excess powders everywhere. Once applied, I definitely felt my pores closing up, there is a “tight” feeling on the skin. However, I also felt mild burning sensation, people say “beauty comes with a cost”, but I’m not sure that would apply in this case, the burning sensation stayed at all regions on my face that had the powdered (nose, but some got smeared onto my cheeks), and it stayed burning for quite some times after I’ve removed the powder. I ended up having to wash my face with cleanser and put on extra witch hazel toner to calm it down. I am not sure if this means I have sensitive skin? I’ve been treating my face as “combination” type for years (oily T zone, dry outside of T zone). Will give this product another try and update.

Works so well in one use
Absolutely amazing for pores and zits. After one use it cleared up my big nose pores and a couple zits I had on my chest. I’m a skin care guru and the things I like are often super expensive- skin medica, dermalogica, etc. This $12 product is amazing

I wish I took a before photo
I have dealt with stubborn blackheads for as long as I can remember. I’m super insecure about my blackheads and large pores especially on my nose. I saw a tiktoker named Kelsey Soles recommend this product (love her) and I saw a slight difference after the first use and then a bigger difference the next and so forth. I thought it would be a miracle fix tbh and would get rid of them immediately but that’s not how it has worked for me but o see a lot of progress and am really glad I bought it. The picture you see, imagine all those pores on my nose (which you now have to zoom to see bc before it was so noticeable) and imagine them bigger and looking just disgusting. My skin is definitely not perfect but this is an amazing product and I have seen amazing results for only using this for about 3 weeks. I recommend opening your pores before using bc I saw more of a difference when I put the face mask on after slightly picking at them (ik that’s a no no it’s just so hard) anyways I recommend this product and it is so worth it 🙂

Me encanto !!! Soy de piel delicada , propensa al acné y para rematar de piel grasa , por lo que soy propensa a los poros súper visibles y puntos negros, compre este producto y algunos otros de esta línea, bajo algunas reservas de que el o los producto no funcionara, me decidí a probarlo y mi sorpresa fue enorme , con un pequeño algodón lo remojé y lo puse dentro del polvo, una vez que puse cantidad suficiente en el algodón lo puse en las zonas complicadas de poros abiertos , lo dejé secar y a los 10 min me enjuague, mi sorpresa fue que efectivamente redujo considerablemente el tamaño de mis poros y dejó la piel tersa!!, este producto lo uso dos veces a la semana ; en efecto cuando se seca empieza a soltar mucho polvo pero sinceramente me da igual , no soy roñosa , vamos me está ayudando a mejorar la apariencia de mis poros !! Cuan complicado es ponerte una bata o cubriré con algo para que no te manche la ropa? .No he encontrado algún otro producto que realmente haga lo que esté producto ha realizado con mis poros ya que actualmente son más pequeños y en algunas zonas ya ni se notan , anteriormente compre un producto que disque hacia lo mismo y lo único que hizo fue generar más grasa en esa zona y taparlos generando granos .Definitivamente este producto es parte de los productos favoritos para cuidado de mi cara , lo seguiré comprando y utilizando , en mi caso me funciono.

Es lo primero que pruebo de la marca y puedo decir que a la primera semana de usarla (2 veces) he notado diferencia en mi rostro y mis poros. Además el brillo si ha disminuido.
