I had high hopes for the Mario Badescu range and ordered a 3 step system and a targeted solution. I got the glycolic acid foaming cleanser, the glycolic acid toner, the oil free moisturiser and the buffering lotion. I liked the cleanser and the toner but the other two not so much. The moisturiser is very thick and it does feel quite greasy even though it is oil free. A little does go a long way but even when using it sparingly it feels greasy. The resulting effect is quite tacky so it is good for using under makeup for longevity but I just didn’t get on with it. It was kind of like putting sudocream on my face. I now only use it as a night cream and use something lighter in the daytime.
