So, I've tried a few MB products based on the rave review in this forum. So far, I'm happy, but I do have a few questions.

First, what is the difference between the drying cream and drying lotion?

Second, what is a good cleanser to use for combo skin that is prone to breakouts?

Ooh sorry I missed this Chuggie.

The drying lotion is for white heads. It dries them up overnight.

The drying cream is good for the little bumps on your skin that are not white heads and aren't really red and cystic either.

If you have red cystic acne, the buffering lotion works great.

I tend to use both the buffering lotion and the drying lotion. I put the drying lotion on top of the buffering lotion and I get great results.

I think a good cleanser for you would be the acne facial cleanser or the foaming glycolic cleanser. Both are good for oily skin and will help prevent any acne.

I hope that helps. Have your tried any of the products yet?

Does anyone have any MB promo codes? I really want to try the drying lotion, drying cream and the buffering lotion.

I use the drying and buffering together now, on any kind of blemish.

I used the line @ the beginning of the year, and I only liked their drying lotion. I like the smell of their mask, but don't use it as much and still have it lying around.

So I read the whole thread, just waiting for someone to mention the Silver Powder, which I've had my eye on since reading about it on a different thread.

Has anyone used it? Got any reviews/thoughts on it? I heard the silver was supposed to bind to blackheads and lift them out, better than pore strips and all that crap. Yes? No? I'm dying to know if it works!

I'm using the samples that I got after filling out the questionaire for about a week now and I like it so far. I like the enzyme cleaner but not sure if I love it yet. I do love the special cucumber lotion, it just makes my skin feel fab. I also love the hydraulic eye cream and collagen moisturizer. I've noticed that I don't feel like I have to put moisturizer on as soon as I washed my face as I used to feel like b/c it was dry and tight. The seaweed night cream is also sweet.

MissTiss · Jul 28th, 2008, 02:55 PM

I just ordered drying cream and cuticle cream.

Can't wait to try them.

I'm excited especially to see how the drying cream helps the little bumpys on my face.

Me too! Those two products together will tackle ANY blemish or pimple!

I was wondering about the Silver Powder also! It looked interesting, but I don't know anyone who has tried it.

The silver powder is one of the few MB products that I have not tried, so unfortunately I am not much help.

I would love to know how it works too.

I hope that someone gets it and posts about what they think.

Hi there :) I'm 14 and I use the drying lotion and buffering lotion. I'm not using any cleansers yet, but I think I want to try one of them after I'm done with my shiseido.

angelisa360 · Aug 2nd, 2008, 03:54 AM

anyone know of a good MB product to get the red out of blemishes or to reduce scarring, etc?
