T1Overnight blemish
Mario Badescu Drying Lotion

The problem
A surface pimple shows up the night before you need your skin to look settled — and a full-face acid routine is too much.
Why it made the verdict
The two-phase calamine, sulfur, and salicylic formula is a targeted overnight spot, not a leave-on toner. Shake, dab, sleep. It earns the verdict because it treats one angry spot without blowing up the rest of the face.
Our verdict
Keep it for the single blemish you can see in the mirror. Do not slather it like a moisturizer. If the next morning looks flatter and less red, that is the job it was hired for.
