Even celebs like Jennifer Aniston aren’t immune to a surprise breakout. Whether she’s on set filming The Morning Show or walking a red carpet, she needs her skin camera-ready at all times. But when a pimple pops up (because of course it does), Aniston doesn’t reach for a high-tech, six-step system. She turns to a cult classic that’s been zapping zits since the ‘60s — and it’s currently 15% off on Amazon.
“First I roll my eyes and get annoyed,” she told Elle, describing her reaction to an unexpected zit. “And usually I will put some sort of a drying lotion on. I don’t pick it, although I used to. Mario Badescu has a great drying lotion that I used for years and years. I had a facial there in like 1995 and I’ve been using it ever since.”
The Mario Badescu Drying Lotion is a fast-acting treatment that is a triple threat for shrinking pimples without wrecking the skin barrier. The pink sediment in the bottle is what does the heavy lifting: it draws out excess oil, unclogs pores and visibly flattens blemishes overnight. And thousands of Amazon shoppers swear by the old-school spot treatment.

One reviewer raved, “I rarely ever get pimples but every once in a while when I do, they seem to last forever… I had 1 very large pimple and 2 tiny ones — when I used this they were all gone by the time I woke up. ” Another long-time fan wrote, “I’ve been using the Mario Badescu Drying Lotion for years, and it never fails me! Anytime I feel a pimple coming up, I dab a little on before bed, and by morning, it’s either gone or significantly reduced.”
Even shoppers with hormonal acne swear by it. “I’ve had cystic/hormonal acne since I had my son two years ago… The results literally floored me,” one said. “I wanted to submit this review on day 3 but I wanted to give it some time to see how effective it really was.”
Tired of spending a fortune on acne treatments that overpromise and underdeliver? Consider taking a page from Jennifer Aniston’s playbook. Sometimes the old-school formulas really do work — and this one happens to be a celeb favorite with a discount.
