This award-winning lotion is more than just your average spot treatment. It dries up pimples OVERNIGHT, eliminating any annoying redness or pain. It gets its magical acne-healing powers from salicylic acid, sulfur, and zinc oxide, which work together to draw impurities from the skin and target pimples. These ingredients all come dermatologist-recommended, making Mario Badescu’s Drying Lotion one of the best for acne.

 

“Sulfur is a great anti-inflammatory ingredient to look out for, coming in masks, cleansers and lotions,” Dr. Kally Papantoniou, MD, FAAD, tells Bustle. “Salicylic acid, which helps exfoliate and open pores, is an anti-inflammatory and has antibacterial properties. It’s a great over-the-counter ingredient to look for, as it is a work horse for acne.”
