So Mario Badescu's Drying Lotion costs €18.00 for 1 oz, which is kind of the entry price for spot treatments that actually work. The ingredient list is straightforward, I guess. Salicylic acid and sulfur do their job, zinc oxide soaks up oil... it's fine. The Allure award from 2020 means people weren't making it up, which matters. Here's the thing though. You're paying for a small bottle that gets used sparingly, so cost-per-use probably isn't terrible. But if you're hitting blemishes regularly, you'll burn through 1 oz faster than you think. At this price point you're not exactly overpaying for Mario Badescu's name either, which I don't know... they've earned some quiet respect in the skincare budget tier. One caveat: spot treatments work best when you actually use them consistently at night, and most people don't. The product isn't the problem there. If you're disciplined about it, €18.00 lands fine for something with proven traction. Just don't expect it to solve everything.
