Mario Badescu Cucumber Cleansing Lotion (Oil/Shine Control)

Mario Badescu Cucumber Cleansing Lotion is an 8 oz (237 ml) toner focused on oil and shine control for oily and combination skin. It works as a clarifying step after cleansing, lifting the residual oil and debris that a cleanser leaves behind and helping to tighten the look of enlarged pores — which is why oily skin often still feels congested after washing alone. The distinguishing feature is cucumber extract, which soothes and calms while the formula degreases, so the shine control does not come at the cost of an irritated, stripped face, as it does with harsher astringents. Used consistently, skin looks clearer and matte for longer through the day and stays less congested. Best suited to oily, combination and blemish-prone skin rather than dry or sensitive types. Apply to a cotton pad and sweep over clean skin, avoiding the eye area, then follow with a light non-comedogenic moisturiser. Also useful on the chest and back, or as a targeted treatment on oily areas.
