The Mario Badescu Acne Repair Kit is supposed to be a more powerful form of their original Acne Control Kit. They claim it can clear whiteheads overnight, conceal blemishes, heal blemishes, and fight even the worst acne. It uses a drying lotion, a drying cream, and a buffering lotion. So it seems that their main objective is to dry out the skin and reduce sebum production, killing acne that way. Accutane uses that approach, as do many products using benzyl peroxide. So it is not particularly surprising.
However, this could result in redness, peeling, irritation, and many of the other problems associated with benzyl peroxide. They do not tell you which ingredients they use. But we suspect the major ingredient to be benzyl peroxide. They claim it to be appropriate for all skin types. But the reality is, with drying properties, it means that it is certainly not appropriate for dry skin types or sensitive skin types. It is good to reduce oil production. But then again, it is good to kill bacteria inside the pores.
The Mario Badescu Acne Repair Kit has no valid acne fighting ingredients so far as we can tell. If they use benzyl peroxide, so does everybody else. But we cannot even verify that, being that they refuse to essentially speaking, help themselves. Or maybe they are helping themselves by hiding all the details.
