Kylie Jenner uses Mario Badescu Drying Lotion when she breaks out. She told Snapchat followers it is the drying lotion she loves for pimples, as reported in OK! Magazine's 2016 Snapchat coverage. Drying Lotion is a dual-phase liquid with settled pink sediment. Sephora's product directions say to dab it directly onto surface pimples at bedtime after cleansing and toning.

How Does She Apply It?
Jenner dips a Q-tip into the bottle without shaking it. Brit + Co described this no-shake dip as her method for whiteheads.
The cotton tip picks up pink sediment, not clear liquid. To copy the routine: Do not shake the bottle or spread lotion across the face. It works as a targeted night-time dab.
- Cleanse and tone skin.
- Dip a clean Q-tip into the sediment without shaking.
- Dab onto the whitehead at bedtime and leave overnight.
What Does the Pink Lotion Contain?
Key ingredients are salicylic acid, calamine, and sulfur, according to MECCA's ingredient listing. Salicylic acid exfoliates inside pores and removes oil. Calamine soothes redness and inflammation.
Sulfur draws out impurities and absorbs oil. Together the trio targets oil and redness in one surface spot. It is a spot treatment, not an allover mask.
Why Does It Suit Inflamed Spots?
Dermatologist commentary cited by Total Beauty's acne-treatment review says salicylic acid opens pores and reduces inflammation. The same review notes calamine and zinc oxide soothe inflamed acne.
That combination supports use on red, inflamed whiteheads. It dries the individual spot overnight. It does not treat deep lumps under the skin.
What About Cost and Wider Breakouts?
The pick costs about $17 at Ulta and Amazon, Brit + Co reported. Huda Beauty reported the cult product sold out after Jenner shared it on Snapchat. For broader breakouts, Jenner's Kylie Skin later added a Clarifying Collection, V Magazine reported.
The line centers on salicylic-acid cleanser, toner, gel-cream, and facial oil to purify pores and address pimples. Reporting describes overnight drying of individual whiteheads only. For severe, cystic, or persistent acne, see a clinician. Use the lotion as a targeted night-time dab plus gentle cleansing.
