Kate SomervilleEradiKate Acne Treatment - Clinically Formulated 10% Sulfur and BHA Spot Treatment – Clears Pimples, Cleans Pores and Prevents Breakouts, 1 Fl Oz

This product is AMAZING! I have struggled with occasional breakouts my whole life. I am in my fifties and still have the occasional pop-up. I started using this product and was blown away by the results. I applied this to a few spots I had, and within two days, they were gone. Once I used the redness and soreness was gone within a few hours. I will be buying more of this product!

So sad Sephora is no longer carrying this product in store or even I think online. But works great on me and my husbands occasional pimplets. Really dries them out and help suck the ick out.

Burns a little when you first put it on, but it works great!

Well this zit was huge and poking out bad. It did completely make my zit go down but it also burnt my skin and now it’s very dry and left a huge circle!So with that being said, I will continue to use but I will make sure next time that I just dob the zit and not a huge area and I also won’t leave on all night again! If it wasn’t for that though! This stuff does work. It burns a tad on popped zits but not horrible and goes away when dry. I’m getting horrible hormonal acne after not having acne my entire life and I’m trying to make a change to get a hold on it.

WHAT I THINK: I love this product. EradiKate is a great quick-fix that I apply anytime a zit sneaks up on me. I see a near immediate reduction in redness and inflammation blemishes after use. I have combination skin with dry/sensitive cheeks and balanced skin on my t-zone. Hormonal acne will pop up on my chin from time to time, but otherwise my skin stays clear. I do find the product slightly drying, as is expected with any acne spot treatment that includes sulfur and salicylic acid, so I follow up the treatment with my CeraVe moisturizing cream to rejuvenate the skin.HOW I USE IT: Using a clean q-tip, dip through the clear liquid (isopropyl alcohol to prevent the pink sediment from drying) and dot the pink sediment from the bottom of the bottle on any problem spots. Let the product dry (15min or overnight) and wash off using a gentle cleanser with soft, circular motions. The EradiKate label suggests use up to three times a day, but because it is drying for my skin I limit use to one application per day.Pro tip - If you find that the layer of isopropyl alcohol is evaporating faster than you can use the pink sediment, I've read that adding additional isopropyl alcohol can extend the lifetime of the product. My first bottle lasted me just over a year without drying out.ADDITIONAL USES: My mom had an irritating boil on her thigh. She treated the boil for four days with EradiKate and it completely went away. After her first day of use the pain associated with the boil went away. I have applied the treatment to my sister's bacne and noted reduction in redness and inflammation similar to when I use the product on facial blemishes.COMPARISON: A lot of information online compares the EradiKate spot treatment ($26) to the Mario Badescu drying lotion ($17), and after trying both I personally prefer the EradiKate formula even after considering the $9 difference in cost. The Mario Badescu product is more gentle (attributable to the lower concentration of sulfur and inclusion of calamine lotion), BUT I prefer the higher intensity and higher concentration of sulfur in the EradiKate product to quickly reduce visibility and presence of blemishes.Kate Somerville EradiKate Spot Treatment Ingredients: ACTIVE INGREDIENT: Sulfur 10.0% INACTIVE INGREDIENTS: Isopropyl Alcohol, Water/Aqua/Eau, Camphor, Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, Salicylic Acid, Iron Oxides (CI 77489, CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499), Zinc Oxide (CI 77947)Mario Badescu Drying Lotion Ingredients: Isopropyl Alcohol,Aqua (Water,Eau), Calamine, Camphor,Sulfur, Zinc Oxide, Titanium Dioxide, Talc,Glycerin, Salicylic Acid(both ingredient lists are taken directly from the respective brand's website)I have purchased the EradiKate spot treatment twice now at full price, and all opinions expressed are truthful and 100% my own.

After coming off of birth control (which I'd been on for 15+ years), I began struggling with acne for the first time in my life. I'm not talking about a few breakouts, which are frustrating in their own right. I'm talking about full blown acne, all across my forehead, my jawline, my neck, and my chest. I knew it would take a while for my hormone levels to even out and my skin to go back to normal, but after two months of this acne, I was feeling pretty low. I didn't want to even leave my house to get the mail - I just felt so self-conscious.I can't say how well this treatment works long term yet, because I only just started using it. No, it did not eliminate all of my acne overnight, but the difference it made was immediately noticeable the next day. My pimples were smaller, and some of them had come to a head, a sure sign that this treatment was fighting them. My chest acne was nearly gone, which made me cry of sheer happiness. I still have raised acne and it didn't help much with discoloration (but I'm extremely pale and was not expecting a miracle), however it's the first treatment that has actually made any difference. I've tried everything - washing my face with oatmeal and honey, charcoal cleansers, and oil cleansing. I've also used spot treatments including one from Origins and a tea tree spot treatment for Lush. No change in over a month.Now, I'm oil cleansing twice a week, using a skin cleanser fro Lush (Aqua Marina, I believe), and a tea tree toner sparingly (I have DRY skin), and then applying this treatment. I do use moisturizer and sometimes oil as moisturizer, but this has not seemed to help or hurt. I can write back to let you guys know how long it takes for my skin to clear with this, to give any acne sufferers out there some realistic expectations.Please keep in mind, I know my acne is hormonal, but it hasn't budged in months. If your acne isn't hormonal or stress-related, I can't claim this will work. Many of the cleansers/treatments I tried were rumored to be HOLY GRAIL treatments and they did absolutely nothing. Everyone's skin is different, but if you've tried everything else, give this a shot.

So if you've ever been to Yellowstone Park and seen the geysers, you know the smell I'm talking about. My boyfriend complains every time I have this stuff on my face lol. I haven't seen results yet, but the smell is super pungent.

Love it!
