EradiKate® Acne Treatment

Pretend you have whisked this up in professor snape's potions class at hogwarts and maybe you won't be so revolted. At first application it smells of musty towel dipped in nail polish remover. When you wash it off in the shower the next morning it will fill your bathroom with the heavenly aroma of low tide. Except all your emerging pimples will be gone. Worth it.

I have pretty good skin, I really only get a spot around monthly cycles but I do think this spot treatment helped eliminate some redness when worn overnight. Clearly you look goofy with a pepto bismol pink spot on your face so it certainly isn't cute but I do think it helped. I will say I do not care for the bottle. It's hard not to feel inclined to shake something that looks like its broken up in the bottle but the bottle says do not shake. Besides that, there is no applicator. I have to use a Q-tip and it isn't quite long enough to get to the bottom which is where the directions say you are supposed to get to before applying. I think that lack of a long dropper or wand applicator is a fatal flaw in this design...it makes it messy and wastes product.

I was a bit skeptical despite all the positive reviews, but after one use, I'm a true blue believer! I originally bought EradiKate to treat my husband's back acne which it did with great success, so it earned 5 stars right there. But I wasn't done with it yet. I have rosacea and get bumps under my skin that never actually come to a head and very frustrating to deal with. Nothing I've used has ever been effective on them. So, I decided to try the EradiKate. Lo and behold, after one night of about 6 pink dots scattered across my face, half of the bumps were virtually gone, completely level with the rest of my skin and the redness in them was significantly decreased. After a second night, they were all gone, level with my skin and the first set were invisible except for the pink of the formula on my skin...there was nothing underneath but perfectly normal skin. After night three, my skin is back to its beautiful, normal self again, no bumps or lumps, no sign of discoloration from the bumps themselves, nothing. Granted I still have discoloration from age and sun (limited thanks to great skin genes and lavish use of sunscreen over the decades), but that too is fading thanks to the use of other Kate Sommerville products. As for EradiKate, I can't sing it's praises high enough! This is an amazing product that really works and did so without drying out my already dry, sensitive skin, and as such, will always find a place on our bathroom counter!!

I use this treatment as well as the KS Anti-Bac Clearing lotion. The lotion is great for maintaining smooth skin, but when I need stronger, more targeted treatment, the EradiKate is great. I can apply it to a pimple before bed, and when I wake up the pimple is usually history.

Mario Badescue's drying lotion, same formulation/ingredients, costs $18 for the same volume and you can choose a glass or non-breakable plastic bottle (useful for those that travel frequently). And Mario Badescue is frequently on sale at Ulta.

Borrowed some of this stuff from my sister - had to buy my own. No acne cream gets rid of all pimples on the spot, unfortunately. However, this is the best product that I have found for quickly reducing the size and redness of pimples. The treatment is sort of a goop that goes on like a muddy cream. It is easy to apply with a Q-tip. A little goes a long way and can be applied to a specific zit or a larger area. The stuff dries pretty quickly on your skin so none of it gets on your pillow if you use overnight. There is a slight sulfur smell, so be wary of that bothers you. I have never really bothered a slight sulfur smell and will certainly put up with it for the major this stuff works. It's a tad drying so I wouldn't overdo the application if you have dry skin. I have combination skin and I just add moisturizer in the morning after use. The dryness never gets to the point of looking red, flaky, or anything like that and with just a little lotion love I can wear this daily without problems.

Purchased the EradiKate base on the reviews, my cystic acne didn't get any better! Acne still have inflammation, same size. Useless.

We tried everything for my teen’s cystic acne. None of the topicals the dermatologist gave us worked. Some of them made it worse and dried her skin out. However, her skin loves this stuff. Nothing has worked so well! It has made all the difference. The only thing is that you really have to keep after it and not skip a day or stop. Now that her face and neck are clear, we are starting to try it on body acne. It looks like it will stain clothing, but it doesn’t. We put it on at night, and her face looks great in the morning. We highly recommend.

Had a stubborn area that wouldn’t go away and I was desperate to try anything. This great for spot treatment. Agree with other comments about the smell, but it works!

So far it’s going really well! You definitely do have to follow the directions and use 2-3 times a day, but if you use it before bed, you’ll notice a difference in the morning. Doesn’t try out your skin and the color is easy to blend with skin tone or put makeup on top of

I bought this for my teenage daughters and they use this religiously as part of their skin care routine. This has made a huge difference with their acne. I would recommend this product!

When aunt flow visits, mayhem follows. Bought this today and immediate results. Love it!
