Love this. I use it after my moisturizer at night on my problem spots. It also helps me to not pick at my skin because this conceals the acne at night so I do not look at it... Seems to dry out the problem areas nicely. Although this is very smelly stuff, makes your pillowcases smell, but I have become acclimated to it, so that's fine I guess. Another good thing about this is that it actually adheres to the skin and stays there, unlike some spot treatments I've used that flake off of the skin within a few hours. A+

i know there are no miracle cures for acne, but for something this expensive i'd hoped it'd work better than drugstore products. it's a pink sediment in a lot of alcohol, so i can't apply it too close to my eyes/nose or else the alcohol burns. maybe it keeps zits from getting bigger, but it definitely does not magically shrink them. i'm staying with origins out of trouble mask.

Miracle product! Literally dries up whiteheads overnight, and stops them from emerging if you treat the spot as soon as you feel it coming.

I wasn't expecting this product to work, but it does. I can't say it works on all acne, like deep cysts, but it does work on that stuff that lingers that is close to the surface. It isn't a miracle product that you apply once, and everything miraculously goes away. But, if you have those lingering pimples/zits that stick around for weeks that are closer to the surface but aren't coming to a head, then this product will dry them out with nightly use over about 3 days or so. It does stink and tingle a bit when you put it on, but it is so worth it. This is a spot treatment and not a product to apply on your whole face. I had 2 cysts close to each other, and it got rid of one, and the other is a little smaller. If you shake this up by accident, then just let the contents settle. Dip your q-tip in and then pull it out and dab it on the spots. My spots are all on my chin/jawline area. This is worth a try. And, I spend a lot on skincare, so I don't think it is pricey for something that actually works!

I've tried this and the Mario version, but I prefer Eradikate. Mario's is a bit less expensive, and is almost the same, but I feel like Eradikate just works a bit better for me whenever I get a 'big' pimple or a breakout. A good friend of mine who is very skin and cosmetics savvy reccomended this to me, and she swears by it. It's also packaged well, and lasts a long time, so the price makes it worth the product.

Excellent! I apply this every night to at least some portion of my face. It makes me feel better to not look at the problem areas on my skin even at night, so this is nice to cover them up! haha. But as far as effectiveness, if you catch a pimple RIGHT when it's starting, and I mean within hours that you can feel it, then this is really effective. But if you use it on a large one that is already there, its so so. I mean sure it'll dry it out a bit, but It doesn't really do so any faster than anything else. But I still use it, because it definitely helps clear up new and existing acne.
One thing I do no like is that if you apply it as directed, with a q-tip simply dotting the area, it will flake off... you need to actually massage in the area a little bit so the product will adhere to the skin... other than that...Great product. It smells bad, yes... so what. At least she doesn't load her stuff with perfume.

I can't tolerate benzoyl peroxide, and sulfur-based acne products give me similar antibacterial results. I bought Eradikate because it contains sulfur, and quite a bit of it. I was expecting a total miracle product, based on reviews I'd read. Eradikate works well on my average, everyday zits, but not as well on the occasional deep cystic zit. Then again, I haven't found much that works on the cystic buggers, so I can't really hold that against the Eradikate.
Yes, it's smelly and stings like the dickens. Yes, it's unattractive on the face. Yes it's a bit odd application-wise. All that said, the results are well worth the bother for me. So far it seems to be pretty cost effective, especially since I bought it on sale for 20% off.

I bought this from Sephora as part of a kit and absolutely adore it. Sulfur is truly a miracle worker when it comes to breakouts and this stuff dries up breakouts in no time flat. I apply a dab to any problem area(s) before bed. The only problem is that sometimes the product doesn't stay on all night. I guess my pillow rubs it off. That probably has more to do with my wild sleeping habits than the product though. ;) I'd absolutely repurchase this over and over again.

HG Acne elimination product!!! This stuff is amazing!! Sulfur is so so unbelievably good at clearing up acne. I don't find that it smells at all as bad as some people have been saying. I have purchased this product 5 times already, and will continue to do so. It's just that amazingly effective. I don't break out a lot, only when I get my period. But even a few pimples suck!! This product literally eliminates them for me overnight! I will never be without this. And its not the end of the world if it gets shaken up, just let it sit and it will settle right back to where it needs to be.

NC25 Chinese, acne prone, early 30s.
Completely excited about this product to help w/ my minimal but regular small acne breakouts. I especially loved the Asian granny smell! :)
Will have to agree w/ 7/2011 reviewer. Each day no significant effect on current acne, but I started developing cystic acne in 4 days which is a rare occurance since Accutane 5 years ago. Immediately stopped, no more new cystic acne so did find the root cause.

Smells terrible but really good overnight zit zapper. Cuz of the smell I don't use it everyday, especially on the old deep cystic acne but works great on whiteheads that pop up now and then. It definitely works faster than my other acne treatments such as Differin, la roche posay effaclar k, and bare minerals blemish treatment powder.

This is honestly the best spot treatment I've ever used, and I have tried many others (both ds and he). I don't get a lot of breakouts since my derm put me on a daily regimen of Clindamycin lotion and Differin gel. However, every once in a while, a zit still manages to sneak through, and this stuff is a godsend. It helps make my breakouts go away much quicker, which also helps prevent scarring, and it doesn't dry out my skin.
I must warn, however, that it's a bit unsightly upon application (looks similar to Calomine lotion). It also does not have a pleasant smell, due to sulfur being one of the main ingredients. The price is a bit steep for such a small bottle, but I will say that it goes a long way. I've had mine for about 6mos, and it is just now starting to get low. I definitely plan on repurchasing when it runs out!

This is a useless product. Here's a complicated description for the two horrible things it did for me. LOL~
1) For the small pimple or whitehead, EradiKate does stop it from getting any bigger but that also means that it hardens into a bump. The bump doesn't go away or get smaller until you're forced to use a pin to pop it - and that defeats the purpose of using this product in the first place! Also, sometimes I found that this can irritate pimples that would have disappeared after a few days. I once used this on a tiny pimple I knew would go away if I left it alone, but I thought this would do the job faster - and to my dismay, it just caused the bump to swell.

2) EradiKate does pretty much the same thing for the bigger pimple too, only worse. It's like the product pushes the "puss" down further into the skin, and hardens the layer of skin over the puss so that you're left with a very, very painful bump that won't budge unless you do something about it. The worst part is that not even using a pin will allow the puss to drain! Like I said, it's like there's hard skin over the puss that you're trying to get to, but it's really hard to reach it. It took me several days of poking, squeezing, and using hot water to soften the pimple enough to finally pop it. Now, I'm left with a huge, gross-looking scab that will probably take months to heal.

This product made me want to cry. It's better to use a drugstore spot treatment like Clearasil, or simply leave your pimples alone.

I hope my skin doesn't get immuned to the product and lose it's effectiveness. so far, it's worked really really good. i have very good skin but the occasional breakout does happen a couple weeks before the period, and some of those pimples are quite painful since they're hidden beneath the skin. i have always had to wait till the pimple forms on top of the skin and then extract it which then leaves a horrible inflamed bump that looks unattractive. however, when i start using this right when i feel the bump forming, it clears the next day. i was really surprised that the redness and bump was gone. i usually put it on for 2 days just so it kills the bacteria or else it might come up again. it doesn't really dry my skin too much, but i can see after 2 days of putting it on, there is slight dryness starting to form so that's when i stop for a day or 2 and continue if necessary. if you have the occasional breakouts, i highly suggest trying it.

This is the best spot treatment I've ever used, but you can only use it at night because it shows up bright pink and flaky.

after getting a horrible cyst from a stupid perricone eye cream i went to sephora to look for something to annihilate this sucker. while i didnt find something to annihilate, i did find something to ERADIKATE. haha. this shrinks any type of pimple over night. some may take longer than others but this a huge help. after two days my cyst it almost gone. if i hadnt used this it might have been there about 3 weeks. doesnt dry me out either which is good. also helps with blackheads too!

Finally found out Kate is definitely against animal testing....she warns against it...therefore, I would think her own products are not tested on animals. I will probably try this then, since it has SO many rave reviews.

This stuff is wonderful. I have tried several products that claim to reduce acne, but this stuff really works. Even my husband, who occasionally will get a pimple and ask me for whatever current acne spot treatment I am using, has been raving about the product after one night of use. My only qualm is that the stuff runs out quickly for me (it becomes too thick in consistancy) and I have to repurchase every month or so. That being said, I do have very acne prone skin I use it daily. Regardless, it is well worth the money!
