“EradiKate Daily Foaming Cleanser by Kate Somerville”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cetearyl alcohol, coco-glucoside, hexylene glycol, sodium cocoyl isethionate, stearyl alcohol, xanthan gum) and should be able to cleanse the skin gently. Still keep in mind that any cleansing can disrupt the skin barrier, and most people do not need to cleanse their skin more than once per day.
Even though this formulation is mild, the following cleansing agents could trigger an irritation or allergy for some people: coco-glucoside
Anti-blemishSulfurWorks well
“EradiKate 3% Sulfur Daily Foaming Cleanser is a clinical-strength acne cleanser developed for acne-prone skin, formulated to help combat blackheads, sebaceous filaments, and acne while preventing new breakouts.”
This product can help reduce breakouts and clogged pores because it contains the following ingredient: sulfur. This ingredient is used for treating acne and can have a noticeable effect.
ExfoliationNo ingredient credited for this claimNot delivered
“3% sulphur reduces the appearance of existing blemishes while helping to prevent future breakouts, gently exfoliating dead skin cells and unclogging pores without stripping skin or disrupting its delicate balance.”
This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.
