What Sephora says

What this product is supposed to do

Developed for acne-prone skin, our daily foaming cleanser with 3% Sulfur is clinically formulated to help combat blackheads, sebaceous filaments, and pimples while preventing new breakouts.

OilyPoresAcne/BlemishesOiliness

Use twice a day, AM and PM. Apply a small amount to wet face and massage gently for 30 seconds. Rinse and gently pat dry.

Pro tip: Our EradiKate Sulfur Cleanser doubles as a mask! Reduce zits, sebaceous filaments and enlarged pores fast by applying a generous layer to your nose and t-zone and let sit for a few minutes before washing off.

What Glass adds

What actually matters before you buy it

A good choice for oily and acne-prone skin types looking for a dedicated cleanser to manage breakouts. The sulfur concentration is effective, and the dual-use as a mask adds versatility. Ensure your skin can tolerate daily sulfur use; if not, consider alternating with a gentler cleanser.

Breakout control

Users frequently mention a reduction in pimples and blackheads after consistent use. The sulfur is often cited as the key ingredient for these results.

Oil management

Many reviews highlight how well this cleanser controls oiliness throughout the day, leaving skin feeling clean and matte.

How to use it best

Why it works

Where it earns the slot and where it does not

  • Contains soothing botanical extracts
  • Addresses oiliness and visible pores

Where it starts to feel redundant
