How long do you leave EradiKate on?

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.

Ok for spot treatment but no prevention I normally don't write reviews - everyone says that - but for the cost of this product, I think you can do much better. My friend brought this with her from the States when she came to visit me (I am in New Zealand). At first I liked it quite a bit.

katelyns

Amazing. First off, I absolutely never take the time to write reviews on anything, but this stuff has worked so well for me, I thought it was worth it.

foshizzledenizzle

life changing stuff. this is a GAME CHANGER. i have used it on every single pimple for one year and whilst it doesn't prevent them from appearing (hormonal acne), it certainly helps in their disappearance! I will put a small amount on each pimple and leave it overnight.

Great for small pimples I purchased this product about a month ago. I use it for small red marks. l dip a qtip into the bottle and spot treat overnight. After about 3 nights the pimple is gone! It's so great! The best part about this product is it does not dry out my face. My only complaint is that it's pink and stands out against my skin.

Not worth the money This didn't clear up my acne and it wasn't worth $24. A friend of mine, however, swears by it. Everybody's skin is different I guess. I just didn't work for me.
