20 Best Acne Wash For Oily Skin (2023 Updated)

Finally found the perfect cleanser for my face and skin type. I’ve already noticed a huge difference in overall oil reduction, texture, and clogged pores, so I’m pleased. I have combo oily/dry skin on my face, so some areas over produce oil and some areas are drier than a desert.

But a couple of things I noticed about this cleanser is it works really well to unclog the oily areas and keep them moisturized a bit. After about 4 days, I did notice the salicylic acid starting to work and my face was flaking off, but that’s what it’s supposed to do.

So I added some Jergens Ultra Healing lotion to my routine and WOW it’s effective. The dry parts of my face are moist, the oily parts are moist but not oily. Would recommend.

My husband is actually 40 something year old man. He doesn’t use any fancy skincare. He only uses facial foam. He has been using this product for years and it works well on his face. He really likes this product.

He always uses it when he is in the shower and after the gym. He also likes traveling and wherever he goes and whatever the climate is, this facial foam still works well with his skin. His skin becomes smooth after using this product and his skin is fine with the salicylic acid in this product.

I am not worried about him using this product since it’s dermatologist tested, cruelty-free, and vegan friendly.

This was my go to for quite some time. The charcoal works so well to clear up any acne or pimples and to prevent them. It’s not harsh or over drying. My skin is on the sensitive side and can get dried out rally easily.

The bottle and pump is one kid those small but great features that often gets overlooked. It cuts out this little bit of time and frustration that may have made you reach your limit. Just a simple little minor thing that helps start your day off on the right foot.

Like I said it was my go to for several years and the only face wash I really sized. The only reason I switched was because pregnancy and baby completely changed my skin type as well as the products that it likes.

I was using a Clean & Clear face wash for years that worked fabulously, but they recently discontinued it. I tried a new version that left residue on my face, and I have an oily complexion so that was a no-go.

Then I tried a different brand and it stinks. Plus, acne came back (I’m 41 and haven’t had acne in 20 years). This face wash, though, is interesting. Some reviews say it burns and it does have menthol in it (I have sensitive skin and didn’t have any issues with that).

It doesn’t reduce oil throughout the day, but it does seem to get all the oil off when washing and does not leave a residue so it’s already better than the last 2 I’ve tried. It may be a bit too good for my skin type for every day use but I can work with that.

Anyone that struggles with acne knows how beneficial tea tree oil is. I love washing with this cleanser. It is very gentle on sensitive skin you feel so nice and clean after using it. I first bought it as a face cleanser but since the bottle is so big I now use it in the shower as well.

I feel like I am taking the best care of my skin and body while washing with this. Before I used body washing like dove and it always felt like it left a residue and was mostly just perfumed based. With this, I feel not only am I really cleaning my body but I am putting the best ingredients on my skin to heal and protect it.

Great price for the size, lasts about 2-3 months. Highly recommend!.

I’ve been using this cleanser for a few months now and it really has helped put my oil in check. My skin is far less oily without being too dry and also helps with acne. It feels silky smooth, smells great and leaves my face feeling refreshed! The bottle has also lasted me at least 6 months with every day use.

I have acne on my face and body and I feel like I haven’t been able to find a product that really feels like it is cleaning my skin that doesn’t have harsh ingredients but the face that it also is helping to reduce my acne is amazing.

After the first shower I was able to see that my acne seemed less irritated. I am a believer, highly recommend!.

Review for Black skin!! Specifying because it’s frustrating when you can’t tell if the review is for black or brown skin. I switched from the Creamy Cleanser to the Oily/Problem Facial Wash once I found out I had oily skin (see below) And it’s works very well.

All of the shininess on my face went away compared to the Creamy Cleanser, but my skin is still clear. Sometimes during the day, but nose specifically will still get a bit oily, but this could be because I’m using this with the Hydrating Toner.

The rest of my face is great though, so I’m not switching anytime soon and just use blotting papers if I want the shine to go away, but still no breakouts on my nose. My Black Skin PCA Journey: I’ve been on a PCA journey for a few months now and although pricey, it’s been worth every penny for me.

I’ve never had super bad acne problems, but even when using a hydrating cleanser, alcohol free toner, and moisturizer from over the counter, I always often had breakouts and dry flaky skin to the point where at times, I would carry around my face moisturizer with me.

So I always assumed I had dry skin. So when I started using the PCA line, I bought products for dry skin. WOW. My skin was glowing and blemishes were very infrequent, but my face was SUPER shiny all the time.

Turns out, I actually have pretty oily skin and something about the other cheaper line of products I was using, was drying out my skin. I have oily black skin and right now I use: -PCA Oily/Problem Facial Wash – PCA Hydrating Toner – PCA Clearskin Moisturizer – Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield Flex SPF 50 – Deep >> Not PCA – Only use as needed when I’m sun for more than 10-15 mins – PCA Pigment Bar (just starting will review in a month or so) Check out my reviews on these and other PCA products I’ve tried.

Some worked amazingly and some I stopped.

Does this cure a blemish, yes! Will it prevent more from happening, I don’t know. I recommend this product because it cured my boyfriend’s stubborn acne. He used this everyday after washing his face with Clean Clear.

I was amazed at how clear and bright his face was afterwards! However, my skin is a lot more sensitive than his and after I used it for a few weeks, my skin was burning from the tea tree and I had to wash my face with cold water, so I stopped.

He loves this and has much thicker skin than I do. I recommend this to anyone who is looking to deep cleanse their tired complexion, as well as improve their acne-prone skin! A miracle lotion for acne.

I bought this because my lifelong cleanser Cetaphil changed its formula and made it feel like my skin was on fire when I used it. I have rosacea and cystic acne that I control with topical medications.

I used the La Roche-Posay Purifying Cleanser once and will base my review on the initial experience. If you have sensitive skin like mine, you would know all it takes is one time to have a reaction. I’m happy to say my face feels clean and very soft with no redness or irritation.

My skin is oily but maturing, as I am 38. I have no tightness, so it does not appear drying. I used this in the evening after a long day. I was not wearing makeup except mascara. It seemed easier to take my mascara off with eye makeup remover after washing my face.

My mascara didn’t streak all over my face while washing it, either, which usually happens with Cetaphil, so this impressed me. The only thing I didn’t love was how the product felt while using it, though I’m sure it will take some getting used to using a new product after using the same one for more than a decade.

However I’m excited to see how this works long-term. I’d recommend it to anyone in the same boat as me, being super cautious about their skincare and just wanting a safe and effective product.

This does not clean your skin. The foaming effect is for show. Not only does this dry out my skin but since it doesn’t actually remove anything from your face except the oil on top, it leads to breakouts.

This did nothing to control my oiliness either. I used squalene cleanser before hand. Then I follow up this with a toner and the amount of dirt on my cotton ball was sickening. I started having to lather my face twice just to remove more dirt.

I also started getting black heads on the side of my face as well and texture problems. I stopped using a week ago and my pores are finally shrinking. This most certainly does leave some sort of film because my serums barely absorbed using this and made my face feel more sticky than the serums would on an actual clean face.

Let me preface this review with the fact that I have tried A TON of cleansers. I have incredibly acne-prone skin and struggle severely with cystic acne and hormonal breakouts constantly. I’m incredibly involved with skincare and searched for a long time to find an effective, oil-reducing, fragrance-free cleanser good for acne-prone skin.

This cleanser is it. It’s my holy grail. It comes in a 13. 52 FL OZ bottle for about $15. It’s an incredible price for how much product you get. I’ve had my current bottle for about 2-3 months and I’m about halfway (I use it twice a day, morning and night).

It has a nice foaming action and is soap-free, sulfate-free, fragrance-free, and includes Ceramide-3 and Niacinamide (I’ve learned that Niacinamide is great for acne-prone skin as it brightens, clears, and smooths the skin.

It’s also great for soothing inflammation or dulling acne scars). My skin is nowhere near perfect, but this cleanser has helped immensely. I have combination skin (oily t-zone and dry cheeks) and this cleanser isn’t too stripping on the dry areas of my skin.

I really feel like my skin is less oily and my skin is getting cleaned. The hormonal acne is still there (which no cleanser can really help with anyway), but the whiteheads and blackheads I used to get (likely from an overproduction of oil on my forehead), are gone.

A small note is that I also use The Ordinary Niacinamide serum and the Elf Holy Hydration moisturizer. However, I attribute most of my skin’s positive progress to this cleanser. If you’re on the fence about it, just get it, I promise you won’t regret it! 10/10 recommend to everyone with oily/combination and acne-prone skin (I would try La Roche Posay’s other toleriane cleanser specifically for dry skin if you have dry to very dry skin).

After I used this product I had a terrible reaction. My skin was red and burning. I had open areas and sores after I used it. It was like it literally burned my skin off. I used it according to the directions.

I have never had a reaction like this with any face product or skin care product I’ve used. I had to let my skin heal for almost 2 weeks after using this product one time. I notified customer service because I had concerns with how severe my reaction was and didn’t want others to experience anything similar.

They did not allow me to return it but they were very “sorry” to hear I had a reaction. Beware of the return window. 30 days is a very short window from receiving the product in the mail and having enough time to really evaluate if this product is right for you.

You will likely not be refunded. I will not be ordering anymore JM products for fear I will have more reactions.

Jan Marini Bioglycolic face cleanser is my new favorite cleanser. This is a cream cleanser that does not leave your skin dry. Add this to dry skin and massage in with circular motions. I love the little bite my skin feels due to the glycolic acid.

Rinse with a cool towel and there’s no need to use toner afterwards. I still use my toner out of habit but my skin feels so smooth and my skin tone is more even due to this cleanser. One draw back is if you have eye makeup on you’ll need to use a separate cleanser to get it off, you wouldn’t want glycolic acid in your eyes.

The benefits of this cleanser definitely out weighs that small issue and definitely recommend for ALL skin types.

So I always have had huge pores and oily skin, and when I turned 30 my skin kept getting whiteheads where the whole thing was bumpy and I could literally squeeze stuff out, gross I know but I am still not sure if it was sebum or what, probably a combo of both that and whiteheads about to turn into pimples.

I tried all the products rated 4. 8 stars and above, but nothing really got rid of the whiteheads or cleared it out no matter how many exfoliating cleansers and masks I used. So when I tried this at first I was like okay it won’t work bc it feels like lotion basically but after I used it literally the stuff in my pores purged out within 2 minutes, came to the surface and I could get it out.

And this happens every single time, and my skin is getting better and better the whiteheads are going away and i’m not having nasty stuff coming out of the pores anymore and if it does it comes out and doesn’t come back.

I also use the ole henriksen scrub before I use this, mostly bc I have psoriasis and I have a lot of dead skin I have to get off everyday. I like to really massage this into my skin and take my time bc I feel it works best that way.

I don’t know what’s in this but it works amazing for pores and whiteheads, blackheads. It might be too mild if you have cystic acne, but I think even then you could probably use it after your normal acne routine and it would help purge out whatever is clogging the pores.

This face wash is a must for anyone with dry, sensitive, acne prone skin! im a highschool student who does two sports, wrestling and track, both of which are intense sports and always fill my face with sweat when i’m done.

With that being said i also have moderate hormonal acne as well. I’ve tried everything to clear up my acne. From home remedies to scrubs to even hundreds of dollars paid from different face washes, NOTHING worked.

I tried this face wash thinking it was going to be like the rest, leaving my sensitive skin more dry and bumpy than from what i started with, but it did the complete opposite! though i’ve only been using this wash for a week i can already see major changes in my skin! It is definitely more smoother, my acne is almost gone, my blackheads are less noticeable and my pores have shrunk! i use this in both the morning and night and use the same brand moisturizer and they work wonders, i 100% would recommend this to ANYONE with dry, sensitive, acne prone skin :).

Excellent cleanser, esp for the affordable price. Picked this up because their chapstick was one of the few I could use without lip breakouts. I’m a male with oily/acne prone skin. Tree hut products used to be the only thing that worked for me until they changed the formula.

This stuff gave me a purge around week 1 that peaked week 2 and finally big improvement from start on week 3. Only con is there needs to be a larger size – this is a tiny product. Expect to purchase every 2 months or so.

I have used this cleanser for I don’t know how many years! Easily 10 or more. WHY did you change the formula??? The old formula was perfect. Now it’s this weird smelling (don’t like the scent at all), thin, and less effective stuff.

It doesn’t lather like the old formula and doesn’t do as good a job removing all my makeup. I’m just so sad. There was no reason to change it. Please bring back the original formula.

This stuff has quite literally saved my skin. My face was breaking out worse than it ever has, and I even developed a rash later after many failed attempts at fixing it. This stuff was my last attempt at fixing what I caused, and holy cow has this stuff truly made a difference for me! Acne started to disappear within a week of use and made my skin overall feel so much better.

I couldn’t even smile from how painful my acne was, and this gel cleanser absolutely took all of that pain away and healed everything nicely. However, the only reason why I cannot give 5 stars is because I believe this product contains a very minute amount of fragrance, and although my skin is sensitive to fragrances as well it has never reacted badly to this product.

Take that with a grain of salt, however, because everyone’s skin is different. Correct me if I’m wrong about the fragrance part, but for now if your skin absolutely cannot handle fragrances I don’t recommend you use this.

I do recommend you use their sensitive skin facial cleanser which is 100% fragrance free if you are truly in need of something. Overall, I’m extremely pleased with this product and it does a very fine job of preventing breakouts and soothing acne.

Just maybe reconsider adding fragrance and maybe I’ll can give it the 5 stars I know it deserves.

I think this is the best soap of this type. Works well for shortening and preventing breakouts. Does not foam up a lot but washes off quickly and easily. Has pretty smooth texture without sandy feeling.

Doesn’t have much artificial scent, if any. Pure white color. Doesn’t make face dry or painful after routine use; this does happen with strong concentrations of benzoyl, salicylic acid or alcohol. Stronger benzoyl soaps will hurt your face and eyes.

Good price on this product too. The only caution is to watch towels, clothes and carpets as this has repeatedly bleached mine. It doesn’t bleach it to white or immediately but it will discolor many items over time.

I’ve used acne free products off and on for the past 17 years. I’ve gotten better results this product than I have with proactive solution for the fraction of the price. I wished that they had made this product when I was in junior high, and high school.

I tried proactive solution in late high school when it came out, and I seen little to no improvement. So with that all being said. This product is a huge win.

Loved this product have oily skin. Really helps with bumps on my face cleaning out them. Would recommend this product for in between type skin. Was fairly new when purchased but I love Neutrogena products and how they work with my skin.

I tried this product during my pregnancy with my son because I was experiencing kind of bad break out with my pregnancy. I tried it one morning and instantly fell in love with how smooth and refreshing it made my skin feel.

I felt like I lost a couple of years of age progression using this product. Hello world with my big belly and all felt really good. So if anyone wants to try Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit Foaming Scrub and have a really fresh face I would surely recommend it.

Tell everyone and everybody about this product to try for themselves. Go right ahead. I am still using this product now that I’m pregnant with my second child and I’m getting the same results as before when I was pregnant with my first child.

Try and tell people abouts this product so they can experience euphoria that i felt and feel everytime i use it. Just be careful not use to much of it at one time because they have microbeads in them and be careful not to harshly wash your face also with this product.

ve it.

I wish people would not say that this product needs to be taken off the shelf. Here is why: For the first two weeks of using this product I was freaked out. Like many other reviews my chin swelled up and was covered in a rash.

That was followed by severe dryness and flaky skin. I immediately read other reviews and saw that others had the same problem. I was freaked out and thought of immediately using a different brand HOWEVER I figured if it was strong enough to cause that reaction it must be strong enough to fight acne which I was desperate for.

I decided to stick with it a little longer and I am glad I did. Those symptoms only lasted a week or two then all that went away. I use this twice a day followed by nutrogena moisturizer. My skin is perfectly normal the only difference is, I have no acne.

I am 30 and I break out during ovulation. I have been using this product for over a month and its now starting to really show results. I am ovulating right now and I can not count even one pimple. (Who wants acne at age 30 right, I feel like a teenager again.

) I am glad I decided to stick with this product. Maybe if others do, some may have the same good results as me and have a little less self consciousness.

I have oily acne prone dark skin. I have managed to maintain a healthy skin and minimal breakouts by including Tretinoin to my skin care routine. I have been using Himalaya neem face wash for ages and Nivea jojoba oil vitamin E lotion.

I read about salicylic acid and it’s benefits for acne prone skin and hyperpigmentation, and thought of giving this product a go. Before switching to this product, I stopped using the Tretinoin. At first, my skin was irritated after using this face wash.

My face became very very itchy and my skin had some kind of a fine and textured rash that one can see and feel. I figured that’s normal since it’s my first time applying salicylic acid on my skin. I stopped for a couple of days and then resumed using this product.

All was good after that until I started breaking out badly all over my chin and cheeks even though I use this face wash only once a day and I consistently moisturise afterwards.

I bought this not too long ago along with the acne moisturizer, acne toner and brightening essence serum. It’s only been about or around two weeks of use and I am honestly already seeing a difference! Since the pandemic, I was breaking out like crazy and felt insecure about my skin.

My skin was clear prior to getting frequent break outs and I’m glad it’s finally clearing up my post acne marks and acne/pimples while preventing further pimples/acne form forming. It takes time but this stuff truly works well for those with sensitive, oily and acne prone skin.

It didn’t break me out and I love how they use natural products. For years I’ve been trying to find the best routine for me from using other luxury brands and drugstore such as dermatologica. This works best for me! I hope they never go out of business, I wouldn’t know what to do.

If you know me personally, I don’t write reviews often so this says a lot! If you’re thinking about getting these products, please do. They are worth the money.

I love this cleanser. I previously used the aloe cleanser (fantastic cleanser, but I needed more help). I suffer from hormonal acne due to birth control changes and pcos. I also have a very annoying problem where the sides of my nose peel like a bad sunburn and turn bright red and sore.

This has been the only cleaner that has cures both of these problems. Especially the nose problem, I’ve tried everything.

I have suffered from adult acne for years now and have tried everything. I decided to give these products a chance and I have been using them for a few months now. I have noticed amazing results. Not only does my acne dry out, but my acne scars are fading as well.

It also doesn’t leave my skin dry which I love. I will continue using both. I highly recommend to anyone who is experiencing acne and needs a product that will give you results.

I decided to come back to the Gunilla of Sweden product after my face had another acne flare up. The product have began to work within the first few days of using them, and my interaction with Gunilla of Sweden has always been very good.

Their representatives are always very courteous and helpful. I would recommend this company’s product to anyone!.

I love the pore min. serum. Its great under makeup. Also,help with fading dark spots over time. Best of all,it has natural ingredients.

This is a very gentle formula that safely cleans, drys, and removes blemishes, blackheads, and whiteheads. It also helps to prevent new blemishes from forming. It foams nicely and is way to apply and wash off.

It is a drying formula so I wouldn’t over use it, but it is a very effective product and I can see amazing results on my daughters face after only using it for about 2 weeks. My daughter has sensitive skin and this formula does not irritate her or cause her any redness.

It is basically scent free. I would say the only smell it has is the natural lotion smell. I would buy this again and I definitely recommend this for acne prone skin. Please follow me for more great reviews.

My name is Nicki & I am 37 years old. I have suffered with the worst kind of oily skin & acne since I was around 12 years old. When I got into my mid 20s I started to experience pretty severe cystic acne as well.

I’ve tried every type of cleanser out there & I was disappointed time & time again. I found LovelySkin & I decided to try Glytone’s cleanser. I can honestly say that NOTHING has worked AS WELL as this product for me.

I love the way that it tingles when left on my skin for about 1-2 minutes. It also instantly softens rough skin texture & rinses clean. It does not over dry my skin. It has substantially helped slow my faces oil production, even in these extreme summer months.

I’m eager to try Glytone’s masks to see if they are as good as this cleanser is.

I have used Glytone self foaming cleanser for several years now as recommended by my dermatologist. The product worked great. The foaming was significant enough to shave with. The product was unavailable for a period of time and has recently become available again.

I quickly purchase 4 new bottles. The new product is a different color and no longer foams. I called Glytone and was informed that the formula has changed. I expressed my disappointment with the new product that doesn’t foam as advertised.

My skin hasn’t been the same since I came upon this cleanser! I didn’t think I would fall in love with this product, I randomly bought it on a Walmart shopping trip because it had witch hazel (which fights acne and reduces skin irritation).

I used to use Neutrogenas acne cleanser which didn’t prevent any breakouts or random pimples. When I’m telling you ever since I started using this cleanser I haven’t had a single breakout since I’m not joking! This cleanser really does give your skin a cooling sensation like it says in the bottle which I love.

I’m on my fourth bottle already, Everytime I run out I instantly go buy another one! I usually use this cleanser after removing my makeuo, than i follow up with Dickinsons witch hazel toner with a few drops of tea tree oil, I apply a serum, and moisturizer and my skin absolutely loves this product.

I enjoyed using this face wash I felt like it purified my skin from all the makeup and dirt that had built up throughout the day or on days I didn’t wear makeup I felt it helped to keep my skin clean and help prevent spots from forming.

The mask smells menthol/minty and is cooling on the skin which I like as you can feel it physically cleansing your skin deep down. It was super foamy once lathered in which I was glad about as there’s nothing worse than a cleanser that’s really dry and doesn’t slip around the skin when your working it in as you feel like your not getting as good a job done at really cleansing your skin deeply.

You get a fairly big bottle for the price which is great and I like that it’s a pump cleanser as it’s a lot less messy to use than other cleansers and a lot more hygienic to use if you share cleansers with other people e.

g at a salon etc. I like that the cleanser has the added benefit of witch hazel as you know aswell as cleansing your skin the cleanser is helping prevent spots and rid of some of that bad bacteria on the surface of your skin.

The cleanser didn’t make me break out which I’m glad about and my skin did look a lot clearer after using this for a continuous period I noticed my skin was healing a little faster from previous breakouts (for reference I have combination skin, only oily in the T zone and only get spots every now and then in small quantities) and I was experiencing less breakouts.

Overall I enjoyed using this cleanser paired with the pore strips and will continue to use them in my daily skincare routine. I can’t wait to see what else my skin gains from using this cleanser and I recommend you try it if you have a similar skin type to mine.

Does a great job of minimising and controlling my break outs. The bottle lasts quite a while too, i’m on my second one and will continue using it. The cleanser can be drying so make sure you use a good moisturiser after use.

Read all the reviews so thought sill give it a try, didn’t disappoint at all! Only used for 1-2 weeks and once a day, ski already clearing up spots and that’s has been under my skin for weeks or months.

Amazing how it bro s them to surface and dries them up, now my skin has no lumps and bumps which was horrible and uncomfortable. I have used this To wash with either fingers or the brush supplied in kit.

Both effective and skin tighter, clean, smaller pores and definitely clearer. Thank you and highly recommend by a 45yr who suffered from spots all this time.

This product is the best cleanser I have ever used. My skin is so much clearer. Such a light product and leaves your skin feeling fresh

I soooo wish I had before and after photos since using this product daily. I suffer from hormonal acne, and patches of redness that looks like acne but there aren’t any raised bumps. My pores have also become more noticeable as I’ve aged (I’m 36).

When I tell you I’ve tried nearly every acne cleanser out there I mean I HAVE TRIED THEM ALL. The only one that ever made a difference is the original Proactive cleanser but I’ve stopped using products that contain parabens and it wasn’t working for me like it used to anyways.

I’ve found that salycic acid cleansers don’t work for me and neither does benzoyl peroxide, although it used to. I picked this up during Ulta’s 21 days of beauty sale figuring I had nothing to lose and within a week my skin had completely cleared up for the first time in over a year.

I started reading about the benefits of sulfur for acne prone skin and wish I’d had known about it so much sooner! I’ve been using this cleanser for over a month now and still get the occasional pimple around that time of the month but it’s a night and day difference from before.

I can actually leave the house without foundation and feel comfortable in my skin. If you’ve tried salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide cleansers and they haven’t worked for you pleeeaaase give this a shot.

The only downside is that it has a very mild scent (to be expected with any product containing sulfur), but it’s not at all overbearing and dissipates once you wash it off. But if you’re super sensitive to scents, maybe get it when it’s on sale or buy a mini first.

So happy I found a product that works for me!!!.

I purchased when I ran out of a prescription 6% sulfur face wash (SulfaCleanse) and love it so much I’ve never gone back to the rx! While my prescription face wash helped keep acne-rosacea flares at bay, it was too drying to use more than once daily (even with 1x daily use, SulfaCleanse often left dry, flakey patches around my eyes and mouth).

OTOH, I was pleasantly surprised to find EradiKate Daily Cleanser’s formula incredibly gentle. The combination of 3% sulfur—half the strength of my rx formula and soothing ingredients like colloidal oatmeal allow me to treat my skin twice daily without drying or irritation.

This has made my skin clearer and more resilient to acne-rosacea flares *and* hormonal breakouts! The sulfur scent is greatly tempered by the addition of soothing and calming herbal ingredients; EradiKate Daily Cleanser doesn’t have that in-your-face rotten egg smell typical of many sulfur-based products, and the little it does dissipates upon rinsing and drying.

Because you only need a pea-sized amount of EradiKate Daily Cleanser to work into a lather each time you wash your face, the formula is pretty economical. A 4oz tube sells for ~$40USD and lasts me ~6 months of twice daily use.

If you’re hesitant to pull the trigger on the full size, a 2oz tube retails for ~$20USD and should last ~3 months. This cleanser has been magic in a tube for my (reactive, eczema-prone, combination) acne-rosacea skin—for both treating and preventing blemishes without causing dryness or irritation.

I cannot recommend enough if your skin reacts well to sulfur! ⭐️NOTE⭐️: if you’re unsure how your skin reacts to sulfur and don’t want to purchase a $$ product until you know it’s an ingredient that works for you, I recommend purchasing an inexpensive sulfur mask or bar soap from your pharmacy or Amazon (de la Cruz sulfur mask, sulfur/zinc “Z-bar” soap, and generic sulfur/salicylic acid bar soaps all retail for ~$3USD/each).

None of these are as hydrating as KS EradiKate, but they will give you an idea as to how your skin handles sulfur as an active for acne treatment🙂.

I absolutely never review any products, but felt almost obligated to by the success I have had with this product. I have suffered with severe acne both during my pregnancy and the last 5 months post-partum.

I spent 9 months trying everything to fix it and the last 5 months tackling it again from every angle. I typically have true combo skin, bad blackheads, extremely sensitive and acne prone skin especially when over-exfoliated.

After narrowing my acne down to a fungal acne caused by varying hormone levels, I searched high and low for sulfur containing products to accompany a topical anti fungal prescribed from my physician.

This face wash is one of the few suggested for fungal acne, and the only one you need. My skin has not looked this good in over a year and a half (even with just the topical anti fungal ). You can definitely smell the sulfur, but my skin has never felt dried out or over exfoliated.

Highly recommend a try if all other paths have been unsuccessful.

I have used this for years and really like this cleanser. I have no other complaints but wish it came in a smaller size which is why I give it a 4. I only use it once a week (otherwise it’s too stripping for me) and my husband uses it multiple times, but even with 2 people using it, it takes far past the “use by” date because you really don’t need that much product each time.

Mind you we only use for our face and not body, and we do use it all without any issues of mold or noticeable decay that would otherwise deter us, but just the same if it came in a smaller tub we wouldn’t have to worry about that or any product waste either.

NOW, on the positive side (as there are many) this is a great cleanser for my husbands skin (very naturally oily and sweaty). This keeps his face very clear and is the only cleanser he uses. It provides the scrub to feel clean that he appreciates but also is very moisturizing.

We have found that the consistency is great too. When traveling you feel really secure about it not spilling, and I have even dropped an open tub of this into the bath and it survived. Overall great product, I just wish it came in a bit smaller tub so I wouldn’t feel bad about using past expiration and/or throwing away product.

i’ve had pretty severe acne for about 5 years now and i’ve gone through many face cleansers. none of the ones i’ve previously tried have actually helped with the skin issues i deal with. i try to be as eco-friendly as possible, and environment wise this is a pretty good option ! the smell isn’t as terrible as some people say, it kind of just smells like wheat bread and vinegar.

the smell isn’t very strong either, i personally rather like it. the formula is rather crumbly before you get it all pasty though, and it can be hard to get it onto the face without losing some product down the sink.

removal can be a bit of a process seeing as the grit likes to stick to the face quite a bit, but it really isn’t a big issue. the scrub is pretty mild so its fine for me, but if you have super sensitive skin or skin with easy to open wounds such as scabbed over acne, i would be careful.

pros: actually helps with acne and oil production, an absolute miracle for that not overwhelmingly expensive, especially for what it does has helped with even skin tone as well, not just texture cons: a bit difficult to form into a paste removal can be a bit tough tldr: wonderful cleanser for normal to oily kind of skin, or just skin with acne in general.
