If Kate Somerville's EradiKate Acne Treatment ($26) looks familiar, that's probably because it's a ringer for Mario Badescu's cult-favorite Drying Lotion. So what's the difference? Well, both will zap acne quickly, but EradiKate is arguably more potent because of the higher sulfur content. Additionally, Mario Badescu indicates that its Drying Lotion is ideal for whiteheads, while EradiKate is intended for deeper blemishes. We suggest choosing the option that's ideal for your needs (small whiteheads vs. larger pimples). To use, dip a cotton bud into the settled formula, apply to the spot, and leave it on for as long as you're able. It will pull zit goo to the surface and reduce redness.
