Review 1 for Blemish Banisher Kit
Bad choice
-05.24.13
Quick Take: good value
I was so excited to try this product I had been using the makeup forever hd foundation which severely broke me out so I was desperate to try something g that would make the redness and the bumps disappear but I think this made it worse i have very sensitive skin so I truly wouldn't recommend for those with sensitive skin this is for someone who has bad acne I suppose the point is I did not like it I returned it although I did love the exfolikate product it really does do the job.overall I returned the kit and got my money back I am not gonna repurchase except for the exfolikate even if its pricey I think this is worth it the rest off the kit was not as good as any other acne medicine from the drugstore.

Review 2 for Blemish Banisher Kit
Bye Bye Prescription meds
-05.20.13
Quick Take: travel-friendly
I bought this kit in addition to the clarifying toner and antibac lotion. I have had very few blemishes and they go away quick rather than last days or weeks like they usually do. I don't use the exfoliator too much. The moisturizer is a must. I use it nightly after the toner. I was skeptical to try and after a year I decided to give it a try. I get cystic acne and these products have helped tremendously. I'm one of those people that have tried most OTC products and prescriptions. Try it!

Review 3 for Blemish Banisher Kit
Hasn't made much difference
-05.10.13
Quick Take: travel-friendly, iiradikate helps with current breakouts
Just average. Cleanser is nice. I still break out on my chin & it did not clear anything up. The iradikate does help calm current breakouts, but nothing in this kit cleared or prevented breakouts.

Review 4 for Blemish Banisher Kit
Actually works
-05.05.13
Quick Take: travel-friendly, good value
I'm in my mid-thirties and still suffering from mild acne. I avoid benzoyl peroxide, to which I have a sensitivity, and have tried several products (Murad, Clinique, even Tea Tree oil products). None have worked so far. I tried this kit 3 weeks ago and have seen a dramatic change: my skin is less oily, my breakouts are more manageable. The cleanser and moisturizer keep my face clear most of the time.However, my skin is still very sensitive and prone to break out (like, when I mindlessly rest my hand on my chin, I'm sure to get a new one in the area the next day).Whenever I get a new blemish, the EradiKate dries it overnight or at the most, in 2 days. Over-all a good starter kit and I plan to continue using the products (in fact, I already bought the full-size moisturizer). I took one star off because of the price and uneven quantity in the kit (the moisturizer ran out way ahead of the others) but otherwise a great product.

Review 7 for Blemish Banisher Kit
not for me
-03.21.13
Quick Take: okay
this kit did not work for me
i didn't see any positive results. my skin was dry and irritated. i have combo skin. however, i did really like the exfolikate. it makes my skin soft. i would recommend purchasing the clinique acne solutions trial kit or just purchase the bar soap and acne toner. it's really helping me skin out.

Review 8 for Blemish Banisher Kit
Review 9 for Blemish Banisher Kit
Smooth skin, but still having break outs
-02.06.13
Quick Take: good value, travel-friendly
The daily cleanser has a strong lemon-lime scent, kept reminding me of Sprite. I used it with my Clarisonic and I really do feel like my face is clean. The ExfoliKate isn't harsh or drying at all, but then again I have oily skin. The EradiKate stings the first few times you use them, and be careful of the eye area because if it gets too close it can burn. The moisturizer feels light but it helps rehydrate after washing my face.
Does it work for acne? I'm not sure because I still break out, but it's not as harsh. As soon as I feel a pimple growing I'll cover that spot with EradiKate, but the pimple still forms. I guess it helps the pimples go away faster.
Overall, it's a good kit and it made my face super smooth. But it didn't really help with my acne too much. Will I buy this again? Probably not, but I'll keep using it until it's all gone.

Review 10 for Blemish Banisher Kit
Hoping to send this back.
-01.27.13
I have always had really good skin, until I had my kids, and now I get blemishes around the hormonal times of the month. I have tried this 3 times, and now with the third application, I can feel my entire face burning, much like it does when it has been chemically burned by a skin product. I am hoping to send this back and be refunded.

Review 11 for Blemish Banisher Kit

perfect
-01.22.13
I dont usually write reviews but I love this kit so much I am. The face wash is great. Smells amazing! The exfoliator is very gentle and even though the moisturizer is oil free its still very hydrating. I have very oily skin and it does not break me out. Speaking of breaking out eradikate is a miracle worker. I have hormonal acne and it helps clear it up fast and even prevents breakouts. I am 100% positive I will buy full sizes of these when mine run out.

Review 12 for Blemish Banisher Kit
Good, but Not Worth the Money
-01.22.13
Quick Take: travel-friendly
I bought this on a whim. It wasn't a bad purchase, but I would rather stick to my Philosophy "Clear Day". Everything worked well. Nothing was too drying or harsh, but it smelled awful. The spot treatment is the one thing that I just hated. The only thing that I would purchase in a larger size is the exfoliator. It was amazing!

Review 13 for Blemish Banisher Kit
Great Value!
-01.15.13
Quick Take: good value
I bought this kit for the (regular size) EradiKate Acne Treatment. I had previously sampled the regular ExfoliKate Exfoliating Treatment and this kit came with the acne version; the acne version is a little milder and while I love the original version better, the one that comes in the kit does an acceptable job. The cleanser and moisturizer are nothing fabulous -- just super clean, simple, pure, does-the-job products. I ran out of the moisturizer very quickly, but the other products' sizes seemed more than adequate for me to try out the line; I still have more than half of the EradiKate Acne Treatment left after a couple of months since I only use it for spot treatments at night.

Review 14 for Blemish Banisher Kit
Love Every Piece in This Kit
-01.03.13
I love how so many of her anti-acne line (including some of the ones in this kit) have lactic acid and phytic acid in order to fade previous acne scarring in addition to clearing up present and future acne. It is really the only line of anti-acne stuff that I've found that adresses the past effects of acne in addition to future ones. Plus, the EradiKate is full-sized, so it lasts quite a while and you only need to replace the other three once they run out.

Review 15 for Blemish Banisher Kit
Great, solved my minor breakout problems
-01.03.13
Quick Take: good value, effective, easy to use
Anytime I wore makeup I would get 1 or 2 zits the next day, even when using makeup remover/cleanser at night. I got this kit for Christmas and it has really done the trick for me. I haven't had any new pimples and "Eradikate" cleared up my existing zits basically overnight.
The only negative thing I have to say is that the product sizes in the kit don't seem balanced. I think I will have enough Eradikate and exfoliator to last 6 months, cleanser to last about 2 months, but only enough moisturizer for about 3 weeks.

Review 16 for Blemish Banisher Kit
Impressed
-12.31.12
Quick Take: great intro to kate somerville, effective
I have been looking for something to address my acne and had been using the EradiKate Treatment and decided that I should try this set out. Great decision - I found a moisturizer that is wonderful for my skin, an exfoliant that is gentle but effective, and a face wash that doesn't dry out my face in the winter.
The moisturizer was definitely my favorite out of the pack, and it is just what I needed. My skin can get oily in my T-Zone and the tops of my cheeks, but the rest of my face gets rather dry in the winter. This I can put on and it doesn't create more oil (since it is oil-free) and it sinks right into my skin. Best of all, I don't have to wait 5 minutes for it to fully sink in so I could put my makeup on - this takes about 30 seconds. I liked the set because the full-size is a little pricey and this was a great introduction to the product.
I have used the EradiKate for a month and noticed that it makes a difference. It is hard not to touch your face during the day when you know something is sitting there, but when you don't touch/prod/pick and use this, it will start to decrease and go away. Since I have a few areas on my face where the acne is prevalent, I have to remember to not sleep on my side so the treatment doesn't rub off. I wake up in the morning and most of it still is on my face, so that gives an idea of how it handles during the night.

Quick Take: travel-friendly, good value
The best part of this kit was EradiKate. The other products did not do a lot for me. I finished the kit and ended up buying another bottle of EradiKate separately.

Great way to sample line
-12.16.12
Quick Take: great for oily skin
I am dealing with aging and zits, I looked at everything they had to offer and decided to try the line through this kit. I do like it and would purchase the moisturizer for sure. Because I break out so easily it is a waste to try full sized products.

Review 19 for Blemish Banisher Kit
AMAZING
-12.07.12
I have used almost everything to try and get a grasp on my hormonal cystic acne. This has done the trick OVERNIGHT! My first night I had 3 different cystic acne points on my face and they reduced by 90%. I have had these 3 points for the last week and a half and the normal heat compress was not working. Proactive went out the window and I am beginning to think it's the biggest fire starter to my cystic acne. THIS STUFF WORKS!!!!! I read other reviews on here of people who've had cystic acne and I am glad they wrote their review. Seriously if you are even on the fence about it, get it as you will not be sorry.

My skin care routine!
-11.17.12
I've purchased this set 3 times already, it's great for getting rid of and preventing acne. The face wash is perfect, gets every spec of dirt and makeup off your skin. The exfoliator is my favorite, gets rid of dead skin and fights acne! I really like the moisturizer but you don't get much, it doesn't last as long as everything else. The spot treatment is the best spot treatment I've used ( and I've used a lot l!! From murad, Clinique, proactive etc etc etc ) it dries pimples right up. Definitely recommend!
