Thanks to Skincare (http://www.essentialdayspa.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=16057&highlight=kate+somerville) I found myself wondering throught the kate somerville website. I was interested in quite a few products. I receive three samples and I thought I would give you a mini review of each.
The first is the Kate in a Jar. here is what their site has to say..
The next best thing to seeing Kate at the Clinic. Treat yourself to a KS signature Facial at home. ~Fruit enzymes clarify skin by removing dead cells and eliminating bacteria ~ Highly effective in combating acne, including stubborn blackheads ~ Helps fade discoloration~ Polishes skin, revealing a smooth, glowing complextion.
What can I say, I really  this product. It is like a combination of JB Green Apple peel, Jan Marini SkinZyme Cleanser, and a manual scrub. It stings slightly when you are massaging it in, very similiar the the sensation I get when I use JB green apple peel. The results are as good as when I use the green apple peel. The best part is that you only need to massage it in for about 30 sec. I will definitely buy this when my GAP is finished (if I can hold out that long 
The next product that I tried was the Goat Milk Cream. Kate says...
Sensitive/Combination to Oily For years, Ancient Egyptians used goat milk to heal and nurture skin. Our delicate, daily moisturizer, enriched with nourishing goat milk proteins, vitamins & amino acids, similarly helps soothe & condition skin for optimum moisture balance and renewal. ~Natural lactic acid gently exfoliates and renews skin ~ Calms and rejuvenates sensitive, distressed or post treatment skin ~ Witch hazel naturally fights harmful bacteria
This is one that I really wanted to try. Unfortunately, it was too heavy for my very oily skin. It was recommended for me to use it in the mornings. I used it for the first time at night. My face was so oily/greasy in about 10 min. I ended up having to wipe most of it off. I tried it the next night on my neck. I did like it there, it is similar to Jan Marini's bioglycolic night cream. I am on the fence about using this product.
Deep Tissue Repair...
YOUR ANSWER TO AGELESS BEAUTY! Experience the power & precision of the most advanced anti-aging ingredients at work. This age-defying treatment was formulated by Kate with…Renew, Restore, Results…in mind! It instantly softens & strengthens skin, promoting a supple & velvety complexion. Watch surface lines & wrinkles lift away as this proprietary formulation, blending Peptide K8 with collagen builders, penetrates deeply to encourage cellular repair & reverse damage. Promote collagen & elasticity with this wonder in anti-aging….and witness an undeniable transformation to firmer, radiant, younger-looking skin. ~ Notice a dramatic difference in skin texture & moisture balance after ONE use!~ Helps to reduce depth, density, & volume of wrinkles ~ Deeply penetrates for ultimate cell recovery ~ Instantly smoothes & corrects rough, dry & flaky ~ Prevents water loss & maintains the skin’s natural moisture
This product was recommended as a night time moisturizer. It seems very interesting and is the #1 seller. I will you know the results when I do try it.
I did order the Detox Daily Cleanser and the Blemish Be Gone (similar to Bario Madescu's Drying lotion) I debated between the detox and the purifying cleanser. I will probably end up getting the other to try. |

I tried the sample set last year.
Daily wash - Nice, but I don't notice much. I prefer to use DERMADoctor Wrinkle Revenge #2 and Avene cold cream cleanser.
Nourish - Nice, but didn't notice anything.
Quench - This reminded me very much like Skinceuticals B5 gel. Since B5 is cheaper - I prefer to use that ... excellent on the plane and dry, winter days.
Total Vitamin Serum - again, another nice but I don't notice a thing.
Enzyme scrub and mask - This is my favorite of the line. Very fine scrub and works fast. I like this better than any enzyme masks because it is a combo - scrub and enzyme. Hubby used this one night. He left it on too long and his face was red ... but the next morning it was soft and the texture/skin tone was amazing.
Blemish be gone - I think this is the same as the Bandescu drying lotion. Alcohol on top/pink stuff on botton. Stick cotton swab into bottom and apply to face.
Goat Milk Lotion - The one I got was the body lotion. It was very nice, sunk in well and had a pleasant light smell but it's rather expensive.
Some nice stuff but nothing that made a huge difference that I would order online again. |
