Product Review: Kate Sommerville

Apologies to the 3 men who read this blog as the following post is not likely to appeal to you (though it should as exfoliating is important!)

I recently started using the Kate Sommerville line of products. You may remember that I was using Rexaline for about 6 months and loving it. Apparently I was the only one using it as they've discontinued the product. So back to the Sephora shelves I ventured, looking for something overpriced with packaging I find appealing.

Based on the above criteria & the fact that celebrities get facials at her spa in LA, I decided to try the Sommerville line, purchasing one of her starter kits.

Look how pretty the girl on the box is!

Overall, I've been disappointed. I rarely breakout, but ever since I started using the daily regimen, my skin has been irritated. It smells good & I really want to like it, but my face is pretty clearly saying "NOPE".

On the upside, the "bonus" product that came in the kit ("ExfoliKate") is the one thing I will continue to use. It's a pretty aggressive exfoliant, so they reco only using it once or twice a week. It works. The day after I use it, people ask me if I just got a facial. So this one I would reco (it is sold separately).

Try to look past the stupid name.

I'm moving onto the Murad line to see how I like it. STAY TUNED.

  1. Gibbs---i swear by the Arcona product line. My sensitive, Irish skin loves it. Sold at Ruby Room, of course.
