A high-performance, age-defence moisturiser with the added boost of a whole host of peptides to increase the look of firmness and reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles. This moisturiser is of Hall of Fame status for me, easily in my top 3 favourite moisturisers of all time, and with good reason. It was a struggle to pick out my favourites, but here are my desert-island must haves. It’s to the point that I have already purchased a second tube (I need a backup so I won’t run out), and I’m ordering a travel sized version too.As you will probably know by now, Kate Somerville is a holy grail brand for me. I saw improvement in my skin when I started using the Detox Cleanser alone, but I didn’t expect to see this much change in my skin with adding in the ExfoliKate Cleanser. It is smoother, my pores are smaller and I have had fewer blemishes. Since I started using both cleansers instead of just the Detox alone, I’ve been pretty surprised in the improvement in my skin. I pay close attention to my skin, and if my skin is irritated I will skip a night of ExfoliKate Cleanser and my retinol cream. ExfoliKate Cleanser isn’t harsh, but it isn’t quite as gentle as Detox. ExfoliKate cleanser also has Glycolic Acid and Lactic Acid, but they’ve added in Pineapple, Pumpkin and Papaya Enzymes, and they don’t have the added soothing ingredients. There are also a lot of soothing ingredients, like Aloe Vera and Allantoin, so it has been great for my mild rosacea.
So, what’s the difference between the two cleansers? Detox has Salicylic, Glycolic, and Lactic Acids, all of which help to gently exfoliate the skin and clean out pores. It’s just the right amount to wash my face, avoiding my eye area. I then rinse and wash a second time, using about a pea sized amount of the ExfoliKate Cleanser. I’ve been washing my face first with the Detox Cleanser to remove my makeup. It does not make my face feel overly tight or dry, just clean. It has a light lather and rinses off super easily. There’s a very faint green tint, but it’s pretty much just white. It is a bit drier, and has some very fine and evenly sized grit. And I was right! I have already bought a “backup” tube to keep around, so I’ll never run out!ĮxfoliKate Cleanser isn’t really a typical cleanser.
I reasoned that it was free, so I wasn’t really “wasting” my money, right? I would get to try it out, but I knew deep down that because it was Kate that I would probably love it. I love ExfoliKate! But, do I need both? Especially when I have already stocked up on Kate Somerville Detox Cleanser to the point that I will never need to purchase face wash again in my life? It’s kind of hard to justify buying more expensive face wash when you own more Kate Somerville than most spas.īut, recently I was buying a few “staples”, and needed another $25 to hit free shipping and a % off, so I went for the ExfoliKate Cleanser. So, when I heard about the new Kate Somerville ExfoliKate Cleanser, I was at once excited about it, but also didn’t really care. One tube lasts me about 10-11 months, and I’ve used it continuously for about 7 or 8 years. I don’t even know how many tubes of ExfoliKate I’ve purchased. You can read my original ExfoliKate review, check out my 5 year blog anniversary ode to ExoliKate (which was 5 years ago now), or buy it from Sephora, Nordstrom or Kate Somerville.
I probably use it about once or twice a week, depending upon how my skin is doing. One of my all time favorite products is her ExfoliKate, a green scrub that takes only a minute to work! It leaves my skin smooth and glowy, a tube of this stuff lives in my shower all time. Her products are a bit of a splurge for me, but they’re well worth it. She’s the esthetician to the stars in LA, and she has an amazing skin care line. I’ve made no secret of my love of Kate Somerville.
