As our health and wellbeing has come into focus more than ever this past year, many of us have been taking self-care far more seriously, with a particular focus on skincare and at-home treatments while clinics have been closed. One powerhouse brand that has sought to bring the expertise of skincare clinics straight to your door is Kate Somerville, with its new KateCeuticals range.

With two decades of experience, Somerville is an industry trailblazer, and has been delivering clinically-driven, transformative results from her Hollywood-based skin health clinic since 2004. Hailed as “the guru of glow”, she has garnered a star-studded client list that includes the likes of Meghan Markle, Eva Mendes and Kate Hudson.

Somerville’s passion for skincare is rooted in a personal desire to deliver life-changing products. After growing up with eczema, she knows first hand how it feels to be uncomfortable in your own skin, so has dedicated her career to finding powerful solutions that deliver results without irritation.

Her new Resurfacing Overnight Peel (£76) is the perfect example of this ethos. Delivering glass-like skin that’s usually only obtainable from a clinic facial, the mask is packed with a powerhouse of ingredients that are efficacious yet kind to the skin. The ingredients list includes glycolic acid to slough away dead skin cells and promote cell turnover, retinol encapsulated with ceramides for all the powerful results of the anti-ageing ingredient without the irritation, niacinamide for reducing texture, clearing pores and strengthening the skin barrier, ceramides to restore the skin and antioxidant-rich vitamin E to fight free-radicals.

The innovative peel is one of Kate Somerville’s best-kept anti-ageing secrets, as the actives in the formula work to transform skin texture and add clarity, aided by nourishing ingredients that ensure results without any discomfort. The formula is clinically proven to visibly improve luminosity, fine lines and texture and has been extensively tested at the brand’s clinic. The trial testimonials speak for themselves: after just two weeks, 90 per cent of users reported softer and smoother skin. Achieving smooth, glowy skin without the irritation that other chemical peels can cause makes this a no-brainer addition to your post-lockdown skincare arsenal.

Not only will your skin appear brighter and firmer after using the peel, but you’ll also find that your make-up will apply far better and last for longer without touch-ups, as you’re giving yourself the perfect base to work on. Your other skincare products, including the rest of the KateCeuticals range, will also penetrate the skin more effectively after chemical exfoliation, which makes the peel a great investment as it will make your other skincare work even harder.

With such potent ingredients (retinol and glycolic acid, most notably) it’s imperative that you follow up the peel with an SPF, as chemical exfoliation can make your skin more sensitive to sun damage. Luckily, Kate Somerville has got you covered on that front too, with its new Daily Deflector Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 (£42). Packed with skin-strengthening ceramides, the hydrating formula protects against both UVA and UVB rays, as well as blue light damage from screens, which can cause wrinkles and hyperpigmentation in the same way that sun damage does. The lightweight sunscreen also combats against other environmental aggressors too, making it a must-have for everyday use. Fragrance free, it’s also suitable for sensitive skin types, which is often hard to find with SPF.

The coveted KateCeuticals range also features an eye cream (£105), a serum (£84) and a moisturiser (£105), with powerful formulas that centre around the same skin restoration and anti-ageing system. The eye cream boasts peptides that mimic snake venom to relax muscle contraction, thus smoothing fine lines and wrinkles, while the Total Repair Cream features a peptide and ceramide repair complex that works to deeply nourish and hydrate while strengthening the skin’s barrier. Inspired by the plumping, wrinkle-busting effect of fillers, the serum contains hyaluronic acid, a hydrating powerhouse found in dermal filler, along with peptides that boost collagen production. The range’s cutting-edge technology is the next best thing to visiting Somerville’s LA-based clinics.
