Kate Somerville: New clinic-inspired peptide rich skincare that delivers results

Everyone wants to have their best skin possible, working on addressing blemishes and imperfections, and combating signs of ageing without using harsh products that attack the skin rather than soothe it and protect it.

But you don’t want to fall for buzzwords and marketing, and instead want to rely on products that are informed by experience and expertise in the world of skincare with clinically-proven results. And even better if they’re accessible at home.

For nearly two decades, Kate Somerville has been selling trailblazing skincare products from her clinic in Hollywood. Opened in 2004, the flagship clinic in the heart of Melrose Place, Los Angeles, was a result of years of Kate’s experience working alongside the world’s top cosmetic surgeons and dermatologists making her an authority on all things skin.

And it’s not just a professional endeavour, for Somerville it is deeply personal. Following a childhood battle with eczema she is emotionally invested in giving everyone their best skin, empathetic and keen to transform lives when your skin seems to have other ideas. She says: “If I could have a superpower, it would be to heal people.”

Now, as part of her growing range, Somerville has launched her new KateCeuticals products, to be used at home (useful when getting to the clinic in lockdown is not possible) that pack powerhouse anti-ageing ingredients, including peptides, and are informed by Somerville’s extensive knowledge of skin.

The products, which launch on 15 February, range from a total repair cream to a firming serum and lifting eye cream, each with a unique blend of ingredients that promises results.

Somerville even has five skin health principles - cleansing, exfoliating, hydrating, treating and moisturising, and protecting - which run through all of her lines. Including the latest KateCeuticals, which launches on 15 February, with three brand new products.

Each designed with premium ingredients for a results-driven approach you can trust.

Inspired by Somerville’s anti-ageing facial at her clinic, this product has been in the works for years. It is a targeted cream, which combines hydration and plumping, alongside deep moisture for the ability to smooth skin texture and restore firmness and suppleness. 

Formulated with a powerful peptide-infused ceramide complex. The peptides increase skin hydration, reduces visible redness, improves texture, helps with firmness & elasticity and helps barrier repair while smoothing the look of fine lines and deep wrinkles. It also includes hyaluronic acid, Vitamin E, Squalane, Hemp, Macadamia, and Jojoba seed oils.

How To Use: Use in the morning and evening. Apply a thin, even layer to face and neck. Use alone or layer over a treatment or serum.

For Somerville, the solution to her own skincare problems was soothing goat’s milk - one of the key additions in many of her product lines - but she is an expert in bringing together cocktails of high-performance ingredients to address a range of skin problems. And she’s good, trusted by some of the world’s most photographed faces to get it right when it matters.

Known as the “Guru of Glow” among her celebrity clients, helping to get them red carpet and camera ready, Somerville’s products are designed to be used at home or in the clinic, and get the same results without harsh irritants that require extensive downtime after use and before you see results. Every product is independently tested, vetted and clinically perfected.
