Details & care

What it is: Retinol and Vitamin C are two of the most transformative skincare ingredients, known for powerfully smoothing, firming and brightening skin. Perfected in her Skin Health Experts Clinic, Kate’s uniquely formulated powerhouse serum and moisturizer deliver visible results fast without irritation or downtime.

What it does: This moisturizer and serum set is designed to firm and brighten skin, reducing lines and wrinkles.

Set includes:

Retinol Vitamin C Moisturizer (50 ml/1.7 fl. oz) - Uniquely formulated with anti-aging superstars Retinol and Vitamin C, this lightweight & luxe moisturizer firms, brightens and nourishes skin overnight while improving texture, tone, and the look of fine lines and wrinkles.

Retinol Vita C Power Serum (30 ml/1 fl. oz) - Uniquely formulated to stabilize powerhouse ingredients Vitamin C + Retinol, Kate's power serum visibly brightens, firms and evens tone while working to improve skin texture, smooth lines and neutralize free radicals that can cause premature aging.

How to use:

Retinol Vitamin C Moisturizer: PM Only. Apply a thin, even layer to face and neck. Reduce the frequency of use if sensitivity occurs. While using this product, also use a daily sunscreen with a minimum of SPF 30.

Retinol Vita C Serum: PM only. Apply a thin, even layer to face and neck, avoiding the eye area. Follow with your favorite Kate Somerville moisturizer. While using this product, also use a daily sunscreen with a minimum of SPF 30.

Pro tips: Retinol is the single most transformative ingredient in skincare because it delivers visible results fast! To avoid irritation, do not use these products together. Instead, alternate them every couple of days. To see visible results from the products in this set, apply on alternate evenings and no more than 4 times per week. Monitor any skin sensitivity and adjust product use accordingly.

Glowing and flawless skin
These retinol products are an essential part of my skincare wellness. The results are unmatched . I’ve tried countless other retinol products yet keep coming back to KS for the results. My skin truly glows and fine lines are erased. I rotate this duo and incorporate the Wxfokicate facial along with the KS firming serum and moisturizers on non- retinol nights for incredible skin. I even use the retinol serum on the tops of my hands to keep them looking youthful. Great deal for the combo- highly recommend!

Be cautious first time users!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved the product when I got it. I used it 4 days in a row not ever using retinol before. …. 5th day didn’t use it because when I’d moisturize with stuff I used daily started burning I knew I had to give it a break. My face was so red and irritated. My skin was rough and peeling and again really red. I reached out and they asked if I’d return it and I’d get my money back but I’m giving it a shot once again maybe because I had never used it. So once a week and I shall see.
