If you aren’t familiar, Kate Somerville is both a luxury skincare brand and the name of its founder, a renowned aesthetician. Having suffered with eczema and lupus-related skincare issues, the products that Somerville curates are designed to be suitable for even the most sensitive of skin types. This means that whether you’re looking at an anti-ageing cream or an exfoliating acid, all of the formulas from Kate Somerville should – on paper – sit well on irritation-prone complexions.
The brand’s retinol vitamin C moisturiser (was £69.99, now £39.99, Idealworld.tv) is a cult product and a favourite of ours. When testing a selection of the best retinol serums and creams, beauty editor Lucy Partington described the multi-purpose hydrator as her top pick for pigmentation.
Naturally, when a luxury product earns an impressive four-and-a-half out of five rating, it’s hard to ignore. Even more so when that very moisturiser is being offered at a rare 40 per cent discount. Scroll on to learn more about the product and how to shop the deal right now.
