Kate Somerville ExfoliKate Intensive Exfoliating Treatment — 2 fl oz, AHA/BHA + enzymes for smoother texture and refined pores

ExfoliKate Intensive Exfoliating Treatment is a 2 fl oz super facial scrub that combines physical, chemical and enzymatic exfoliants to polish skin texture and help refine the look of pores after one use.

This concentrated treatment from Kate Somerville brings a multi-action resurfacing approach—mechanical beads, AHA (lactic acid), BHA (salicylic acid) and fruit enzymes—so you can use a single product to clarify, smooth and brighten skin. Formulated in the brand’s Hollywood clinic, the 2 fl oz jar is designed for intermittent use in a routine to avoid over-exfoliation while delivering visible texture improvements.

How does this treatment clarify texture without irritating skin?

The formula layers three exfoliation types: tiny silica particles for physical polishing, lactic acid for gentle chemical resurfacing, and fruit enzymes to loosen dead skin cells. Aloe, honey and vitamin E provide soothing and antioxidant support to reduce sting and dryness commonly associated with stronger peels.

• Physical: silica beads for immediate smoothness
• Chemical: lactic acid (AHA) to lift dull surface cells
• Enzymatic: fruit enzymes to break down excess keratin
• Soothers: aloe, honey and vitamin E to calm skin

When and how often should I use the exfoliating scrub?

Use ExfoliKate once or twice weekly depending on your skin’s tolerance and sensitivity. Apply to a clean, wet face, massage gently for about 30 seconds, then leave on up to 2 minutes before rinsing; avoid daily use to prevent over-exfoliation.

• Frequency: 1–2 times per week
• Method: massage 30 seconds, leave up to 2 minutes
• Best timing: evening or morning, followed by sunscreen if used daytime
• Patch test recommended for sensitive skin

What improvements can I expect after one treatment?

Clinical testing from the brand reports rapid improvements in texture and the appearance of fine lines for many users after a single application. Results vary by skin type and consistency, but most people notice a smoother surface, clearer pores and brighter tone immediately after rinsing.

• Immediate: smoother skin surface and refined feel
• Short-term: brighter complexion and reduced roughness
• With repeated use: improved pore appearance and texture

Is this safe for acne-prone or sensitive skin?

The inclusion of salicylic acid makes this formula suitable for blemish-prone skin that tolerates BHA, while lactic acid offers a milder AHA option. However, the combination of physical beads and acids can be too intense for very sensitive or rosacea-prone skin—start with a patch test and reduce frequency if stinging occurs.

• Acne-prone: salicylic acid helps unclog pores
• Sensitive: perform a patch test first
• Avoid combining with other strong actives on the same day

Who is this for: ExfoliKate Intensive Exfoliating Treatment is ideal for people seeking a clinic-inspired at-home resurfacing step—those with dull texture, enlarged-looking pores or early fine lines who want a targeted scrub to use weekly. If you have very sensitive, compromised or prescription-treated skin, consult a dermatologist before using. Follow with hydration and sun protection after treatment for best results.
