Kate Somerville ExfoliKate Daily Exfoliating Foaming Cleanser, 8 oz — Glycolic & Lactic Acids for Smooth, Refined Texture

Kate Somerville ExfoliKate Cleanser is a daily foaming face wash that combines glycolic and lactic acids with fruit enzymes to gently exfoliate, cleanse pores, and leave skin feeling softer and refreshed.

This clinically informed cleanser was developed in Kate Somerville’s clinic and is formulated to refine skin texture without stripping essential moisture. It blends chemical exfoliants (AHAs) with natural fruit enzymes to lift dead skin cells and dissolve surface oils, helping makeup apply more smoothly and skin look more luminous. The lightweight foam rinses clean and is free from mineral oil, parabens, phthalates, SLES and SLS for a modern, everyday routine.

How does this cleanser exfoliate without over-drying?

The formula pairs glycolic and lactic acids—two alpha hydroxy acids known for loosening bonds between dead skin cells—with papaya, pineapple and pumpkin enzymes that gently digest surface buildup. Together they support physical-looking smoothness while the foaming base rinses away residue, so skin isn’t left feeling tight or stripped.

• Glycolic and lactic acids for chemical exfoliation
• Papaya, pineapple and pumpkin enzymes for natural enzymatic action
• Foaming texture that removes oil and impurities without harsh scrubbing

Will it help reduce the appearance of pores and improve texture?

Yes—regular use helps clear pore-clogging debris and smooth rough patches, making pores appear refined and skin surface more even. In an independent clinical study, users reported that their skin felt cleaner and softer after a single use, indicating both immediate and cumulative texture benefits when used consistently.

• Clinically tested to cleanse and soften after one use
• Unclogs pores by removing dirt, oil and makeup residues
• Promotes a smoother surface for makeup application

How do I use ExfoliKate Cleanser in my daily routine?

Incorporate this cleanser into morning and night regimens. Wet the face, massage a small amount into skin for about 30 seconds to allow the AHAs and enzymes to work, then rinse thoroughly. Follow with your usual toner, serums and moisturizer, and apply sunscreen during the day to protect freshly exposed skin.

• Use on wet skin, massage 30 seconds, then rinse
• Safe for daily morning and evening use for most skin types
• Pair with SPF in daytime routines to protect exfoliated skin

Are there ingredients I should be aware of?

The active components include glycolic and lactic acids plus fruit-derived enzymes—effective exfoliants that are purposely combined for clinical efficacy. The formula omits mineral oil, parabens, phthalates, SLES and SLS, lowering the risk of certain irritants while delivering professional-grade results. If you have sensitive skin, introduce use gradually and consider patch testing.

• Key actives: glycolic acid, lactic acid, papaya, pineapple, pumpkin enzymes
• Free from mineral oil, parabens, phthalates, SLES and SLS
• Start slowly if your skin is reactive—patch testing recommended

Who is this for? This cleanser suits people seeking a clinically developed daily exfoliant that balances chemical and enzymatic action to refresh and refine skin texture. It works well for those wanting visible smoothing and cleaner pores without heavy physical scrubs, and for anyone looking to add a professional-grade step to their morning and evening skincare routines. If you have highly sensitive or compromised skin, consult a dermatologist before regular use.
