Kate Somerville ExfoliKate Intensive Exfoliating Treatment 0.5 fl oz — Salicylic & Lactic Acid, 2-Minute Facial

ExfoliKate Intensive Exfoliating Treatment is a fast-acting facial scrub that combines physical, chemical, and enzymatic exfoliation to refine texture and help minimize the look of pores and fine lines in minutes.

This concentrated 0.5 fl oz treatment was developed from the signature facial at Kate Somerville’s Hollywood clinic and formulated to give visible resurfacing effects at home. Its blend of salicylic acid (BHA), lactic acid (AHA), fruit enzymes and gentle scrub particles supports skin renewal while botanical soothers reduce irritation. Use it once or twice weekly as a targeted step in your routine to polish skin and improve how makeup sits.

How does this scrub actually resurface skin so quickly?

The formula works on three levels: physical abrasion loosens dull surface cells, chemical exfoliants dissolve bonds between dead cells, and enzymes further lift away residue. The combined actions accelerate visible smoothing in a short two-minute treatment window without needing lengthy procedures.

• Physical: fine silica particles provide controlled buffing to reveal fresher skin.
• Chemical: lactic acid supports surface renewal while salicylic acid penetrates pores for clearer texture.
• Enzymatic: fruit enzymes break down dead cells gently for even results.

Will this help with pores, fine lines, and crow’s feet?

Regular, limited use can improve the appearance of texture irregularities and fine lines by removing the dull outer layer of skin and promoting a smoother surface. Clinical testing reported high rates of improvement after a single application in appearance-related measures, though ongoing use is recommended for maintenance.

• Targets visible roughness to make pores appear less pronounced.
• Helps smooth fine lines by revealing newer skin beneath.
• Designed for short contact time to reduce irritation risk when used as directed.

How should I use the treatment safely in my routine?

Apply to clean, wet skin and gently massage for about 30 seconds, then leave on for up to two minutes before rinsing. Because it contains active acids, limit use to once or twice a week and follow with sunscreen during the day to protect newly exposed skin.

• Use on damp skin for even distribution and effective exfoliation.
• Massage briefly, then allow up to two minutes before rinsing thoroughly.
• Wear SPF daily and avoid overuse to minimize sensitivity.

What’s inside the formula and what’s left out?

The formula pairs lactic acid and salicylic acid with soothing aloe, honey and vitamin E, plus silica for texture. It’s free from mineral oil, parabens, phthalates, SLES and SLS to align with many ingredient preferences.

• Active acids: lactic acid (AHA) and salicylic acid (BHA) for multi-level exfoliation.
• Soothers and antioxidants: aloe vera, honey, vitamin E to balance the exfoliation.
• Clean-expecting exclusions: no mineral oil, parabens, phthalates, SLES or SLS.

Who is this for: ExfoliKate Intensive is suited for people seeking a professional-strength resurfacing step in a home regimen—particularly those tackling rough texture, congested pores, or the look of fine lines. It is formulated for spot treatments once or twice weekly and works best for skin that tolerates chemical exfoliants. If you have very sensitive or compromised skin, consult a skincare professional before use.
