Kate Somerville Retinol Vitamin C Moisturizer – Overnight Anti-Aging Cream 1.7 fl oz, Brightens & Firms

Kate Somerville Retinol Vitamin C Moisturizer is an overnight anti-aging face cream that combines retinol and vitamin C to visibly smooth, firm and brighten skin while you sleep.

Formulated in Kate Somerville’s clinic, this 1.7 fl oz night cream blends two gold-standard actives—retinol and ascorbic acid—with hydrating and soothing ingredients for a targeted evening treatment. The lightweight texture absorbs easily, delivering resurfacing and brightening benefits without heavy residue. Use it as part of your evening routine and pair with daytime SPF. Below are the most common shopper questions answered to help you decide if this cream fits your skin goals.

How does this moisturizer improve texture and reduce the look of fine lines?

The formula pairs retinol—an established resurfacing ingredient—with supporting hydrators to help smooth skin over time. Regular nightly application encourages cell turnover while hyaluronic acid restores moisture to plump and soften the skin surface.

• Contains retinol for gentle exfoliation and smoother texture
• Hyaluronic acid replenishes hydration to reduce crepe-like appearance
• Lightweight cream absorbs quickly for single-step nighttime use

Will the vitamin C brighten my complexion and help with uneven tone?

Yes—pure ascorbic acid in the blend targets dullness and helps promote a more luminous look. Combined with retinol, the dual approach supports a clearer, more even complexion when used consistently.

• Ascorbic acid (pure vitamin C) helps address lackluster skin and uneven tone
• Synergistic ingredients support visible radiance without heavy oils
• Recommended for nightly use with daytime sun protection

Is this product suitable for sensitive or younger skin?

The moisturizer is crafted as an effective yet lightweight treatment suited for a range of skin types, but sensitivity to retinol varies. If you have sensitive skin, start with alternate-night use and apply a thin layer; consult a dermatologist if unsure.

• Light, non-greasy texture reduces potential for pore-clogging
• Begin with limited frequency to assess tolerance to retinol
• Free of mineral oil, parabens, phthalates, SLES and SLS

How should I incorporate this into my skincare routine for best results?

Apply a thin, even layer to cleansed face and neck in the evening. Because retinol can increase sun sensitivity, pair this nighttime treatment with a broad-spectrum SPF daily and avoid combining with other strong actives without professional guidance.

• Use nightly as directed or gradually increase frequency
• Follow with daytime SPF every morning to protect renewed skin
• Can be layered under serums if skin tolerates multiple actives

Who this is for: This Kate Somerville Retinol Vitamin C Moisturizer is designed for anyone seeking a clinically informed overnight treatment that targets dullness, uneven texture and early signs of aging. It’s ideal for shoppers wanting a clinic-strength formula in a lightweight cream—especially those prepared to introduce retinol gradually and commit to daily sun protection. If you prefer fragrance-free, gentle retinoids, or have concerns about sensitivity, patch-test first or consult a skincare professional to tailor usage to your needs.
