Details & care

What it is: An iconic cult-favorite intensive exfoliating treatments in a jumbo size bottle.

What it does: In just two minutes twice a week, it delivers smoother texture and minimizes pores, while visibly reducing the appearance of crow’s feet and other lines. This gentle resurfacing treatment also preps skin to better absorb the rest of your regimen, making every product and ingredient that follows more effective.

Research results:
In an independent study on 32 participants after one use:
- 97% showed a highly significant improvement in the appearance of pores
- 94% showed a highly significant improvement in skin texture
After four weeks:
- 100% showed a highly significant improvement in the appearance of crow's feet, fine lines and wrinkles

How to use: Use 1-2 times per week at morning or evening. Apply a thin, even layer to a clean, wet face, massaging in a circular motion for 30 seconds. Leave on for up to 2 minutes. Rinse and gently pat dry. This product may cause the skin to tingle and flush slightly for a short time. For sensitive skin, leave on for less than a minute.

Well Loved For a Reason

I think that this is the product that really put Kate S on the map outside of her reputation amongst the Hollywood elite, and with good reason! Please keep in mind that I am writing based upon my own experiences and tolerance to active ingredients. What could be mild to one person can burn someone else! This is my "mid-level" exfoliator, a nice combo of both chemical and physical exfoliant. I use about 2x a week. I have an extremely light enzyme cleanser for daily use, and a much more potent AHA/BHA treatment I use once a week. As a retinol user, I think it's important to gently exfoliate daily in order to avoid flaking. My Exfolikate works wonders. I use it in the shower where my pores are open, scrub gently, then leave it on while I wash my hair. The results are great and I love how my serums absorb so quickly after I use it. It's pricy, and could easily be too powerful for newbies to chemical exfoliation, so I strongly suggest you get a sample - enough for 3 uses - to see how well it works for you and if your skin adapts to it. I really love it, and while I won't rule out trying something else, I know that I can always fall back on this!

It is really severe

I used this product once and my face got really red, swollen, and puffy. My face has never been worse in my life, it stings and I am planning on going to a dermatologist because of it.

Must have exfoliater

This is my second bottle of Exfolikate. I absolutely love the smell, so spa-like, and luxurious to use. I see an immediate difference in my skin after using. When I want a glow, I will exfoliate with this and my skin looks fresh and renewed. I am uncomfortable buying expensive skincare products but this a a must for me, and this big bottle should last me close to a year!

Not as strong an exfoliator as the name sounds

I use the Clarisonic regularly, use AHA products, done chemical peels, and have used scrubs for decades. This product for me was very mild. I think maybe for someone new to exfoliating, this might be considered intensive. I will not re-purchase.

Fantastic Product

I initially used got sample of this product. I liked it so well I went out and bought it the 2 oz tube. I then had my mom try. She liked it so well I go it for her for mothers day. When I saw the 5oz size on sale for the anniversary sale I immediately bought. This product leaves my skin with an amazing glow. It exfoliates well but is not too harsh!

I use this religiously

I’m 52 and most days feel invisible. I’ve been piecing together a skincare regimen with different products for years. I started to feel like I needed to take my routine more serious since I’m not getting any younger. I had not used KS products before and decided to give it a try during the anniversary sale because it was almost too good to pass up. I purchased the intensive exfoliating treatment, lifting eye cream, and the age arrest cream. After each use my skin looks and feels great and refreshed and tighter with a beautiful glow.

NOT for people with any skin sensitivity

I tried a sample of this and was impressed. I ordered the product and used it sparingly, a little goes a long way. My skin was very irritated in several spots the next AM. I will be returning this product.

Repeat purchase

Love this. Repeat purchase - when I started re-using, noted some "purging" with some initial breakouts, however with continued use, my skin is sooo much smoother with this!!

Kate Somerville Intensive Exfoliating Treatment

I decided to try this product not only because I wanted a treatment for the enlarged pores on my nose but also because it was a great deal at the Anniversary Sale. It ended up being a good decision. This product did give a tingling sensation to my skin when it was first applied after I took a hot shower first. I was happy about the tingling because I knew that meant it was working! I was impressed at the results after I rinsed it off of my face. Wow, the pores on my nose were tiny and smooth. I would describe my facial skin as radiant after one application. That's impressive. So impressive that I purchased it as a surprise gift for my daughter who lives in Chicago. I can't wait for her to receive it and try it. I will continue using this product and would highly recommend it. I may buy it again before the Anniversary Sale ends to use as a backup. It's that good!

Fast exfoliation!!

I love this stuff! So great to have a 3 min facial instead of the usual 15 min. Tingles on contact (which I love but I don’t have sensitive skin) and leaves you smooth!
