Love it!

I have been using KS for 12 years. I look 10 years younger thanks to Kate. I use most of her line. I love this Retinol, Vitamin C and moisturizer formula. Makes my skin feel smooth, hydrated and plump in the morning. My favorite moisturizer for nighttime.

BEWARE!!!

I bought this bc one of the employees at the makeup counter told me it was her fav "cant live without product". I bought the Overnight Bright set with serum and moisturizer during the holidays last year. I tried them both then, one on one day and one the next and had a terrible, blistering experience then (so no, I am not sure why I used it again but...) I researched it and came to the conclusion that I used them too close together. I just came across the box in my cabinet (still brand new of course) and thought I would try just the moisturizer and it was WORSE this time with only one application of just the moisturizer. Of course, its been almost a year so I feel like I cant return it, but the worst part is I don't know what kind of damage it has done to my skin. It is hot, swollen and texture is bumpy...looks blistered and feels AWFUL!!! I would hate for anyone else to have this experience without knowing the risks...everyone is different for sure but in my opinion, whatever this should do, it is not worth the risk.

Kate Always Delivers!

Best Retinol product you can get with out Rx. I prefer this to prescripton retinoids because it's a bit gentler and includes Vitamin C. Feels very nice on the skin.

Makes my skin so bright!

I was a little worried it would be too drying for me with the active ingredients, but it’s surprisingly hydrating. I use it with my dermalquench and wake up smoother and brighter every morning!

Moisturizer cream

I have enjoyed many Kate Somerville products over the years but have little experience with this type of cream that includes retinol. I have super sensitive skin. I feel this moisturizer has an unusual scent but do feel it provides a fresh look in the morning. I am only using it every other day as my cheeks felt a little tingly at times. Every other day works better for me. Wish the cream didn’t have the unusual scent as it isn’t pleasant.

Beneficial and Smells Heavenly

I am a firm believer in using Vitamin C as a part of my skin care routine. I discovered Kate’s C plus retinol by sheer luck and am glad I did. I use it every other day and it keeps my face glowing.

don't recommend

Don't recommend. Worsened skin, irritated further, and dried it up. I used it daily for about ~5 weeks with no positive benefit. There's better products out there by actual physicians.

Retinol Vitamin C Moisturizer Cream

I really wanted to like this moisturizer, but it definitely didn't like me. I applied it at night and woke up the next morning with rashes and burn like marks on my face and my neck. It didn't burn when I applied it at night, but my face did not look good the next day. The rashes/burn marks were worse than sun burn. Also, at first I was worried that it might be the Clarins' serum that I had been using, so I waited about a month for my face and neck to heal... plus, for my skin to go back to normal to try this again. Low and behold, the same thing happened. It was not a good idea, but I wanted to give this moisturizer the benefit of the doubt. I'm just glad that Nordstrom's return policy is awesome and I was able to return it after 45+ days.

smells like crap

I’ve only used for two days so far and it seems to work well from a moisturization perspective but I can’t stand the smell of this cream...it smells like a wet sock. I’ve debated returning the product just for the smell alone.

Life Changing

This product is incredible. I originally received a sample of KS products and this product was by far my favorite — i had to get a full size! It drastically improved my skin within the first few uses and continues to help my skin maintain a healthy glow and prevent break outs.

Multifunctional

I love this product. The plus side is also that it is multifunctional. It has Vitamin C and retinol in it. I do have to say that if you have a sensitive skin, I don't know if you should use this during the day. Also always use an SPF after, but this is a powerful product.

Instant difference in my skin!

I’m so impressed with this product. I noticed a distinct difference in my skin the morning after I first used this cream. It was much smoother and felt tighter and softer. Would definitely recommend! I’m a liver of skincare and beauty products and it rare nowadays that I’m this impressed but this product is really fabulous!
