Review! Kate Somerville Goat Milk Cream

If you are a fan of celebrity gossip then you have probably already heard about Kate Somerville. Apart from being the facialist to the stars, blah blah blah, she is also a very knowledgeable skin specialist. A few years back I read her book "Complexion Perfection" and was intrigued. Then I read multiple rave reviews on her products from Caroline Hirons on her blog Beauty Mouth and decided to take the plunge. By the way, if you don't know Caroline Hirons is a UK skincare specialist and if she recommends something people listen. I highly recommend her blog.
On to the review!!!
Kate Somerville Goat Milk Cream



The first thing I'm going to say is that this is my 2nd tub of this cream which says a lot. I typically bounce from one miracle product to the next and am never 100% satisfied.

I have a normal/combination skin type that is extremely acne prone and battled adult acne for many years. I need a cream that will not block my pores, that is moisturizing and makes me look like I've slept more that the few hours my 3 month old allows. This cream does all of the above.

Now some specifics.
The texture of this cream is nice and light and it imparts a nice glow onto the skin.
No detectable scent.
The packaging is an ingenious airtight tub that releases product when you press down on the top.
Like this

1.7oz/50ml of product
$55 USD
The price may be high for some but you only need a half a pump to cover your entire face. 
Unfortunately I threw away the box already so I can't show you the ingredients but they are really good; it does actually have goat milk in it which has been used for centuries as a skin treatment. 

In conclusion I highly recommend this cream. I do feel I need a serum layered underneath in the dead of winter in MN but for any other season it is a great moisturizer. Since using this cream I have had no breakouts and my skin has a glow to it. 

I've just received her Quench Oil-Free Hydrating Serum and will be posting a review on it after a few weeks of using it. 
And Kate Somerville products are not tested on animals! 

This product is available at Sephora or on KateSomerville.com
