A Glimpse of Kate

During the summer, I had the delightful privilege of being able to sit down with anti-aging skin care maven Kate Somerville at her ethereal Melrose Place Medi-Skin Clinic to learn all about her newest skin care innovations and latest product launches. It was such a treat to be in this beautiful and intimate setting with Kate (along with some other key members of the the media) and listen to her share her skin care philosophy and her enthusiasm about the the types of transformational products she is able to create.

I have to say that Kate is a fabulous, down to earth, inspiring woman who is authentically passionate about giving women beautiful skin–and speaking of amazing skin you should see her skin IRL, smooth, even toned, youthful, radiant and flawless! No wonder Hollywood insiders flock to Kate for her genuine demeanor, amazing treatments and transformational products (FYI for you star struck types: When I was driving away from the clinic, I almost ran over the swarm of paparazzi who were running down the street and chasing the starlet who just left the KS clinic–only in LA–looked like Renee Zellweger to me).

Since meeting Kate this summer, I have been trying a couple of her newest products and I’d like to tell you about these innovative products and my impressions of them. 

CytoCell Dermal Energizing Treatment 

This innovative treatment contains the cutting edge Peptide P-199, which is a synthetic peptide that stimulates stem cell activity and restores the skin with new energized cells. Peptide P-199 stimulates collagen production, enhances skin tissue and cellular regeneration, improves skin tone and radiance, improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, helps skin look smoother, and promotes the birth of healthy new skin cells.

All I can say is WOW! This product really delivers rejuvenation, radiance and overall freshness to the skin–no wonder stem cells are all the rage in the skin care industry. I love the lavender/oxygen smell and how my skin immediately drinks up this delightful cream on contact. I use this cream at night and when I wake up in the morning, my skin feels smoother and looks clearer and brighter. Over time, I have noticed a softening of fine lines and a more youthful look to my overall complexion.

Neck Tissue Repair 

This cream combines Advanced Moisture Complex, peptides and cutting edge technology to provide superior hydration for the neck and decollete. This advanced cream helps reduce the depth, density and volume of wrinkles on the neck and chest; it hydrates and prevents water loss; it improves skin firmness, skin tone and elasticity; and it provides superior skin smoothing properties.

While admittedly, I do have those pesky annoying deep horizontal lines on my neck, I have never really been all that diligent about using a neck cream, until now. Kate’s Neck Repair cream smells fresh and slightly fruity/floral and almost immediately it makes my neck and chest feel soft and supple. This is one of those products that you have to use consistently over time to see results, and since I have been using it, my neck lines have noticeably softened and my neck and chest look firmer and more supple.
