NEW! KATE SOMERVILLE KATECEUTICALS RANGE AND 25% OFFER | AD

I’ve been asked relentlessly about the new KateCeuticals range recently. When one of my favourite brands from one of my MOST favourite people release a new range, the interest is understandably high.

At her Skin Health Experts Clinic on Melrose, Kate and her team have been treating signs of ageing on faces of all ages and all skin types and conditions for over a decade. Again taking from the needs of her clients, Kate is releasing KateCeuticals with those of us that are slightly older in mind..*dances a jig*

This new peptide-powered age repair system brilliantly reduces the appearance of wrinkles or collagen and elastin-depleted skin (waves) with expertly formulated blends of active ingredients to comprehensively tackle the multiple signs of skin ageing.

Why peptides?
Your body makes collagen naturally, but over time, and especially as we near menopause (and well beyond), collagen production hugely decreases, which causes your skin to look drier, more lined and with a noticeable lack of definition.

Peptides are amino acids and are the building blocks to our skin’s support structure. They act on the skin like bricks filling the gaps in scaffolding. By adding peptides into your skincare routine, you can stimulate your skin to make more collagen leading to firmer, brighter, fresher looking skin.

There is more in-depth info on the individual products below, but if you’re here to hijack the code, knock yourself out!

Apply Total Repair Cream after Lifting Serum or on top of your serum of choice. Can obviously be used on its own if that is your preference. My most-asked question about this moisturiser is how it compares to PeptideK8: While they are similar formulas with slight ingredients tweaks, I feel the Total Repair Cream is slightly richer than PeptideK8 and is therefore probably going to be enjoyed by a slightly drier, and maybe older skin.
