I saw lots of reviews raving about this product and now I know why! This is by far one of the best exfoliates I have ever used. Love the way my skin feels after I use it and it has the perfect size bead in it. I use it 2-3 times a week.

I so look forward to using my Kate Somerville Exfolikate. It feels so good. I really enjoy the scent. And my face looks and feels bright and awake after I rinse it off. My face feels much smoother after using this product and then the serums and moisturizers work better because all the dead skin cells are removed allowing these products to absorb into the skin. It's a keeper!

I'm not sure what more I can add to everyone's glowing reviews of this product. It really is the best. I've tried a lot of different products and and I always come back to this for my weekly exfoliation. Exfoliation really is the key to my clear skin. If I start with clean balanced skin (i use the gentle cleanser) and clog-free pores (from using ExfoliKate) then there's no reason for acne or razor bumps to form. If you need a little more exfoliation midweek try the ExfoliKate Gentle. I do, so that's my two cents.

This is a great product! I got it as a trial, and I used it once and already my pores appear smaller and my face is so smooth! My face usually gets dried out after using exfoliates, but my face isn't dry with this one. I just bought an acne kit and I can't wait to receive it! I think I've found a new skin care line for myself!

I use ExfoliKate on my skin and love: (1) how it feels on my skin; (2) how it smells; and (3) the end results. There simply is no other product like this one. It's addicting to use - at least it is for me. Thanks, Kate!
4/22/13
This is my favorite Kate product! The second this pasty substance comes out of the tube an invigorating scent of just PURE clean fills the room. I love this stuff. The smell isn't the best part, after using this my face feels and looks clean. My complexion glows after washing this off, my pores are much smaller, my skin is velvety smooth. LOVE!!!!
another side note: great way to get the "pregnant glow" with out being pregnant ;)

I absolutely love Exfolikate. I actually have very sensitive skin and I know she does make a gentle version but I tried the original because that is the only one available in travel size and I have had no irritation or problems with this product whatsoever. It smells amazing like pumpkin and it feel wonderful and works so well on my skin. I notice a huge difference in the texture of my skin on days I use this product vs the days that I don't. I use it about every other day or so and it makes me skin appear brighter and smoother and also helps with some of my redness. I recommend this product 100% it is every bit worth the money. A little also goes a long way you only need the tiniest amount for your whole face. My travel size lasted me months.

I found this ExfoliKate product while shopping at Sephora. I tried it that evening and instantly noticed a difference in my skin. It looked as it does after some of the best facials I ever had. My skin was supple and smooth as a baby's bottom. In fact I loved it so much I convinced my husband to let me try it on him. He did not complain. It may be a bit pricey but worth every penny.

My skin never feels dry or tight after using this. My skin felt smoother and softer after the first use. I tend to have breakouts about once a month but with regular this has kept the acne at bay. My skin can be sensitive but while my skin is red immediately after use the redness clears up quickly. I use it at night so my face is not red at the start of the day.

I read that in your 20's it's extremely important to exfoliate! I tried this product 2 years ago and I am hooked. ExfoliKate is one of my favorite Kate Somerville's products. It leaves my skin smooth and I can feel that it takes away all of the dead skin. I use it once a week. My husband also loves it, it has really changed our skin for the best. My skin feels smooth and young.

I am new to Kate's products. I saw this on an informercial in the middle of the night. I went to my local sephora to try the next time i went to visit was surprised they had the products. I tried the sample and went back the next day to buy. I have been using it ever since! I hope to get to know the rest of the products but love this. Really gentle and your skin looks renewed! Great for your late 30's to get the glow back!

This is a great exfoliating mask and will leave your skin smooth and clear. It warms up quickly and can sting if you leave it on too long but it is effective and will keep your skin clear with regular use. They use this as a pre-extraction treatment at the Kate Somerville clinic. Being able to use it at home is almost like getting a mini facial.

This was the first Kate product I purchased when I first became her client over 8 years ago. It was called "Kate in a Jar" and promised to make your skin look and feel like you'd just been to her spa for a facial. This product absolutely delivers on that promise. I am OBSESSED with ExfoliKate. It smells delicious (tangy and fruity and natural) and makes your skin GLOW! I tell friends often about Kate's products but this is my favorite to recommend because in the busy world we live in, what girl (or guy!) doesn't want to look like they've just been to the spa every day?!

This was the first KS product I purchased. I have tried so many products, and at one time, I was going for facials every other week. Periodic spa treatments can be beneficial, but if the product line isn't great, what good is it? I wish a ks spa was near me because I feel the line is amazing! From the moment this product touched my face, I was eager to get it off just to see the results. I knew something was happening. I have now been using it for 6 weeks, and I am truly, truly impressed with the results. I have always suffered from oily, uneven skin. This product has helped me immensely. It has made my skin look great, and it continues to improve. Thank you Kate! I have finally found a line that works.

Since our skin is the largest organ of the body, and dies on a daily basis, I daily practice dry skin brushing; however, my facial skin routine is a tad different because of the face's more sensitive nature.
This has to be one of my favourite face-exfoliation treatments. If you're not exfoliating your face, then you'll most likely have dead skin on your face that will clog pores and prevent your other treatments from seeping into your skin and giving you the necessary benefits. Therefore, if you don't exfoliate you're losing money because you're wasting your products!! Exfoliating will clear away dead skin and ensure a fresher complexion regardless of what you do afterwards (unless you do something silly like sunburn your face afterwards---that would be a no-no ;)
Kate you really know how to make the BEST exfoliation treatments--ExfoliKate ;) This particular exfoliation treatment is so fabulous because it has the fine grains to sweep away dead skin and then has this amazing aroma to make it a special treat for the senses as well!! I love to use a soft brush with this treatment to multiply my effects (I wouldn't suggest this for those who have sensitive skin), and after using I know my further beauty treatments are not just sitting on the surface of my skin, but getting deep into my pores to do their magic.
(I like to use this product more than once a week because my skin is not too sensitive. Also, some people may experience mild blemishes when first using an exfoliation treatment on their face--this means that you are eliminating toxins--I suggest giving this product a week or two before you say, "this doesn't work for me because it made my skin breakout," or try the sensitive exfoliation formula [see my suggestion on the right of my review] because, in my experience, breakouts are usually a sign that the product is working/removing toxins ;)

Long story short, i got a sample a while ago and used it and loved it. Then i bought it used it for awhile like 3 times a week then stopped and tried something new. I ran out of the other stuff so i decided to finish this off before buying something else. WELL, i will be buying this again. You dont realize how well it works untill you use something else then come back. It was like i got used to my glowing skin and thought it wasnt working, and it took like 6 months for my skin to get yucky again and then in less then a week my skin was glowing again. I mean to the point that my co-workers said your glowing and i look in the mirror and think "why did i stop using this" biggest mistake ever. Its a bit pricey for every day use but its so worth it.

Initially, I was hesitant about trying a product that advised that redness would likely occur, and while I did experience a brief moment of being flushed after my first use of ExfoliKate, I couldn't believe how amazing my skin felt. I expected there to be a harsher scrubbing feeling but it was gentle on my skin and still managed to do away with all of my pesky dry patches. My skin care products seemed to melt into my newly smooth skin. This product is responsible for the glow that I now carry.
I use this product 1-2 times per week, and it keeps my skin perfectly clear and as soft as it can be. It's also next to impossible to use up this product, as you only require a tiny bit for it to be incredibly effective. I don't want to imagine my skin or my life without ExfoliKate.

I first tried this product as a sample from Nordstrom. I loved it so much I bought it and I am now almost done with it. I use it in the shower and I just leave it on while I'm massaging my shampoo in. I think this really helped with my skin. It doesn't act up as much anymore and it definitely feels really good after using it. I don't get any redness after I use it, I guess some people do.

My skin feels refreshed and new after I use this. I only use it once a week because it's quite expensive but the results last - my skin feels super soft and fresh after use. don't use if your skin is irritated or super dry (maybe the sensitive would be okay if it is). i find it burns a bit more on the apple of my cheeks than my t-zone but i try to minimize that by applying this to my cheeks last.

The enzymes will do the scrubbing for you! I can't believe that it just does it for you and you don't need to scrub it in. And after you use it (and tone / moisturize), you look like you just got a facial and your skin looks pampered.

This is my absolute go to product... I would rather use this than go get a facial...My face has never been smoother and my pores have never been smaller... Seriously a life saver! I would never purchase a exfoliator unless it was Exfolikate because the other ones are too harsh and destroy your face.

Exfolikate completely saved my skin. Over the holidays in 2011, I was visiting my mother and my facial skin became a scaly, patchy, rough, clogged and pimpled mess overnight! No matter what I used I could not get the dead skin off, and moisturizer just sat there and never went into my skin. I went to the nearest mall to her and bought the .5 oz size to try it out. I used it almost every day that trip and after a month of using it, the clogs I had deep down in my transparently pale skin were gone- and I was so pale you could see them inside my skin so they were very bothersome. After a few months, I still had not had a single breakout, and used to be extremely breakout prone. This product saved my skin, and is the best skincare product I have ever used to this day. I would never want to be without it. I get the 5 ounce autoshipped.

I found that the acne Exfolikate was too much to use more than once a week, so I purchased this in conjunction. This is a great product that I can use every other night and it leaves my skin glowing. Isn't harsh at all, and I literally noticed significantly softer skin after the first use. A little pricy but you really really really don't have to use very much of it for it to be effective. A nickel size at the most will do!

It is an expensive product, but the weekly use makes up for this remarkable product. I also love the fact that this is a grainy scrub yet is an enzyme exfoliator.

I thought I knew what exfoliation was before. I was wrong. This product is simply spectacular. My skin felt fresh and smooth - like it was breathing for the first time in years, and I definitely felt like I kept it clean before! Just don't exceed the 2-5 minute mark for leaving the product on your face. It's way too intense for that!

I use this product twice a week as recommended (i've used this for over a year now) and I can say that this is the real deal.
Pros:
--eliminates discoloration
--leaves skin very soft
--works great with other Kate Somerville products
--I tend to use it in the mornings when I've forgotten to wash off my old makeup (i.e. prevents breakouts from makeup use!)
Cons:
--use sparingly! runs out quickly
--sometimes i get some redness on my face after use. Goes away in a couple of minutes

This was the product that started my KATE addiction. I've been using it for years... I think it was the first Kate product I ever bought. It has become a staple in my routine ever since.
It's a warming, tingly, exfoliating treatment with a fine grit texture that isn't too hard on the skin. It's an instant revival for dull skin and promotes cell turn over as well as helps unclog pores. I use it about once or twice a week, my skin is too sensitive for more than that. I always follow with Quench, and either Goat's milk moisturizer or CytoCell dermal energizing treatment...
I recommend this for everyone, great skin needs to be exfoliated regularly, and problem skin needs it more for faster cell turnover. It made my skin brighter day one and has continued years later. It has improved the overall texture and clarity, especially when combined with all my other favorite Kate products.
A lot goes a long way with this product... And you have to build up the amount of time you leave it on... I have sensitive combination skin that is easily irritated or dried out, but I am very happy with this original formula because I love the almost spicy warm fruit enzymes working on my face & decollate... If you can't handle the strength there is a "gentle" version.
Thank you Kate!

This is an intensive exfoliator!!! It’s too intense for my skin. If you have any blemishes on your face at all, please avoid this product. When I applied the treatment to my face, it burned. It burned all over, but especially to the one blemish I had. Not mildly, much worse. So, if you have crystal clear skin and only need to exfoliate, this is a product for you.
I gave it 3 stars due to the burning sensation it caused as well as the price. After using it at home for a bit, this product seems overpriced for only 2 ounces.

This is the best face product. Ever. While, not completely natural (I went all natural/organic for a while and my face missed this the whole time) it's ingredients are natural over-all and are formulated for results. Oh yeah, and it WORKS. I'd been without this for a couple of years and then breakouts got bad and I decided to go back to the one thing i KNEW worked. This plus Anti-bac and Nourish and within days I could see my skin healing. Almost TWO years of frustration started to turn around again. Two months and breakouts are 90% gone and my skin is looking smooth and regaining the glow it used to have (really, the Kate Glow). I will NEVER be without this ever again. You will seriously see your skin be smoother, clearer, smaller pores, almost completely reduce blackheads and clogged pores with regular use. You'll never need another scrub/mask/peel.

This is the first Kate product that I tried, and I have been using it ever since. I love this product. Previously, I tried various products manufactured by other brands, but Exfolikate works so much better. It dissolves yucky blackheads and hence shrinks pores. After using it, my skin is smooth and clean. I cannot live without this product.
I also use the other Kate exfoliating products, all of which are excellent.

This is a great product that does what it claims, quickly and effectively exfoliates and makes a noticeable improvement to your skin's clarity.
My only issue is that at $85 a pop, it is simply too pricey!

I have been using this product for a while but when I first started using, about 2-3 times a week I would look in the mirror and say "I am having a good skin day" I finallly realized it was because I was using the Exfolikate. Love this product!

I have been using once a week for over one year now. Never been happier with my skin. Only takes a small amount for AMAZING results. Never had more compliments on my skin than with KS. Thanks Kate!! Oh, and it lasts forever. For what I used to pay for facials I decided to invest in good skin care with KS and I've never looked back.

Many years ago, I worked for a physician doing skincare. From experience, I had learned that there were two things absolutely necessary to obtain the best skin possible.... You need to exfoliate and moisturize. There was nothing like ExfoliKate back in the 70's and products were few and unreliable. I am 70 yrs. old and have been using this product since it was first introduced. I have shared it with my friends, my daughter, her friends and anyone who has asked me, "What do you use on your face?" If I could submit a makeup free photo with this review, I would gladly do it. I uses ExfoliKate twice a week, religiously, and it is the absolute best!

I just LOVE my ExfoliKate!!!! This stuff makes my skin so soft... I got one of the half OZ bottles, and then upgraded to the 5OZ size, which I just love!!! I use it once a week in the shower, and my skin is just so soft after. I have used other exfoliators and they didn't work nearly as well. This has all kinds of good stuff in it, and my skin feels so good...

This product will forever be a staple in my skin care wardrobe. There is nothing else like it. Leaves your skin soft, clean and absolutely glowing. Use 1x per week in combination with Kate's Clinic-To-Go™ Resurfacing Peel Pads. They are absolute must-haves!

ExfoliKate is one of my favourite Kate Somerville products. I use it once a week and my skin is so much smoother afterward. My skin is quite sensitive and turns red for an hour or so after using this product, so I should probably try ExfoliKate Gentle, but I really like the results from ExfoliKate.

This is heaven in a bottle! Literally this transforms my skin every time I use it. I feel like I just walked out of getting a facial after each use. It is that good! I have this gorgeous glow after I wear this... My Aunt asked me why my skin looked so good and I told her it was this and the CytoCell cream.. Now she is also a loyal Kate Somerville user.. This product is the best exfoliator and a little goes a long way. My 2oz bottle lasts about 4 months. It doesnt irritate my skin at all much but it does tingle a little. I have Combination Acne prone skin, and since incorporating this in my skincare regiment twice a week I've seen great results

I have used this exfoliator for quite a few months now and it really works well for me. However If there was anything I would say to be careful about is when you use it, would be to be careful around your eyes and or lips make sure you wash it off and do not let it sit on sensitive skin. At Least for my skin it can chap and dry some areas, i find it very strong and like to use it all over for full body scrub and exfoliate really works well.

This product really works to clean pores and decongest skin without drying skin out. I can't live without it.

Best exfoliant I have ever used, and I've tried lots of them. Makes my skin look years younger. Helps with sun damage!

I have struggled with mild/moderate adult acne for years. I have tried nearly every product on the market and Exfolikate is the first product that has really made a difference. I am convinced it's the enzymes in combination with the salycilic acid that works for my skin. . I use it every other day and it keeps my cystic acne under control. I know everyone's skin is different, but this product addresses a multitude of issues with its powerful exfoliation....if you are on the fence, try it, I a willing to bet you will love it as much as I do!

I started using Kate Somerville (KS) when a Sephora employee introduced me to the CytoCell eye cream. So, when I went to Napa for a bachelorette party and we went to Spa Solage, getting the signature KS facial was a no brainer. And I am so glad I did! After a great talk about my skin with the aesthetician, she decided that I could use some exfoliation and used this product. I have to say... it was one of the bigger "WOW!" beauty moments in my life and made me a KS convert on the spot. Exfolikate totally smoothed my skin without drying it out or causing too much stinging. The stinging is very mild (for me) and is something the aesthetician and the bottle says is normal. Now for the other surprising part. I have sensitive skin around my nose/cheek area that dries out way faster than my T-zone and, in general, my skin will turn bright red after any sort of intense treatment (chemical or physical); I believe it's called "writer's skin" because it's almost like you can draw on it. Well, this product does NOT turn my skin red even though I can tell it's doing its job. It leaves my skin smooth and soft, ready for moisturizer and any other treatment I happen to be putting on that day. Just an FYI, I do avoid overly dry areas (not necessarily those that dry out easy, just the areas that are already dry that day) and only leave it on for 45 sec, and only use it once a week. My aesthetician recommended I leave it on for 30 sec and work my way up as my skin adjusts and I believe that's a good way to start out, especially if you have some sensitive areas. She also recommended I only use a pea size amount (or a little less) and mix with a little water to sort of dilute it. So far so good! And this way it's going to last forever! But even if you have to use it full strength all over your face every time this product is worth it. Seriously. Give it a try and you'll see results immediately. How many beauty products can guarantee that?

This expoliator is amazing. It is like nothing I've ever used before. I have always been a loyal fan of some of the more upscale, natural brands (not drug store), but i"ve never experienced the softening, clarity, and glow I get with this product. I am almost 50, with occasional hormonal acne, and Kate products cleared my skin in a matter of days. My only complaint is the price, but I'll spend the money to get the product.

I have had trouble with my chin area for 3 yrs. My facial expert, could not clear it up. One to two treatments of this exfoliating item cleared my problem and it has not returned, going on 2 months. I love this stuff. I am so impressed with Kate's products. Did I mention Kate is my NEW FACIAL EXPERT from now on!!! Her items work!! I would also recommend her book. Great information.
6/13/12
Great stuff! Agree w/ all the reviews, but what's with these prices? @ $19 for the small tube, the next larger should be $76 (four times larger, four times the price, with me here?) So, why would anyone buy the middle size for $86? Just an odd thing here, and it bothers me, especially with such pricey items to begin with. Other than that--this product does rock!

I am so happy that I purchased this product. First of all I love the smell it smells very spa like and clean. I do like the green color. I really noticed a difference in my skin it looked cleaner and had a glow. It did burn when I gently rubbed it in but I like the fact that it burned because I feel it is doing it's job. Love it!! Thank you Kate for making it possible for people all over to get a treatment that you give your lucky clients.

this is the answer to home exfoliation, with spa results! this is a must have to get beautiful skin.

I have been using this product for years and am obsessed. It is a true miracle worked. There is nothing else like it. Thank you, Kate!
1/15/12
I bought this product expecting to see miraculous results..... but they just didn't happen for me. I have combination skin, and i certainly feel a great tingle and increased skin circulation, but it has worked no miracles for me.

Ive been hearing about exfolikate for awhile now on youtube and i thought hey this wont hurt to at least try it out. I got home and couldn't wait to use it right away. i use it in the shower because steam helps activate the ingredients....so i started to rub in circles for about 30 sec and then left it on my face for 2 minutes. after two minutes i rubbed my face in circlular motions for another 30 secs. at first i thought it was the product that dried and started peeling...NOPE that was all my dead skin on my face. it was gross but cool that it was pulling it all off my face. i then put my favorite vitamin c serum by avalon organics. my face felt smooth, clean, amazing. i ran around making my boyfriend feel my face. couldn't believe the results. there is a downside . im addicted to it and i have a tendancy to use it everyday which isnt good. ive been trying to cut back but my skin is much more clear then ever before. i had a scab on my forehead from burning myself with curlen iron and by the time i wiped exfolikate off the scab had dissolved. i put some neosporin on it afterwards and whala it was nearly gone.hope this in depth review helps. also the price is steep but well worth the results you'll experience. for ppl with sensitive skin please dont get intense version. get the gentle. thats all i can think of for now. good luck and hope you give this a chance.

I read so many reviews where people said ExfoliKate was painful or had a burning feeling to the point that I was afraid to try it. I took a deep breath and worked it into my skin as per the directions. You can feel it working immediately but there was no "pain" associated with this product in the way others had carried on about it. I can't believe I was such a chicken. Needless to say, the results are wonderful!
12/9/11
I am 18 and recieved a sample of this.i decided to try Kate Somerville products after seeing Kristen Bell's rave about Exfolikate in Seventeen magazine..SO glad I did. i have semi-sensitive skin and was a little hesitant about using this instead of Exfolikate Gentle..but it turned out fine. It stung while it was on, but I had no redness or anything when I took it off. I love the smell..it reminds me of cayenne and cinnamon. It has been a few hours and I can see a difference. My skin is SO soft, and seems brighter. I will definitely be adding this to my skincare routine.
11/30/11
I've been using Exfolikate for couple of weeks and I never gotten so many compliments about my skin. Random people would stop me to tell me how my skin is glowing. I thank Exfolikate for that! Its the only thing I have added to my beauty routine! Really happy to discover it!
11/18/11
No better product on Earth! I have very sensitive skin and struggle with eczema. I have tried so many products and find they either completely irritate my skin and cause my eczema to flare or they don't do enough. ExfoliKate (and I use Intensive) is awesome. My skin is glowing and gorgeous! Soft and beautiful. I won't ever go without this product! Kate's products have become as important has good groceries to me!
11/4/11
There will never be another product I like better than this. I switch things up sometimes but as for my exfoliation I will use this product until they stop making it!!!!! But please don't!!!!!!
9/28/11
I received a sample at Sephora and I am a total skincare junkie so I had to try it. Once I put it on.. I felt like my face was on fire.. it stung so much, my eyes started tearing!! I used it at night, and being that my face is so delicate, I was super red around my nose and on my cheeks. I followed it with a calming moisturizer and the next day I was GLOWING and my face looked absolutely amazing!! Totally worth the pain.. I will try the gentle version for sure!!!

Shauna, depending on how often you use ExfoliKate, the 2 oz tube should last about 2 months. It does address sun damage by increasing cell turnover to reveal glowing skin. Regular exfoliation will help to combat sun damage, but you MUST wear sunscreen every day, no matter what!
9/5/11
I have used every exfoliation product on the market, my favorite has been Origins Modern Friction. I bought a sample of Exfolikate at Sephora and couldn't believe the results!
The very next morning my skin appearance was clearly different, pores looked smaller and through out the day my normal shine was minimized.
Now after two weeks, the texture years of Acne has given me, has began to smooth....honestly, smooth!!
Thank you Kate!
8/22/11
How long does a 2oz tube (using 2-3x/wk) last? And I have sub damage (small brown spots) does it address that as well?
8/19/11
This Product does everything you would expect it do plus more. It definitely exfoliates your skin leaving it smooth and radiant. you should start off leaving it on for about 30 seconds then slowly move up to two minutes after you have been using it for a while. I alternate between this exfolikate and the other two in her line sensitive or acne depending on how my skin is feeling, but this one get's the crown on my list.

First off, I'm so glad this website offers ratings and reviews now! When I first tried this product all i wanted to do was tell everyone how AMAZING this product is.
I've struggled with severe acne that has left me with clusters of raised hypertrophic scars. i've tried everything from blue LED light therapy, to series of cortizone injections to break down the scar tissue and countless skincare products to try and smooth my skin. NONE OF THEM worked as quickly and effectively and as PAIN FREE as this! This is a miracle in a tube and should be sold in dermatologist offices everywhere. The stimulation of the exfoliating beads is gentle enough to not irritate my scars, but active enough to keep my blood circulating. The chemical peel portion has also helped slough off excess layers to reveal a reduction in the size and appearance of my scars. I've been using this product 1-2x a week for a month now and I've seen a HUGE improvement in the overall texture of my skin and and even my friends have been saying how much better my skin looks. Considering the fact that I've spent hundreds of dollars on invasive treatments to minimize my acne scars, this $85 bottle is a bargain. If your story sounds like mine, please please please try this!

Nothing compares to the instant-amazing effects ExfoliKate brings to the table when it comes to skin care! I use it twice a week and the results are healthy beautiful skin, thank you for this amazing product!
8/17/11
I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!!!!! I have been using it ever since it was in the jar (thanks for putting it in the tube!!!!) It literally is a miracle worker (much more than Anne Sullivan). I have shared this product with everybody I know and they all have the same reaction, which is to buy it asap. Actually, it's so good my sister just stole the product from me and sent me a picture of it in her shower and said she's holding it hostage.
It smells amazing and literally has transformed many faces, including my own, I now know what a proper exfoliator is meant to do. No other product compares!!!

I first came across this product on QVC in the discovery kit I feel I IN LOVE and that was 2years ago tonight I ordered the 5oz size in put my self on autoship I'm very serious about this product
8/17/11
I never expected to be spending money on exfoliators but here I am enjoying one 5oz tube after another. This seriously is the best product I have found and the only exfoliator I now use. Well worth the money, I have no sensitivity and enjoy the light tingle. My skin glows every time I use it.

I would always hear about Kate Somerville Skin Care through the many celebrities that use her products. I was in need of a new exfoliator so I picked up ExfoliKate after hearing so many wonderful reviews. They were ALL true! My skin has never looked or felt better and I am able to have that same glow that I see on the red carpet. My skin even looks great without makeup. After trying ExfoliKate I have now added a few more Kate products into my routine and I am hooked for life. Thank you Kate!
8/11/11
I have used many exfoliators and ExfoiKate is truely the best on the market. After the first use I saw a dramatic difference in my skin texture and tone. Not only does it leave my skin feeling great, but it smells so good. I am so happy I discovered Kate Somerville!
8/10/11
I can’t express how much I love this product! I use 2-3 times a week and right away it transformed by dry flakey skin. I feel like my serums and moisturizers sink and lock in much better after I use this exfoliator. My skin is dewy and gorgeous after every use. Truly a must have!
