In Appreciation of: Kate Somerville's Goat Milk Moisturizing Cleanser
It’s the cleanser adored by skincare enthusiasts, and it’s just sashayed into Liberty’s Hall of Fame
By: Laura KennedyThe Synopsis
A universally beloved friend of sensitive faces the world over, there’s no mystery behind the stellar reputation of Kate Somerville Goat Milk Moisturizing Cleanser, £38. The famed periwinkle purple tube houses a fire extinguisher in cleanser form. It’s all about cleansing the skin thoroughly without stripping or stressing its natural barrier function.
The Rise to Fame
Facialist Kate Somerville is globally renowned for her in-clinic treatments and her eponymous skincare line. She’s especially associated with careful use of potent active ingredients. This creamy cleanser has long held skincare royalty status. Somerville developed it as a soothing way to cleanse for clients whose sensitive skin struggled with some of the more active ingredients – like glycolic acid – that she uses in both professional grade clinic peels and her over-the-counter skincare products.
The Credentials
Somerville’s Los Angeles clinic is a revolving door of celebrity visitors, while the brand is known for its elegant and effective formulations. But Goat Milk Moisturizing Cleanser holds special status as a global bestseller. It comforts and cleanses every sort of irritated skin, be it broken-out or suffering from the aftereffects of too much retinol.
The Star Quality
Few skincare products are truly universal, but this cleanser is. Regardless of skin type or gender, you can wash your face with it, morning or night. It’s non-foaming and sulphate-free, but washes away tracelessly, leaving skin feeling hydrated and never tight or dry. Whether it’s your first port of call for that all-important morning cleanse or one step of your evening double-cleanse, this ultra-gentle cleanser will always leave your skin feeling better.
