Reviews

Customer service is ATROTIOUS

"I'm sharing this here as there is no way to contact this company via phone - you can leave a message that is never returned and their Chat/Email options are the same person every time. I’ve been a loyal Kate Somerville customer for years and have recommended their products to countless friends. While the skincare itself is solid, the customer service has become unbelievably disappointing. I’ve never encountered a company where the chatbot is more helpful, more polite, and more capable than the actual human representatives. After multiple interactions with Jayanna, I’m done. The dismissive tone, lack of support, and unwillingness to resolve even simple issues made it clear that customer care is not a priority for this brand. There are too many other high‑quality skincare options on the market that treat their customers with respect when problems arise. I won’t be purchasing from Kate Somerville again."

— LG (1/5)

Sticky and Strong Smell

"I love all my Kate Somerville products, but this was a major miss for me. I wanted to love this primer but it was not what I was hoping for. My face felt sticky all day, and then it just made me look like I was covered in oil. The smell was overwhelmingly strong as it had sort of a chemical/plastic odor. Definitely not worth the cost. I would recommend Elf's power grip primer instead as it's substantially cheaper, long lasting, and has little to no smell."

— Gordon (1/5)

Dewy Boost!

"This is just what my makeup routine has been waiting for! Kate’s Plumping Primer immediately improves the surface texture of the skin, and hours later, the fine lines that usually develop as makeup dehydrates the skin, are softer. This primer makes any day a holiday!"

— Sue S. (5/5)

Refreshes and smooths makeup application

"Love this primer for the summer. Brings a cool sensation to the skin and plumping hydration for makeup application or just use it alone for a cooling and smoother face."

— Keri A. (5/5)

Great product

"Feels good going on. Gives skin a beautiful dewy look and a nice plumpness."

— Cheryl P. (5/5)

Me encantó

"Que delicia para la piel, hidrata muy bien y se aplica y absorbe súper bien en el rostro. La consistencia es perfecta, tiene poquito olor, bien sutil. La piel queda plumping, hidratada, glowy pero nada grasosa o pesada. Me encantó utilizarlo sin maquillaje y con maquillaje es perfecto 👌🏼 gifted by katesomerville complimentary from katesomerville"

— Susan (5/5)

Really good!

"Hydration will always be key to good makeup, so a primer that also hydrates and preps the skin is very interesting to try. And overall, I can say that this one has a fairly thick texture, and you don't need much product to cover your entire face. Plus, my skin definitely feels fresh and hydrated. I will definitely continue using it. complimentary from katesomerville"

— Nath (5/5)

My skin is loving it

"I was gifted by katesomerville and this primer felt so much more like a serum when applying. It's a silky texture and spreads really easily. My skin is oily in the tzone but normal everwhere else, it worked great for all areas of my face. It helps keep my makeup in place really nicely."

— Diana (5/5)

My favorite Primer

"It’s definitely on the pricier side, but it’s one of the few plumping primers that hydrates deeply without irritating my skin. I love how it layers after I moisturizer and gives my skin a plumper, smoother look. It adds a healthy glow, helps calm redness, and keeps my skin feeling balanced. gifted by katesomerville gifted by katesomerville"

— Ana (5/5)

Love it

"I absolutely love this priming serum! A good primer really helps in my routine. This one has worked so well for me. It definitely helps hydrate my skin and I notice it looks firmer or more plump. It helps my makeup last much longer and helps give my skin a nice base. This product was gifted by Kate Somerville."
