Kate Somerville is a skincare savant. The beloved esthetician has worked in the industry for nearly two decades, opening her first skin clinic in 2004. Since then, she’s amassed a star-studded roster of clients (Jessica Alba, Olivia Wilde, and Kate Hudson, to name a few) and created a namesake brand full of bestsellers (like the ExfoliKate Intensive Exfoliating Treatment).
With her status as a revered beauty pro, devotees are always eager to learn what’s next for her and the brand. Well, we have the answer. For the past two years, Somerville has been working hard developing her latest skincare collection, HydraKate. The brand’s newest range—which includes the Recharging Water Cream ($76) and Recharging Serum ($78)—is infused with Nobel prize-winning technology that provides 24-hour hydration. Curious to learn more? We were too. Ahead, Somerville shares everything you need to know about the HydraKate launches.

I’m the perfect tester for the HydraKate line as my skin is perpetually parched, and I spend an inordinate amount of time in front of screens. Needless to say, I slathered both products on my face as soon as they arrived. Somerville recommends applying the Recharging Serum first to clean and dry skin in the morning and evening, letting it fully absorb before using the Recharging Water Cream. Of course, I followed her directions to a T.
During the clinical studies, the data showed that 91% of participants experienced smoother, softer, and plumper skin after using the products once. This definitely rings true for me as my skin looked and felt refreshed. On the hydration front, using the products in tandem kept my skin feeling moisturized all day. In the evening, I applied the products right before going to bed. I happily woke up to skin that was super hydrated and radiant. Bottom line: If your skin needs a pick-me-up, consider adding the HydraKate collection to your routine.
