“Whenever my skin looks youthful and glowey, I thank God, my mom, and Kate
Somerville. I don’t know what I would do without her and them.”
—Julia Louis-Dreyfus “Kate has completely transformed my skin.
For the first time in my life, at age 40, I’m getting compliments on
how beautiful my skin is. I think that says it all.”
—Debra Messing
“Kate Somerville has literally changed the face of skin care, from the inside out.
Thanks to Kate, my skin always looks great!”
—Kate Walsh
“Kate has made me feel so good about my skin. She’s changed it to the best it’s
ever been, and her skin care is by far the best I’ve ever used! I adore her and
think she is a genius.”
—Lisa Rinna
“I ran into an actress at Starbucks. She looked at least 20 years younger than
the last time I saw her. She looked amazing. When I asked her why she looked so
good, she answered, ‘I switched from drinking coffee to drinking tea.’ She
smiled. I didn’t believe her. A few weeks later I ran into her at Kate Somerville …
I knew it was more than the tea.”
—Jennifer Coolidge
