First off, I would like to say that I have incredibly dry skin and I'm always looking for a face cream that helps with that issue and both of these products have caused dramatic differences in my dry skin and these two creams reminded me of each other except the Dr. Jart+ has a much more appealing price tag.
The Dr. Jart+ costs $48.00 for 50ml and can be purchased here, whereas the Kate Somerville has a $150.00 price tag for 1.7 ounces which can be purchased here, 50ml equals 1.6907 ounces or rounded up to 1.7 ounces.
I received both of these creams in a sample size and I was blown away at the difference that they made on my face. What made me think that they were essentially the same was the scent and the consistency. The scent reminds me of the smell of the 80's perms which led to this research. The consistency is the same for both products. I was seriously considering purchasing the Kate Somerville Cytocell until I tried the Dr. Jart+ Ceramidin.
I decided to do a bit of research on the ingredients.
The following are the ingredients for the Kate Somerville Cytocell:
Water, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Glycerin, Dimethicone, Ethylhexyl Isononanoate, C4-24 Alkyl Dimethicone/Divinyldimethicone Crosspolymer/Isodecyl Isononanoate, Isohexadecane, Tridecyl Trimellitate, Pentylene Glycol, Behenyl Alcohol, Cetearyl Alcohol, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Linoleic Acid,Sodium Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Whey Protein, Cetearyl Glucoside, Linolenic Acid, 1, 2-Hexanediol, Caprylyl Glycol, Polysorbate 80, Disodium EDTA, o-Cymen-5-OL, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Lavandula Hybrida Oil, Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Oil, Pelargonium Graveolens Flower Oil, Pogostemon Cablin Oil, Polydiethyleneglycol Adipate/IPDI Copolymer, Tocopherol, Tropolone, Polypeptide-72, Citronellol, Limonene, Linalool.
The following ingredients are for the Dr. Jart+ Ceramidin Cream:
Water/Aqua/Eau, Glycerin, Dipropylene Glycol, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Hydrogenated Poly(C6-14 Olefin), Hydrogenated Polydecene, Cetearyl Alcohol,1,2-Hexanediol, Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone, Vegetable Oil, Bifida Ferment Lysate, Glyceryl Stearate SE, Dimethiconol, Cyclopentasiloxane, Ulmus Davidiana Root Extract, Amaranthus Caudatus Seed Extract, Piper Methysticum Leaf/Root/Stem Extract, Beta Vulgaris (Beet) Root Extract, Algae Extract, Artemisia Vulgaris Extract, Portulaca Oleracea Extract, Pueraria Thunbergiana Root Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Paeonia Lactiflora Root Extract, Cnidium Officinale Root Extract, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Sodium Hyaluronate, Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Oil, Soluble Collagen, Pelargonium Graveolens Flower Oil, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Salvia Officinalis (Sage) Oil, Pogostemon Cablin Oil, Cetearyl Glucoside, Cetearyl Olivate, Sorbitan Olivate, C12-16 Alcohols, Ceramide 3, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate, Copolymer, Squalane, Glyceryl Stearate,Peg-100 Stearate, Hydrolyzed Corn Starch, Palmitic Acid, Coco-Caprylate/Caprate, Polysorbate 60, Caramel, Cellulose Gum, Propylene Glycol, Butylene Glycol, Disodium EDTA, Panthenol, Acacia Senegal Gum, Folic Acid, Acetic Acid, Cholesterol, Raffinose, Lactic Acid, Xanthan Gum, Tromethamine, Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4.
Although they both have similar ingredients, I do believe that the Kate Somerville has more luxurious ingredients such as the lavender oil, etc., but due to the price tag of the Kate Somerville, I think that I'm going to go with the Dr. Jart+ full size for now.
I would love to know if anyone has tried or currently uses the Kate Somerville CytoCell. What are your thoughts or opinions?
