I first came across Katherine Daniels as a brand back in 2017 through YouBeauty Box when I tried the Essential Micellar Face and Eye Makeup Remover. A British skincare brand, Katherine Daniels is the culmination of over 65 years of experience from skincare expert Kirsti Shuba and top facialist Donna Tait and between them, they state that they want you to have ‘Better Skin for Life.’ All of their products are developed with this goal in mind, the formulations enhance the way your skin works. The advanced ingredients within the products allow us to treat the cause of your skin concerns as well as the visible symptoms that you can see. The active ingredients in their products are sourced from plant, marine, Collagen and biotechnology sources.
I was kindly given the Oily Skin Emulsion to use and it is described as being a salon strength fluid emulsion which addresses the needs of your oily skin. I have combination skin which leans to the oily side, mainly on my t-zone, so when I use skincare products, I often have this issue at the back of my mind, alongside the fact I have dryness on my cheeks and forehead too.
Katherine Daniels products come with a simple to understand 4 step prescription process, which you can use the online skin quiz to help you determine which products are right for you, or you can go along to one of the salons and have your skin looked at by a Katherine Daniels specialist who can prescribe a collection of products for you. This emulsion is stage 3 of the 4-step process and it comes out of the tube feeling like quite a thick cream, but on contact with the skin, it melts and is weightless. Using four key ingredients which include:
- Seaweed Extract (Mastocarpus Extract) - Soothing
- Enantia Chlorantha Bark Extract - Reduces excess sebum production
- Witch Hazel Extract - Astringent and healing
- Mattifying Powders - Reduce and prevent shine
To use, you simply apply 2-3 pumps directly onto your fingertips and then massage the emulsion into your face, neck and décolleté in upward movements, avoiding your eye area.
The main standout scent of the emulsion is Witch Hazel but surprisingly it isn't so powerful that it makes my eyes water. What I have loved about this emulsion is its ability to mattifying the skin and it also feels incredibly refreshing too. Leaving behind no trace it was there, for me this is a great product if you do have excess sebum, or like me, want to beat that afternoon shine, then this is worth trying.
Prices start at £36 for 50ml here*.
