Review Summary

Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream is the moisturizer I always come back to. The lightweight formula provides 24-hour hydration without greasiness, making it perfect for all seasons. The squalane and glacial glycoprotein keep my skin comfortable from morning to night. It absorbs quickly and layers beautifully under sunscreen and makeup with no pilling. The jar packaging isn't ideal, but the pump version is available. It's fragrance-free and suitable for sensitive skin — I've never experienced irritation or breakouts. While it's more expensive than drugstore options, one jar lasts 3-4 months with daily use. My combination skin loves the balance of hydration without excess oil. This is a no-fuss, reliable moisturizer that just works. It's my go-to recommendation for anyone looking for a straightforward, effective face cream.
