Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream lightweight daily face moisturizer — Fragrance-Free, Squalane & Pro-Ceramides for Lasting Hydration

Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream is a lightweight, everyday face moisturizer formulated with squalane and pro-ceramides to deliver long-lasting hydration for all skin types.

This facial cream combines humectants and barrier-supporting lipids to replenish moisture, calm sensitivity, and help skin feel smoother and more balanced. Designed for both AM and PM use, the fragrance-free formula absorbs quickly without heaviness, making it suitable for use under makeup or as a simple, effective step in any routine.

How does this cream keep skin hydrated throughout the day?

The formula blends emollients and moisture-binding ingredients that attract and retain water in the skin, supporting sustained hydration. Clinical instrumental testing shows extended moisturization, and the texture is crafted to sit comfortably on the skin without leaving a greasy film.

• Squalane helps lock in hydration and softens skin surface
• Pro-ceramides support the skin’s lipid barrier to reduce moisture loss
• Lightweight lotion texture absorbs quickly for all-day comfort

Will this moisturizer work with sensitive or eczema-prone skin?

The fragrance-free, gentle composition was evaluated on sensitive skin and is formulated to minimize irritation. It has been tested for tolerance and is recognized by an eczema-focused organization, making it a reassuring choice for those seeking a milder daily hydrator.

• Fragrance-free to reduce potential irritants
• Tested on sensitive and eczema-prone skin
• Non-greasy finish suitable for layering with other products

How should I use this cream in my morning and evening routine?

Apply a small, even layer after cleansing and any serums, morning and night, to replenish moisture and reinforce the skin barrier. Because it wears well under makeup, you can use it as a base or mix a little into foundation for a dewier finish.

• Use twice daily after cleanser and treatments
• Suitable to wear under sunscreen and makeup
• Mix with foundation for subtle glow and extra hydration

What results can I expect and how quickly?

Users often notice improved skin softness and reduced tightness after initial use, with longer-term barrier support developing over days of consistent application. Instrumental studies indicate measurable increases in hydration depth and barrier recovery within a short timeframe when used regularly.

• Immediate softer, smoother skin feel after application
• Support for barrier resilience with continued use
• Designed for visible hydration without heavy residue

Who is this for: Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream is intended for anyone seeking a reliable, non-fragrant daily moisturizer that hydrates deeply while remaining lightweight. It’s especially suited to people who want a simple, versatile cream that plays well with makeup and other skincare steps—those with combination, dry, normal, or sensitive skin will find it particularly useful. If you prefer minimalist routines and seek a clinically-minded formula to support moisture and barrier health, this cream fits neatly into both morning and evening regimens.
