Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream Sunscreen Moisturizer SPF 30 — Daily Hydrating Face Cream, Lightweight Non-Greasy

Kiehl's SPF 30 Ultra Facial Cream Sunscreen Moisturizer is a lightweight daily face cream that hydrates for 24 hours while providing broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection in a non-greasy finish.

This multi-tasking facial cream combines everyday moisturizing with SPF 30 sun defense in a formula designed for all skin types, including sensitive skin. It blends hydrating active ingredients with a texture that absorbs quickly, so it can be used as the final step in your morning skincare routine. The packaging has also been redesigned to use less plastic, reflecting Kiehl's push toward more sustainable choices.

How will this moisturizer fit into my morning skincare routine?

Apply this cream as the last step of your morning regimen, after serums and eye cream. Because it contains SPF 30, it replaces a separate sunscreen step for everyday outdoor exposure, but you should reapply during prolonged sun exposure. Its lightweight, non-greasy texture layers well under makeup.

• Use liberally 15 minutes before sun exposure for adequate protection.
• Reapply every two hours when outdoors for continuous SPF coverage.
• Works under makeup without pilling due to its quick-absorbing feel.

What key ingredients deliver hydration and skin comfort?

The formula features Kiehl's Fountain Plant and Glacial Glycoprotein, two moisturizing actives that support skin hydration and barrier function. These ingredients help skin retain moisture through the day and reduce tightness associated with dryness. The result is smoother-feeling skin with improved comfort in various climates.

• Fountain Plant: helps boost skin moisture and supports barrier resilience.
• Glacial Glycoprotein: known for helping maintain hydration in challenging conditions.
• Light emollients: provide a non-greasy finish while sealing in moisture.

Is this sunscreen suitable for sensitive or oily skin?

This SPF 30 facial cream is formulated for broad compatibility across skin types, from dry to oily and sensitive. Its lightweight, non-greasy texture minimizes shine, making it comfortable for combination and oil-prone skin, while the gentle formulation is intended to be tolerated by sensitive skin. Patch-testing is recommended if you have highly reactive skin.

• Balanced texture reduces heavy residue on oily skin types.
• Gentle formulation aims to minimize irritation for sensitive skin.
• Suitable as an everyday sunscreen alternative for normal and combination skin.

How does the packaging and sustainability compare to previous versions?

Kiehl's updated the tube to use significantly less plastic than earlier iterations, reflecting a reduction in environmental impact. The lighter packaging keeps product protection and usability while lowering plastic content. This change is part of Kiehl's broader sustainability efforts across its product range.

• New packaging uses approximately 40% less plastic than the original design.
• Lightweight tube maintains portability for daily carry and travel.
• Same product volume and performance with reduced material use.

Who is this for: Kiehl's SPF 30 Ultra Facial Cream Sunscreen Moisturizer is for anyone seeking a simple, effective morning product that combines reliable daily hydration with broad-spectrum SPF protection. It's well-suited to people who prefer a quick single-step finish under makeup, travelers who want a compact multi-function cream, and those looking for a sunscreen that accommodates a range of skin types, including sensitive skin. If you need higher sun protection for prolonged outdoor activity, consider pairing this cream with a dedicated high-SPF sunscreen or reapplying more frequently as needed.
