Kiehl's Ultra Facial Moisturizer — Fragrance-Free 4.2 fl oz Lightweight Daily Cream with Squalane & Glycerin for Barrier Support

Kiehl's Ultra Facial Moisturizer is a lightweight, fragrance-free daily cream that replenishes the skin’s moisture barrier and delivers long-lasting hydration using squalane and glycerin.

This everyday moisturizer is formulated to restore and maintain the skin’s natural moisture balance while leaving skin feeling soft and smooth. The non-greasy texture absorbs quickly, making it suitable for morning and evening routines or for on-the-go touch-ups. Designed for all skin types, the formula focuses on barrier support and surface hydration without added fragrance.

How does this moisturizer support my skin’s moisture barrier?

The formula includes squalane, a lightweight emollient that mimics natural skin lipids to help reinforce the barrier and reduce moisture loss. Glycerin acts as a humectant to draw and hold water at the skin’s surface, improving suppleness and comfort.

• Squalane replenishes lipids that help seal in moisture.
• Glycerin attracts and retains hydration for smoother skin.
• Non-irritating, fragrance-free base reduces risk of sensitivity.

Will it feel heavy or leave a greasy finish?

No; the moisturizer has a light, absorbent cream texture that spreads easily and settles quickly into skin. It provides hydration without a tacky residue, so makeup layers well over it.

• Lightweight cream sinks in fast for all-day comfort.
• Works smoothly under sunscreen and makeup.
• Suitable for both morning and evening application.

How should I use it in my daily routine?

Dispense a pea-sized amount and massage onto face and neck until absorbed. Use after cleansing and any treatment serums; apply again in the evening or as needed during the day to refresh dry areas.

• Apply after cleanser and serum for best results.
• Use day and night or for mid-day hydration boosts.
• Small amount covers face and neck—build as needed.

Is it appropriate for different skin types, including sensitive skin?

The fragrance-free formulation and balanced emollient/humectant blend make it suitable for oily, combination, dry, and sensitive skin. Because it avoids heavy fragrances and unnecessary additives, it’s often a good choice for those seeking straightforward hydration.

• Fragrance-free to minimize irritation potential.
• Non-comedogenic-feeling texture for many skin types.
• Dermatologist-tested brand history—designed for broad compatibility.
