Kiehl's Ultra Facial Oil-Free Moisturizer — 5.07 fl oz, Shine-Reducing Gel-Cream with Mattifying 24H Hydration

Kiehl's Ultra Facial Oil-Free Moisturizer is a cooling, gel-cream that hydrates oily to normal skin for up to 24 hours while reducing surface shine and helping pores appear less visible.

This lightweight gel-cream from Kiehl's is formulated for skin that needs hydration without added oil. It absorbs quickly, delivers a refreshing cooling sensation on application, and works to keep skin looking matte and balanced through the day. The formula is non-comedogenic, fragrance-free, alcohol-free, and designed to support skin’s moisture levels with ingredients like glycerin and Glacial Glycoprotein.

How does this moisturizer control shine without over-drying?

The gel-cream uses water-binding humectants to provide hydration while avoiding heavy emollients that create shine. Its oil-free base helps skin feel matte right after application and throughout the day.

• Contains glycerin to attract and retain moisture without greasiness.
• Oil-free formulation reduces surface gloss while maintaining hydration.
• Absorbs quickly for a fresh, non-sticky finish.

Will this product help minimize the appearance of pores?

Over repeated use the formulation smooths the skin surface, which can make pores appear less noticeable. The lightweight texture avoids piling into pores, supporting a cleaner look.

• Regular application visibly refines skin texture over time.
• Non-comedogenic so it won’t clog pores.
• Cooling application helps skin look less inflamed, contributing to a smoother appearance.

How and when should I use the gel cream for best results?

Apply to clean, dry skin in the morning and/or evening. A small pea-sized amount spreads easily across the face; it’s also suitable as a lightweight base under sunscreen or makeup.

• Use after cleansing and any water-based serums for optimal absorption.
• Suitable for daily morning and night use, and as needed during the day.
• Works well under sunscreen and lightweight foundations without pilling.

What key ingredients are included and what do they do?

The formula features humectants and cold-climate-inspired actives that support hydration and skin resilience. Ingredients are chosen to hydrate without adding oil, and to refresh the skin on contact.

• Glycerin — a powerful humectant that draws and holds water in the skin.
• Glacial Glycoprotein — helps support moisture balance and skin comfort.
• Free from fragrance, alcohol, and parabens for a minimal irritation profile.

Who is this product for? Kiehl's Ultra Facial Oil-Free Moisturizer is aimed at people with oily to normal skin who want reliable hydration without a greasy finish. It suits those who prefer fragrance-free, non-comedogenic skincare, including men and women seeking a lightweight day or night moisturizer that layers well with treatments and makeup.
