Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream Lightweight Daily Moisturizer — Fragrance-Free, 72‑Hour Hydration

Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream is a lightweight, everyday moisturizer that delivers long-lasting hydration and helps reinforce the skin’s moisture barrier for softer, healthier-looking skin.

Built for all skin types, this fragrance-free cream combines 4.5% squalane, glacial glycoproteins, and pro-ceramides to help replenish lost moisture, soothe redness, and support barrier repair. Clinically tested in extreme conditions and on sensitive skin, the formula is non-irritating and has earned recognition from the National Eczema Association. Use it morning and night under makeup or alone for a sustained hydration boost.

How does Ultra Facial Cream keep skin hydrated for up to 72 hours?

The formulation blends humectant and barrier-supporting ingredients that attract and lock in moisture. Squalane mimics natural skin lipids for quick absorption, while pro-ceramides strengthen the barrier so moisture loss is reduced over time.

• Contains 4.5% squalane to replenish lipids and improve absorption
• Glacial glycoprotein helps retain moisture in challenging conditions
• Pro-ceramides support barrier repair to reduce trans-epidermal water loss
• Instrumental testing indicates hydration lasting up to 72 hours

Is this cream suitable for sensitive or eczema-prone skin?

Yes — the fragrance-free, non-irritating formula is tested on sensitive skin and has the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance. Its gentle composition focuses on calming and reducing visible redness without harsh additives.

• Fragrance-free to minimize irritation risk
• Tested in an instrumental study on sensitive skin
• Recognized by the National Eczema Association
• Light texture that absorbs without leaving heavy residue

How do I incorporate this moisturizer into my daily routine?

Apply twice daily after cleansing and any serums to lock in active ingredients and maintain hydration. It layers well under sunscreen and makeup and can be mixed with foundation for a sheer, glowy finish.

• Morning and night use for best results
• Apply to clean, slightly damp skin for improved absorption
• Compatible with sunscreen and makeup application
• Blend with foundation for dewy coverage if desired

What measurable benefits can I expect from regular use?

Regular application helps hydrate multiple skin layers, strengthens the moisture barrier within an hour, and reduces dryness over days of consistent use. Users typically notice smoother, softer skin and reduced tightness from dehydration.

• Hydrates up to 15 layers deep in instrumental testing
• Barrier repair observed within about one hour in studies
• Clinically measured up to 72-hour hydration performance
• Helps smooth and soften skin texture with continued use

Who is this for? Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream is designed for anyone seeking a reliable, non-greasy daily moisturizer that supports barrier health and long-lasting hydration. It's especially useful for people who want a lightweight formula that works for normal, dry, combination, and sensitive skin—or for anyone needing extra moisture during travel or extreme climates.
