    • SQUALANE

      A signature Kiehl’s ingredient, Squalane is a highly refined botanical lipid derived from sugar cane. With an exceptional affinity to skin, this ingredient absorbs easily and is known to help replenish skin’s barrier keeping it soft, supple and moisturized. In our formulations, Squalane is renewable and responsibly sourced.

    • GLACIAL GLYCOPROTEIN

      Originally sourced from Antarctic Sea glaciers, Glacial Glycoprotein within our formulas helps to deeply hydrate and maintain skin’s moisture balance. Each time our Glacial Glycoprotein is produced, it’s done in an environmentally friendly manner, without further extraction of the glaciers, making this skincare ingredient a renewable raw material.

    • PRO-CERAMIDES

      Ceramides are lipids that are naturally occurring in the outer layers of skin. Pro-Ceramides in particular make up a large portion of a healthy skin barrier. Our formula with Pro-ceramides helps to reinforce skin’s barrier strength and help skin better resist external disruptors.


      How to Use

      • After cleansing and toning, apply a dime-sized amount of our hydrating facial cream to skin.

      • Use twice daily, both day and night as the ultimate compliment to your skincare routine.

      Why We Love It

      • Our best face moisturizer does more than hydrate, smooth, and soften–it also strengthens skin’s barrier in two ways.
      • First, it strengthens skin on the surface, so that it can better retain moisture
      • Secondly, it helps maintain skin’s moisture deep within the skin barrier.

      Before and After

      Our #1 Ultra Facial Cream is clinically proven to provide deep, lasting hydration:

      • Hydrates skin 15 layers deep*
      • Barrier repair in just 1 hour**
      • 72-hour hydration***

      *In the stratum corneum. Based on an instrumental study vs untreated skin.

      **Results based on an instrumental study on tape-stripped skin.

        Frequently Asked Questions

        WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SQUALANE AND SQUALENE?

        While they are related, Squalane and Squalene are not identical. Squalane is the hydrogenated form of Squalene. Squalene is naturally occurring in our bodies and makes up around 13% of the skin’s sebum, helping to protect the skin’s barrier and seal in moisture. In our moisturizing cream, we derive the same skin benefits from Squalane, which is stable against heat and oxidation making it ideal for skincare formulations.

        HOW IS THE SQUALANE IN ULTRA FACIAL CREAM SOURCED?

        Squalane can be derived from several different natural resources. In our moisturizing cream, we use Squalane derived from olives and sugar cane. Kiehl’s never formulates with animal-derived Squalane.

        IS THIS PRODUCT PARABEN-FREE?

        Yes, Ultra Facial Cream with Squalane is paraben free. Kiehl’s does not formulate with parabens.

        IS KIEHL’S ULTRA FACIAL CREAM GOOD FOR ACNE-PRONE SKIN?

        Yes, Ultra Facial Cream was tested on all skin types, tones, and textures, including acne-prone and sensitive skin, in an instrumental study. Ultra Facial Cream with Squalane has a lightweight, non-comedogenic (does not clog pores) formula that’s never greasy and easily absorbs into the skin.

        DOES ULTRA FACIAL CREAM CLOG PORES?

        Our moisturizing cream is non-comedogenic and will not clog pores.

        Is Ultra Facial Cream non-comedogenic?

        Yes, Ultra Facial Cream is non-comedogenic, meaning it does not clog pores.

        IS ULTRA FACIAL CREAM FRAGRANCE-FREE?

        Yes, Ultra Facial Cream is fragrance-free.

        CAN SENSITIVE SKIN USE ULTRA FACIAL CREAM DAILY?

        Yes! If you have sensitive skin, you can use Ultra Facial Cream daily, as it’s 100% tested on sensitive skin (in an instrumental test). Additionally, 85% showed improvement in visible redness reduction based on image analysis 24 hours following Ultra Facial Cream application, in an instrumental study of 21 participants.

        DOES ULTRA FACIAL CREAM WORK AS A BASE UNDER MAKEUP?

        Yes, absolutely! Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream works exceptionally well as a hydrating base under makeup due to:
        Fast Absorption:Despite being intensely hydrating, the formula is surprisingly lightweight. It sinks into the skin quickly without leaving a heavy, greasy, or sticky residue that could cause foundation to slide off.
        Creates a Smooth Canvas:It contains Squalane (a highly refined moisturizing oil derived from olives) and Glacial Glycoprotein. These ingredients work together to deeply hydrate and plump the skin. When your skin is properly moisturized, makeup glides on smoothly rather than clinging to dry patches, settling into fine lines, or looking cakey.
        Prevents Flaking:By strengthening the skin's moisture barrier, it ensures your skin stays hydrated throughout the day, preventing your foundation from cracking or looking patchy after a few hours of wear.

        • Perfect for Sensitive Skin

          I’ve been using this moisturizer for over a year now and it has become a staple in my routine. I have incredibly sensitive skin and a lot of products either irritate my skin or feel too heavy, but this one works really well for me. It’s very hydrating without feeling greasy and it absorbs nicely. My skin feels soft and calm after using it, and it layers really well under makeup, which can be hard to find with richer moisturizers.

        • I love this product!!

          This cream is so light and perfect for oily skin! And its a very good base for makeup.

        • Great product!

          Before using Kiehl’s products, my skin was dull and dry. Now it has a natural glow and I get a lot of compliments from people about my skin and how I get the glow! It is great. I have been using it for years and purchased it for my daughter’s for Christmas.

        • Need smooth hydrated skin???

          The Ultra facial cream has given me super smooth soft skin! The rich moisture this product gives is amazing and my face always looks and feels refreshed once applied. It is now a staple in my routine; along with the milk peel gentle exfoliating toner!

        • A perfectly balanced moisturizer

          I've been using this moisturizer for a few weeks now and I'm really quite taken with it. I've been through a lot of moisturizers and always find that the lightweight moisturizers are not hydrating enough while the hydrating moisturizers are too heavy. I think this is the first moisturizer I've tried that is actually both lightweight and hydrating enough for my combination skin. It goes on very smoothly and absorbs into my skin so quickly. Like I said, I've been rotating through a lot of moisturizers, but I think I might actually stick with this one!

        • Finally found my skin’s best friend

          I have combination skin that’s prone to redness and I’ve tried so many moisturizers that either feel too heavy or do nothing for the flush on my cheeks. This cream has genuinely surprised me. After consistent use I can see a real difference in how calm my skin looks — the redness has visibly toned down and my skin feels hydrated without feeling greasy or clogged. The texture absorbs beautifully and doesn’t pill under anything I layer on top. My cheeks feel softer and look more even, and the squalane gives this nice healthy glow without making my T-zone go into overdrive. It’s become a non-negotiable in both my morning and night routine. If you have reactive or redness-prone skin and you’re skeptical — I get it, I was too. This one is worth it.

        • Impressive & Hydrating Moisturizer

          One of the best moisturizers I've tried. It's super hydrating yet doesn't leave my skin feeling oily. It feels luxurious and smells nice too. It has a clean fresh scent that's not overpowering. I think it's priced well too!

          Emily

        • A must have moisturizer

          It's an incredible moisturizer. It's unscented and keeps the skin hydrated. It absorbs very well into the skin. it can be used as a base before makeup and it also does not pull under the makeup. The cream has a light texture. It has become one of my favorites now.

          Sheggy

        • Great moisturizer

          This cream has a medium weight texture and is easily absorbed into the skin leaving a glowy finish, it is very moisturizing and with lots of good ingredients, more suitable for normal to dry skin.
