Finding a moisturizer that combines rich hydration with a lightweight feel can be challenging, but Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream excels at it. Praised as "relief for my aging, dry skin," reviewers with mature skin love how it restores moisture without greasiness. Now, it's available at 25% off on Amazon and Nordstrom, the lowest price since January.
Why This Cream Stands Out
The formula is designed to deeply hydrate and balance the skin's natural moisture barrier, leaving it soft, smooth, and plump—an ideal makeup base for mature skin. Key ingredients include squalane, a botanical lipid that prevents water loss, and ceramides, essential for a strong skin barrier.
One reviewer noted: "The cream soaks in quickly without leaving a greasy residue, giving my skin a smooth, hydrated base for makeup. It's lightweight yet nourishing—perfect for mature skin that needs moisture without heaviness. After daily use, my skin feels soft, comfortable, and radiant all day."
Benefits for All Skin Types
This cream is especially beneficial for acne-prone, sensitive, or dry skin. It has a nearly imperceptible scent, ideal for those sensitive to fragrance. HuffPost shopping writer Tessa Flores reported that it helps soothe her chronic eczema. Even the driest patches from winter heat are no match. It also reduces redness and calms irritation from seasonal changes, allergies, or dry heat, without causing breakouts.
Customer Angela M. shared: "I use Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream every morning before applying my foundation, and it's become an essential part of my routine. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable, everyday facial cream." Another long-time user, Daniela Lo Feudo, said: "I have been using Kiehl's for almost 30 years. Ultra Facial Cream delivers proper moisturizing without greasiness. Same awesomeness, different packaging." Alexandra Bosco added: "This is hands down one of the best moisturizers I've used. Super lightweight, absorbs quickly, and leaves skin soft and hydrated all day."
