Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream Review

My first impression of the packaging was mixed, the jar is a nice weight and feels like high quality. I can appreciate the asthetic Kiehls are aiming for with the printing however it felt too busy and just filled with nonsense for the sake of it.

The moisturizer itself is silky and creamy, not dissimilar to Nivea q10. The packaging describes the product as lightweight which I do not agree with. After the first day wearing this moisturizer I had to switch to only using at night as it was too heavy for day wear and broke through my primer and makeup and I became a greasy mess by lunchtime which is unusual.

As a night cream this ultra face cream is spectacular. It feels soothing to apply and absorbs quickly. I wake up feeling fresh and hydrated, it does not clog my pores or cause acne on my skin. A small amount goes a long way. I will buy this face cream as a night cream.

This is a thick creamy moisturizer that effortlessly disappears into your skin seconds after its applied. It has a very neutral smell that disappears as quickly as the product. It's in a white 50ml jar which is perfect for grabbing just a fingertip blob amount of product. I love moisturizers in jars as there's no wasted product because you can reach all the books and crannies. I believe this jar would last me 2, maybe 3, months and would be happy to pay to have it replaced in my bathroom. My skin always feels soft and smooth after applying and stays that way throughout the day. Since using this product I have had a few people remark on how great my skin looks, and being over the hill that is forty, that feel great. This gets a highly recommend from me and I look forward to the difference continuous use of more than two weeks make.

Thanks so much for giving me the chance to try this brand, i actually love it. I love the size of the container and its so easy to get into, the texture is a nice lightweight cream and it goes on so nice and smooth and absorbs pretty much straight away, i used it in conjunction with the toner and serum but for one day i thought id try it on its own and i found it feeling the same on my face. Its just the right amount of moisture for my face and has no scent so im well impressed. I also think a lot goes a long way with this product which is great as for me its in that next price bracket. I feel like there has been an improvement in the texture on my face and i don't seem to have any dry patches anymore and it could just be me but i feel like maybe the fine lines are evening out a little bit. :) Love love love. No negatives here for me a definite go to.

From the first use I noticed my skin feeling more hydrated, and in the first few days, more plump.

A little goes a long way, especially if using after the Skin Strengthening Super Serum, which I found to be the perfect "primer" for this product. It's not sticky or greasy on application, but it does get ever so slightly tacky as it slowly absorbs into your skin. Which I didn't actually mind. It made me feel like it continued to provide moisture long after I first applied it.

I did however experience some greasiness in my T Zone, and a few little pimples and bumps on my nose and forehead. I stopped using the moisturizer for a couple of days and they seemed to ease off. So I think moving forward, I'll skip my T Zone when I use it. Or perhaps only use it on that area when my skin is particularly dry.

I'll definitely keep using it. I recommend giving it a go!

First things first, what a great sized container, and it was filled right to the top! I liked this product a lot. I was pleasantly surprised at how smooth it went on and how moisturising it felt, without being oily or greasy feeling. It settled into the skin really nicely and did not leave me with an oily 'shine' on a no make up day. I do wish it had an SPF in it, as sunscreen is often greasy and in my mind an unnecessary step if I can get a moisturiser with SPF in it.

This is a great everyday moisturiser. Perfect for dehydrated skin, but if your skin is slightly more on the drier side, I do recommend pairing it with a hydrating/repairing serum. It is really lightweight, so it's perfect if you're someone who doesn't like the feeling of products on the skin.

I really love this face moisturiser. I have skin that can be on the sensitive side - and when my skin is having a I-used-something-it-doesn't-like sensitive meltdown, this is my absolute favourite go-to moisturiser. It's lightweight but super hydrating, not greasy, and absorbs really quickly. There's no discernable scent to it, so it's great for sensitive skin or those trying to avoid fragrances in their skincare. This is one I would absolutely recommend to a friend, and will probably be repurchasing sooner rather than later, as my fiancee can't keep his hands off this moisturiser either!
