Ultra Facial Cream

Apply Ultra Facial Cream after cleansing, toning, and using your targeted serum. Our #1 face cream can be used day and night, providing up to 72-hour hydration for soft, smooth, healthy-looking skin.

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.

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

Ultra Facial Cream offers a lightweight cream texture ideal for deep, all-day hydration on all skin types, while Ultra Facial Moisturiser has a thinner formula that absorbs instantly and is ideal for oilier skin types. Both are formulated with Squalane and Glycerin to deliver lasting hydration for soft, smooth skin. If you have normal, dry, or combination skin, Ultra Facial Cream is typically the better choice for comprehensive moisture.

Ultra Facial Cream is a fragrance-free Squalane-enriched facial cream, suitable for all skin types, tones and textures. Formulated with Squalane and Glycerin, our moisturising cream delivers up to 24-hour hydration for softer, smoother and healthier looking skin. It is also suitable for men. For a lightweight, easily absorbed moisturiser for men, try Facial Fuel Energizing Moisturiser. Enriched with Vitamin C and Caffeine, our number 1 product for men refreshes and revitalises men's unique skin, delivering a boost of hydration.

No, Ultra Facial Cream is non-comedogenic and will not clog pores. Our formula is suitable for all skin types, including those prone to congestion, making it a versatile choice for daily hydration.

Our original Ultra Facial Cream is formulated without SPF. We do have an SPF version; Ultra Facial Cream SPF30. Hydrate, smooth and soften with a daily facial moisturiser now with broad spectrum UVA and UVB sun protection.

Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream is a worthwhile investment for anyone seeking reliable, long-lasting hydration. Our #1 face cream delivers up to 72-hour hydration with a formula featuring Squalane, Glacial Glycoprotein, and Pro-Ceramides to strengthen your skin's moisture barrier. Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, this lightweight cream absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue. With over 170 years of apothecary expertise behind our formulations, Ultra Facial Cream offers premium skincare backed by science and trusted by millions worldwide.

Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream is ideal for strengthening your skin's moisture barrier and providing deep, lasting hydration. It helps address dryness, dehydration, and skin that feels tight or uncomfortable. The formula is particularly effective for maintaining soft, smooth skin throughout the day and night, and works well under makeup or as part of a comprehensive skincare routine. Because it is formulated for all skin types, including sensitive skin, it is a versatile daily moisturiser for nearly everyone.

Kiehl's offers excellent options for mature and older skin. While Ultra Facial Cream provides essential hydration that all skin needs, those concerned with visible signs of ageing may also benefit from our Super Multi-Corrective Cream or Micro-Dose Anti-Aging Retinol Serum. Ultra Facial Cream works beautifully as a hydrating base in any anti-ageing routine, as well-hydrated skin appears plumper and more youthful. Many of our customers layer Ultra Facial Cream with targeted treatments for comprehensive care.

Ultra Facial Cream is formulated for all skin types, including normal, dry, combination, and sensitive skin. The lightweight texture absorbs quickly without feeling heavy, making it comfortable for those who dislike rich creams, while the Squalane and Pro-Ceramides provide enough moisture for drier skin types. If you have very oily skin and prefer an even lighter texture, you may wish to try our Ultra Facial Moisturiser instead.
