It depends on how your skin typically feels throughout the day. If your skin tends to feel dry or tight, we recommend the Ultra Facial Cream for its rich, lasting hydration. If you lean oily or notice shine by midday, the Ultra Facial Oil-Free Gel Cream delivers lightweight moisture without the heaviness, and if your skin is sensitive or easily stressed, the Ultra Facial Meltdown Recovery Cream is designed to soothe and repair your skin barrier from first use.

Yes, the Ultra Facial Meltdown Recovery Cream is specifically formulated with 1% Colloidal Oatmeal to help relieve minor skin irritation, making it suitable for eczema-prone skin. It's been tested on sensitive and stressed skin and works to repair your skin barrier while delivering up to 96 hours of hydration. That said, we always recommend checking with your dermatologist if you have any specific concerns.

Your skin's moisture barrier is essentially its protective shield, locking hydration in and keeping irritants out. When it's weakened by things like harsh weather, central heating, or over-cleansing, you may notice dryness, flaking, or increased sensitivity. Using a moisturiser that actively strengthens this barrier, like the Ultra Facial Cream, can help restore balance and keep your skin feeling comfortable throughout the day.

Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream delivers up to 72 hours of hydration while strengthening your skin's moisture barrier for softer, smoother, healthier-looking skin. Formulated with Glacial Glycoprotein and Squalane, it helps your skin retain 2.3 times more moisture than untreated skin. It's lightweight enough for daily use and suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.

The Kiehl's Ultra Facial Collection features Glacial Glycoprotein derived from sea glaciers and olive-derived Squalane, both of which help strengthen your skin's moisture barrier and lock in hydration. These ingredients work together to protect your skin from environmental stressors like cold weather, central heating, and air conditioning. You'll find these hero ingredients across the collection, from our cleansers to our moisturisers.

Start with the Ultra Facial Cleanser to gently remove impurities, follow with the Ultra Facial Toner to prep and hydrate, then apply your chosen Ultra Facial moisturiser to cleansed skin morning and evening. This three-step routine takes just a few minutes and delivers lasting hydration throughout the day. For added protection during the day, we recommend finishing with an SPF.

Yes, Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream pairs beautifully with retinol treatments and can help maintain hydration levels while using active ingredients. The barrier-strengthening formula helps counteract any dryness that retinol may cause, keeping your skin comfortable and balanced. We recommend applying your retinol first, then following with Ultra Facial Cream to seal in moisture.

Yes, Ultra Facial Cream is available in a 150ml refill format, allowing you to reduce packaging waste while continuing to enjoy your favourite moisturiser. Simply pop the refill into your existing jar when you run out, and you're good to go. It's one small step we're taking towards more sustainable skincare (and your bathroom shelf will thank you too).

While Kiehl's Ultra Facial products are tested for sensitive skin and are gentle enough for reactive skin types, we recommend consulting your dermatologist before using any new product if you have rosacea. The collection is fragrance-free and formulated to minimise irritation, which many with reactive skin appreciate. If you're looking for extra soothing benefits, the Ultra Facial Meltdown Recovery Cream may be worth discussing with your skincare professional.

The Kiehl's Ultra Facial Collection includes products for all skin types, from the rich Cream for dry skin to the Oil-Free Gel Cream for oily skin and the Meltdown Recovery Cream for sensitive and stressed skin. Every formula is tested on sensitive skin and designed to deliver lasting hydration without heaviness. Whether your skin runs dry, oily, or somewhere in between, there's an Ultra Facial product that's right for you.
