Ultra Facial Moisturiser

Kiehl's Ultra Facial Moisturiser is a lightweight lotion formula that absorbs quickly and leaves a non-greasy finish, while the Ultra Facial Cream is a richer, more emollient cream that provides deeper hydration. If you prefer a lighter feel for daily wear — especially under makeup or SPF — we recommend the Moisturiser as the better choice. For those with drier skin or those seeking a more intensive moisture boost, we typically recommend the Ultra Facial Cream.

If you have rosacea, we recommend consulting a dermatologist for personalised advice. Our formula is free from alcohol and contains soothing Squalane, which may help support the skin barrier.

We typically recommend applying the Ultra Facial Moisturiser morning and night after cleansing and toning. You can also reapply throughout the day as needed for an extra hydration boost. For a complete routine, explore our Ultra Facial Collection including our foaming cleanser and mild facial toner.
