One stop shop for moisturizer
I love it, super light weight but v moisturizing and hydrating. Good for sensitive skin like mine. Easily absorbed and can wear under tinted sunscreen.

This product HURTS
This absolutely annihilated my skin. I've used the Ultra Facial Moisturizer for years and loved it. When they reformulated it recently, I figured it wouldn't cause an issue but in the last 2 weeks since I started using the new product my skin is red, blotchy, itchy and hurts. My skin is not typically sensitive and I've never had a reaction like this. Such a bummer since I loved the old product.

72 hours of hydration.
The absorption of Kiehl's ultra facial cream is absolutely unmatched!. The packaging is your standard pot, although I wish I had a scooper included as to not compromise the rest of the cream. This cream calms my irritated skin, and helps repair the skin barrier. There's a fresh scent to the cream but it's not bothersome at all!. I love it, 72 hours of hydration yesss ma'am!.

Very nice
It’s really good. I have oily acne prone skin type, and I think it did a great job at controlling my breakouts. The consistency is thick, which I love. Also, the scent is very mild. And the finish is matte.

Go to!
My go to moisturizer that I always come back to. It feels so hydration without feeling greasy or heavy. It sinks into the skin and makes for a great base for makeup. My skin feels hydrated all day! No smell which I love.

What does 4.2 oz really mean?
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received my 4.2 oz. purchase. When I compared it with a previous purchase of the same product, also labeled "4.2 oz", the earlier purchase container was significantly larger. I have a photo comparing the two, but no place to add it here. What's the deal?!
