Ultra Facial Oil-Free Cleanser

This is one of those products where it has benefits, but is also really odd. First of all, the smell is odd when you apply it, especially if your skin has gone through a lot during the day, it has that odd "dirty, oily skin" smell to it when you lather it on. It's a bit gross, but try to ignore it! The product definitely lasts A LONG time- you only need a pea sized amount, with a little bit of water. The product doesn't foam up, but rather, it thickens up into a white, milky looking texture on your face, and it actually feels rather good, like it's working on your face. Overtime, the product's claims to balance the skin does hold up. It has definitely make the tone and color of my skin more balanced and less splotchy. As for oil, it is good, only for oily and combo skin, so don't try this product if you have sensitive skin! Maybe give it a try if you have normal skin. The after affect of this product after you rinse it off is odd too (it might change depending on the amount of oil that you have on your skin). It is a bit too squeaky clean for me, but it does make your skin very clean looking afterwards. As for acne, it's not actually supposed to help acne (and it doesn't). So use this to get rid of oil and balance the skin tone, not for acne! Bottom line: Good for daily use, only for combo/oily skin, odd smell, not supposed to help acne, does help with oil control and skin tone balance, makes skin look clean afterwards, and leaves skin a bit too squeaky clean. Another thing- DON'T get this into your eyes, it hurts!! PS- Make sure you snap the cap TWICE! Do this with all your other capped Kiehl's products.

EXCELLENT. Period. Thankfully Nordie's lists the ingredients, and after purusing them (I'm a label-reader for 25 years) I knew that this just might be THE ONE. I was not disappointed. It says what it does; does what it says! i don't need to use my 'cleansing water' because it "thoroughly removes impurities." Plus, it was Price Matched (another GREAT Nordstrom policy), so BONUS.

I had been in search of a facial wash for a while before I found this gem. But once my package came I couldn't wait to wash my face. And lets just say, I fell in love instantly! The way the facial wash clings to your face with such a smooth, foamless, lather. I literally said OMG mid-wash. When I finished raising my face, it felt so clean and had a natural glow. I love this product, only had it a week and I already swear by it.

This product was everything I was hoping for and more! Not only did it help clear up acne and scars on my face, but it also just helped with an over all glow over my face! I would definitely recommend this product. Two thumbs up!

I've used it for years. And as with all Kielhs is an excellent daily cleanser, used as often as you wash your face per day.Beware of the build-up of bacteria under cap!! The product lasts very long as a tiny dab to wet face goes a long way. Remove cap every few days and clean as I clearly have forgotten to do... this build-up is over several weeks during g an extended work trip . As you near the end of the tube (2-3 months), you're going to take the cap off in order to dispense the cream. Sorry for the disgusting image, but now you know.

I have very sensitive skin. I have been using the Calendula toner and love it. So then I purchased this because at almost 40 years old I still get pimples and have oily skin. This made my neck and face break out in a rash. I sadly must stop using this product.

This stuff feels great initially. Lathers wonderfully and is so silky smooth while cleansing my face. I use with my clarisonic and it feels like it really does take my makeup off. However, it has not helped with my acne nor my oily complexion. I'm wondering if it's too drying because once I start to rinse, my skin tugs and feels stiff. You are almost forced to use a moisturizer.. I purchased the oil-free moisturizing gel from this line also and am not too satisfied with that either!

Love this face wash! Have used it for 3 years. You don’t have to use that much of it which means it lasts a while. It has a really good lather for how little you use. Feels really good on the face. I have combo oily skin and love how this works with my skin type, helps keep my skin not looking so oily throughout the day!

It is really good. I buy three times. And it is my four times purchase. I am oily skin and sometimes come up little pimples. But after I used, it’s really helpful to get rid of pimples. When after wash my face, it feels so fresh and clean. It can also remove based make up. So I removed my eye make up to remover and just use this product twice. I highly recommand this one! It’s my best cleanser.

I sampled about a half dozen cleansers from a variety of manufacturers before settling on Kiehl's 'Ultra Facial' Oil-Free Cleanser. I love the squeaky clean feeling I get after using this cleanser in the shower. It's fragrance-free which makes it even better. The price is reasonable and a little bit of this product goes a long way. I've re-purchased this item five times already and will probably continue using it forever - that's how much I like it.

I've only been a user of this brand for a couple weeks but I can already say I'll now be a user for life. Having always had issues with my T-zone, I find this face-wash to be an instant relief to my greasy, dry, flakey, oily mess of a face. It's like I can literally feel the face wash 'soaking up' all the grime. & with just the smallest dab, it lathers up to cover my entire face & neck so I know I'm getting my money's worth. My face has truly never looked better!

I have had problems with cystic and hormonal acne for YEARS and have tried everything. This stuff does not make me break out at all. You only need a pinch of it so the bottle will last forever. It lathers really well, removes all of my make-up (except mascara), and rinses really well with a squeaky clean feeling afterward. I use it morning and night. Love it!
