Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream Sunscreen Moisturizer SPF 30 — Lightweight, 24-Hour Hydration

This multitasking facial cream blends Kiehl's hydration technology with SPF 30 to protect skin from daily sun exposure while keeping skin comfortable all day. Designed for all skin types — including sensitive skin — the non‑greasy formula layers easily under makeup and absorbs quickly to leave skin hydrated without shine. The updated packaging reduces plastic by 40% for a more sustainable choice.

How does this cream protect skin from everyday sun exposure?

The product contains broad‑spectrum SPF 30 to shield skin from both UVA and UVB rays when applied as directed. It is intended to be the final step in your morning skincare routine and should be reapplied regularly during extended sun exposure. This SPF level helps reduce the immediate effects of sun exposure as part of daily protection habits.

• Broad‑spectrum SPF 30 for UVA and UVB coverage
• Apply 15 minutes before sun exposure for best results
• Reapply at least every two hours when outdoors or after sweating

Will the moisturizer feel heavy or greasy on my skin?

The formula is specifically developed to be lightweight and non‑greasy, absorbing quickly into the skin without leaving a sticky residue. It is suitable for layering under cosmetics or alone for a natural finish. Many users find it comfortable for daily wear, including those with normal, combination, or oily skin types.

• Fast‑absorbing texture for a matte to natural finish
• Non‑greasy, comfortable wear under makeup
• Works well for morning routines and on humid days

What hydrating ingredients are in the formula and how do they work?

This moisturizer features Fountain Plant and Glacial Glycoprotein to support skin hydration and help maintain the moisture barrier. These ingredients are chosen for their ability to attract and retain moisture, helping skin feel softer and more resilient. The formulation aims to deliver hydration for up to 24 hours when used as part of a routine.

• Fountain Plant helps boost skin’s moisture and support barrier function
• Glacial Glycoprotein helps protect and hydrate in dry or cold conditions
• Hydration benefits combine with SPF for daily all‑in‑one care

How should I incorporate this into my skincare routine?

Use this cream as the last step of your morning regimen after cleansing, toning, and applying any serums. Apply it liberally and evenly over face and neck at least 15 minutes before sun exposure, and reapply every two hours if you remain outside. For best results, use daily as part of a comprehensive sun‑care approach that includes shade, protective clothing, and sunglasses.

• Apply after serums and moisturizers as the final morning step
• Use a generous amount and spread evenly over face and neck
• Combine with other sun‑protection measures for comprehensive defense
