Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream Sunscreen Moisturizer SPF 30 — Lightweight, Non-Greasy Daily Hydration

Kiehl's SPF 30 Ultra Facial Cream is a lightweight daily moisturizer that delivers broad-spectrum SPF 30 protection while keeping skin hydrated and non-greasy.

This multi-tasking cream combines moisturizing actives with chemical/mineral-filter sunscreen to protect skin from UVA and UVB exposure without piling on heaviness. Formulated for universal use, the texture is designed to absorb quickly, provide day‑long hydration, and sit comfortably under makeup. The updated tube also uses noticeably less plastic, helping reduce environmental footprint.

How does this moisturizer protect skin during everyday sun exposure?

The formula provides broad-spectrum SPF 30 coverage to defend against both UVA and UVB rays when applied correctly. It’s intended to be the final step in your morning regimen and should be reapplied during prolonged sun exposure. The sunscreen elements are balanced to preserve a lightweight, non-greasy finish.

• Broad-spectrum SPF 30 blocks UVA and UVB rays when applied liberally.
• Designed to layer over serums and under makeup without pilling.
• Reapply every two hours during extended outdoor activity.
• Absorbs quickly to maintain a matte-to-natural finish for most skin types.

What ingredients hydrate without making skin oily?
