Kiehl's Ultra Facial Moisturizer SPF 30 — 4.2 fl oz Hydrating Face Cream with Squalane, Lightweight Broad-Spectrum Sun Protection

Kiehl's Ultra Facial Moisturizer with SPF 30 is a lightweight, daily face cream that hydrates skin while providing broad-spectrum UVA/UVB sun protection in a 4.2 fl oz tube.

This daily cream blends Kiehl's moisturizing base with SPF 30 sunscreen filters and squalane, a plant-derived lipid, to deliver both hydration and sun defense in a single step. The formula is designed to absorb quickly without leaving heavy residue, making it easy to layer under makeup or wear alone. It's marketed for use across all skin types and aims to leave skin feeling soft, smooth, and protected from everyday sun exposure.

How does this moisturizer protect my skin from the sun?

The product contains sunscreen ingredients that provide broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays, helping reduce daily UV exposure on the face. It’s formulated for regular daily use and should be applied before going outdoors and reapplied as recommended.

• SPF 30 broad-spectrum filters to shield against UVA/UVB radiation.
• Apply liberally 15 minutes before sun exposure for best effect.
• Reapply at least every two hours, and after swimming or sweating.

Will this moisturizer hydrate without feeling greasy?

Yes — the Ultra Facial Moisturizer is known for a lightweight texture that absorbs readily into the skin rather than sitting on top. Squalane, included in the formula, helps replenish skin’s barrier and supports a soft, supple finish without heavy tackiness.

• Squalane (botanical-derived) for barrier support and smoothness.
• Fast-absorbing, non-greasy feel suitable under makeup.
• Leaves skin feeling soft and nourished after application.

How do I use it in my daily routine?

Use this cream as the last step of your morning skincare routine to combine hydration and sun protection. Massage a small amount evenly across the face and reapply frequently when exposed to sun; pair with water-resistant products for swimming or heavy perspiration.

• Apply to clean skin every morning, 15 minutes before sun exposure.
• Reapply every two hours or after swimming, towel drying, or sweating.
• Works well under makeup as a hydrating SPF base.

Is this product suitable for sensitive or all skin types?

The formula is presented for all skin types and is paraben-free, aiming to be compatible with a wide range of skin needs. However, as with any sunscreen or active formulation, perform a patch test if you have reactive or highly sensitive skin, and consult a dermatologist for personalized guidance.

• Marketed for all skin types, including normal, dry, oily, and combination skin.
• Paraben-free formulation to reduce certain preservative concerns.
• Contains squalane, noted for its gentle, skin-mimicking properties.

Who is this for: Kiehl's Ultra Facial Moisturizer with SPF 30 is aimed at anyone seeking a simple morning step that combines daily hydration and reliable SPF 30 sun protection. It’s a practical choice for people who prefer a lightweight cream that layers well under makeup, those wanting a squalane-enriched moisturizer, and users looking for an everyday facial product to help maintain skin softness while limiting routine UV exposure. If you have specific skin conditions, consult a skincare professional before use.
