Kiehl's Ultra Facial Oil-Free Moisturizer Gel-Cream 5.07 fl oz — Shine-Reducing, 24H Hydration

Kiehl's Ultra Facial Oil-Free Moisturizer is a cooling, lightweight gel-cream that hydrates oily to normal skin while minimizing shine and visibly reducing pore appearance.

This oil-free gel-cream delivers continuous hydration without leaving a greasy finish, formulated to soothe, refresh, and balance skin for up to 24 hours. It absorbs quickly with an instant cooling sensation and is designed to support skin’s moisture levels while targeting excess surface oil, making it a daily step for those who want hydrated but matte-looking skin.

How does this moisturizer control shine without overdrying?

The gel-cream base is water-light and oil-free, so it replenishes moisture via humectants rather than oils. Ingredients like glycerin draw water into the skin to maintain hydration, while the formulation minimizes surface oil that causes shine, leaving a smooth, non-greasy finish.

• Oil-free, quickly absorbing gel-cream texture
• Glycerin for moisture retention without adding oil
• Designed to keep skin feeling fresh for up to 24 hours

Will it help pores look smaller and skin feel cooler?

Regular use can make pores appear less noticeable as the lightweight formula smooths skin texture and controls excess oil that can highlight pore size. The product also gives an immediate cooling effect on application, helping skin feel refreshed, especially in warmer climates or after physical activity.

• Visible pore minimization with continued use
• Instant cooling sensation on contact
• Non-comedogenic to avoid clogging pores

Can I use this moisturizer morning and night, and is it suitable for men?

Yes — the formula is designed for twice-daily use on clean skin and can be applied as the final step in your morning or evening routine. It’s unisex and works well on men’s skin; the fragrance-free formula avoids unnecessary irritants, making it broadly compatible with many skincare regimens.

• Apply morning and night to cleansed skin
• Fragrance-free, alcohol-free, and paraben-free
• Formulated for oily to normal skin and suitable for men

What key ingredients are responsible for hydration and balance?

Glycerin functions as the primary humectant to pull and hold moisture into the skin, helping it stay soft without oiliness. The formula also includes glacial glycoprotein, which supports the skin’s moisture balance and gives a refreshing feel, all packaged into a fast-absorbing gel that won’t leave residue.

• Glycerin — humectant that retains moisture
• Glacial glycoprotein — helps support skin’s moisture balance
• Oil-free and non-irritating base for everyday use

Who is this for: This moisturizer is a good fit for anyone with oily or normal skin who wants reliable hydration without shine — especially if you prefer lightweight textures, need a cooling sensation after activity or in warm climates, and want a fragrance-free, non-comedogenic product. If you seek a daily, unisex moisturizer that focuses on moisture balance, quick absorption, and a matte finish, this gel-cream is formulated to meet those needs.
