KIEHL’s Ultra Facial Oil-Free Gel Cream| Review

When it comes to skincare, finding the right moisturizer for oily or combination skin can be challenging. Enter KIEHL’s Ultra Facial Oil-Free Gel Cream, a lightweight moisturizer specially formulated to provide intense hydration without leaving any greasy residue. In this post, I will share the product’s packaging and review (its positive and negative aspects), giving you all the information you need to make an informed decision 🙂

About the product: With 24-hour hydrating power, this oil-free Gel Moisturiser for oily skin to normal skin has a cooling effect to reinvigorate while helping maintain skin’s moisture balance and regulate excess oil production for skin that’s shine-free, fresh-feeling and healthier-looking all day.

This fast-absorbing, alcohol-free, non-comedogenic moisturizer seeps into skin immediately to help visibly reduce shine and visibly minimize pores over time for skin that looks and feels hydrated, refreshed and balanced. With a unique gel cream texture, this oil-free moisturizer cools and hydrates skin without a residue.

Paraben-free, alcohol-free, synthetic fragrance-free, mineral oil-free, dye-free, and TEA-free.

Packaging: This cream gel comes in a blue colored average tub, nothing to rave about it. It’s made out of plastic, which kind of makes you feel a bit meh about it, since the price point isn’t super low but you get a really plain and simple packaging with it. Brand which is charging ₹2,900 for 50 ml should definitely come up with something interesting and luxurious in terms of packaging as well as quality 🙂

Review – Positive Aspects:

1. Lightweight and Oil-Free: The standout feature of the Ultra Facial Oil-Free Gel Cream is its lightweight formula. It glides onto the skin effortlessly, absorbing quickly without leaving any greasy residue. This makes it an excellent choice for those with oily or combination skin, as it keeps the skin hydrated without clogging pores or causing breakouts.
2. Deep Hydration: Despite its light texture, this gel cream provides intense hydration to the skin. Its unique formula contains ingredients like imperata cylindrica root extract and Antarcticine, known for their moisture-retaining properties. Regular use of this product helps to improve the skin’s moisture barrier, leaving it soft, supple, and nourished.
3. Mattifying Effect: Another noteworthy aspect of the Ultra Facial Oil-Free Gel Cream is its ability to mattify the skin. It helps control excess oil production, leaving the skin with a smooth and shine-free finish. This makes it an excellent base for makeup application, ensuring a long-lasting and matte look throughout the day.
4. Suitable for Sensitive Skin: The formulation of this gel cream is dermatologically tested and suitable for sensitive skin types. It is fragrance-free, paraben-free, and non-comedogenic, reducing the risk of irritation or adverse reactions. Individuals with sensitive skin can comfortably use this product without worrying about potential allergic reactions.

Review – Negative Aspects:

1. Limited Availability: One of the downsides of the Ultra Facial Oil-Free Gel Cream is its limited availability in some regions. KIEHL’s products may not be as easily accessible compared to other brands, making it more challenging for some individuals to purchase and try the product.
2. Not Suitable for Extremely Dry Skin: While this gel cream provides hydration, it may not be sufficient for individuals with extremely dry skin. Those with dry skin might need a more emollient moisturizer to address their specific needs.

I personally won’t recommend you as the price is on the higher side and the results are not as per expectation.
