KIEHL'S recently brought this moisturizer to Sephora in a smaller jar package (which I should point out currently costs MORE than the full size) so I thought it was time for me to finally try the Ultra Facial Oil-Free Gel-Cream. After I used it the first few times my skin felt instantly hydrated, soft, and smooth upon application. This also worked quite well under makeup and seemed to act as a primer. At the end of the day upon rinsing it off my skin began to instantly feel dry, red, and sensitized. That is when I finally read through the ingredients list to learn that denatured (also known as the drying type of alcohol- NOT the good, fatty kind) alcohol is the 3rd ingredient.
I try to avoid denatured alcohol every chance I get, especially when it is so high up the ingredient list. I always try products before reading the ingredient list so I'm not instantly looking for the scent, or the feel, but allowing my skin to tell me what the ingredients are before my brain knows it.
The KIEHL'S Ultra Facial Oil-Free Gel-Cream is also very short on beneficial ingredients. So if you have any special concerns like anti-aging, hyper-pigmentation, plumpness, fine lines, noticeable pores, this product isn't really equipped to deal with any of those issues. Although if you are young, have oily or acne prone skin this might be more aesthetically pleasing when you apply it. It does have a very silky and satin-y feel but by the end of the day skin actually looks and feels drier.
I really wish I would have ended up liking this, but it continues to be true for me that the Kiehl's brand is very hit-or-miss. I just never really know until I try them out myself.
