    I love this moisturizer. It leaves my skin super soft everytime I put it on. I love putting it on at night before I go to sleep and waking up to the soft skin in the morning! I think it is super effective.

    I found it to be a bit on the pricier side but it's well worth it! It will now be my go-to moisturizer. It is rich but not too heavy and doesn't leave my face feeling too greasy. I have somewhat sensitive skin and I found this product very suitable for me. I have used it every single day since purchasing it last April and I used it all up a month before it was about to expire! It has encouraged me to explore other Kiehl's products

    This cream is very light in texture and is most def an essential for the winter months here in Canada. It's great on sensitive skin, glides in beautifully and gives you radiance. I do have oily combination skin but during the colder months it becomes drier. Although it gives me 24hr moisture I do find that I have to blot mid day.

    I received a sample of this and I am in love! I think I finally found my holy grail moisturizer. I have extremely dry, sensitive skin but I find that a lot of moisturizers turn it into greasy skin (not ideal). This finally does what I expect - gives my skin a nice healthy feeling and dewy glow with none of the grease.

    Definitely going to purchase the full size when I'm finished with my large deluxe sample.

    This does a good job at moisturizing, but I find the packaging super ugly and it bugs me!

    I got to sample the Kiehl's ultra facial moisturzer.
    Little goes a long way and leaves skin feeling soft and hydrated. Great for using during winter.
    The only thing, that sort of bothers that it leaves a bit of an oily feeling.
    Little pricey.
    Also contains parabens.

    This is the ONLY moisturizer I will use on my face. I have been using it for about five years now and I swear by it. I love Kiehl's products and although they can be a little expensive (I find this lotion a little pricey), I also know that their products last me an entire year (at least!), so it's worth it. Other moisturizer creams make me break out and get little bumps on my forehead and cheeks. I have very sensitive skin and after going through several creams, to no avail, I finally came across this one and absolutely loved it. This moisturizer isn't greasy or heavy on your face and goes on nice and smooth. I occasionally will try other products (if I get free samples or something) but without fail, I always come back to this Kiehl's moisturizer.

    Part 3 of the Ultra Facial products. This is the original version. There is also the UF Moisturizer SPF 30 and UF Cream for harsher climates. The original is fast absorbing and good for all types including sensitive. This is a great product line from Kiehl's. A little does go along way. Worth it!

    Love it! You only need a small amount and even with my dry skin, the coverage was amazing. It left my face smooth and silky. It's very light, but works as if it is a cream!

    I first tried this product from a sample packet for a few days, and found it unnecessary for my skin at that time. My skin is pretty much normal, except it's a tad oiler on the forehead and a bit drier on my cheeks, so usually, I don't need these kinds of extra-creamy moisturizers.

    But then I went on vacation, directly applied some chemical sunscreen to my bare skin for a few days, and the skin around my cheeks started peeling! (I was also applying another new type of moisturizer to my skin after the sunscreen, but it didn't seem to be very moisturizing, at least not against the sunscreen.) I was horrified and I no clue what to do, until I remembered that I brought a deluxe sample of this product with me on this trip (it was actually supposed to be a gift with a few other items). I applied this product in the morning and before bed, and within a few days, my skin was back to normal. I was amazed.

    I think this product resembles a cream more than a moisturizer, and to this day, its overall consistency and smell reminds me strongly of kids' sunscreens (because I haven't encounted a kids' sunscreen with an elegant, smooth, and matte finish). This product is on the thicker side of moisturizers/creams, and leaves my face very oily-looking afterwards. I didn't mind this too much on my vacation, but back home, I think that if I were to use this product, I'd use it only at night, or I'd just smear it on my cheeks during the day - not my entire face. My skin doesn't seem to absorb this product very fast, and even after a night's sleep, if I put my finger to my face, my finger kind of "sticks" to my skin. However, I only need about a pea-size amount to cover my entire face, which is good, considering its price.

    On a side note, if I use this product a few hours after using my chemical sunscreen, there is this tingling feeling, which I'm assuming is some ingredient in the sunscreen reacting with some other ingredient in this product. But my face hasn't shown any outward sign of a bad reaction - to either the mixing of the ingredients or to the ingredients of this product itself - which is always a good sign. In fact, I'm kind of surprised that this seemingly very thick and greasy product hasn't made my sometimes-unpredictable skin act up! (My facial skin is relatively low maintenance, but it always reacts, to some degree, with any kind of chemical sunscreen.)

    I would definitely recommend this product to a friend! (If you're hesistant about the price or its results, you could head over to your local Kiehl's and ask for some samples.)

    I just remembered that this product turned my skin from dry and flaky to normal on its own - I didn't use any other product on my face (no makeup, no scrub or mask) during that period. It was truly impressive!
