It’s no secret that Kiehls creates some of the best skincare products on the market. Their facial moisturizers/cleansers are perfect for any type of skin and their customer representatives are some of the most knowledgeable around. Although I love many of their products, my favorite by far though is their Ultra Facial Cream.
I know what you’re thinking, what makes this product “ultra”? Well for starters, it’s loaded with awesome ingredients like Antarcticine (a glacial glycoprotein from Antarctica), Imperata Cylindrica (a desert plant extract that helps naturally retain moisture), Squalane Oil (a fatty compound that is found in olive oil), Avocado Oil, and Vitamin E. When combined these components create an incredibly light 24 hr. hydrator for your face and the best part is it can be used on any skin type!
I have the dreaded super sensitive/oily/dry combo skin that makes winter a total pain in the ass. Anything and everything I had tried in the past to add some moisture back to my drying areas made me break out: until I used this product. Its got the lightness of a gel with the hydrating power of a cream. Perfect! I’ve used it all season and I’ve yet to have a problem. If you’ve got skin like mine (and even if you don’t), you should go out and get this product. A 1.7 oz jar will only cost you $24.50 and you can get it in any Kiehls location.
It’s also no secret that Milk and Cookies Bakery has some of the best cookies in NYC. Fresh, delicious, and hot out of the oven, the crew at Milk and Cookies love their craft and it shows in every chocolate chipped, oatmeal laden, butterscotch injected morsel. When I heard that these two born and bred NY institutions were going to team up for a coffee bar in Kiehls flagship store, I got seriously excited. Only Kiehls would give me the opportunity to indulge in warm chocolately goodness while perusing for a new eye cream. It’s brilliant!
Kiehls, you’ve just given me one more reason to love you.

Nice product review. I was recommended the same product by myskin.com after analyzing my skin type. I will try this.
