Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cleanser gentle foaming face wash, 8.4 oz — hydrating, fragrance-free

Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cleanser is a gentle, pH-balanced foaming face wash that removes makeup, oil, and dirt while helping maintain skin's natural moisture.

Designed as a daily first-step cleanser, this fragrance-free formula combines squalane, avocado oil, and glycerin to lift away impurities without stripping natural oils. Dermatologist-tested and suitable for sensitive and dry skin, the cleanser produces a soft foam that rinses clean and leaves skin feeling refreshed and comfortable. Its recyclable packaging also aligns with eco-conscious routines.

How does this cleanser remove makeup and oil without drying skin?

The formula balances gentle surfactants with hydrating ingredients so it cleans effectively yet preserves the skin barrier. Squalane and glycerin help replenish and retain moisture while avocado oil supports a smoother skin surface. Together these actives let the cleanser lift debris without producing a tight, dry after-feel.
