Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream Sunscreen Moisturizer SPF 30 — Lightweight, 24H Hydration, Non-Greasy

Kiehl's SPF 30 Ultra Facial Cream Sunscreen Moisturizer is a lightweight daily face cream that hydrates for 24 hours while delivering broad-spectrum SPF 30 protection without a greasy finish.

This multi-tasking facial moisturizer combines reliable sun defense and daily hydration in a single step, formulated to suit a wide range of skin types including sensitive skin. It blends protective sun filters with hydrating actives—Fountain Plant and Glacial Glycoprotein—to support the skin’s moisture barrier and help skin feel comfortable through the day. The formula is designed to be non-greasy and fast-absorbing so it layers well under makeup or on bare skin.

How does this cream protect my skin from sun damage?

The product contains broad-spectrum sunscreen filters that shield skin from both UVA and UVB rays. For effective protection, apply it as the final step in your skincare routine about 15 minutes before sun exposure and reapply regularly. It’s SPF 30, which offers everyday defense for routine outdoor time and commuting.

• Broad-spectrum SPF 30 filters for UVA and UVB coverage
• Apply liberally 15 minutes before going outdoors
• Reapply every 2 hours when exposed to sun

Will it feel heavy or make my skin oily?

The Ultra Facial Cream Sunscreen Moisturizer is specifically formulated to be lightweight and non-greasy, absorbing quickly into skin. Users can expect a smooth, matte-to-natural finish that layers under makeup without pilling. It provides hydration without leaving a shiny residue, suitable for combination and oily skin types as well.

• Light, fast-absorbing texture that doesn’t feel heavy
• Non-greasy formula reduces shine on application
• Works under makeup and with daily skincare steps

What key ingredients deliver hydration and barrier support?

This formula includes Fountain Plant, an ingredient selected to help boost and retain skin hydration, plus Glacial Glycoprotein to support moisture levels in challenging conditions. Together they help maintain the skin’s moisture barrier so skin feels softer and less prone to dryness. The blend is chosen to be gentle and effective across skin types, including sensitive skin.

• Fountain Plant: helps increase and sustain skin hydration
• Glacial Glycoprotein: supports moisture retention in dry conditions
• Balanced emollients for a comfortable, non-irritating finish

How eco-conscious is the packaging and product?

Kiehl’s has updated the tube to reduce plastic usage—using approximately 40% less plastic compared with the prior packaging. The reduced-weight packaging maintains functionality while lowering material consumption. This step is part of Kiehl’s broader efforts to improve sustainability in product delivery.

• Lightweight tube uses -40% less plastic versus original packaging
• Designed for everyday use with a focus on reduced material use
• Packaging retains product protection and user convenience
