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 in a non-greasy formula suitable for all skin types.

This all-in-one daily moisturizer combines Kiehl's hydrating Ultra Facial base with chemical and/or physical sunscreen filters to defend against UVA and UVB rays while helping support the skin’s moisture barrier. Designed for everyday use, it layers as the final step in your morning routine and aims to leave skin feeling soft, comfortable, and protected, with packaging that uses less plastic than previous versions.

How does this moisturizer protect my skin during daily outdoor exposure?

The SPF 30 formulation provides broad-spectrum defense against UVA and UVB rays when applied correctly. It should be used as the last step in your morning skincare routine, applied liberally and reapplied every two hours during extended sun exposure.

• Broad-spectrum SPF 30 filters reduce sun-induced damage from UVA and UVB.
• Apply 15 minutes before sun exposure for best performance.
• Reapply at least every two hours when outdoors or after sweating/swimming.
• Works as daily protection under makeup or on bare skin.

What kind of hydration and active ingredients are included?

The cream features Kiehl's Fountain Plant and Glacial Glycoprotein, ingredients selected to support hydration and moisture retention. They help strengthen the skin’s barrier so it holds water longer, which contributes to a smoother appearance.

• Fountain Plant helps boost and maintain skin hydration over time.
• Glacial Glycoprotein aids moisture retention in dry or cold conditions.
• Lightweight formulation delivers 24-hour hydration without heaviness.
• Non-greasy texture absorbs quickly for comfortable daily wear.

Will this cream work with sensitive, oily, or acne-prone skin?

The product is formulated for universal use across skin types, including sensitive skin. Its non-greasy, lightweight finish makes it suitable for normal, dry, oily, and combination complexions; however, if you have reactive skin, test a small area first or consult a dermatologist.

• Non-comedogenic profile designed to minimize pore clogging.
• Light texture reduces shine, making it friendly for oilier skin.
• Suitable for sensitive skin when patch-tested prior to daily use.
• Can be layered under makeup without pilling.

How does this product fit into a sustainable skincare routine?

Kiehl's has updated the packaging to use approximately 40% less plastic than previous versions, reducing waste while maintaining product performance. The cream itself is intended for daily use, supporting a minimal, consolidated morning routine by combining hydration and sun protection.

• New lightweight packaging reduces plastic content by about 40%.
• Two-in-one moisturizer + SPF simplifies your AM steps.
• Take only what you need to minimize leftover product waste.
• Recycle local-accepted components when possible.

Who is this for: Kiehl's SPF 30 Ultra Facial Cream Sunscreen Moisturizer is aimed at anyone seeking a simple morning solution that merges reliable daily sun defense with long-lasting hydration. It’s well suited for commuters, outdoor workers, makeup wearers who want a smooth base, and anyone who prefers a lightweight, non-greasy formula that can be used across multiple skin types. If you have very reactive or acne-prone skin, consider a patch test or professional advice before making it your everyday sunscreen moisturizer.
