Kiehl's Ultra Facial Product Review

A month ago, the representative of Kiehl's Indonesia was kind enough to send some of their products from the Kiehl's Ultra Facial line for some beauty bloggers to try. I was pretty new to Kiehl's (actually I've never tried any of their products before) so I was excited about the fact that I was about to try some of their sample.

"Kiehl’s Since 1851, the venerable New York-based purveyor of fine quality skin and hair care is introducing two formulas inspired by its classic Ultra Facial Moisturizer – Ultra Facial Cleanser and Ultra Facial Toner. Kiehl’s original Ultra Facial Moisturizer lotion was first offered in the early 1970s and since that time, loyal patrons have come to rely on the formula’s superb hydration benefits."

So I was sent four products from Ultra Facial line, including the cleanser, toner, face cream and face moisturizer.

Ultra Facial Cleanser
To me, this cleanser is a winner. I love this cleanser very much. First of all, it lathers very well that I need just a small amount for my whole face. Kiehl's Indonesia is so generous. The sample the sent is enough for more than two weeks. This promised to be an ultra-mild cleanse which is so true. I love how gentle this cleanser feels on my skin. I can tell because this doesn't sting my eyes while I'm washing my face. This cleanser doesn't strip and it makes my skin feels so soft afterwards. Definitely in love with this.

Maybe a little bit of a downfall here, as I said earlier, a little amount of this cleanser is enough but unfortunately the aperture of the tube is a little bit too wide, it tends to dispense too much product so I got some products wasted. Another thing that I dislike is the fact that the tube comes with screw lids, which is never been my favorite in any skincare or makeup products. But then again, mine is a sample. Hopefully this isn't the case with the full size packaging. And from the picture of the actual products it looks like it has a snap lock lid instead. which is good.

KEY INGREDIENTS:
Squalane, Vitamin E, Apricot Kernel Oil, Avocado Oil, Sweet Almond Oil

Size: 5 oz./150 ml
You can purchase this at Kiehl's counter with estimated price of IDR 235,000


Ultra Facial Toner
Another thing that I love although I can really say much because the sample doesn't really last me for long. I'm a type of person who loves to soak my face with toner after I rinse my cleanser so I ran out of toner after only three applications. Haha.. But I love the first three impressions of this toner. It's a little bit thicker than my usual toner and it as this kind of milky appearance. It removes surface debris and any remaining residue and also hydrates my skin. Feels very comfortable afterwards and I love it so much. And the alcohol free formula makes it suitable for sensitive skin.

KEY INGREDIENTS:
Squalane, Vitamin E, Vitamin C, Avocado Oil, Apricot Kernel Oil, Sweet Almond Oil


Size: 8.4 oz./250 ml
You can purchase this at Kiehl's counter with estimated price of IDR Rp 235,000


Ultra Facial Cream
Honestly I was a little bit skeptical about trying new skincare line especially moisturizer. My skin is sensitive and I get breakout so easily.

Funny story, I did get breakout after two weeks wearing this. So I stopped using it but three weeks after I stopped using this, my break out is getting even worse. Thankfully it wasn't this cream that caused my breakout (apparently it was my sunblock, but that's another story) soI started wearing this again. Which is why this post is so long overdue. My bad.

About the cream, it's for all skin type. I wear this in the morning because I'm exposed to air conditioner everyday. This cream absorbed very well into my skin. I'm currently on skin treatment using Retinoic acid and is very dry. But this cream hydrates my skin for the whole day without making me look overly greasy.

KEY INGREDIENTS:
Antarcticine (a glacial glycoprotein sourced in Antarctica), Imperata Cylindrica (a desert plant extract indigenous to the Australian Outback), Squalane, Avocado Oil, Tocopherol (Vitamin E)

Size: 1.7 oz./50 ml
You can purchase this at Kiehl's counter with estimated price of IDR 298,000


Ultra Facial Moisturizer
The last product I tried is the moisturizer. This moisturizer is a lightweight lotion. Honestly I didn't use it that much. I tried it and it appears greasier than the cream which is weird considering this is the lighter formula. So yeah, not a big fan. However, the result may vary on different people. This might work for you if your skin doesn't need too much moisturizer.

KEY INGREDIENTS:
Squalane, Vitamin E, Vitamin C, Avocado Oil, Apricot Kernel Oil, Sweet Almond Oil

Size: 4 oz./125 ml
You can purchase this at Kiehl's counter with estimated price of IDR 298,000 (125ml)
