Elevate Your Apothecary Skincare with Kiehl’s Products

For decades, Kiehl’s has masterfully blended nature and science to craft skincare rooted in a rich apothecary heritage. From ultra-hydrating moisturizers to acne-fighting treatments and protective sunscreens, Kiehl’s redefines how we care for our skin, layer by layer, day by day. Elevating your skincare routine doesn’t require complexity or clutter. It simply takes the right combination of high-performance, skin-nourishing ingredients delivered through clean, effective formulas. With a focus on results and simplicity, Kiehl’s offers products that turn everyday care into a ritual of renewal. Let’s explore three standout essentials designed to transform your skin and your skincare experience for the better.
Hydration Hero: Ultra Facial Cream with Squalane
Start your journey with Kiehl’s iconic Ultra Facial Cream, the #1 ultra-hydrating facial moisturizer formulated with 4.5% Squalane. This best-selling cream offers up to 72 hours of hydration, penetrating 15 surface layers deep to nourish your skin where it matters most. Clinically tested and proven, it helps strengthen your skin's barrier and leaves your face feeling soft, smooth, and visibly healthier.
What makes it exceptional is its clean, minimalist formula. The cream is paraben-free, fragrance-free, and has earned the National Eczema Association's Seal of Acceptance™, making it a gentle yet powerful solution for all skin types, including sensitive skin. Lightweight and non-greasy, it absorbs effortlessly into your skin, making it ideal for both morning and evening use.
Infused with skin-strengthening Squalane, moisture-retaining Glacial Glycoprotein, and barrier-supporting Pro-Ceramides, the Ultra Facial Cream has been clinically demonstrated to repair the skin barrier in just 1 hour, reduce visible redness in 85% of users, and deliver hydration that truly lasts. Whether you’re facing dry winter winds or humid summer heat, this moisturizer is tested in both everyday and extreme environments to ensure it keeps your skin balanced, calm, and comfortable.
To use, simply cleanse and tone your face, then apply a dime-sized amount of cream. Massage gently into your skin and let the hydration sink in. For optimal results, use twice daily in the morning and before bed as a foundational part of your skincare routine.

Clear Skin Savior: Truly Targeted Acne-Clearing Pimple Patch with Salicylic Acid
When blemishes appear, fast and effective treatment is key. Kiehl’s delivers exactly that with the Truly Targeted Acne-Clearing Pimple Patch, a high-performance liquid patch formulated with 2% Salicylic Acid, 4% Niacinamide, and 0.2% Licorice Root Extract. Together, these ingredients create a powerful blend that fights active breakouts, calms inflammation, and fades post-acne marks over time.
What sets this treatment apart is its invisible “liquid patch” technology, a breathable seal that dries seamlessly over pimples, layers perfectly under sunscreen and makeup, and shields the skin from external aggressors while treating it from within. The formula is ideal for acne-prone skin and is gentle enough to use both morning and night.
In clinical testing, users experienced a visible calming of pimple redness in just 2 hours, while pimple size was reduced in 24 hours, and post-blemish marks significantly faded in 4 weeks. The light consistency allows for precise application without over-rubbing or irritation.
To use, apply a small drop to your fingertip, then gently dab directly onto the pimple, spreading it into a thin, even layer. Let it fully dry before following with your SPF or makeup routine. You’ll love how quickly it works and how discreetly it does its job.
Daily Defense: Better Screen™ UV Serum SPF 50+ with Collagen Peptide
No skincare routine is complete without sun protection, and Better Screen™ UV Serum SPF 50+ takes sun care to a whole new level. This advanced sunscreen-serum hybrid is designed to protect your skin against UVA and UVB rays while actively working to visibly correct early signs of aging like uneven skin tone and texture.
Infused with Collagen Peptide, the serum helps improve skin’s radiance and resilience, making it not just a shield, but a reparative treatment. Its invisible finish blends effortlessly across all skin tones without leaving behind any white cast, making it ideal for everyday wear under makeup or on its own.
The formula is clinically demonstrated to protect and correct, all while maintaining a lightweight, serum-like texture that doesn’t clog pores or weigh down oily or acne-prone skin. Plus, it comes in a glass bottle made with post-consumer recycled materials, aligning with Kiehl’s commitment to sustainability.
To use, apply the serum generously as the last step of your skincare routine. Wait 15 minutes before UV exposure, and reapply every two hours, especially if you’re spending time outdoors. With Better Screen, you're not just protecting your skin from the future—you’re actively improving it today.
