Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream Intense Hydration

Introducing the latest Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream Intense Hydration for drier skin types. This is suitable for the skin type like mine. The new formulation provides improved 24 hour hydration and leaves skin looking visibly smoother. Clinical results demonstrated significant improvements on visible skin dryness in just 7 days. Very dry skin, sometimes called xeroderma or asteatosis, is a common skin condition. It is characterized by a lack of the appropriate amount of water and lipids retained in the superficial layers of the skin. Skin suffering from dehydration struggles to preserve optimal moisture reserves. 

Those with very dry skin might experience more intense symptoms than normal or combination skin: dry and very dry skin can feel itchy and tight, and look flaky or prematurely aged. What very dry skin needs is not simply any old heavy moisturizer – it needs an effective one that penetrates well and integrates into the stratum corneum to deliver moisture continuously throughout the day and night. Many products on the market are thick and occlusive and, even to those with the driest skin, can feel and look greasy, yet thy hydration they provide is limited and still requires reapplication throughout the day.

Unlike heavy creams available on the market to treat dry skin types, Ultra Facial Cream Intense Hydration does not use traditional thickeners such as waxes or butters that can feel heavy on the skin. Instead, it employs a lightweight cream foundation to impart a moisturizing yet weightless feel to the skin.

The chemists at Kiehl’s focused on a key ingredient, Enriched Hyaluronic Acid, a co-encapsulation of two hydrating molecules that work to complement each other and provide powerful, multi-action hydration benefits. This co-encapsulation is designed to “break” upon application to skin to deliver concentrated hydration pockets, providing immediate moisture that leaves skin hydrated for 24 hours. The result is an increase in the skin’s ability to capture moisture in the outermost layer of the epidermis, “filling the cracks” of dry skin. Refined Apricot Oil, an ingredient highly compatible with skin, is a refined fruit oil that contains Omegas 3, 6, and 9 as well as essential fatty acids.  The formula, with Refined Apricot Oil, helps condition and soften the skin to reduce visible dryness and flakiness.

Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream Intense Hydration is retail at RM100 for 50ml in all Kiehl's Boutiques and counters in Malaysia.
