Our Product

Why We Love It
Our best face moisturizer does more than hydrate, smooth, and soften–it also strengthens skin’s barrier in two ways. First, it strengthens skin on the surface, so that it can better retain moisture. Secondly, it helps maintain skin’s moisture deep within the skin barrier.

Before and After
Our #1 Ultra Facial Cream is clinically proven to provide deep, lasting hydration:
- Hydrates skin 15 layers deep*
- Barrier repair in just 1 hour**
- 72-hour hydration***

Why We Love It
Did you know our Avocado Eye Cream can be used as a 10-minute mask? Apply a thick layer around the eye area to visibly smooth and hydrate.
Step 1:Apply a thick layer of Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado around the eye area.
Step 2:After 10-minutes, gently wipe away to reveal brighter, revitalized under eyes.

Makeup Hack
Our hydrating eye cream doubles as an under eye makeup primer.*
- Blurs eye texture before makeup application

Kiehl's: Staying True to Nature, Focused on Skincare
Founded in 1851 in Manhattan, New York, Kiehl's began as a pharmacy at the intersection of Third Avenue and 13th Street. The founder, Mr. John Kiehl, was a typical 19th-century pharmacist who continuously sought and developed effective formulations, providing New Yorkers with medicinal tonics and ointments extracted from natural ingredients, building an excellent reputation within the community.
In 1921, the pharmacy was passed down to Mr. Kiehl's apprentice, an outstanding graduate of the Columbia University College of Pharmacy, who began the Morse family's management of Kiehl's and expanded the business comprehensively. Products included tea, herbs, essential oils, honey, and original products under the Kiehl's brand.
In 2000, to meet the growing consumer demand for Kiehl's products, Jami Morse, the granddaughter of Irving Morse, decided to partner with the L'Oréal Group.

Old-World Apothecary Beginnings
The original Kiehl’s apothecary first serves patrons at the corner of 13th Street and Third Avenue in New York City.

Enter John Kiehl
After honing his trade as an ambitious apprentice, pharmacist John Kiehl purchases the apothecary. John Kiehl & Co. begins operations under “Kiehl Pharmacy.”

Aaron Morse Turns Up the Science

Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SQUALANE AND SQUALENE?
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SQUALANE AND SQUALENE?
While they are related, Squalane and Squalene are not identical. Squalane is the hydrogenated form of Squalene. Squalene is naturally occurring in our bodies and makes up around 13% of the skin’s sebum, helping to protect the skin’s barrier and seal in moisture. In our moisturizing cream, we derive the same skin benefits from Squalane, which is stable against heat and oxidation making it ideal for skincare formulations.
HOW IS THE SQUALANE IN ULTRA FACIAL CREAM SOURCED?
