Kiehl's Ultra Facial Oil Free Lotion

After getting a mini 1 oz. bottle of Kiehl's Ultra Facial Oil Free Lotion in my June Birchbox I seriously think I'm hooked. I'm always on the lookout for a good face lotion and I've never found one that I just really enjoyed until now.

Kiehl's Ultra Facial Oil Free Lotion is fragrance free, oil free, paraben free, and silicone-free.

This lotion is AMAZING! I have very oily, sensitive skin. It stays clear as long as I don't use something crazy on it. I know what does and doesn't work for me and I check ingredient lists on products like there is no tomorrow. This lotion works SO incredibly well for me. It helps to regulate your skin's oil production and it really truly works. My skin stays moisturized and feels cleaner now that I have been using this lotion. I've been using it over a week now and have had zero breakouts and only major improvement.

Here's some info from Birchbox.com:
Birchbox Breakdown

You’ve heard it before — the biggest mistake that people with combination or oily skin make is skipping moisturizer. Your skin needs hydration, no matter how shiny your t-zone gets. Plus, the right products — like Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Oil-Free Lotion — will actually keep oil levels in check. This light formulation adds hydration without feeling heavy, and keeps skin balanced.

How it Works

The lotion uses Antarctine and Imperata Cylindrica, two water-infused humectants that draw moisture from the air into the skin. At the same time, naturally derived sugar creates an invisible protective layer that keeps hydration locked in. Finally, it uses an innovative oil-free conditioner that is compatible with the sebum in the skin; the ingredient sends a signal to cells that the skin is adequately hydrated. As a result, the skin produces less oil and shine — pretty amazing!


This is a brand new product from Kiehl's and it will be available July 1st. The full size bottle is 4.2 oz and will retail for $24.50.
