Is it noncomedogenic?
- Asked by Busydaydrraming
- Official Answer By Kiehl's - BEHello there! The term non-comedogenic indicates that the product has a low potential for clogging pores. The presence or absence of oil in a product does not mean a product will or will not be non-comedogenic. Not all products are tested for non-comedogenicity. If the non-comedogenic claim does not appear on the product, it is not an indication the product is comedogenic.Was this answer helpful to you

Swear by this product!
I have been using moisturizers since I was 12 but never found one that's really suit me. Ultra Facial Cream is my very first product I got from Kiehl's and I fell in love with it! Because I just moved to America, my dry skin is getting worse:( So my friend and internet sources recommended me to this...

Ugly surprise
I've been using this product for years and love it. I was shocked when I looked at the ingredients taped to the bottom of the jar for the first time today...it contains parabens. A serious buzzkill for my image of Kiehl's as a 'healthy' brand. So, all excellent, except that if it has parabens, it's ...

i love it
this brand is amazing
I always come back
This is a very reliable moisturizer for me. I already know it works for my sensitive skin and doesnt break me out. I dont consider it the most moisturizing cream that i tried but it gets the job done. Also works great under makeup.
Great product
This product wasnt as thick as I would've liked it but it absorbs well and is for dry skin. This is definitely an everyday face moisturizer.
It Works
This works real well for my skin. I've tried other products and none have worked as well as this one. It's a little expensive, but for me a little goes a long way. I have super picky and sensitive skin, and this was the moisturizing answer it needed. The texture is really nice and creamy, it doesn't pill, and there is almost no noticeable smell to it.
Pores
Emphasized my pores and blackhead, not worth it especially for the price point.
