Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cleanser, pH-Balanced Foaming Face Wash
Product description
A pH-balanced formula with squalane, avocado oil, and glycerin cleanses while helping maintain skin’s natural moisture barrier. Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cleanser is made for everyday face washing without stripping away essential oils.
Use it morning or night as the first step in your skincare routine. Massage onto damp skin in gentle, upward circular motions, avoiding the immediate eye area, then follow with your preferred serum and moisturizer.
If you need a straightforward daily wash, this cleanser covers that role, if your routine also calls for makeup removal, it is formulated to remove makeup along with dirt and oil. Its fragrance-free formula is suitable for all skin types, including dry and sensitive skin.
Tips for day-to-day use
Wet your face, then gently massage the cleanser over damp skin using upward circular motions. Keep it away from the immediate eye area. Use it in the morning, at night, or both as the opening step before toner, serum, and moisturizer. This makes it easy to place in a routine whether you are washing away the day’s buildup or preparing skin for the products that follow.
The formula is dermatologist-tested and pH-balanced, with squalane, avocado oil, and glycerin. Those ingredients are part of a cleanser designed to remove makeup, dirt, and oil while helping maintain the skin’s natural balance and essential moisture. The fragrance-free formula is also made without parabens, mineral oil, or dyes. Its packaging is recyclable.

Why it makes sense
A daily cleanser needs to fit into a routine without making the wash step complicated. Ultra Facial Cleanser can be used morning and night, and its stated uses include cleansing away makeup, dirt, and oil. That makes it a practical choice for someone looking for one face wash to use both at the start of the day and as part of an evening routine, rather than keeping separate basic and makeup-removing cleansers.
Its moisture-conscious approach is another reason to consider it: the pH-balanced formula is designed to cleanse without stripping essential oils, while squalane, avocado oil, and glycerin support a gentle, hydrating wash. Buyers commonly describe the cleanser as effective and gentle, and appreciate its creamy feel and how their skin feels after use. These impressions reflect individual preferences, but they align with its intended role as an everyday cleanser for a range of skin types.
When it makes sense
It’s a great fit if you want a fragrance-free face wash for a regular morning-and-evening routine, especially when dry or sensitive skin makes a gentle cleansing approach important. It also suits routines that begin with makeup removal before serum and moisturizer. For someone choosing between a cleanser focused only on a quick wash and one formulated to remove makeup as well as everyday dirt and oil, this option brings both tasks into the same step. Its combination of a pH-balanced formula, moisturizing ingredients, and simple damp-skin application makes it particularly useful as the cleansing step in a consistent skincare routine.
