Ultra Facial Cream with Squalane

One of Kiehl's longest-running moisturizers, this cream uses squalane alongside apricot kernel, avocado and rice bran oils to keep skin hydrated through the day. Pseudoalteromonas ferment extract (what Kiehl's calls glacial glycoprotein) and a pseudo-ceramide help reinforce the moisture barrier. Light enough for daily use on normal to combination skin, though drier skin types often need to layer something richer over it in winter.
