Product Description:

This mild cleanser is specially formulated with a sugar-derived glycoside foaming agent to thoroughly cleanse skin and remove makeup, without over-drying or stripping skin of its natural oils. With effective emollients squalane, apricot kernel oil, vitamin E, and avacado Oil, our gentle formula dissolves excess oil, dirt and debris. pH-balanced to maintain skin's natural balance. Tested for safety and gentleness.

Ingredients:

A-prih-kaht KUR-nuhl OY-il 
Apricot Kernel Oil is extracted from apricot kernels and has a very high Vitamin E content (aiding fast absorption) and is a trygliceride composed of 75% oleic acid and 20% linoleic acid, and unsaturated fatty acids esterified with glycerin - similar to avocado oil and sesame oil. Found to be highly compatible with the skin. Apricot Kernel Oil moisturizes and softens skin while helping retain clarity and suppleness. 

Ah’-voh-KAH-doh OY-il 
Avocado Oil, derived from the fruit of a tropical American tree, is a rich, fatty-acid emollient. Avocado Oil is known to be the most moisturizing of any fruit oil. It is also a natural source of Amino Acid proteins, Vitamins A, D, E, and potassium. Helps to restore the natural moisture of the skin. 

Squalane is a healing botanical lipid with a high affinity for skin to instantly restore and replenish.

Price: INR 1200 for 150 ml.

Direction for Use:

Apply a small amount to clean fingertips and gently massage into damp facial areas in upward, circular motion avoiding the immediate eye area. Rinse thoroughly or assure removal of cleanser residue with a damp wash cloth.

My views on Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cleanser:

 

I always wanted a cleanser that worked on my oily skin, without stripping of extra oil and that is super gentle. I can say I have finally found a cleanser i am so in love with. Its gellish-creamy in texture, foams beautifully and makes my skin soft and squeaky clean. It dissolves my face makeup and removes the last traces of it. It has never dried my skin in any way and neither caused any breakouts.

The above pic is of trial size ultra facial cleanser from Kiehl's. The full size product comes in a squeeze tube with flip cap. You can squeeze just the amount you need and there is no product wastage. Its travel friendly and hygienic. I will surely purchase the full size product because its absolutely amazing. It has a weird fragrance but that i can ignore.

Pros:

1. Ultra gentle cleanser.
2. Removes all traces of face makeup.
3. Foams well.
4. A little product is needed, so the tube goes for a good amount of time.
5. Travel friendly and hygienic.

Cons:

I am not a fan of the fragrance.

Recommendation:

If you are looking out for an ultra gentle facial cleanser, that will remove even the face makeup without over drying the face then Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cleanser is not gonna be disappointing at all. I am in love with it and will surely be repurchasing the full size.
