This oil-free cleanser is a riff on Kiehl’s beloved Ultra Facial Cleanser. Formulated for normal to oily skin types (but gentle enough for sensitive skin), the quick-lathering foam thoroughly removes impurities and excess oil. Plus, Kiehl's iconic blue packaging looks great on your sink ledge.
My super oily and blemish-prone skin borderlines on the sensitive side, and this product literally hurt! It stung my face and lips so badly while I was washing and was super drying and harsh. After I rinsed off and patted my face dry, my skin was red and irritated. I've never had a reaction quite like this to other products, and I've been on dermatologist regimes (read: harsh!) for my acne since I was 12. I will not even give this product a second chance!
1I've tried a lot of cleansers to figure out what would be good for my face. This certainly isn't. The product says that it has a "non-stripping formula" that isn't "over-drying." After I used it, I felt like my face had been stripped of everything it had, and I had to rush to a moisturizer immediately after using it. If I could give it zero, I would.
