So, one may wonder why so many heart the Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cleanser? Well, for one, it is the ingredients formulated in the cleanser that makes it gentle, mild and yet effective.

So, it is vegan and cruelty-free! Olive Squalane is a natural derivative which makes it non-greasy yet excellent for adding moisture and softness to the skin. In addition, it is useful for preventing age spots, minimizing wrinkles and for helping improve even the driest areas.
Apricot Kernel oil has impressive attributes. For one, it gets absorbed by the skin quickly and does not make it oily. Apricot oil is useful in maintaining the smooth, shiny and soft appearance of the skin. Its softening quality comes from its high content of Vitamin C. In addition, this oil can treat a variety of skin conditions, namely, eczema, dermatitis and other irritating conditions. The healthy amount of vitamin A and Vitamin C protect the skin from the effects of free radicals, which can lead to skin deterioration and signs of premature aging.
Avocado oil is loaded with essential fatty acids, beta-carotene, protein, lecithin and vitamins, including A, D, and E. Its antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties help the skin stay smooth, strong and elastic. In addition, it can calm and heal itchy and chapped skin, replenish dry skin and hydrate and moisturize it, shield it from damaging UV rays and protect against skin damage and as a result increase collagen.
Vitamin E can do wonder for the skin! It is considered to be a remarkable antioxidant. Vitamin E works to block free radicals from the body, which are a big culprit in causing the aging of the skin. If we can fight off free radicals, then we can reduce the stubborn wrinkles and keep the skin youthful-looking for as long as we can. It’s also an anti-inflammatory, so it can calm and hydrate even the most sensitive skin.
