Ultra Facial Advanced Repair Barrier Cream

Kiehl's Ultra Facial Advanced Repair Barrier Cream is the step-up option for skin that plain moisturiser isn't fixing. A rich cream built on colloidal oatmeal and beta glucan, it comforts dry to very dry skin, supports a stressed moisture barrier and visibly calms the redness that dryness causes.

What it actually does

• Relieves dry, uncomfortable skin. Designed for dryness triggered by both external aggressors (weather, wind, harsh products) and internal ones.
• Soothes with colloidal oatmeal — a classic calming ingredient Kiehl's highlights for comforting and supporting the skin.
• Nourishes with beta glucan, which the brand credits with helping sensitised skin look smoother and healthier.
• Visibly reduces dryness-related redness while reinforcing the moisture barrier.
• Versatile beyond the face: Kiehl's suggests it for dry lips' edges, windburn, the eye area, rough patches and itchy, irritated spots.

How to use

1. Apply after your serum, adjusting the amount to how dry your skin feels.
2. Massage in gentle circles until the cream melts in.
3. Dry or sensitive skin? Use it morning and night.
4. Use it instead of your usual moisturiser, or layer it over Ultra Facial Cream (sold separately) when your barrier needs extra help.
5. Focus on compromised, flaky or distressed areas — that's where it earns its name.

Questions

How is this different from Ultra Facial Cream?

This is the intensive, barrier-repair version — richer, and centred on colloidal oatmeal and beta glucan to calm and rebuild. Kiehl's positions it either as a replacement for your moisturiser or as a top layer over Ultra Facial Cream for extra repair.

Can I use it around the eyes or on irritated patches?

Yes — the brand specifically suggests it for the eye area, around dry lips, on windburn and on rough or itchy, irritated skin.

Is it only for dry skin types?

No — it's formulated for normal, dry, combination and oily skin. Any skin type can go through a dry, sensitised phase; this is the product for those phases.
