Very good

The truth is, you could own the most expensive serums in the world, but if you don’t prep your skin correctly, you’re simply wasting them! For a long time, I felt like my skincare products were just “sitting” on the surface of my skin instead of penetrating deeply. The missing piece? Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Toner!

A solid face balm

Nice face balm that you can put directly onto your face before applying your face cream. Nice to apply when you think your face needs a bit extra moisture. It’s like a lip balm. Solid, so you can take it in your handbag without worrying about it leaking

Noticeably hydrating and protective

The Ultra Facial Barrier Balm feels noticeably more hydrating and protective than similar products I have tried, and I could see and feel a clear difference. The texture is quite thick and heavy, so only a small amount is needed, but it provides lasting moisture and effective barrier support. A particularly good option for warmer months when the skin needs extra protection.

A little magic stick!!!

Wow!!! something that I never realised even existed or needed. I suffer with dry patches on my cheeks and nose and this really shows when I apply makeup. However this balm has helped restore that moisture and support those dry patches!!

great little stick

I’m prone to dry patches, especially around my nose, mouth and t-zone. This product is perfect for improving the dryness in these areas quickly outside of my normal skincare routine. I love the balm texture and how the formula sits light on the skin but retains moisture. I also use this as my makeup primer and it seriously has been such a game changer.

Saved my windburned skin

This balm has a thick, waxy texture that melts instantly. No scent, which I love. It completely stopped the flaking on my cheeks after just two nights. A true holy grail.
