Perfect for Acne-Prone Skin!

The Expertly Clear Moisturizer is a lifesaver for managing acne. With 1.2% Salicylic Acid and 2% Niacinamide, it clears existing breakouts while preventing new ones. It hydrates without feeling heavy or greasy, making it ideal for daily use. If you’re looking for an effective, skin-friendly solution, this is it!

I love this product.

As I am getting into my 40s I was looking for a new skin care regimen to help with dry/oily combination skin. I wanted a product that could give me more moisture, especially during winter months and could fight random breakouts. My skin has never felt smoother. Just a small amount does the trick after my Kiehls cleanser. I love the outcome of using both products together so it makes it easy to remember to use them daily and nightly.

Reduces breakouts!

Kiehl's Expertly Clear Moisturizer is tailored for acne-prone skin, featuring salicylic acid to help reduce breakouts while providing hydration. Its lightweight, non-greasy formula absorbs quickly, making it ideal for daily use. However, it may be pricier than drugstore options. Overall, it's a solid choice for those seeking effective hydration alongside acne treatment. It did help me reduce some breakouts.
