KIEHL'S @ Ultra Facial Cream

KIEHL'S chemists are known industry-wide to "go the extra mile" by torture-testing their highly effective formulas in some of the most remote places on earth. To ensure it hydrates even the most parched skin, Kiehl's has sent its legendary <Ultra Facial Cream> to the uncharted peaks of Greenland, 282 feet below sea level in Death Valley, 13,000 vertical feet to The Mount Whitney Portal and this year, across the frozen sea ice of the North Pole. Most skincare products claiming 24 hour hydration are never exposed to real environmental elements to prove their all-day endurance. To test the performance of its iconic Ultra Facial Cream, Kiehl's partnered with adventure explorer and polar guide Doug Stoup, on his recent expedition to the North Pole in the Arctic Ocean. Amid waters that are almost permanently covered with constantly shifting sea ice, The North pole has some of the harshest conditions in the world with temperatures reaching as low as -43 degrees C. "I use Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream on my polar expeditions, as it really prevents my skin from drying and chapping. This product really works and I depend on it to provide 24 hours of continuous hydration." Shares Doug Stoup, polar expedition expert. "This formula helped my face feel moisturized under sch extreme coditions and this hydration helped me look 10 years younger. I've been exploring for a long time now, in some of the wildest places you can imagine and it can be heel on my skin. Chapping, cracking, peeling."

As many skincare companies offer 24, 48, and even 72 hours of hydration, Kiehl’s chemists never trend chasers focus on ensuring Ultra Facial Cream offers much more than surface hydration. To prove the efficacy of the iconic formula that was invented 8 years ago, Kiehl’s chemists conducted new studies to test not only for duration of hydration, but for overall skin health indicators, including improvement of skin softness, smoothness, and radiance. In this clinical study, Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream was proven to show significant improvement in key attributes of healthy skin:

Improves skin radiance by 32%

Improves skin softness by 54%

Improves skin smoothness by 42%
