My Experience with Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cleanser:

It’s a translucent white cleanser that foams up pretty well when you apply it on your skin.
It’s pretty gentle on skin and never made my skin extra drying or itchy after I washed my face with it. I would say that it does dry my skin but nothing that a regular moisturizer cannot take care of.
The most special thing about this cleanser is that it also dissolves your face makeup. I have washed my face with Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cleanser after full makeup on and to my surprise, every last bit of makeup comes off. I have never tried removing my eye makeup with it because it’s mentioned on the tube to avoid the cleanser on the direct eye area.
It smell painfully medicinal. Sometimes I feel I am washing my face with a disprin+ water paste.
It comes in a squeeze tube so it’s easier to carry around and also control the amount of product that comes out of the tube.

A little goes a long way. You just need a pea size amount for your face.
It doesn’t leave any greasy cast or residue behind after you wash your face.
It does contain SLS so those who prefer soap-free cleansers , this one is not for you.

Overall I would say it’s a great product but I can live without it. People with normal-oily skin would love Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cleanser the most. It kind of sucks out the dirt without really stripping off the extra moisture from your skin. It does maintain the skin’s natural balance. Also, if you are looking for a two in one (makeup remover + cleanser) product, it’s a great pick.

Honestly, my purchasing decision would solely be based on the price because as of now, I do have some good facial cleansers with me.
