Ultra Facial Cream with Squalane — Reddit Reviews
by Kiehl's
Updated October 8, 2026
Squalane-rich cream that saves dry, tret-flayed skin; sometimes too heavy.
What the community says
A rich daily moisturizer built around squalane, glycerin, and dimethicone that a lot of tret users reach for when their barrier feels trashed. Best for dry, combo, or sensitive skin; oily-acne-prone folks sometimes find it heavy or pore-clogging.
