This Kiehl’s moisturizer is a trusted skin-care staple for a reason—it has a lightweight formula that feels soothing when applied to the skin and leaves a lasting drying effect. Kiran Mian, MD, a board-certified dermatologist at Hudson Dermatology and Laser Surgery, calls this cream a “universal hydrator,” and says it’s particularly great for anyone with dry or combination skin. “It has squalane and glycerin along with pro-ceramides, which really help repair the moisture barrier.”
“This is the moisturizer I rely on every time I’m traveling because I know it will keep my skin balanced and not overly dry or overly oily. It’s not greasy, absorbs quickly and instantly hydrates my moody, flaky areas that tend to crop up if I’m flying or visiting a vastly different climate. I also like how lightweight it is and how well it pairs under primer and makeup, there’s never a pill in sight!” says Glamour’s Kilkeary.
