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.

This moisturizer is a game-changer! I’ve struggled with acne for years, but since using this, my skin has been so much clearer. It treats and prevents breakouts without drying me out. I love that it’s gentle and keeps my skin hydrated. Definitely recommend for anyone with acne-prone skin!

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.

Didn’t work for me

unfortunately it didn’t work for me, my skin got worse. I got breakouts like I never had before. I wish it would have work, the amount of positive reviews made me think that it could have work on me as well. However, it didn’t work, who knows maybe my skin is too sensitive.
