Key Ingredients
SQUALANE A signature Kiehl’s ingredient, Squalane is a highly-refined botanical lipid derived from sugar cane. With an exceptional affinity to skin, Squalane absorbs easily and is known to help replenish skin’s barrier keeping it soft, supple and moisturized. In our formulations, Squalane is renewable and responsibly sourced. PRO-CERAMIDES Ceramides are lipids that are naturally occurring in the outer layers of skin. Pro-Ceramides make up a large portion of a healthy skin barrier. Our formula with Pro-ceramides helps to reinforce skin’s barrier strength and help skin better resist external disruptors. GLACIAL GLYCOPROTEIN Originally sourced from Antarctic Sea glaciers, Glacial Glycoprotein within our formulas helps to deeply hydrate and maintain skin’s moisture balance. Each time our Glacial Glycoprotein is produced, it’s done in an environmentally friendly manner, without further extraction of the glaciers, making this skincare ingredient a renewable raw material.

Suggestions for using Ultra Facial Skin Barrier Repair Balm with Squalane:
Ingredients
Q: What are the main ingredients of this repair cream? What are their respective functions?
A:
Squalane: This is one of the core ingredients. Squalane is very similar to the sebum component of human skin and has excellent skin affinity. It can form a protective film similar to the skin's natural oil on the surface of the skin, effectively preventing the loss of skin moisture and enhancing the skin's barrier function. At the same time, squalane can also help the skin lock in moisture, keeping the skin hydrated, soft and smooth.
Ceramide: Ceramide is an important component of the skin barrier. The ceramide in this repair cream can replenish the ceramide lost in the skin, repair the damaged skin barrier, make the skin tougher, and enhance the skin's ability to resist external stimuli (such as environmental pollution, dry climate, etc.).
Glycerin: As a common moisturizer, glycerin can attract water molecules in the air, lock moisture in the surface of the skin, replenish moisture for the skin, relieve dry skin, and keep the skin hydrated.
Efficacy
Q: What are its main functions?
A:
Repairing the skin barrier: The main effect is to repair and strengthen the barrier function of the skin. By supplementing key ingredients such as squalane and ceramide, it can effectively repair the damaged skin barrier, improve skin dryness, sensitivity, redness and other problems caused by damaged barriers, and restore the skin to a healthy state.
Moisturizing and nourishing: It can provide deep moisturizing for the skin and maintain the moisture balance of the skin. Whether in a dry environment or the skin itself is dehydrated, it can keep the skin hydrated and plump, and reduce the discomfort caused by dehydration.
Usage related
Q: What is the correct way to use it?
A:
After cleaning the face and using toner, take an appropriate amount of repair cream (about the size of a soybean) on the fingertips, then apply it evenly on the face and neck, and gently massage so that the repair cream is completely absorbed by the skin. For areas where the skin is particularly dry or the barrier is severely damaged, the amount of use can be appropriately increased.
It is recommended to use it once a day in the morning and evening. During use, be careful to avoid the skin around the eyes, because the skin around the eyes is more sensitive and usually requires special eye cream for care.
Applicable skin type related
Q: What skin type is this repair cream suitable for?
A:
Dry skin: For dry skin, it can provide powerful moisturizing and repair functions, effectively relieve the problems of dry and tight skin, help repair the skin barrier damaged by dryness, and make the skin soft and smooth.
Sensitive skin: Very suitable for sensitive skin. It can repair the damaged skin barrier, enhance the skin's tolerance, reduce the skin's sensitivity to external stimuli, such as sensitive reactions to temperature changes, cosmetics, etc., and reduce skin redness, itching and other discomfort symptoms.
Oily skin: Although it is a moisturizing repair cream, it is also suitable for oily skin in some cases. For example, when the skin barrier of oily skin is damaged due to excessive cleansing, use of irritating products, etc., this repair cream can be used to repair the barrier. However, oily skin may need to pay attention to controlling the amount when using it to avoid feeling too greasy.
Combination skin: It can be applied to dry and sensitive areas (such as cheeks) to repair and moisturize the skin in these areas. At the same time, it can be used appropriately in the T zone (forehead, nose, chin) according to the oil secretion to help regulate the overall barrier function of the skin.
Product comparison related
Q: What are its characteristics compared with other repair creams?
A:
Synergy of squalane and ceramide: Compared with other repair creams, it is characterized by containing high concentrations of squalane and ceramide at the same time. These two ingredients work together to more effectively repair and strengthen the skin barrier. Squalane provides protection similar to the skin's own oil, and ceramide supplements the key structural components of the skin barrier. This combination has significant advantages in repairing the skin barrier.
Mild formula: The formula is relatively mild and does not add ingredients that may irritate the skin, such as fragrances, alcohol, etc. It is suitable for people with all kinds of sensitive skin and damaged skin barriers. This is the characteristic that distinguishes it from some repair creams containing more irritating ingredients.
Storage and other related
Q: How should this repair cream be stored?
A:
It should be stored in a cool and dry place, away from direct sunlight and high temperature environment. After each use, make sure the cap is tightly closed to prevent air from entering and causing oxidation or bacterial growth. If the texture, color or smell of the product changes significantly, stop using it.
Q: Can pregnant women use this repair cream?
Generally speaking, the ingredients of this repair cream are relatively safe and can be used by pregnant women. However, since pregnant women have more sensitive skin, it is recommended to test it on a small area of skin before use. If there is no adverse reaction, use it normally.
