As as huge fan of Kiehl’s Creme de Corps, I was extremely keen to test out the new Kiehl’s Ultra Body Mega Moisture Squalane Cream. Here’s everything you need to know.
Key Ingredients
GLACIAL GLYCOPROTEIN – helps to deeply hydrate and maintain skin’s moisture balance
PRO-CERAMIDES – help to reinforce skin’s barrier strength
SQUALANE – helps replenish skin’s barrier and keep it soft, supple and moisturised
This is best applied straight after showering and whenever your skin needs extra hydration. You can dress immediately as it is fast absorbing.
My Review
I don’t know about you, but once I hit my late 40s and into my 50s, my skin on my body started asking for a lot more attention! Especially as I am a serial fake tan user. My skin can get pretty dry which really affects its appearance. Now that summer is on its way, I want to get my skin into top to toe peak condition.
When Kiehl’s launched the Ultra Body Mega Moisture Squalane Cream, I was immediately intrigued. Anything with mega moisture in the name has my full attention!
I’ve been testing it out and here’s how I got on…
Texture and feel
The texture is GORGEOUS. It is rich but not greasy, creamy but not too thick. It melts into the skin beautifully and doesn’t sit on top like some heavier body butters. I can get dressed immediately after applying it, which is a big bonus for me as I am always in a rush.
How does it perform?
I’ve been using it daily, mostly after my morning shower (I find that’s the best time to really lock in hydration). I find this makes my skin nice and smooth looking, and more even-toned, and after a few daily applications there’s way less of that crepey look that seems to pop up when my skin is dry and dehydrated. The hydration is really long lasting.
Is it good for mature skin?
Yes, 100% yes. If you’re in your 40s, 50s or beyond and finding that your body skin just isn’t bouncing back like it used to, this cream is a dream. It feeds the skin without overloading it, and because there’s no fragrance, it’s gentle enough for even the most sensitive areas like décolletage.
Final thoughts
This is definitely one of those “quiet luxury” products. It doesn’t shout, but it really does deliver. The packaging is clean, the texture is beautiful, and the hydration is long-lasting.
It’s also fragrance-free, which I know many of you will absolutely love, especially if you have sensitive skin or want to layer with your favourite perfume.
