SKIN ON FIRE? KIEHL'S ULTRA FACIAL CREAM MEDICATED TO THE RESCUE

NEW YORK, Jan. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Continuing Kiehl's legacy of skin hydration, the NEW Ultra Facial Cream Medicated marks the next evolution of the Ultra Facial line. As Kiehl's first medicated moisturizer, this formula provides skin discomfort relief in just five seconds¹ and supports 50% faster skin barrier recovery², offering immediate and ongoing comfort for skin meltdowns and everyday sensitivities. 

Skin meltdowns affect 70% of consumers and are often triggered by stress, environmental changes, underlying skin conditions, sensitivities, and post-procedure recovery. Ultra Facial Cream Medicated delivers multi-symptom relief by calming visible irritation and restoring skin with intense, lasting hydration.

Perfect for skin-mergencies – such as eczema and itching - and suitable for rosacea, psoriasis, post-shave, post-chemical peel and post-laser recovery, the Ultra Facial Cream Medicated is the first responder for distressed skin. Powered by Spherical Rolling Emollients that reduce friction, enabling the formula to glide over skin, and a dual-action blend of Recovery Actives, this medicated cream delivers both surface relief and deep repair. Micro-colloidal compounds in the formula help soothe and protect the skin with Avenanthramides and Beta-Glucan, while skin recovery actives like α-Bisabolol and Dexpanthenol, restore barrier strength and resilience.
