Did you know that people with sensitive skin use, on average, 3x more body creams than those with normal skin? That is until now. Kiehl's has solved this problem by releasing a formula that delivers 3 days of hydration in one application, the Ultra Body Mega Moisture Squalane Cream. As someone with dry, eczema-prone skin, I couldn't wait to try it - here are all the details and my honest review...
What Does The Kiehl's Mega Moisture Squalane Cream Do?
The Mega Moisture Squalane cream is a body cream that hydrates, strengthens and helps the skin retain moisture. What sets this moisturiser apart from others we stock is the magic number 3; it absorbs in 3 seconds and delivers 3 days' worth of hydration in one application.
How Does it Work?
The Squalane Cream is powered by... yes, you guessed it, squalane, an emollient easily absorbed into the skin and helps lock in moisture. But that's not it; the formula also contains pro-ceramides, which help promote a healthy skin barrier, and glacial glycoprotein and ectoin, which ensure the skin stays soft, smooth, and protected.
What Does It Smell And Feel Like?
The body moisturiser has a rich texture but feels very lightweight. It absorbs in 3 seconds; your skin doesn't feel sticky after application, just comfortable and hydrated, and you don't need to wait to apply clothes. As for the scent isn't fragranced - it smells clean and fresh, and once absorbed, the product's smell is undetectable on the skin.
What Skin Type is it For?
This body cream is suitable for all skin types. However, it was made with sensitive and eczema-prone skin in mind—Kiehl's first! If you have very dry or reactive skin, you'll enjoy how hydrating and soothing this formula is—and how long that feeling sticks around.
Best Place And Time To Use It?
You can use the Mega Moisture Squalane Cream morning and night, but we especially recommend applying it after you shower to lock in moisture. Massage the cream onto dry skin from top to toe.
My Review
I love this body cream. It provides bucket-loads of hydration without leaving skin feeling greasy; this is a huge plus for someone like me who's used to oily eczema emollients. As expected, it absorbed in seconds and left a silky sheen on my skin, which I especially noticed on my legs.
I noticed that my skin felt hydrated all day - I tend to reapply moisturiser often, so this is a welcome benefit. I think anyone who buys this body cream will spend less time rebuying and less money constantly repurchasing.
