Pros
It's great that it feels refreshing without any oiliness! It absorbs quickly and leaves a nice, moisturizing coolness.
Cons
I feel like I have to apply it multiple times for the moisture to really sink in, and it gets used up too quickly for the price.

Pros
I found that other moisturizers (from other brands or Kiehl's) had a lot of moisture when I first applied them, but the moisture would evaporate and leave my skin feeling dry. This product, however, has a cooling sensation and the right amount of oil, so it stays fresh and lightweight throughout the day.
Cons
There's not much to complain about, but you do need to make sure it's absorbed properly! Also, if you apply too much and it doesn't get absorbed, it may come off like dirt if you happen to scratch your face later on.
Tip
I think this product is suitable for summer because it has a cooling sensation that can help lower the skin's temperature in the hot weather, and the lightweight formula is perfect for the sweatier summer months! (The blue packaging is nice too)

Pros
I used it for about 3 years. It was a lifesaver for me at one point, as I would religiously buy and use it whenever a large size was available. The Kiehl's cream has a full, moisturizing feel with just the right amount of oil. So not only does it not dry out easily after application, but it also feels refreshing and cooling.
Cons
After using it for a long time, one day my face started to sting when I applied it. Even after taking a break for a week or a month, my face would still get irritated and turn red the moment I put it on. I seem to have developed some kind of sensitivity or allergic reaction. I would not recommend this to those with sensitive skin or for long-term, continuous use.

Pros
It seems to be somewhat moisturizing, and when I apply it together with the BB cream, it seems to spread well~
Cons
There was a bit of a burning sensation.. I don't really have the desire to buy it again

Pros
As I have a dry skin type, I used this product exclusively for a very long time. It was great as it provided a lot of moisture and was overall good.
Cons
I have an oily skin type, but this product was too moisturizing. I used it for about 2 years and then switched, as it still felt a bit tight on my skin despite the oiliness.
Tip
Hmm, at this price point, I wouldn't really recommend this product.

Pros
I've been using this product for about 5 years. I have combination skin and I use it with a toner all year round, and it's best for me in the summer as it's oil-free. In the fall and winter, I mix it with a few drops of facial oil, and it doesn't feel tight and is very moisturizing. I like to mix the oil depending on the weather and my mood, and it works much better. (Kiehl's Daily Reviving, Midnight Recovery) I like to apply it generously, so I buy the large size and it lasts me about 3 months. I always buy it from duty-free with discounts and rewards, so I get it for around 30,000 won.
Cons
As it's oil-free, it might not work well for dry skin. It's also unscented, which some may find disappointing. (I use a mist to add fragrance.) My younger brother has acne-prone skin, and while it controls the oil, the moisture balance is off, so he gets red blemishes. (By the way, for acne-prone skin in men in their mid-to-late 20s, an astringent like the Purell Energizing one might work better.)
Tip
1. Fall, Winter > Mix with oil 2. Summer > Keep in the fridge 3. Buy large size > Decant into smaller containers 4. Overseas travel > Buy from duty-free 5. Kiehl's empties > Collect and return to store

Pros
Since I have sensitive skin, I was worried, but I'm using Kiehl's oil-free products and I'm satisfied with the moisture retention and oil control.
Cons
I'm getting a few breakouts, but I'm not sure if it's because of the cream.

Pros
The gel cream has great spreadability and absorption! As my skin is combination, rich moisturizing creams can feel burdensome, but I can't go without a moisturizer either. Using this Ulra Facial Oil-Free Gel Cream, it provides the right amount of hydration without any greasy residue - it absorbs so well! I really like the gel cream texture. The formula also has a slightly cooling effect, which I found soothing when my face felt flushed or heated from the sun. It's been amazing! I first tried the small size and liked it so much that I repurchased the larger size.
Cons
As an oil-free product, it may not be suitable for those with extremely dry skin. The cream itself is not very rich, so it may not be enough to properly hydrate very dry complexions. Additionally, the cooling ingredients could potentially irritate those with sensitive skin - I sometimes felt a slight tingling sensation when using it after my skin was already irritated. These are things to consider depending on your individual skin type and needs.

Pros
[(Purchased Kiehl's Skin+Essence+Moisturizer+Samples with duty-free chance) This cream was a bit tacky right after applying (when absorption was slightly incomplete), but once fully absorbed, it becomes moisturizing yet powdery, so I highly recommend it for oily skin types! It's unscented, so it's reassuring.
Cons
The price is quite evil... It's very burdensome for students.
