I've always dealt with texture (clogged pores AND SO MANY CLOSED COMEDONES) on my cheeks and forehead specifically. After about 3 days of use, about 90% of the texture on my cheeks and forehead disappeared, and continues to fade the longer I use it. I would not consider this the MOST moisturizing moisturizer. As someone with combination skin, I usually apply extra to the drier areas of my face. I couldn't recommend more if you're someone with texture issues and a sensitivity to oils.

Worth Every Penny for My Oily, Sensitive Skin
I never write reviews—but I had to for my oily-skin girls because I get the struggle.
I’ve been on a serious hunt for something to control oil on my T-zone, especially my nose. I’ve tried so many products—One/Size Oil Sucker Primer, Milk Makeup’s Eclipse Primer, matte setting sprays—you name it. Nothing worked. Either they did nothing for my oil or irritated my skin (I’m very sensitive and can’t use anything with fragrance).
Then I tried the Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Oil-Free Gel Cream and WOW. This stuff actually works. It keeps my oil in check without irritating my skin at all. No fragrance, no burning, no weird reaction—just smooth, calm, matte skin. It also doesn’t crack or mess with my makeup, which is a huge win.
Yes, it’s on the pricier side for the size, but honestly, you only need a small amount. A little goes a long way, and it delivers results.
If you’re struggling with oil control and have sensitive skin, I highly recommend giving this a try. Total game changer.

Better out there.
Not worth it. I’m the type to never break out but this broke me out with tiny little pimples all over my face 0/10.

Nice Gel cream, but overpriced
After using this product over the last two weeks, I love it! it's perfect for oily and combination skins. This gel cream is very light and at the same time you feel your skin hydrated. The only cons is that it's a little bit overpriced.

My go to daily moisturizer for daytime , at night I use a heavier cream. Only thing that works for my oily tzone skin while still keeping it hydrated. Only thing is it does seem to be used up pretty quickly not much in the container, but still can’t find something better that’s cheaper. I like buying the bigger size and Kiehl’s has large refill too

Not a fan
Has no effect for me, I’m a normal to dry skin but oily during summer time. Loved the original version wanted to try out, but actually feels like it’s drying my skin out. Not a fan

I’ve been using this as my morning moisturizer for a couple weeks now and I’ve noticed that it’s helped reduce the oiliness of my skin significantly. One of the first moisturizers I’ve tried and liked for oil control.

My favorite
As someone with incredibly acne prone skin and breaks out after using many products, this one is safe! I have gone through multiple jars. Doesn’t pill under makeup and layers well.
