Purpose of moisturizing
Moisturizing helps to prevent dryness, slows the signs of aging, helps fight acne, protects you from the sun, and soothes the skin giving you a youthful appearance.
Kiehl's VS First Aid Beauty Cream
These guys are both going to contain excellent moisturizing properties and are great solutions to dryness, fine lines/wrinkles, and helping to look younger. The both do not contain alcohol, any sulfates, and parabens. And theres a total of 9 ingredients that they share, making it a great all purpose moisturizer. You get ceramides and glycerin with both which increases skin hydration and squalene with both which increases the suppleness and texture. Now the thing with squalene, its a highly versatile fatty molecule, that has anti inflammatory properties with it, so with that you gotta make sure to use a gentle cleanser to clean out your pores first before you apply moisturizer, you dont want natural skin oils and bacteria to play in the mix.
Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream With Squalene
First off, the product feels thick and creamy, kinda feeling like butter as it quickly melts and absorbs in. I like to avoid touching the jar with my hands, so for best practices use a product spoon, to apply to your fingers then face and make sure you are tightly sealing the jar once done. For some it may leave them feeling a little greasy, but I mean if you use the amount your supposed to, which the website says a dime sized amount, Ive had no problems with greasy feeling afterwards. It can be used both morning and night and is marketed as effective for all skin types, even sensitive skin which is a big plus. Now right away, There are some notable differences with Kiehl’s that is not present in the First aid beauty. The first thing you may notice is on the jar you have whats called glacial glycoprotein. And not sure to what extent that is used to enhance the moisture, but from what is known, its sourced from Antarctic sea glaciers to help maintain the skins moisture balance for longer. Secondly, it contains Vitamin E which is not found in first aid beauty. And in the form of tocopherol we get loads of antioxidants which helps protect your skin from pollution and reduce hyperpigmentation. Which are both great bonuses that you get on top of moisture. The third thing you get with the kiehl’s product is the fact that if you look at the end of the ingredients, you also get a little touch of salicylic acid, so you will get some exfoliating during your moisturization which for some is a plus. And lastly, one other thing that popped up was if you look carefully, youll also find: Persea Gratissima oil. Which is just fancy for avocado oil.
First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream Intense Hydration
First off this product doesnt feel too thin but also doesnt feel ultra thick. It has more of a lotion-like texture than anything else and it's easy to spread around. And A little definitely goes a long way. I can see why some people might like thicker creams, since light creams never feel moisturizing to me, and I like that it is a little on the thicker side. Some notable things that stand out to me with the first aid, that the kiehl's one doesnt have is that: although there is no glacial glycoprotein in here, it does have an amazing ingredient. Colloidal Oatmeal. Which is a skin protectant that relieves itching and minor irritation caused by eczema, rashes and other skin conditions. They actually include it as their first ingredient which is going to calm down redness or irritation if your prone to them. Also if your wondering at all, the product doesnt at all smell like oatmeal. Both these products are both actually scentless which I personally like. The second notable ingredient is the shea butter, which im a fan of because its An emollient rich in vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids, that helps moisturize and protect the skin barrier. Third difference is that it contains allantoin, which helps calm and soothe the skin, and lastly, it contains an antioxidant booster that protects your skin from environmental factors using, Licorice Root, Feverfew and White Tea extracts.

Never touched Kiehls after they discontinued their moisturizing eye stick with SPF. I bought 3 at a time I used it all the time. My friends loved it because it was for all skin types and not greasy.

My desert of a face hates the First aid beauty. I just purchased the Kiehls a few days ago at Ross for 14.99 and I am beyond impressed. Thanks for the video.

[@ArsalanAspires]

Thank you so much for watching my video and for your kind words! I'm thrilled that the Kiehls product worked out for you.

[@soupnfresh]

Do you still like Kiehls? I'm on the hunt for a new cream.

[@maythompson6228]

I do, but I have found that less is more. My husband uses it daily now too, and if you knew him, you would know that is saying something. But like I said, less is more. Don't over apply.

[@tigre9271]

I have super dry, dehydrated skin and I prefer Kiehls. Love the Facial cream and the new Overnight Rehydrating Mask. Personally, I think Kiehls is better for people with my skin type. Or for those who need a intensely moisterizing product if they have gone too heavy on the retinA or if they want to use it as part of spa night, after exfoliation, masking, gua sha etc.

[@blackqueen5201]

Does it clogg pores

[@tigre9271]

@@blackqueen5201 Not for me. But I have super dehydrated skin that never gets clogged. But warning...this mask has a body butter texture. Like the BODY SHOP Shea Butter. So, if you don't like that texture on your face, you may want to pass.

[@ArsalanAspires]

[@jenniferschienle7364]

I love the Kiehl’s cream and now I understand why! I have oily, but aging skin & it’s really hard to find a product that works with both. If you don’t know, aging skin is usually dry. I tried the Kiehl’s because I got it in a sample and could not believe that a “cream“ did not increase oil production. In fact, it stayed more balanced. And it may be because of the salicylic acid that’s in it. Which is some thing I also use for psoriasis, so I know it helps with inflammation. Thank you for the information!

[@ArsalanAspires]

Excellent observation. Thank you for sharing your experience. 😃

[@mindbodyhome102]

Thanks for this VERY clear video. All the important information and none of the fluff :) I have been considering the First Aid Beauty product and your last comment that it is more budget friendly made my decision clear. Plus...I prefer a lighter feel to my moisturizer as my skin is not too dry and leans to combo.

[@becreb]

I have combination skin and I can use the kiehl’s cream as a day cream under my sunscreen without it making me greasy. Love that it’s light but is moisturizing still!

[@redditfolder00]

I love first aid beauty! Overall this is a great and transparent comparison.

[@ArsalanAspires]

Thanks for the input!

Right way to use FAB when you have atopic dermatitis on face? Been using steroid base ointment when having flare-ups but I know I can’t use it forever because it’s bad for long term use.

Salycylic acid is not recommended to use with Retinol so is it a problem or would the amount be too little anyway? Because I use the Ultra Facial Cream in the evening

[@Holly7302]

I was wondering about the salycylic acid component as well. I use Tretinoin every night but I really need an intense moisturizer & haven’t had much luck finding one that agrees with my skin. I hope he sees your question soon 😊.

[@jonathanfoster4202]

There is no black and white about actives you CANT use together, it all depends on what you can tolerate. If its towards the end of the ingredient list it’s probably a very low concentration, so you should be fine. Most derms just recommend you dont do an exfoliating treatment with retinols in the same routine cuz that can be quite intense, but a treatment will have a much higher concentration so thats probably why they say that

[@sananaveed4572]

I use Kiehls Ultra Facial Cream, but had to stop using it when I started using Tretinoin, as the burn was unbearable. I have resumed using the Ultra Facial cream as I no longer use Tretinoin. I had to change my entire skincare including my face wash, to be able to use Tretinoin; was not worth it.

[@sandral5086]

Years ago I used to use the first aid beauty ultra repair cream and loved it but I was a big fan of Paula Begoun Beautypedia and she rated this product 1 out of 5 because it contains eucalyptus oil and is a known skin irritant, what are your thoughts because I see other dermatologists recommending this product too with no mention of the eucalyptus

[@sandral5086]

Just fyi Beautypedia is a panel of derms that rate skincare

[@ArsalanAspires]

Hey Sandra! Thank you for bringing up this important issue. It especially becomes frustrating when companies claim to make products for sensitive skin and then put irritating essential oils in them. This is especially the case for those who have a particular sensitivity to eucalyptus and other essential oils. Some can have sensitive skin but experience no reaction it, which is how manufactures can still slab the 'sensitive skin' branding on it. I hope this helps. Subscribe to stay updated. 🙂

[@monicaduncan7109]

When the FAB ultra repair was first launched it had eucalyptus plant extract which made it fine for sensitive skin, but then 2 years ago the changed that ingredient to eucalyptus essential oil and with this re formulation they package should of also changed as it’s no longer suitable for sensitive skin, especially the face. I was an avid user of this cream for many many years and was very disappointed that they never informed the consumer of this change ever! I did contact them but they didn’t care to reply but keep pushing there products for sensitive skin still to this day.

3:47 error: Salicylic acid is a BHA, not an AHA, which is an important distinction as AHA’s are known to make your skin sun-sensitive, and some of us are specifically avoiding AHA’s in our morning moisturizer.

[@ArsalanAspires]

Hi Neel! The Ultra Repair Cream shown in the video has 3 Notable Ingredients: 1.) Colloidal Oatmeal (OTC): Skin protectant that relieves itching caused by eczema, rashes, and other skin conditions. 2.) Shea Butter: Moisturizes and protects the skin barrier with vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids. 3.) Allantoin: Calms and soothes skin. The Repair Firming Collagen Cream has 3 different Notable Ingredients: 1.) Collagen: Supports skin texture, structure, density, and an overall appearance. 2.) Peptides: Help smooth skin and minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. 3.)Niacinamide: Helps skin appear bouncy and visibly improves tone and texture.

[@kilipaki87oritahiti]

A shame none of these are fungal acne/Malassezia Folliculitis safe. I have sensitive Rosacea fungal acne skin, and can’t use 99% of all skin care products out there😭😭😭 Btw Squalene or Squalane? Only the latter is more stable and safe for all skin types. Fungal acne is promoted/triggered by fatty acids, fatty alcohols and oils, as well as esters… And due to climate change the glaciers are melting away at super speed. So guess Kiehls need to find a replacement for that ingredient. I should know. I live in Norway. No snow and the heat makes March seem like May.

[@ArsalanAspires]

Thank you for this input. Sensitive skin is tough to begin with, adding rosacea to it with fungal acne is a real patient population. I would hope more brands will factor that into their formulations. I can imagine that being difficult. Squalane is what I meant to say as it does not react with O2. Wishing you wellness.
