Best product I have ever used on my face
That's it, all I have to say. This is without doubt the best product I've ever used on my face. I don't understand the negative reviews. At 67 years old my skin looks better than it has in twenty years.

Bring back the old one please
It seems that this has replaced the prior formulation and packaging (blue with grey cap), which was a superior product in every way. It would be great if that product could be available again.

HONESTLY, I AGREE WITH THE OTHER USERS, NOT A GREAT PRODUCT
I absolutely love Kiehl's products, and few have worked. However, this one, no bueno. Many say it's greasy, oily, leaves your face shiny. They are all correct. Not sure if this is supposed to be the effect, but I sometimes get breakouts , so I'd say this is a product not for me, or at least my skin type, or if perhaps I'm using it wrong, I don't know.
I've been using this product for about 3 months, and to be honest I don't see any results. Except only this. I only use this product at night time, and sure my face is oily and shiny, but in the morning I wake up with skin that to my eyes seems supple, like if there's a clean coat, and as long as I wash my face in the morning its fine, but then again, its caused some breakouts before, so there's that. I don't know if I'm reaping any benefits from this moisturizer, but so far, I still don't think its any good. This was my first anti aging product ever and for sure will not be buying this one again.

Disappointed - Bring Back the Blue Facial Fuel Anti-Wrinkle Cream
This product is significantly inferior to the discontinued Facial Fuel Anti-Wrinkle Cream. As many other reviewers have requested, please bring back the blue container, which was an amazing product.

Bring Back the Blue Bottle
I sorely miss the Facial Fuel “Heavy Lifting” cream for men. Texture and results were far superior to this product. Why change the product line so often? Each time you discontinue something and I have to hunt for another is an opportunity for me to try other brands. Keep consistent, build upon, don’t replace. Thanks for listening, I’m glad to see Kiehls responding to reviews and requests.
Please bring it back!!! Don’t care if it has parabins if it works.

Bring Back the Former Formula, the Former Packaging
I have been a Kiehl's loyalist since my early 20s and I love many of their products. My favourite had been the blue tin of age correcting, deeply moisturizing magic. This is a substandard substitute for that at about $5.00 more than what I recall paying for the other cream. Kiehls, please listen to your base and bring back what so many of us loved. Bring back what worked.

Heavy, oily, shiny!!! Bring back the older version please!
The older version came with a blue bottle with a gray cap.
It was subtle, light, and matte. It was perfection and I used it in years.
But now, what in the world is this? This feels like putting vaseline lotion on your face. Very heavy and shiny and oily on the face.
Bring back the old formula!
Whoever came up with this formula should get fired!

Bad, real bad
This product doesn't match the normal excellence of a Khiel's product. It also is the only product I've ever used that pills on the face. Made quite an embarrassing impression, on a date.
DO NOT PURCHASE

Great Product; Wish it came in a larger size
Truth: This product is expensive. This product works. I love it.
Feedback: The packing seems a little much. Putting it in a tube would lower the price substantially and offering a larger size would grow your sales of the product exponentially, I believe.

Excellent moisturiser and wrinkle corrector. I have been using it with Vitamin C serum and results are awesome. The face is smooth and I use it each day. You feel a gentle tingling once you put the serum which is instantly absorbed. I am a bit surprised for the negative feedback here, as Age Defender is simply the best anti age cream when coupled with the Vitamin C. One thing I know. I will keep using it!! And I love the Logo too!

I'm not sure why there are all these negative comments. I have normal-to-oily skin, and since I started using this I consistently get compliments about my skin. As I've gotten older, this stuff really has helped.

Laughable that an age 18-24 is reviewing this product, why would a person age 18-24 need an age reducing cream? Ridiculous or fake.

Great product - use with others in range
I saw quite a lot of negative reviews of this, but I really love it, and have noticed a big difference to my skin after using it for a week or so. I cleanse, tone, and then apply the Kiehl’a vitamin C serum, and then apply this moisturiser with the matching eye cream morning and night. It is very thick and unlike most other moisturisers but you only need a small amount. They also have a daily use moisturiser in a blue tube that’s lighter that could be used during the day.

Y’all are using this wrong probably!
So I can definitely understand where the “greasy” reviews are coming from.... this product is really thick and texturized. I generally have very oily skin and I found that a lot of kiehls products don’t work for me and I was skeptical of this at first.. BUT! I realized that the best way to use this is at night before bed. In the morning just wash it off and apply facial fuel moisturizer after a shower and you will see amazing effects! Definitely tightens up face!

Feels Great, Works... eh
I love the feel of this thick lotion and the smell, however I do not really notice any dramatic aging changes. If it is supposed to help defend against wrinkles in the long-run, that would make sense because I'm definitley not getting any more lines, but I just don't see anything fantastic about it

High priced lotion/cream no reults
I tried this cream for several months and didn't see any results or benefits. This cream felt like any regular face lotion but higher priced. I used to buy the Facial Fuel Wrinkle cream previously made but somehow they discontinued making it. That cream DID work and was outstanding. This, on the other hand, fails in comparison. I will not shop at Kiehl's anymore unless they bring back the old formula. I'm tired of trying their new products without results.

Please bring back the old formulation
This product is just OK. I would really like for Kiehl's to bring back the old formulation: Facial Fuel Anti-wrinkle Cream. That product is what got me into Kiehl's products, it was amazing and I'm very sad it has been discontinued , please bring it back!

Wow this cream is amazing
I logged in to buy a refill of this cream and I can't believe all the negative reviews! 1st - those reviews are winning that this product is different than another - not actually reviewing this one. 2nd - this is the best moisturizer/anti-wrinkle cream I've ever used. I've tried almost all the Kiehl's facial creams and this is the best:
*need only a tiny amount, lasts almost a year
*thick, luxurious feel that goes on smooth and not oily.
*works great with just other serums and sunblock

I'm into it
When I first tried this product I felt like it was too thick and a little too "moist."
Then I switched to just using it before bed. It's fantastic. My skin has never looked so good. I use it with the Age Defender Dual Action Cleanser. Then during the day I just use the regular SPF Facial Fuel Moisturizer.
Haven't had a single breakout and my skin looks great.

Why why why?
Why would you discontinue such a popular and longstanding product? Don't understand why on earth the old facial fuel anti wrinkle cream was replaced with this crap. I'm sorry to say I won't be purchasing anymore Kiehl's products unless it's brought back. Can you imagine Apple discontinuing the iPhone? Unbelievable.

HORRIBLE REPLACEMENT
Agree with all of the other reviews, this is greasy/ineffective and a FAR CRY the amazing prior product-The Anti Aging/Wrinkle moisturizer. The closest replacement I can find is Brickel Revitalizing Anti Aging Cream

So it’s not your old wrinkle cream, but it’s not bad.
I don’t really understand all the negative comments. I like this cream. I wear it at night after washing my face along with the age defender eye cream. I will agree with others and say that I wake up and my face is SHINY. However I’m happy with the result. I’m not sure why Kiehl’s says this is for either day or night—I would imagine I’d be super greasy looking come mid-morning. Hence my use as a night cream.
Anyway—good product, but I’d recommend as a night cream. Use the facial fuel moisturizer for day.

Keep Eliminating good products
Why did you get rid of the other anti-wrinklier cream? Loyal customer for a long time but why do you guys keep messing with good products?? The facial fuel moisturizer is terrible now and this new anti aging one isn’t as good as the old anti wrinkle cream. I don’t get it...

Good but not for oily and combination skins
This cream is not that bad. I think it`s good for dry skin. If your skin is oily and comination, you can use it for the nighttime. I prefer to use the creams with matte finish for the daytime. Actually i missed Facial Fuel Anti-Wrinkle Cream and Facial Fuel Transformer Age Correcting Moisture Gel. Kiehl`s should listen to their customers and bring back these creams. Matte finish is very important for the men because they do not wear make-up. Thanks.

Amazing moisturizer!
I've been using Kiehl's Age Defender moisturizer for a little over 4 years now. It's an AMAZING product. I recently got my partner to start using it with me. The consistency of this moisturizer is best for night time use since it's smooth and thick, but not greasy. It does what it's suppose to do and that is to hydrate your skin. Overtime, I've noticed better texture too. As with all products, it takes time! People are too quick to review after using it for a month or so.

Great disappointment
This is a great disappointment after Facial Fuel Anti-Wrinkle Cream. It dries extremely fast on my skin, but doesn't absorb, so it just sits on top of the skin forming a kind of a film. Not that you feel it, but you can definitely see its edges if you look closer. And no, I don't use a lot. In fact, if I used less, it just won't be enough to moisturize all the face.
It does improve skin tone, but that's probably the only thing it does well. If I scratch my skin with a nail, I get white bits of cream under it. Oh, and as it dries quickly, you're most likely get tiny lumps all over your face after applying it.
I had been using Facial Fuel Anti-Wrinkle Cream for several years and it worked as if it was created specifically for my skin. When I heard that it's been discontinued, I bought all the jars I could find in my city. And I was delaying the moment that I have to change my moisturizer for as long as I could. I've given Age Defender Moisturizer a chance hoping that it's not as bad as most of the reviews here state. After all, Age Defender Eye Repair works great for me. Unfortunately, the moisturizer didn't work as well. In fact, it worked very bad.
So here I am, facing the necessity to find a new everyday cream, and Kiehls doesn't have it. I just don't know where to look for it yet. If somebody finds something as good as Facial Fuel Anti-Wrinkle, please comment on this review.
