Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream and AMfAR Collaborate to Fight AIDS

It's no secret that a good skincare routine is a necessity to maintain a healthy, youthful glow well into your adult life, and now Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream and amfAR have teamed up to produce a limited-edition launch of the company's world-famous face cream. The 4.2-ounce jar of Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream retails for about $46 US, and up to $25,000 of those sales profits will go toward amfAR, the Foundation for AIDS Research.

The super-limited-edition packaging for the Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream and amfAR collaboration is inspired by motorcycle-chic styles and the LifeRide for amfAR, which is a seven-day motorcycle ride that has bikers ride up the East Coast in the name of AIDS research.

Celebrities like Tyson Beckford and Jason Lee will be participating in the LifeRide for amfAR in New England, which runs from July 31 to Aug. 6.
