"Last but not least, my newest box of the Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Cream. I've been using this. This is probably one of the longest products I've been using in my routine at all, going back to when I got started into it."

Evening Skincare Routine - Dermaplaning, Layering Actives & Anti-Aging Products
"I'm going to apply the Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Cream, which I love. Love, love, love this stuff. Just soaks into my skin. Feels really nice and soothing. No scent. Feels really good."

"I also really like the Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Cream. I typically tend to use these two together, apply the Klairs first and then the other after, which are very nice."
Bubble Skincare Over Night Hydrating Sleep Mask Review, How to Use, Dupes
"In terms of performance, if I had to choose between this and my regular sleep masks that I love, which would be the Klairs Midnight Blue Cream, the CosRX snail mucin cream, and the Stratia Liquid Gold, I would choose all of those over this. But I think for younger skin, or younger people that might be more interested in the expensive stuff like Drunk Elephant, I think maybe this is a good bargain, although I'm not a fan of the cinnamon bark in it for young skin. It promises that it's going to be smoothing, hydrating, soothing, and brightening. I think this delivers on hydrating benefits, but there wasn't enough in here to brighten skin, or there's a couple ingredients in there to soothe it, but they're far down and not a lot of them. So I wasn't totally disappointed, I just wasn't overly impressed."

Skincare & Beauty Product Empties for January 2024 😍 What I've Finished This Month
"The Klairs midnight blue calming cream, I really enjoy this stuff. This year I screwed up and forgot to buy a backup, so I'm currently going backup-less, which is a little dangerous. In its place I've been using the Sasha Wei Exclusive Overnight Moisturizer, which actually appears to be a somewhat close dupe to the Klairs. It's not the same, it's got a bit thicker texture to it, but in terms of the ingredients and things it has a lot of similarities, so this one's filling in just fine until I get my next Klairs."
Anti-Aging Skincare Evening Routine - Dry, Sensitive Skin -Fight Wrinkles & Melasma - Luxe Products
"I'm going to go with a nice moisturizer, which is the Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Cream. I'm going to use that to hydrate and soothe and calm my skin after the retinoids. This is one I love, it's blue, really nice, really hydrating. A little bit goes a long way, the bottle will last you forever."

"Next up I've got the Klairs midnight blue calming cream. This one works great as a sleep mask or just an evening time moisturizer, it's wonderful. It's 26 bucks, so it does a great job for that. It's great for sensitive skin types, dry skin types, oily skin types, so it really works well. Sometimes I just use this when I go to bed and it just works nicely. It's got peptide, shea butter, purslane, chamomile, centella, it's got it all going on in there, and it's just wonderful, a moisturizer or sleeping mask or both when you want it to be."
My Ultimate List of the Top Ten Moisturizers of All Time & I've Tried Hundreds of Moisturizers
"This one's 2.1 oz for 26 bucks. Fragrance free, alcohol free, cruelty-free. Sodium hyaluronate, ceramides, peptides, vitamin E, beeswax, shea butter. It's really nice. I've repurchased this one a bunch of times too. It's been a long time favorite. It's definitely one of my most repurchased moisturizers."

"Klairs midnight blue calming cream, it's wonderful. It really works well at the end of a routine with a lot of stuff in it. The texture of it's super light, you can kind of just pat it on your skin and it really does a nice job. No fragrance, lots of good peptides, and also very similar formula to the Drunk Elephant protein, which I think is what a lot of people like about it."

"The Klairs Midnight Blue Calamine Cream, I love that stuff. It's probably the single most repurchased product that I use to this day, especially in the last few years. I would say out of any product I've repurchased the most, it's probably to be that one."

K-Beauty Anti-Aging Evening Routine ⏰ My High Maintenance Night Time Skincare
"First I always have to have the Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Cream in my evening routine. This should give me some moisture. My skin's been so dry today, especially I think because a couple days ago I was in the ten Fahrenheit and I was outside a lot, and I think my skin just got more dried out than it normally would have."

My Favorite Klairs Skincare Products
"My absolute favorite product from Klairs hands down is their Midnight Blue Calming Cream. I talk about it a lot, it's wonderful, it's really great. There's no fragrance in it. It initially had fragrance and then a couple years ago they changed it up and took the fragrance out and made it really lovely."

"Then there's the Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Cream, 26 bucks. Ceramides, chamomile, squalane, peptides, argan oil, purslane extract. This one's also virtually empty but I think I have my backup for this one already, and if not I have it on the way."

It's got six different peptides, we've got centella, cerain, argan oil, and countless other beneficial ingredients, no fragrance, and it's really nice. I just use this as a sleeping mask at the end of my evening routine."
Klairs 🆕 New! Midnight Blue Clearing Water Cream & Comparison to Midnight Blue Calming Cream
"The Midnight Blue Calming Cream soaks in a little bit faster. The nice thing is once it soaks in it isn't sticky whereas the calming cream tends to stay a little tacky after you finish it. I love the amount of peptides in them, and I love the fact that Klairs eventually made this fragrance free. When I first tried it for the very first time it had fragrance in it and now it is unscented. It's on the affordable side. So far so good, I like it. It seems to work nicely and I think it'll be nice for people with oily or acne prone skin types as well."

My Most Repurchased Skincare Products of All Time - 10 Years of Skin Care Favorites!
"First up, Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Cream. This one's already pretty much empty. I've probably repurchased this 20 or more times. I always keep a backup of it, I just love this stuff, it's really nice. It's just a really nice moisturizer with no scent to it. I like to use this in my evening routine, a lot after if I use retinoids or exfoliants, things like that, or if I microneedle. It really helps to calm down my skin. No fragrance in it. It retails for about 23 bucks."
Klairs Skincare 🆕 Midnight Blue Clearing Water Cream Review, How to Use, Dupes & Alternatives
"I was expecting to really love it because I love my cream, my calming cream, but I just didn't love this one. I would have liked to see more antioxidants and more soothing ingredients. The mint is a big issue for me. If they had eliminated that, it would do much better."
Ranking My Top Ten Summer Skincare Most Used Products
"The Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Cream, no matter what, sometimes I'll only apply one or two products, but this is always going to be one of them. It's always going to be one of the last ones. I just love it. No fragrance in it, full of good ingredients for you, and works really nice in your evening routine and friendly for most skin types. The original version did have fragrance, but this version does not."

Evening Skincare Winter Routine- Dry, Sensitive Skin w/ Hyperpigmentation - Fragrance Free Routine
"Light layer of the Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Cream. I'm pretty well hydrated but I just can't see myself doing a routine without it because I just love the ingredients of it so much, so I don't really see any benefit for me to just not use it."
Sacheu Skincare We Occlusive Overnight Moisturizer Review, How to Use, Dupes
"So there's a lot of similar ingredients in here. It's got the peptides, the soothing ingredients, the brightening ingredients, the hydrating ingredients, and it does happen to be a dupe. In terms of animal testing, this is vegan as well as cruelty-free, so no issues with that. In terms of performance, it's a very nice hydrating overnight mask. It's great for very dry skin, dehydrated skin, if you're experiencing very dry weather, cold weather. For what this product promises to do, it promises to lock in moisture and allow the skin to repair, revealing plump, smooth, and hydrated skin. I think it delivers on all of those, as well as providing some anti-aging benefits. So this is a good example of one that under promises and over delivers, which I love, much rather do that than disappoint people. It's very enjoyable to use, very nice for dry, sensitive skin at night, also nice for dehydrated skin types. If you have acne prone skin, I'd be a little cautious, so for acne prone skin we've got octyl palmitate, ceto alcohol, cetyl alcohol, squalane, castor seed oil."
Paula's Choice Skincare Clinical PRO Retinaldehyde Dual-Retinoid Treatment Review, How to Use, Dupes
"After you apply your retinoid in your evening routine, be sure to apply it with a good moisturizer. I like the Klairs Midnight Blue Cool Cream, or the CeraVe snail cream, or both usually. Make sure you apply it with a good moisturizer because the retinoid can be on the strong side."
2023's Most Repurchased Skincare & Beauty Products - My Favorites of the Year
"The Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Cream, absolutely amazing. I use this in conjunction with the Cosrx snail cream at the end of my evening routine. Full of good ingredients, peptides, anti-aging ingredients, still calming and soothing, absolutely amazing, and still pretty affordable. And if you have the choice between this and the jar, get the tube version. It's a little bit more and you'll thank me later because the jar is messy and painful to use."

"Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Cream, I've been using this maybe going towards a decade, not quite a decade yet, but it's a really nice sleeping mask.

"Last but not least is the Klairs Midnight Blue Calamine Cream, which is twenty six bucks. It's got polypeptides, it's got amino acids, it's got bacillus ferment, folic acid, vitamin E, fragrance free jelly cream. This one is a great nighttime cream, it's great for soothing, for acne prone skin. It's got eighty eight ingredients of note, so be cautious. My favorite out of this whole pile would hands down be the Neoen, so I just love it, and then probably second the Klairs."

NEOGEN Surmedic Azulene Soothing Cream Review & Comparison to Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Cream
"I've been taking a dollop of it and applying it to my face and neck at the end of my evening routine and only my evening routine because I do find it looks a little greasy and too greasy to be using in the morning routine especially if you're using sunscreen over it. It takes a while to sink in so I prefer using it in your evening routine. I apply it after I've applied everything else and I apply this as my very last step or sometimes I'll pat on an oil afterwards but typically I make this my very last step. It is very shiny, so you're going to want to use it as an evening product. I use it like a sleeping mask but with a nice texture, and it soaks in as I sleep."

"I consider this more of a sleeping mask, I don't consider it a cream, but the title of it has cream in it so I should mention it, and that's the Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Cream. So I consider this more of a sleeping mask, however it's a cream technically, so this list would be incomplete without it, because I've been using this now for years in my evening routine, usually with the CeraVe SA cream, and I love it and it's amazing and my routine wouldn't feel right without it. It's probably the single product I repurchased the most out of everything, so that says a lot."
