What the gurus are saying

Gurus consistently praise this cream as an affordable, ingredient-rich favorite they repurchase regularly. The reformulation to remove fragrance is widely celebrated. Praise centers on its hydrating peptides, calming properties, and redness-reducing effect. The main caveat: it's best used at night because it feels greasy and takes time to absorb, making it unsuitable for morning routines under sunscreen. One reviewer noted the mint ingredient was off-putting and wanted more antioxidants. The tube format is strongly preferred over the jar.

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."

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."
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."

"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."
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."
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."
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."

"The Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Cream, which as a step either in lieu of moisturizer or as a step prep for it really does bring down the red. You can totally find this and it's wonderful. This has brought things down. It's just very calming, very soothing."
