Midnight Blue Youth Activating Drop

Korea ranking #36 serumUS stock

A concentrated nighttime serum in Klairs' signature deep-blue color, pairing skin-calming guaiazulene with peptides aimed at firmness and renewal. The blue comes from the guaiazulene itself rather than a dye, and it rubs in clear to a light, non-greasy finish. It is meant as a gentle anti-aging step for skin that also runs sensitive or reactive.

More detail

The formula leads with two peptide and growth-factor ingredients (sh-oligopeptide-1 and sh-polypeptide-1) that are studied for supporting skin renewal and firmness, plus adenosine, a well-established anti-wrinkle ingredient, and antioxidant blueberry extract. Its striking midnight-blue color comes from guaiazulene, a compound derived from chamomile that also helps settle redness and irritation. The texture is a lightweight, slightly slippery serum that absorbs quickly without tackiness. Klairs designed it for evening use: after cleansing and toner, press a few drops over the face before your moisturizer. It is fragrance-free, essential-oil-free, and alcohol-free, which suits sensitive skin, but the peptides are active ingredients, so introduce it gradually and patch-test first, and note that the deep blue is natural, not an added dye.
