Based on ~15 reviews

Reviewers consistently find the Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Cream effective for soothing irritation, reducing redness, and providing hydration, particularly for sensitive and oily skin types. Many appreciate its unique blue color and lightweight texture.

The good

Effectively calms irritation and redness

Many reviewers highlight the cream's ability to quickly soothe irritated skin and reduce redness, often seeing results overnight or within a few days. This is attributed to key ingredients like Guaiazulene and Centella Asiatica.

"This gentle cream instantly calms and soothes sensitive skin. Star ingredients include Guaiazulene, a natural component extracted from Chamomile Oil with powerful calming effects, and Centella Asiatica that hydrates the skin and relieves redness."

Lightweight and easily absorbed texture

The cream's lightweight, gel-like consistency is frequently praised, especially by those with oily or combination skin. It absorbs well without leaving a greasy or sticky residue.

"The Midnight Blue Calming Cream takes a while to absorb and I've been using this toward the end of my skincare routine, and at times when my skin feels dry or irritated."

Suitable for sensitive and acne-prone skin

A significant number of users with sensitive and acne-prone skin report that the cream helps to calm breakouts and prevent further irritation without clogging pores.

"I have oily skin, no acne woes but I do experience redness, itchiness and sensitivity on bad days."

Versatile use for various skin concerns

Reviewers use this cream for a range of issues, including post-sun irritation, sensitivity from retinoids, general redness, and calming skin after treatments like lasers.

"I also use this after I use my home Tria and Illuminage Lasers to help my skin calm down."

Unique and appealing blue color

The cream's distinctive blue hue, derived from Guaiazulene, is a commonly mentioned positive aspect, adding to the product's appeal and visual identity.

"That striking blue is a natural color!"

The trade-offs

Small quantity for the price

A recurring complaint is the small size of the product, particularly the 30ml jar, which many feel is not enough for the price, especially when used on larger areas.

"FYI- this comes in two sizes, I highly recommend picking up the larger size, it is double the amount, packaged better than the small size, and only a few dollars more."

Jar packaging can be unhygienic

Some reviewers express concern about the hygienic aspects of the jar packaging for the smaller size, preferring the tube format of the larger version.

"obviously they have a jar and a tube so the tube is just a not too much more but you get double the product and you get the benefits from having it packaged in a tube so it's definitely the way to go if you're gonn"

Not sufficiently moisturizing for very dry skin

Reviewers with very dry skin often find this cream is not rich enough to provide adequate hydration on its own, suggesting it might be better as a spot treatment or used with another moisturizer.

"The cream is meant to be a spot treatment for irritated skin and is not moisturizing enough on its own to be a final cream."

Contains essential oils which can be irritating for some

Despite being marketed for sensitive skin, the presence of essential oils like lavender and eucalyptus can be a concern for some users with heightened sensitivities, potentially leading to irritation.

"Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil, Pelargonium Graveolens Flower Oil, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Peel Oil, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Peel Oil, Cananga Odorata Flower Oil,"
