Benefits
- Calms down irritation and lessens redness – Most of the users are satisfied as to how the cream works wonders in calming down their irritated skin. This product has guaiazulene, which is a skin-calming agent extracted from chamomile oil.
- Great for sunburns, post-shaving, and post-laser treatments – Many users have commented that their male partners also use the product to ease redness or irritation after shaving or staying too long in the sun. Besides guaiazulene, it has Centella Asiatica extract, which hydrates the skin, relieves irritation, and enables wound healing.
- Perfect for those with rosacea condition – Some reviewers claimed that the product helped manage their rosacea, a skin condition that causes redness and bumps on the different parts of the face. Aside from guaiazulene, this product has a lot of ingredients contributing to the effectiveness of the treatment. Some have anti-inflammatory, anti-irritation, anti-microbial, and wound healing properties.
- Great “in case of emergency” product – Users say that this cream is a skin-saver. They claimed it to ease discomfort from sunburns, pimple breakout, and even rashes caused by allergies. Its star ingredient, guaiazulene, is often a raw ingredient of burn ointments. It also demonstrated positive effects in sunburns, eczema, and ulcerative skin disease as per Japanese clinical trials.
- Light, silky cream good for humid summer nights – Reviewers of the product recommend it for those hot, humid summer nights as it is lightweight. It does not leave any residue. Some users are pleased with its creamy, silky texture. It easy to apply and spread out, so a little really goes a long way.
- Smells great/very mild scent – A few have mentioned that they like how the product smells. Note that this cream has no added artificial fragrance and that the scent might be from the natural scent of its ingredients.
Things that you might not like
- Breakouts and red patches – Reviewers who gave low ratings to this product mostly experienced breakouts and irritations after using it. Make it a habit to do a patch test first before applying fully on the face.
- Not moisturizing enough – Many users commented that it did not provide enough hydration for their skin and that they still used moisturizer. Klairs classifies this cream as a spot treatment and not a standalone moisturizer. You may use a supplement following this moisturizing night cream for your hydration needs, especially if you have dry skin.
- Packaging – Some users noted that they are not a fan of the 30 ml jar. Either they fear contamination or waste of product. They observed that they tend to be getting more than enough product using the included spatula. This cream, however, has a 60 ml size packaged in a tube, which is great for travel.
- Pricy – A 30 ml (1.01 oz) bottle ranges from $21 to $25 and the 60ml (2 oz) tube ranges from $26 to $31. Hence, most users deemed his night cream as too pricy. But, you can occasionally find good deals for this product and get it at a discounted price.
Recommendations
- Klairs formulated the Midnight Blue Calming Cream as a spot treatment, while it can be for daily use, experts advise to use it only when needed.
- As mentioned, it is not classified as a standalone moisturizer. So, especially for those with dry skin, we recommend that you apply a supplement moisturizer after this night cream.
