A treatment cream, that is soothing, capable of calming inflammation, and also rich in anti-aging ingredients? This is the promise of the Midnight Blue Calming Cream, the multi-tasking (and blue!) cream from the Korean skincare brand Klairs!
I’m a bit late with this review as I started using the Midnight Blue Calming Cream several months ago, in early spring.
However, this pretty blue cream definitely deserves your attention!
In fact, I think I even owe it a great debt of gratitude, because it allowed my skin to survive the application of a very harsh retinol cream (the Drunk Elephant’s retinol cream, I’ll probably talk about it at one point).
For me, the Midnight Blue Calming Cream is great to have in your closet, even if I don’t use it all the time (my skin feels much better, fortunately) because it’s so good to soothe and repair sensitive skin!
At the moment, in summer, it’s also perfect in the evening if you were outside in the sun during the day!
I’ll give you all the details about this all-purpose blue cream in this review! 🙂

+ Pros
- the formula is top-notch, with a lot of great skincare ingredients,
- the packaging in a tube is very practical (it also exists in a jar version, in a smaller size),
- it's 2 in 1: moisturizer and anti-inflammatory SOS product,
- its very effective soothing effect,
- the powerful anti-aging ingredients,
- the pleasant texture, rich but well absorbed by my skin (a little goes a long way!),
- I love its blue color (which is completely natural!),
- the price is not too bad (especially for the quantity of product),
- the brand is easily available online.
- Cons
- the texture may be a little rich for oilier skin types (I personally have to use it at night only).

For Who
For all skin types (even oily), and more particularly:
– sensitized skin, with a damaged protective barrier,

Concerns
– redness,

Method
I use it more in the evening but you can use it morning and/or evening.
I take a small amount of product, which I apply to my skin at the end of my routine, after my serums.
I massage my face and neck for a few seconds until the cream is absorbed.
I also use it as an SOS product, if I have a breakout or redness. In this case, I apply it at the end of my evening routine, in a thick layer, on the area I want to soothe. It’s very effective to calm irritated areas!

Can I use Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Cream daily?
This product is gentle enough that you can use it everyday. However, if you're not really suffering from skin sensitivity or specific skin issues that the cream addresses, it might be a waste of a perfectly good product.What does Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Cream do?
Klairs Midnight Calming Cream is a gentle recovery cream that provides comfort to rapidly calm and soothe sensitivity. Its star ingredients are Guaiazulene, a natural component extracted from Chamomile oil, which carries powerful skin calming abilities, and Centella Asiatica, which helps hydrate and relieve redness.Can I use Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Cream as moisturizer?
Correction: Wishtrend has informed me that the Midnight Blue Calming Cream is not meant for use as a moisturizer but solely as a spot treatment for irritated or sensitive areas.What does a calming cream do?
A cream that helps to calm & strengthen barriers in extremely sensitive skin. It works rapidly to soothe and regulate irritated (by heat or sebum), stressed skin. At the last step of your skin care routine, apply a small amount to areas of sensitivity or irritation, and gently tap in to allow full absorption.
