Dear, Klairs EGF Blue AC Calming Serum is a multi-functional soothing serum designed for skin dealing with breakouts, excess oil, dehydration, sensitivity and a weakened skin barrier.
The formula is particularly suited to acne-prone skin and stubborn under-the-skin breakouts. According to the brand, it targets five major indicators associated with breakouts: inner dryness, sebum, excess oil, keratin buildup and a damaged skin barrier.
At the heart of the formula is sh-Oligopeptide-1 (EGF), paired with guaiazulene for intensive soothing care. Guaiazulene also contributes to the serum's distinctive natural light-blue appearance.
For hydration, the serum combines Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium PCA and panthenol, helping replenish moisture without a rich or heavy finish. This makes it particularly appealing for skin that feels oily on the surface yet tight or dehydrated underneath.
Niacinamide supports a more balanced and even-looking complexion, while Centella Asiatica, green tea, Houttuynia Cordata and allantoin provide additional soothing care for sensitive and stressed skin.
The formula also contains Gluconolactone (PHA) and Capryloyl Salicylic Acid (LHA) for gentle exfoliating care. These ingredients help address dead skin buildup, clogged pores and uneven texture while supporting clearer, smoother-looking skin.
A complex of 17 amino acids provides additional conditioning care for a compromised skin barrier.
According to the manufacturer's presented testing, after four weeks of use, skin surface oil was reduced by 29% and sebum by 18%. The brand also presents results relating to improved hydration and skin barrier condition. Individual results may vary.
