What is the KLAIRS Daily Comfort Hand Cream(Unscented) 370g for?

It is a hand cream from KLAIRS, used as an as-needed step, whenever hands feel dry and especially after washing them.

Where does the Daily Comfort Hand Cream(Unscented) 370g go in a routine?

Use it as an as-needed step, whenever hands feel dry and especially after washing them. That placement is what a hand cream in a Korean-formula routine is generally built for, and it is the sequence we would use for the Daily Comfort Hand Cream(Unscented) 370g specifically.

Is this the Korean-market formula or a US-reformulated version?

What we ship is the version built for the Korean market, with its Korean barcode and batch code intact on the box.

Anything to know before using it?

A little goes a long way; over-applying leaves a greasy feel that takes longer to absorb. That placement is what a hand cream in a Korean-formula routine is generally built for, and it is the sequence we would use for the Daily Comfort Hand Cream(Unscented) 370g specifically.

Does this fit into a routine alongside other Korean Pharmacy products?

Yes. The Daily Comfort Hand Cream(Unscented) 370g is built to sit in the ordinary sequence of a Korean skincare routine, so it layers normally with a cleanser, toner, and moisturizer step from any brand, including other KLAIRS products in the same line.

How it works

Daily Comfort Hand Cream(Unscented) 370g is KLAIRS's hand cream, a hand cream, used outside the facial routine as needed through the day. Its own ingredient list carries Panthenol at entry 16 of 56; Hyaluronic Acid at entry 38 of 56; Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate at entry 40 of 56; Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil at entry 4 of 56, which is what the key-actives panel below is built from rather than the product name alone. A hand cream's finish is built to sit through hand-washing and daily use rather than the longer wear time a facial cream gets. Placement in the routine matters as much as any single ingredient, so this step is built to layer cleanly with what comes before and after it. Patch-test on the inner arm before a first full-face use, as with any new skincare step, and stop if irritation appears.

How to use

Use it as an as-needed step, whenever hands feel dry and especially after washing them.

1 of 2

53 of 56 explained

Water solvent: Water is the base almost every serum, toner and cream is built on. It dissolves the water-loving ingredients and sets how light the finished texture feels. On an INCI list it is usually first, which only means it is the largest single ingredient by weight.
Glycerin humectant: Glycerin is the most used humectant in skincare. It draws water into the outer layer of skin and holds it there, and it is one of the very few ingredients whose hydrating effect is settled science rather than marketing. Higher amounts feel tacky, which is why it is usually blended.
Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride emollient: Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride is the light fraction of coconut oil, with the heavy parts removed. It is the workhorse emollient of modern formulas: it softens skin, dissolves oil-soluble actives and absorbs without the greasy weight of a whole plant oil.
Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil emollient: Sunflower Seed Oil is high in linoleic acid, the fatty acid dry and blemish-prone skin is often short of. It is a light, non-fragrant emollient and one of the better tolerated plant oils.
Undecane solvent: A light plant-derived hydrocarbon that evaporates, almost always paired with tridecane. Together they give the dry, fast-disappearing feel volatile silicones used to provide.
Polyglyceryl-3 Distearate emulsifier: Polyglyceryl-3 Distearate is a plant-derived emulsifier used to hold oil and water together in creams and lotions.
1,2-Hexanediol humectant: 1,2-Hexanediol is a glycol used for two reasons: it holds water like glycerin, and it makes a formula harder for microbes to live in, so less traditional preservative is needed. Korean formulas use it heavily for that second reason.
Tridecane solvent: A plant-derived hydrocarbon used with undecane as a volatile silicone alternative. It spreads a formula thin and then leaves.
Stearyl Alcohol fatty alcohol: Stearyl Alcohol is a solid fatty alcohol used to thicken and stabilise creams. Like the other fatty alcohols it is an emollient, not a solvent.
Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter emollient: Shea Butter is the fat pressed from the shea nut, rich in oleic and stearic acids and unsaponifiable plant sterols. It is a heavy emollient and partial occlusive, which is why it sits in balms and night creams rather than in essences.
Hydrogenated Lecithin emulsifier: Hydrogenated Lecithin is lecithin with its unsaturated bonds filled in, which makes it far more stable. It emulsifies and is the standard shell for the liposomes that carry actives into the outer layer of skin.
Glyceryl Stearate Citrate emulsifier: Glyceryl Stearate Citrate is a mild, citrate-modified emulsifier. It holds oil and water together and is chosen for formulas aimed at reactive skin.

Trehalose humectant: Trehalose is a sugar that some desert plants use to survive drying out. In skincare it is a humectant that holds water in the outer layer and helps a formula feel comfortable rather than tight.
Betula Platyphylla Japonica Bark Extract plant extract: Japanese white birch bark extract, carrying betulin and flavonoids. It is a different ingredient from the tapped birch sap on the same lists.
Panthenol humectant: Panthenol is pro-vitamin B5: skin converts it to pantothenic acid. It is a humectant that holds water and leaves skin feeling soft and less tight, and it is one of the ingredients formulators reach for when a formula also contains something harsh.
Pantolactone humectant: Pantolactone is a panthenol relative used as a conditioning humectant. It softens the outer layer of skin and helps a formula feel comfortable.
Pentylene Glycol humectant: Pentylene Glycol hydrates and, like the other longer-chain glycols, makes a formula less hospitable to microbes so the preservative system can be lighter. It also improves how evenly a product spreads.
Butylene Glycol humectant: Butylene Glycol is a small glycol that does two jobs at once: it holds water in the top layer of skin and it dissolves plant extracts and actives that plain water cannot. It also thins a formula, which is why watery Korean essences lean on it.
Tocopherol antioxidant: Tocopherol is vitamin E. It is an oil-soluble antioxidant that protects the oils in a formula from going rancid and works on skin as an emollient, and it is regularly paired with vitamin C because each keeps the other going for longer.
Alanine amino acid: Alanine is a free amino acid skin uses as part of its own moisture-holding system. In a formula it hydrates and conditions.
Arginine amino acid: Arginine is an amino acid that does two jobs here: it holds water in the outer layer of skin, and it neutralises acidic gelling agents, which is why it often stands in for a synthetic pH adjuster.
Cysteine amino acid: Cysteine is a sulphur-bearing amino acid used as a humectant and antioxidant. It is one of the three building blocks of glutathione.
Glycine amino acid: Glycine is the smallest amino acid and one of the free amino acids skin holds to keep water in the outer layer. In a formula it is a humectant and a mild buffer.
Histidine amino acid: Histidine is an amino acid used as a humectant and a buffer, part of skin's own free amino acid pool.
Isoleucine amino acid: Isoleucine is an essential amino acid used as a conditioning humectant within an amino acid complex.
Leucine amino acid: Leucine is an essential amino acid used as a humectant, part of the amino acid block many Korean essences carry.
Lysine amino acid: Lysine is an essential amino acid used as a conditioning humectant in an amino acid complex.
Methionine amino acid: Methionine is a sulphur-bearing essential amino acid used as a humectant and mild antioxidant.
Phenylalanine amino acid: Phenylalanine is an essential amino acid used in skincare as a conditioning humectant.
Proline amino acid: Proline is an amino acid abundant in collagen and one of skin's own humectants. Added to a formula it holds water in the outer layer.
Serine amino acid: Serine is one of the most abundant free amino acids in the outer layer of skin, where it helps hold water. Added to a formula it is a humectant.
Threonine amino acid: Threonine is an essential amino acid used in skincare as a humectant, normally as part of an amino acid complex rather than alone.
Tyrosine amino acid: Tyrosine is an amino acid used as a conditioning humectant in amino acid complexes.
Valine amino acid: Valine is an essential amino acid used as a humectant alongside the rest of an amino acid block.
Aspartic Acid amino acid: Aspartic Acid is an amino acid used as a humectant and buffer, usually within a wider amino acid blend.
Glutamic Acid amino acid: Glutamic Acid is an amino acid used as a humectant and a mild pH adjuster. It is one of the components of skin's natural moisturising factor.
Hyaluronic Acid humectant: Hyaluronic Acid is a sugar chain the body already makes, and one gram of it can hold several litres of water. In a formula it is a humectant that pulls water to the surface of skin and holds it in a film, which is what makes skin look plumper while it is there.
Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid humectant: Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid is hyaluronic acid cut into much shorter fragments. The smaller the fragment, the further into the outer layer it can settle, which is why serums stack several sizes together instead of using one.
Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hyaluronate humectant: Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hyaluronate carries a positive charge, and skin carries a slight negative one, so it is attracted to the surface and stays through rinsing. It is the hyaluronic used where a formula gets washed off.
Potassium Hyaluronate humectant: Potassium Hyaluronate is another salt of hyaluronic acid, used for the same reason as the sodium form: it dissolves easily and holds a large amount of water in the outer layer of skin.
Sodium Hyaluronate humectant: Sodium Hyaluronate is the salt of hyaluronic acid, and it is what most products labelled hyaluronic actually contain. The salt dissolves more readily and the molecule is smaller, so it sits in the outer layer of skin rather than only on top of it.
Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer humectant: Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer is hyaluronic acid linked into a mesh. It holds water in a soft gel on the surface rather than sinking in, and it releases that water slowly through the day.
Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate humectant: Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate is hyaluronic acid modified to be part oil-loving, so it clings to skin instead of rinsing away. Formulators call it the one that stays put.
Arachidyl Alcohol fatty alcohol: Arachidyl Alcohol is a long-chain fatty alcohol used as a thickener and emollient, usually alongside behenyl alcohol.
Behenyl Alcohol fatty alcohol: Behenyl Alcohol is a long-chain fatty alcohol used to thicken and stabilise a cream. It gives a richer, more velvety body than cetyl alcohol.
Cetyl Alcohol fatty alcohol: Cetyl Alcohol is a waxy fatty alcohol from coconut or palm, unrelated to drying ethanol. It thickens creams, stabilises the emulsion and leaves skin feeling softer.
Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer thickener: This is a carbomer relative with fatty side chains, so it thickens and stabilises an emulsion at the same time. It gives a light gel-cream body rather than a heavy one.
Tromethamine pH adjuster: Tromethamine neutralises acidic thickeners such as carbomer so they gel, and holds a formula near skin-friendly pH. It is used at a fraction of a percent.
Carbomer thickener: Carbomer is a synthetic polymer that only gels once a base neutralises it, which is why arginine or tromethamine sits nearby on the list. It gives the clear, non-stringy gel texture a xanthan formula cannot reach.
Behenic Acid fatty acid: A long-chain saturated fatty acid. It thickens and stabilises an emulsion and gives a rich, waxy feel.
Myristic Acid fatty acid: Myristic Acid is a saturated fatty acid used to thicken and, with a base added, to build the foam in a soap-style cleanser.
Stearic Acid fatty acid: Stearic Acid is a saturated fatty acid from plant fats, and one of the three lipid classes skin's own barrier is built from. In a formula it thickens, stabilises the emulsion and can be turned into a soap-style cleanser by adding a base.
Ethylhexylglycerin preservative booster: Ethylhexylglycerin softens skin and boosts a preservative system, which is why it is nearly always sitting beside phenoxyethanol or 1,2-hexanediol. It also cuts down the odour bacteria produce, so it turns up in deodorising products.

Worth knowing

A little goes a long way; over-applying leaves a greasy feel that takes longer to absorb.
As with any new hand cream, patch test on a small area first and give it a few days before judging the result.
