How it works
A serum sits between a toner and a cream in both texture and job: thinner than a moisturiser, heavier than water. It spreads as a thin film that turns from wet to slightly tacky in under a minute, and that tack is the cue to move on. Because it is a leave on layer it stays on the face under everything after it, unlike a rinse off step that leaves with the water. The reason it goes under a cream rather than over one is simple physics: a light fluid cannot sit on top of a heavy occlusive film. This is the gentler of the brand's two tone focused bottles, which makes it the one to start with if a stronger step has bothered you before.
Key benefits
- What it is: serum, 30ml, used the treatment step after toner and before a moisturiser.
- Texture: a light fluid that turns tacky and then settles.
- Aimed at: dullness, uneven looking tone, the look of dark spots.
- Original Korean Formula: the version sold on Korean shelves, not a US reformulation.
Inside the formula
Inside the formula
What is the KLAIRS Freshly Juiced Vitamin Charging Serum 30ml?
It is a 30ml serum used in the treatment slot of a routine, after toner and before a moisturiser, aimed at dullness and uneven looking tone. It is the milder of two similar bottles in the range. Judge it over four to six weeks rather than days.
Where does the serum go in my routine?
After cleansing and toner, before emulsion, cream or oil. A serum is the treatment slot, so it wants clean damp skin under it and a moisturiser over it. If you use an exfoliating step, that goes before this rather than after.
Will it pill under makeup?
It should not, provided each layer is given a moment to settle before the next one goes on. Pilling almost always comes from stacking wet on wet rather than from any single product. Press each layer in with flat palms and wait until the surface feels tacky instead of slippery.
Can I use the 30ml morning and night?
Yes, twice a day is a normal way to use a serum, though once at night is enough if the rest of your routine is already long. Consistency at one time of day beats an ambitious routine you abandon after a fortnight. Judge it after four to six weeks rather than after a few days.

Ingredient list read from jolse.com on 10 September 2026.
25 of 25 explained
- Aqua (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.
- 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid antioxidant
- 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid is a stable vitamin C derivative that skin converts to ascorbic acid. It survives in a formula far better than pure vitamin C and works at a gentler pH, so it suits skin that finds the pure acid uncomfortable.
- 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.
- Niacinamide active
- Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. It is used at roughly 2 to 5 percent for the look of uneven tone and visible pores, and it is water soluble, stable and comfortable beside almost every other active, which is why it turns up in so many lists.
- 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.
- 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.
- Methylpropanediol humectant
- Methylpropanediol is a small glycol used to hydrate and to help water-soluble actives penetrate the outer layer of skin more evenly. It leaves almost no tack, which suits watery textures.
- 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.
- Citrus Limon (Lemon) Fruit Extract plant extract
- Lemon fruit extract, carrying citric acid, sugars and flavonoids. It is the water-based fruit extract rather than the peel oil, so it brings the fruit acids without the aromatic terpenes.
- Citrus Nobilis (Mandarin Orange) Peel extract plant extract
- Mandarin peel extract, carrying citrus flavonoids and aromatic compounds. It is used as a conditioning antioxidant extract.
- Citrus Paradisi (Grapefruit) Fruit Extract plant extract
- Grapefruit fruit extract, carrying fruit acids, sugars and flavonoids. It is used as a conditioning, antioxidant-rich extract.
- Sodium Polyacryloyldimethyl Taurate thickener
- Sodium Polyacryloyldimethyl Taurate is a polymer thickener that holds a gel stable even with a lot of salt or acid in the formula.
13 more explained
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate active
- Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is a water-soluble salt derived from licorice root. It is the licorice fraction Korean formulas use for the look of redness, and it is far more stable in water than the whole extract.
- 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.
- Adenosine active
- Adenosine is a nucleoside that Korea's own cosmetic authority recognises as a wrinkle-care functional ingredient, which is why it appears on so many Korean lists at a low level. It is used for the look of fine lines and is stable and well tolerated.
- Madecassoside active
- Madecassoside is the centella triterpene most associated with the look of redness, and the one brands lead with in cica products. It is water soluble and stable, so it appears in essences as readily as in creams.
- Sodium Phytate chelator
- Sodium Phytate is a rice-derived chelator used in place of EDTA. It ties up trace metals so the formula stays stable and its colour and scent hold.
- Beta-Glucan polysaccharide
- Beta-Glucan is a polysaccharide from oats or yeast. It holds a large amount of water, forms a soothing film, and is one of the ingredients formulators reach for in products aimed at reactive skin.
- 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.
- Linolenic Acid fatty acid
- Linolenic Acid is an omega-3 fatty acid from seed oils. It is an emollient and part of the lipid mix skin uses in its own surface layer.
- Xanthan Gum thickener
- Xanthan Gum is a polysaccharide made by fermenting sugar. It thickens a watery formula into a gel and holds the whole thing in suspension so nothing separates. Too much of it and a serum turns stringy, which is why it appears in fractions 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.

How to use
- Cleanse and tone, then apply this while the skin is still slightly damp so it spreads without dragging.
- Use one or two pumps for the whole face and press it in with flat palms rather than rubbing in circles.
- Wait until the surface feels tacky rather than wet, then put your moisturiser on top.
- Do not use it as your only layer on dry skin, since a light fluid left uncovered is the first thing to evaporate.
Worth knowing
- Introduce it on its own for a week before adding another new treatment step.
- Patch test on the jawline first if your skin reacts easily to something new.
