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 stronger of the brand's two tone focused bottles, so alternate nights for the first fortnight is a better start than twice a day.
Key benefits
- What it is: serum, 35ml, 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.
Key actives
Ascorbic Acid
Ascorbic Acid, pure vitamin C, is one of the most researched brightening and antioxidant ingredients in skincare, and this formula carries it in its active acid form rather than a milder derivative.
Centella Asiatica Extract
Centella Asiatica Extract is the calming botanical Korean skincare built an entire ingredient category around, and it is confirmed here on this row's own list rather than inferred from the brand's centella-forward branding.
Citrus Paradisi (Grapefruit) Fruit Extract
Citrus Paradisi (Grapefruit) Fruit Extract (grapefruit) gives this formula its citrus character and is a common choice in Korean toners aimed at a brighter, refreshed feel.
Citrus Junos Fruit Extract
Citrus Junos Fruit Extract is confirmed on this row's own ingredient list rather than inferred from the product's name or category, which is what makes it a checkable component of the formula rather than a marketing-only mention.
Illicium Verum (Anise) Fruit Extract
Illicium Verum (Anise) Fruit Extract is confirmed on this row's own ingredient list rather than inferred from the product's name or category, which is what makes it a checkable component of the formula rather than a marketing-only mention.
What is the KLAIRS Freshly Juiced Vitamin Drop?
It is a 35ml drop 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 stronger of two similar bottles in the range, so it is worth introducing slowly. A few drops covers a face.
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 35ml 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.
Is this the same version sold in Korea?
Yes, this is the Korean-market formula rather than a US reformulation of it. The 35ml comes with Korean primary labelling and an intact barcode, which is what lets you verify what you have received.

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.
- Start on alternate nights for a fortnight before using it daily.
- Store it away from heat and light, and keep the cap closed tightly.
