I have a love-hate relationship with anti-aging products. Love them because I’m getting to that age where my skin needs them, hate them because brands seem to think anti-aging = rich and heavy *rolls eyes*.
So when I learned about the Klairs Midnight Blue Youth Activating Drop, I kept my fingers crossed that this was the one.

Klairs Midnight Blue Youth Activating Drop ingredients
- EGF – aka Epidermal growth factors. Its discovery led to a Nobel Prize, which hints at the potentials and significance of this ingredient. Studies have shown it to stimulate skin regeneration at the cellular level, increase skin renewal rate, and slow down the rate of skin thinning1,2.
- bFGF – Basic fibroblast growth factors can help accelerate wound healing and prevent scar formations3.
- Blueberry fruit extract – contains resveratrol, which is an excellent antioxidant.
- Adenosine – helps smooth out our skin and decrease the appearances of wrinkles
- Guaiazulene – extracted from the chamomile flower, it’s great for soothing the skin and has anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and anti-oxidant properties4.
What impresses me most about the Midnight Blue Youth Activating drops is the high concentration of the anti-aging ingredients: 93% of the total weight is the EGG + bFGF. For me I’d rather have just a few potent ingredients rather than a bunch of ingredients at low concentrations.
Growth factors – just a hype or the real deal?
EFG and bFGF sound like the ideal anti-aging ingredient on paper – it works to repair and regenerate our skin5, stimulate collagen production6, and replace damaged (whether by environmental factors or UV rays) cells with healthy ones7.
They actually occur naturally in our bodies and thus don’t cause the same irritation as other anti-aging ingredients like retinol and vitamin c. But as with all good things, EGF levels rapidly decrease in our mid-20’s, and your skin is no longer able to repair itself as quickly as before. Cue in the loss of elasticity and appearance of fine lines.
While growth factors sound wonderful, their molecule sizes are generally also too large to be absorbed by the skin, though micro-needling or the use of a penetration enhancer like butylene glycol (included in the Klairs Midnight Blue Youth Activating Drop) can help8.
Lastly, EGFs’ effects on the skin are nowhere near as well studied as retinol or other better known anti-aging ingredients, though current research shows promising results.
So no, growth factors aren’t perfect, but from what we know so far, they’re living up to the hype. I wouldn’t toss out your retinol just yet, but growth factors are a great anti-aging ingredient to consider especially if you want something gentle and effective.
How to use the Klairs Midnight Blue Youth Activating Drops
- According to my esthetician, EGF products should be the first thing applied after cleansing and exfoliating. This is to ensure the ingredients are properly absorbed into your skin.
- EGF should also be used twice a day to get the best results.
- Due to the watery texture, I would either add the drops to your palm and then pat it in, or drop it directly on your skin making sure the pipette doesn’t touch anything!
- I use 3-4 drops for my face.
Usage experience & results
![Effortless anti-aging boost with the Klairs Midnight Blue Youth Activating Drop](jpg/klairs-midnight-blue-youth-activating-drop-2.jpg)
First thing I love about the Klairs Midnight Blue Youth Activating Drops? How lightweight it is. If you struggle with layering products because they start to feel heavy, this serum is the perfect addition to your routine.
It’s literally like applying water, which can actually be tricky at times because it’s too watery. This is the one time where I do suggest dropping the product directly on your face – just make sure the pipette doesn’t touch your skin!
Next, products containing growth factors can be expensive – like $100+ expensive. I’m really impressed that Klairs was able to deliver EGFs in such high concentration at a reasonable price, but none of this matters unless the product works, which brings us to…
Does the Klairs Midnight Blue Youth Activating Drop work?
This is always a tough question, especially for anti-aging products. Klairs cleverly markets this as a product that “delays aging”, not one that reverses the signs of aging, which really is what 99% of all anti-aging products are. Luckily I don’t have any wrinkles yet, so for me using the Youth Activating Drop is definitely about prevention.
![Effortless anti-aging boost with the Klairs Midnight Blue Youth Activating Drop](jpg/klairs-midnight-blue-youth-activating-drop-4.jpg)
It took finishing an entire bottle to realize that my skin feels smoother, more refined, and generally healthier. The changes are subtle, and it might even take you stopping the product completely for a while to realize the difference it made!
As with all anti-aging products, it takes continuous long term use to notice the effects (ie. the delay in lines and wrinkles), so I’m more than happy with the general improvements I’ve already seen.
What others are saying
Full reviews are linked so if your skin type matches, I highly recommend reading further to get a better idea of how this product will work for your skin type!
I don’t think this serum alone can transform my skin in a spectacular way. On the other hand, I think it’s one of these products that are perfect as an ally for the stronger treatments that I love, such as retinol and acids.
Bonnie of BTY ALY, dehydrated combination skin
After one week of using the Klairs Midnight Blue Youth Activating Drop, my skin texture has improved. In fact, I feel like it’s smoother now and brighter so I guess the skin repair does really work.
Alyssa of Style Vanity, oily acne-prone skin
Somehow, the serum still has a good effect on the skin and makes it feel soft. I don’t think that it will reduce any existing wrinkles though.
Laven of Berries in the Snow, dry skin
I feel like wrinkles need more time to see the results but I totally see the difference with pores and my skin in general – it seems to be more healthy, glowy and pores seems to be cleaner.
Bambi of Kherblog, combination skin
Klairs Midnight Blue Youth Activating Drop alternatives
When I started testing out this product at the end of June, I was immediately reminded of the Hylamide SubQ Anti-Age Serum because they’re so similar in function, size, and texture. So to make things easier, here’s a comparison table:
Klairs Midnight Blue Youth Activating Drop | Hylamide SubQ Anti-Age Serum |
---|---|
$30/25ml ($1.2/ml) | $38/30ml ($1.27/ml) |
Features EGF & bFGF as the main anti-aging ingredients | Contains 6 different anti-aging ingredients, no growth factors thought |
Also contains soothing & calming ingredients | Also contains hydrating ingredients |
10 ingredients total (full list) | 36 ingredients (full list) |
Doesn’t irritate sensitive or inflamed skin | Can sting when used on already irritated skin |
No scent | Smells like wet rags |
Water-like texture, no sticky finish | Water-like texture, just a hint of stickiness that fades quickly |
As much as I love the idea of having a smorgasbord of anti-aging ingredient in one product, my skin just reacts better to simple ingredient lists because it means less chances of ingredient conflict, allergy reaction, or potential irritation.
Even when my skin is sensitive I’m able to use the Youth Activating Drop without any issues, whereas the Hylamide serum stung and irritated my skin further.
Other EGF serums I’ve tried
Skinmedica TNS+ Advanced Serum – For $265 this did deliver more noticeable results than the Klairs. Is it worth the drastic price difference? If you’re under 30, heck no, please save your money and use the Midnight Blue Youth Activating Drops instead. If you’re older and have the budget, Skinmedica’s formula is undeniably better.
PCA SKIN Total Strength Serum – At $98, this is middle ground between the Skinmedica and Klairs, and uses both EGF and peptides for its anti-aging functions. Sadly I did not notice results with this one :(
Final Verdict
- Packaging8.5/10
- Ingredients9/10
- Texture/Application10/10
- Performance9/10
- Price7.5/10
Yet another winning product from Klairs! This is an excellent anti-aging booster to add to any routine thanks to its simple but concentrated ingredient list. If you're looking to improve your overall skin condition and delay the signs of aging, this product will fit right into your existing routine nicely, no matter your skin type or condition. This is a product I will be repurchasing, and would highly recommend it to anyone, especially those with sensitive skin!

How do you slip this serum into your skin routine if also using retinol? I have sensitive skin and find it difficult to use retinol so I need a serum to either support the use of the drying effects of retinol or hopefully replace it!!! Is there anything you’ve found better for supporting ‘anti ageing’ of sensitive skin than retinol? Thanks!!
This would go before your retinol, ideally the first step after cleansing. If you have sensitive skin, you can check out my list of retinol-free anti-aging alternatives!
Can this be used in the same routine with a vitamin c serum? Or should I keep the vit c in the morning and then this for night time?
You can use the two together :)
Is this safe for pregnant woman
It doesn’t have retinol or salicylic acid which are the two main ingredients to avoid during pregnancy, but you should still check with your doctor.
Hi Jenny! Modesty aside may I know how young are you? (It’s ok if you can’t tell me) :) Just want to know if this will work for me too..Btw, I’m on my 50’s..and may I know the rest of your skin care routine after this serum? Thanks a bunch!
Hi Maria! I’m 29 almost 30, and I typically layer a hydrating/antioxidant serum, a facial oil, and moisturizer after this product. Hope this helps!
Thanks Jenny! You’re still too young…And, thanks also for this thorough review of this Klairs Midnight Blue Youth Serum..it really helped me decide whether I’ll give it a try or not :)
This sounds like a great product! After I give birth and finish breast feeding I’m definitely going to be looking into that. I’m scared of using products with ingredients on my skin while growing/feeding my child… just in case! I love that this doesn’t smell like wet rags either LOL.
You brought up a great point, it’s definitely better to keep skincare products simple during pregnancy just to be safe :) Scent is a huge factor for me when it comes to skincare, so an off-putting one can really sway my opinion on a product.
I don’t use anything related to anti-aging at the moment! But this post was very informative! :) Thanks for sharing and great pictures!! <3 Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
xx
Shivangi
Thank you Shivangi, so glad you found the post helpful!
i’ve seen this floating around internet lately and the first thing that caught my mind was…. yup, the blue colored solution! i was like THIS IS SO COOL I WANNA TRY IT and then i realized a). the price and b). anti-aging? i think it’s too early for me and i probably don’t need it now (even though people say there’s no such thing as too early for using anti aging products, yea? ;P)
at first i was like “ugh anti aging.. even if this is said to be for all skin types, i’m sure this is gonna be too heavy for my combination skin because after all, i live in a humid, tropical country whose weather has zero chill (pun intended because we don’t have seasons here)” but then you said it has a light consistency and you got me interested real bad. uh oh this is dangerous. skincare splurge is the bane of my wallet’s existence! :))
Haha, there’s something super appealing about blue colored products, I totally had the same reaction as well :P It is pricier compared to hydrating serums, but compared to other anti-aging serums I think the price is reasonable, not to mention the texture is fantastic. So it all comes down to whether or not you want to include it in your routine :P I’m in the camp that it’s never too early, but you should do what makes your skin happy! :D
Woah, this is such a thorough review! Definitely much respect to you for having so much knowledge on skincare! The most I got out of it was that it’s watery, lol – I have a few the ordinary serums that are soooo thick that they’ll pill on me when I put my moisturizer on, but I found that mixing them with a facial spray takes care of that. I haven’t heard of this brand before – I’m just stepping outside the sheet mask bubble in Korean skincare and I swear they’re geniuses when it comes to skincare!
Thank you for the sweet comment Becky! I’ve actually been reluctant to try The Ordinary serums for that exact reason, but great tip on mixing them with a facial spray! I’ll have to give them a try now that I know how to apply them!
I have yet to try Klair products… Ive heard a lot of great reviews. Im actually interested to the Vitamin C serum and this youth activating drop. Its good to know some great details about this product because I also have love-hate relationship with anti-aging products.
http://www.emoteragoddess.com
I’ve actually tried the vitamin c serum as well and I wasn’t a fan. It felt more like a facial oil and I wasn’t a fan of the texture. It did brighten my skin a bit but not to the point where I would be willing to repurchase. This youth activating drop wins hands down when it comes to texture :)
What a great, detailed review Jenny! I have seen this brand circulate online, but haven’t tried anything from them yet. This seems like a great deal, plus I love the fact that it’s blue (I’m a bit weird like that lol). Thanks for sharing!
Naya // http://www.partyparrotblog.com
Thank you Naya! I have a thing for blue colored products as well, something about the color is just so soothing :P They also have a blue calming cream which I really love!
As someone who will need to focus on her aging skin, I thank you for this review :) I need to get on the anti-aging game soon XD; I’ve heard of Klairs, but not this product, so thanks for introducing it to me!
You’re welcome Tara! I hope Klairs releases more anti-aging products in the future, I’m a huge fan of the brand!
I prefer simpler formulas as I don’t tend to break out as often. When there’s a millions ingredients in a bottle of anything, then it’s just not a good sign. I haven’t tried anything from this brand before but I’ve have seen them around! Great review Jenny! x
Ann-Marie | http://facetocurls.com/
Totally agree with you! This is definitely a case of more isn’t always better. Definitely recommend giving Klairs’ products a try, they’re really fantastic! Thanks for reading :)
You have it! Love the way you laid everything out, it makes reading so much easier. I just love watery products, and I’m glad this one works too! I’m also so excited to see that it has EGF! I’m now very tempted to buy this and try it myself haha
Yay, so glad to hear that! I prefer watery products as well, it just makes layering so much easier. And I definitely recommend checking this out, would love to hear your thoughts when you do!
I’ve never heard of the brand but Klairs sound like they make amazing products! I love how lightweight it is. I have troubled skin so layering can often clog my pores. Will definitely have to give this a try!
Klairs is definitely one of my favorite brands due to their great product formulations :D Hope you’ll love this serum as much as I do if you try it out!
Absolutely looooveee how incredibly informative all your reviews are! Your blog is amazing babe, so glad I found your blog hehe :) And omg, I heard lots of good things about Klairs, tried their products before and they weren’t so bad :)

I am such a sucker for a good serum. Need to try this one…. anti aging is on my mind these days haha!

http://www.theluxilook.com
Definitely check this one out, it’s one of those serums that you can add to your routine so easily due to its super light texture! :D
This sounds great, with the ingredients you get in it. I don’t need to start using anti ageing products just yet, but I’ll bear it in mind as a possible gift for my Mum xx
Velvet Blush
With anti-aging I don’t think it’s ever too early to start (well, maybe not in your teens, but definitely 20’s) :) This booster makes it really easy since it’s so lightweight and not oily!
It sounds awesome! Might look into this stuff :D
xx Sofia | SOFIAADOT
Hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I do!
Awesome honest review. Does this brand test on animals?
How To Attend NYFW As A Blogger
Thank you Caitlin, and great question! They do not test on animals :)
Oooh this sounds like such an interesting product! I think a lot of issues with new skin care releases is the ingredients haven’t been studied all that much. Of course, the brand usually has their own study where they ask a very small sample size of women how they *feel* their skin looks, but nothing as serious as the research behind well-researched ingredients like retinol and vitamin c. Personally, I enjoy trying new ingredients even if they haven’t been 100% vetted/ studied. Overall this sounds like a promising serum! Also not that it should matter, it’s so pretty XD
Mili | sharmtoaster
Thanks for reading Mili, and I agree, it’s always mildly irritating when I read those “95% of women feel like their skin improved!” statistics, because it just sounds so vague. I enjoy trying new ingredients as well, especially if there are independent studies done to show the efficacy of the ingredients, but I’d never replace proven ingredients like retinol with them. For me they’re more like an extra boost to my routine, which the Klairs works well due to its texture :D
Fantastic informative post, it sounds really good and not mega-expensive either which is always a plus xx
ALittleKiran | Bloglovin
Thanks for reading! It’s always nice to find anti-aging products that are affordable :)
I’m the same as you, my skin reacts better to simple ingredients as I’m really easily irritated and have super sensitive skin, that being said, I love the idea of a plethora of beneficial ingredients.

Thanks for reading Rosy! If you have super sensitive skin this serum would be a great fit since it’s super gentle :)
What a great review babe! And this item being a 9 out of 10? Woaaa, Ive have to take a good look at it. When I first read that it felts like water and isnt noticable on the skin, my thoughts were: goaaaals! I love my Luna Oil and other night serums but they can be sticky or heavy on the skin, while I like to take a good sleep with the feeling of ‘nothing’ on my skin. Thanks for sharing your experience!
xx- An / https://thebeauparlour.com/
Thanks so much for reading An! I thought I enjoyed the Hylamide anti-aging serum, but this one has the same great texture and I can use it even when my skin is sensitive! :D Definitely recommend this for combo/oily skin!
Okay, I definitely want to try this now. It sounds lovely! I always love how you lay everything out so neatly and give ratings. Makes it so easy!
-Emily http://www.coatandcoffee.com
Thank you Emily! And yes, it’s definitely a great anti-aging product to add to your routine, even if you already use one! :D
I’ve never heard of Klairs but this product does sound promising and for what is does, a very reasonable price point. I’ve been testing out a few products with the Neodermyl ingredient which has really helped me with the fine lines around my eyes and forehead x
Sam Hodgett || Beauty, Food & Lifestyle
That’s one reason I really like Klairs, they don’t hype up their products and they’re very reasonably priced. The Neodermyl ingredient sounds interesting, and sounds like something I could use around my eye area too! Is there a particular brand you recommend? :D
Oh very interesting product
xx
Thank you for reading!
I need to try this product, it seems amazing!
Have an awesome day!

It’s a great anti-aging product to start with :) Thanks for reading Kris!
I totally agree with your review. I started using Klairs Midnight Blue Youth Activating Drop around the last week of June when they launched it and it has been a staple in my nighttime skincare routine :) It really suits my oily skin and I noticed my skin is smoother and my dark spots disappearing <3
xx Alyssa // STYLE VANITY
Oh lucky you, I wish this had the same effect on my dark spots too! Sadly mine are too stubborn and even retinol is only fading them bit by bit. But I’m happy with the smoother and healthier skin, so I can’t complain :P Thanks for reading!
Jenny | Geeky Posh
You had me at effortless Jenny! And your breakdown on growth factors was very helpful. I’ve been intrigued by these types of ingredients but I did question their efficacy. This serum sounds like lovely and your results certainly sound promising. Adding it to my ever growing beauty wish list now :)
So glad you found the breakdown helpful! I always like to do my own research to see if the advertised ingredient is as awesome as the brands claim, and it’s always reassuring when there are studies that confirm the claims :) Thanks so much for reading!
Love the sound of this! Again, so detailed Jenny, it’s unreal! x I get what you mean when you say that brands generally seem to think that antiageing = rich and heavy – what a nightmare! However, this looks and sounds really effective yet lightweight at the same time, so it really is ideal! And plus, ingredients wise, you’re also right – I have quite a few allergies I have to bare in mind so this is useful! xx

Aw thank you so much Marina! This is definitely a great entry-way anti-aging product that’ll fit right into any skincare routine :)
Love simple ingredient skincare as well. I would really love trying out this product. Thanks for the review!

Thank you so much Ambi!
Thanks for this review. I had never realized that it had such a short ingredient list! It seems not bad at all. I’ve heard so much about Klairs but haven’t tried anything yet.
And I love how you wrote your article. It’s very clear and easy to read!
Thank you so much lovely, so glad you enjoyed the post! And yes, I was shocked when I learned how short and simple the ingredient list was too, perfect for those with sensitive skin!
Looks like I’m going to have to purchase this asap! It sounds awesome! And the watery texture sounds perfect for layering.
Yes! It doesn’t feel like I’m layering an extra product at all, and it works no matter which products I have in routine. Would love to hear your thoughts on it if you get it!
Great review. It’s aways great to take preventative measures sooner rather than later x
http://www.franklyflawless.com
Thank you Sabiha! I agree, it’s much easier to prevent than to try and reverse the signs!
Great review Jenny! Same here, love an anti-aging product (at this point in my life I really need them) and I find that my skin too reacts better to simple formulas. I am surprised by how affordable this product is. I haven’t tried anything from Klairs yet but have seen them around! I am currently using some mild retinols and an anti-aging serum from Dr. Roebuck’s but as soon as I run out will check this one out! Thank you for sharing this post Jenny!

http://www.CatsDailyLiving.com
Thank you Cat! Most of Klairs products focus on hydration, which is important, but it’s nice to see them branching into anti-aging and doing such a great job too! Would love to hear your thoughts on this if you do try it!
I never heard about this but it looks like a great product with great ingredients! Thank you for sharing!
http://violettedaily.com
Thanks for reading Violette! Klairs is definitely a brand worth checking out, they have some wonderful products!
I was looking at this on Wishtrend and was debating about getting it! I guess my thing with anti-aging products is that I’m in my early 20s so it’s hard for me to see getting stuff like that NOW, although prevention is everything. I know Klairs is a great brand too (love my kbeauty brands) so maybe I’ll just stick with this one since it seems like a really great product for such a reasonable price!
That’s definitely my biggest struggle with anti-aging products, and I’m about to enter my early 30’s, so I totally get what you mean. But unlike retinol which can irritate the skin, I think this is a nice entryway product if you want to get an early start on anti-aging :) Thanks for reading!
I feel so lost when it comes to skincare and the benefits of certain products. I really need to start doing some research. http://www.mrsqbeauty.com
A lot of brands are starting to post more detailed information on their products and ingredients, so that’s always helpful!
I have tried EGF, but it is not an ingredient I actively search for in my products. The research, though promising, is just not convincing enough for me (yet). I do not mind them in my products at all though and the Klairs Youth Activating Drops sound like something I would really enjoy in my routine.
Linda, Libra, Loca: Beauty, Baby and Backpacking
I agree with you Anne, EGF still needs more research to prove it’s efficacy, and it doesn’t help that most brands charge an arm & leg for products containing this. Would love to hear your thoughts if you ever give this a try!
This seems amazing, thanks for such a thorough review!

What a well written review, Jenny and I will add this into my list to purchase. Klairs is a brand that has long intrigued me and now that I am more and more drawn to AB products, I am definitely adding this into my routine sooner than later.
Hi I just want to ask does your serum smells like rubber? Because the one that I ordered from Wishtrend via Qoo10 smells like rubber and I’m kinda worried about it.
No mine definitely didn’t smell like rubber! I would email Wishtrend to see if that’s normal!
Thank you so much Shireen! Klairs was one of the first Kbeauty brands I was introduced to, and they’ve been a favorite of mine ever since. Would love to hear your thoughts if you ever try them out!
