Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin Drop Review. “A Gentle Vitamin C for Sensitive Skin”

Vitamin C serums can be tricky for sensitive skin types, but after a full month of use, I can confidently say the Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin Drop might just be the one for those of us who want results without irritation.

Here's a full breakdown of my experience.

What’s Inside: Hero Ingredients

A Gentle Dose of Vitamin C

This serum contains 5% pure ascorbic acid, which is a lower concentration that makes it great for beginners and sensitive skin.

It also includes SAP (Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate), a gentle vitamin C derivative known for its stability and lower irritation potential.

Soothing Botanicals + Peptides

Alongside vitamin C, it features Centella Asiatica extract to calm the skin, 5 peptides for well-ageing support, soybean ferment extract, and a whole mix of antioxidant-rich botanical extracts to nourish and repair the skin barrier.

What It Claims to Do

Klairs says this serum helps with:

  • Dead skin cell removal

  • Brightening dull skin tone

  • Minimising the appearance of enlarged pores

  • Preventing pigmentation
    It's essentially a glow-boosting multitasker designed to rejuvenate your skin over time.

Texture, Feel & First Impressions

Lightweight But Nourishing

This serum is clear and runny with an oily feel, though not greasy or heavy. It gives an instant glow, likely due to its light moisturising properties.

A Bit of Warmth

I noticed a slight tingling and warming sensation on first use—something I expected as someone with sensitive skin. But thankfully, there was no redness, and the tingling disappeared after a few uses.

Now, I just get a brief warming sensation that fades quickly.

Storage Tips: Keep It Cool

Because vitamin C is prone to oxidation, this serum comes with a 3-month PAO (Period After Opening).
It’s best stored in the fridge or in a cool, dark place.

I keep mine in its original box out of sunlight. Despite not being refrigerated, the formula is still crystal clear, so it seems the packaging holds up well.

Who It’s Best For

If you’ve struggled with vitamin C serums in the past, this one is for you. It’s:

  • Gentle enough for sensitive skin

  • Ideal for daily use

  • Supportive for well-ageing and brightening goals

It might not deliver instant, dramatic results like higher-strength vitamin C serums, but it wins when it comes to consistency, comfort, and skin tolerance. I love that I can use it nightly without worrying about irritation.

Final Thoughts

The Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin Drop is a great pick if you're after a gentle antioxidant serum that supports well-ageing and improves glow over time.

Especially for those of us with sensitive skin, this feels like a smart, slow-and-steady approach to using vitamin C.
