The Klairs Fundamental Watery Oil Drop is an oil like moisturizing serum that provides skin with hydration and antioxidants. It was technically marketed as facial oil for those who want the benefits of an oil without the oily finish. I am mainly using this serum for the antioxidants and hydration. This serum does not contain fragrances, essential oils, silicone, and alcohol which are most commonly found in skincare products.

Formulated with camellia sinensis leaf water (green tea), ceramide, peptides, rice extracts, kelp extracts, and sodium hyaluronate. These will assist with anti-aging and replenishing hydration.

Full ingredient list:
Aqua(Water), Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Water, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract, Bifida Ferment Extract, Betaine, Dipropylene Glycol, Sorbitol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Aspergillus/Rice Ferment Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Sorbitan Sesquioleate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Sodium Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Xanthan Gum, Arginine, Carbomer, Tocopheryl Acetate, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Laminaria Japonica Extract, Ceramide NP, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Copper Tripeptide-1, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8

I appreciate the sturdy glass bottle and dropper. The dropper picks up the serum very well and doesn’t make a mess at the mouth of the bottle. At first I thought this was going to be greasy but surprisingly has a watery runny like serum consistency. This allows it to be very fast absorbing into the skin and hydrates instantly.

Leaves a nice dewy finish with no sticky feel. The water-based formula feels light and breathable. My skin feels nourished and bouncy. This texture is great for all year round use. Light enough for warm summer weather and layered with additional products during the winter. Those with dry to dehydrated skin would enjoy this.

I use 2 – 3 drops of the serum for the entire face. It would make a good a stand-alone product for day time use under makeup when you want something light and do not need much moisturizing. During the evening, you may need to layer a moisturizing cream over this for extra hydration. A good substitute for a facial oil.

This serum may seem fairly basic since it does not contain any strong acids but has many beneficial anti-aging ingredients. If you have sensitive skin like me and cannot tolerate strong ingredients or acids, this works well without aggravating skin. I’m definitely keeping this in my routine and would purchase when I run out.
