The beloved Korean sunscreen is back with an improved formula. I foresee dear, Klairs All-day Airy Sunscreen will go sold out quite often and quickly.
Incredibly light to be a moisturising chemical sun cream but it’s real: dear, Klairs is back with its All-day Airy Sunscreen.
dear, Klairs All-day Airy Sunscreen: product & packaging
Skincare house dear, Klairs reminds us it’s time for sun protection all year round. It makes the job nice and easy by bringing back one of the most beloved Korean sunscreens with a dermatologically tested new formula. dear, Klairs All-day Airy Sunscreen ($21.00) is a delicate chemical sunscreen with a featherlight texture and a strong SPF shield: it’s SPF 50+ and PA++++.
It comes in a handy 50ml tube; its bright, yellow and white, package will remind you of Summer 365 days.
Formula
The newest sunscreen by dear, Klairs is a chemical sunscreen for all skin types that combines the typical sun protection you’d expect with the hydration of a daily moisturiser.
The new formula has a fast-absorbing, non-greasy, soothing and cooling texture with gel particles that absorb and release the heat from the UV rays. At a close inspection of the ingredient list, none of the most known and most-feared ingredients of this kind of sun cream (chemical sunscreen) can be found in their original state: avobenzone, octinoxate and oxybenzone.
dear, Klairs All-day Airy Sunscreen is still a chemical product but has been formulated to include some beneficial natural extracts, such as portulaca (soothing), maca root (adaptogen) and aloe vera (soothing/cooling).
If the departure of dear, Klair Soft Airy UV Essence left you wondering what to use safely, you’ll be reassured to know that the new dear, Klairs All-day Airy Sunscreen has passed 3 UV Protection (SPF) clinical tests and it has been proven dermatologically tested and safe.
Texture and scent
Described by the brand as a “water-based gel”, dear, Klairs All-day Airy Sunscreen texture is more a fluid and light cream, which spreads with incredible ease leaving the skin dewy, smooth and refreshed, as well as protected from the sun. It has a light creamy yellow colour and a light “awakening” scent that vaguely reminds me of citrus.
How to use
Apply dear, Klairs All-day Airy Sunscreen as the last step of your daily skincare routine, and use it generously. Wait around 15 minutes before heading out to ensure the product is absorbed and your skin is efficiently protected.

As we swap our wardrobes and the weather gets chillier, everyone is tempted to put his/her sunscreen in the drawer and forget about it until the next season (when it would be too old to use). That’s simply wrong.
There’s something I learned from early spring in the UK: sunspots develop easier than you might think, no matter how cloudy it can be. Meanwhile, premature ageing is just waiting for you, and you’ll realise it too late. A good sunscreen will protect you from both issues 365 days a year, and dear, Klairs All-day Airy Sunscreen do it without making you even feel its presence!

Everybody, including this writer, loves hassle-free cosmetics that perform as their brands promote. If there’s something I like even more is multifunctional cosmetics, and the latest sunscreen from dear, Klairs is that. It’s a powerful sun cream and a light moisturiser in one and, applied on top of my current face cream, adds no extra weight.
It applies heavenly and leaves my skin glossy, not greasy; protected and hydrated, not cakey and ghostly pale. The best: I’m developing a light tan without reddening, and I can apply it several times without feeling it.
dear, Klairs All-day Airy Sunscreen is one of those products you can tell is feather-light. It makes sun protection, this crucial step in skincare, unforgettable and unmissable. Yes, this is a really positive reply by a satisfied suncatcher.
I go chasing the sun before it goes…
