01 · Why now

More K-beauty shoppers, and most of them reach the cream step

U.S. sales of Korean beauty reached USD 2 billion in the 12 months to Aug. 9, 2025, up 37% from USD 1.5 billion a year earlier, in NIQ data. Skin care makes up all five of the top K-beauty brands by U.S. online spend.[1] New shoppers build a routine one step at a time, and the moisturiser is the step they keep longest.

Many of them have reactive skin. A meta-analysis of 26 studies with 51,783 participants in 18 countries found that 71% of people describe their skin as sensitive to some degree.[2] For a retailer, a comfortable cream with years of proof is the safest one to put on the moisturiser shelf.


02 · A moisture classic

Two million sold, renewed twice, and still growing

The Rich Moist Soothing Cream has sold more than 2 million units worldwide as of April 2026.[3] It passed 1 million in 2022, the eighth Klairs product to reach that mark, and has kept selling since.[4]

  • October 2016 renewal. Klairs enhanced the moisturising ingredients, made the formula vegan-friendly and grew the tube from 50 to 60 mL.[3]
  • April 2021 renewal. The tube grew again to 80 mL, the essential oils were reduced, and a screw cap made it easier to use.[3]
  • Awards. No.1 Cream at the CHICOR Best Awards in 2019 and 2020, Harper's BAZAAR Beauty Hot 100 (2019), Beauty MNL's 36 Best Skincare Products of 2019 and Soko Glam Best of K-Beauty (2017).[3]

03 · What it is

A rich everyday cream with beta-glucan and ceramide

  • Size: 80 mL tube, also sold as a 20 mL mini[3]
  • Key ingredients: Hyaluronic acid, beta-glucan and centella asiatica extract[5], with ceramide NP, shea butter and jojoba seed oil[6]
  • Texture: A thick, buttery cream that spreads and sinks in without a greasy finish[6][7]
  • Formula: Vegan-friendly, cruelty-free, no added fragrance[3]
  • Tests listed: Primary skin irritation, primary irritation on sensitive skin, skin barrier function improvement, 24-hour continuous hydration and moisture balance[5]
  • Track record: More than 2 million units sold worldwide as of April 2026[3]

Creators who use it describe it as a basic, well-balanced moisturiser rather than a treatment. Tina Tanaka Harris calls it "a simple everyday all-rounder" that she empties at least one tube of every year and returns to each winter.[8]


04 · Market position

The rich, proven option on the moisture shelf

Most barrier creams compete on the same thing: a light ceramide texture that disappears. The Klairs cream holds a different spot in the market. It is rich and buttery, yet absorbs into a comfortable finish, which makes it the answer for dry skin and cold months.[5]

Barrier-cream type What it sells Where Klairs stands apart
Light ceramide gel-creams A barely-there feel A rich, buttery texture for dry and winter skin[5]
Low-irritation soothing creams Calm for reactive skin Beta-glucan and ceramide NP with barrier and 24-hour hydration tests listed[5]
Large family-size tubs Volume A daily face cream with 2 million+ sold[3]
Heavy balms Occlusion Rich comfort that still absorbs, morning and night[5]

Qualitative positioning by WishTrade across moisture-cream types.

A shelf of light barrier creams leaves the dry-skin and winter shopper without an answer. The Klairs cream is that answer, from a brand whose Midnight Blue and toner lines shoppers already know.


05 · Why stock it

Shoppers rate it, keep buying it, and creators come back to it

  • Rated by shoppers. 4.7 stars from 2,496 YesStyle reviews, with 98.3% of customers satisfied.[9] One reviewer calls it "the best moisturizing cream I've ever tried in 15 years"; another, with sensitive, acne-prone skin, says it "instantly became my favorite."[9]
  • A texture shoppers remember. Soo Beauty compares the feel to "a big fluffy duvet in the middle of cold winter"; No BS Beauty found it absorbs well to a matte finish.[7][10]
  • A day-and-night cream. Tina Tanaka Harris uses it morning and night and reaches for it most in colder months.[8][11]
  • An entry cream for the brand. Klairs staff told creator Inssi that new interns try it among their first products, because it balances oil and moisture for dry and oily skin.[12]
  • A renewed line behind it. The Rich Moist serum, foaming cleanser and soothing sheet mask now share the new look, so a buyer can merchandise one routine.[3]

06 · The line

The renewed Rich Moist line

Renewed Rich Moist line: Soothing Cream, Soothing Serum, Foaming Cleanser and Soothing Sheet Mask
Product Size Key ingredients YesStyle rating
Rich Moist Soothing Cream 80 mL Hyaluronic acid, beta-glucan, centella asiatica extract[5] 4.7★ · 2,496 reviews[9]
Rich Moist Soothing Serum 80 mL Betaine 1%, hyaluronic acid 0.1%, panthenol, beta-glucan[13] 4.6★ · 1,067 reviews[14]
Rich Moist Foaming Cleanser 100 mL Betaine, panthenol, tea tree oil, dimethyl sulfone[15] 4.5★ · 899 reviews[16]
Rich Moist Soothing Sheet Mask 30 mL Five ceramides, shea butter, rice bran water, panthenol, sodium hyaluronate[17] New look

Ratings: YesStyle, checked 7 Oct. 2026.

The serum is the natural first add-on. James Welsh reviews it right before the cream, and the two sit together in Klairs packages.[18]

The foaming cleanser and the soothing sheet mask complete the routine. Lead with the cream: public reviews of the cleanser and mask are far fewer.


07 · How to merchandise it

Sell it as the rich option on the barrier-cream shelf

  • Lead with the proof. A shelf card that reads "2 million sold. 4.7★ from 2,496 reviews." gives the shopper two reasons in one line.
  • Shelve it beside the barrier creams as the rich option for dry skin and cold months.
  • Offer the 20 mL mini. It lets shoppers try the texture before the full tube.
  • Sell the renewed line. Cream, serum, foaming cleanser and sheet mask share one look and make a simple routine bundle.
