Maple Energy Infusing Serum
UPDATE OCTOBER 26, 2024
My previous review and opinion remains intact towards this serum, and I’d like to add a few additional positives that made me like this even more!
A Bit of Background on Dear Klairs’ Maple Energy Infusing Serum:
- A goopy yet non-sticky serum
- Contains 30 ml / 1.01 fl. oz.
- Purpose: To deeply nourish and moisturize the skin and leave a dewy, bouncy glow
I’d like to compare this to the mixsoon bean essence as that is the closest product I can find for comparison to this, and I thought I would swear on the mixsoon bean essence but that has changed for me. This one blows the mixsoon bean essence out of the park and I find that this works better for my skin type (oily/combo skin). So for this review, I’ll be using the overhyped Mixsoon bean essence as a point of reference.
Here are some of the reasons I’d rate this a 5/5—possibly even higher if I could break the scale (and I’m NOT one to gloss over brands just because I got it for free; my criticism knows no bounds):
🍂 Ingredients Comparison: The ingredient lists between the Mixsoon Bean Essence and Dear Klairs Maple Energy Infusing Serum are vastly different—Mixsoon has only four ingredients. Surprisingly, I prefer the longer list in Dear Klairs because I want preservatives to ensure product longevity. “All-natural” ingredients aren’t a priority for me here; I save that focus for my diet.
🍂 Clean Ingredient Profile: Despite the longer ingredient list, Dear Klairs contains zero unwanted additives, making it superior to most other serums I’ve tried.
🍂 Shelf Life and Scent: While this serum has no added fragrances, it still smells noticeably better. I’ve used it for just over a month, while I used Mixsoon for six months. By the third month, Mixsoon started smelling odd, likely due to its lack of preservatives. So, Dear Klairs wins this category.
🍂 Immediate Glow: I love how the Maple Energy Infusing Serum leaves a healthy glow, brightening my skin immediately after use—something Mixsoon doesn’t offer.
🍂 Consistency: Both have similar textures, though Mixsoon is a bit more watery and feels slightly goopy upon application, drying down to a matte finish. Dear Klairs, in contrast, is a touch less goopy and dries to a dewy finish, which I prefer as it enhances the look of my makeup.
Overall, I love this serum and am grateful for the chance to try it, thanks to Dear Klairs!

ORIGINAL REVIEW SEPTEMBER 17, 2024
Lowkey, I don’t think I’ve ever obsessed over a serum until I came across this one. From the packaging to the formulation, it hits all the right notes. I’m so thankful to Picky and Dear Klairs for sending me this beautiful item.
The Dear Klairs Maple Energy Infusing Serum is designed to deeply hydrate and nourish your skin while maintaining its bounce. It's a great choice for those looking to prevent premature wrinkles and aging, keeping their skin youthful and vibrant.
Here are some of the reasons I’m obsessed with this serum:
🍁 Have you seen the packaging?! I wasn’t expecting it to feel or look so luxurious until I held it in my hands. It has a nice weight, and the matte closure is stunning.
🍁 The formulation is one of a kind. It may look sticky, but trust me, it’s not. It feels a bit goopy when you dispense it, but once applied, it dries down to a non-sticky, dewy finish.
🍁 This serum is packed with skincare goodies and contains absolutely zero icky ingredients. Some of the standout ingredients include:
⁃ Glycerin (moisturizing)
⁃ Betaine (moisturizing)
⁃ Squalane (emollient)
⁃ Shea Butter (emollient)
⁃ Mango Seed Butter (emollient)
⁃ Adenosine (cell-communicating)
⁃ Rutin (antioxidant)
⁃ Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and 7 (cell-communicating)
From the ingredient list, you can already tell it works on a cellular level to hydrate and repair your skin.
🍁 As someone with a sensitive nose, I didn’t notice any scent.
Overall, I’d give this a solid 5/5.
Honestly. I haven’t seen a con. I initially didn’t want to like this but ended up loving it.
