What is an undertone?

An undertone is the color beneath the surface of your skin, which never changes (even with a tan). There are three types of undertones:

Pink/Cool

I see red or pink undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin burns easily, but barely tans.
My skin looks better in silver jewelry than gold.

Neutral

I see both pink and yellow undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin sometimes burns and sometimes tans.
My skin looks good in both gold and silver jewelry.

Yellow/Warm

I see yellow or golden undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin rarely burns, but tans easily.
My skin looks better in gold jewelry than silver.

Reviews

Love this so far!

"This has a light cocoa scent that is not too overpowering (I'm sensitive to smells). It feels mid weight so it's perfect for the day as well as night! Been looking for something that is still anti-aging, strengthening, and perfect for off days from retinol!!"

Veronica B. (5/5)

LOVE IT!

"This is a beautiful moisturiser for day and night. It was recommended to be one of the customer representatives in store. It's feels super clean and gives the skin such lovely vibrancy and dewy feel and look. A little does a lot!"

Natalie S. (5/5)

Radiant skin even in WINTER

"A little background here —I am 48 with mature very dry skin. I am always looking for more moisture and hydration. I was recommended this cream by a makeup artist friend and I cannot put into words how glowy and supple my skin looks. Immediately it feels so plump and hydrated, even in the dead of winter when it’s normally so hard to retain moisture. The texture of this moisturizer is like no other! Very creamy, but not heavy or too thick and it sinks into my skin without feeling weird. I do not need very much, just about a dime size on damp skin and it goes along way. I’m hooked and have already recommended it to several girlfriends."

Ana R. (5/5)

Really nice glow.

"This cream genuinely makes my dry skin so moist and plump. It has a very light pleasant scent and very creamy texture. I will continue to use it and plan to rebuy."

Angelo (5/5)

When Hydration Finally Holds

"Klur’s Essentialist moisturizer has been nothing short of transformative for my skin. After years of struggling with dryness + dehydration- and layering serums, lotions, and oils in search of balance- I had resigned myself to the idea that lasting hydration simply wasn’t achievable. My skin would begin the day hopeful and end it dull, tight, and depleted. Essentialist changed that entirely. From the first few uses, I noticed something remarkable: by the end of the day, my skin wasn’t tired or flat- it was brighter, more luminous, and visibly alive. That glow didn’t fade; it deepened. It felt as though my skin was finally being held, supported, and sustained rather than constantly corrected. What I love most is how effortlessly Essentialist streamlines my routine. It has replaced multiple steps with one intentional, deeply nourishing formula- proof that thoughtful formulation can do more with less. It’s the kind of product you commit to, the kind you don’t look to replace. I’m fully married to it. The experience extends far beyond the formula. The weight of the glass jar, the cool precision of the metal spatula- every detail feels considered and luxurious without excess. It’s clear that Klur cares deeply not only about what goes on the skin, but about how the entire ritual feels in the hands. Using Essentialist feels grounding, refined, and complete. This is skincare that respects the skin- and the person using it."

Carolyn (5/5)

Wanted to love

"Didnt try this long enough because it broke me out. Feel that this would be best for dryer skin- Do not confuse dry skin with mature skin- not the same and if you have mature skin that isn’t dry, try something else."

Ana R. (3/5)

Perfect for maturing skin!

"Been using this for a while and just love the way it feels on - not a lotion, but not a thick cream either - so the perfect in between for my maturing skin. Love how well it absorbs and how my skin feels after I apply it. Bonus, the slight cocoa smell when you open the jar. So soothing."

Megan H. (5/5)

Amazing moisturizer

"This is one of my favorite moisturizers, which is shea butter-free and goes on very smooth and truly lasts all day. I have extremely dry and sensitive skin and this is literally the only moisturizer at credo that I've really liked because it's so long lasting, but without being too thick. Highly recommend!"

Tara H. (5/5)

Amazing!

"One of the best moisturizers I've ever had, and perfect for winter dry skin"

Zara W. (5/5)

This moisturizer exists

"In contrast to all the raving reviews here, I found myself underwhelmed by this moisturizer. It did not feel moisturizing - the texture was oddly tacky and sticky, and did not feel hydrating for my combination skin. The scent was indeed very cocoa-like, which I found pleasant but disconcerting - I don't exactly want or need my skin to smell like chocolate! The incredible glow, radiance, and all other benefits mentioned in the other reviews - I didn't experience any of that at all. It left my skin unchanged, no better and no worse, which is probably as honest and straightforward a skincare review you'll find."
